竹外桃花三两枝， 春江水暖鸭先知

· 句意 ·

竹林外已有两三枝桃花绽开花蕾，在水中嬉戏的鸭子最先察觉初春江水的回暖。

描写初春生机勃勃的景象，说明了这样的哲理：对事物有敏锐的观察才能抓住先机。

· 英译 ·

Outside the bamboo grove， there are a couple of peaches beginning to bloom. It is the ducks playing in the water that discover that the water becomeswarmer， which indicates that the spring has come.

To describe the lively scene in early spring. To explain the philosophy： we should be penetrating.That's how we can grasp opportunities first.

惠崇《春江晓景》

　

宋　苏轼

竹外桃花三两枝，

春江水暖鸭先知。

蒌蒿满地芦芽短，

正是河豚欲上时。
