送友人
【唐】李白
青山横北郭,白水绕东城。
此地一为别,孤蓬万里征。
浮云游子意,落日故人情。
挥手自兹去,萧萧班马鸣。

Seeing Off a Friend
By LI Bai
Tr. ZHAO Yanchun
Green mountains stand in the north end;
White waters run east of the town.
Now you’re leaving, my heart does rend:
You’re drifting off like a blown down.
The hanging clouds would linger high;
The sinking sun would up there stay.
Raising our hands, we wave good bye;
Our steeds, apart now, loudly neigh.
