                                                                                       定风波
                                                                                                               苏 轼           

                莫听穿林打叶声,何妨吟啸且徐行。竹杖芒鞋轻胜马,谁怕?一蓑烟雨任平生。

           料峭春风吹酒醒,微冷,山头斜照却相迎。回首向来萧瑟处,归去,也无风雨也无晴。

                                                           

                                                                  Calming the Waves

                                      Listen not to the rain beating against the trees.
                                      Why don’t you slowly walk and chant at ease?
                                      Better than a saddle I like sandals and cane.    
                                       I'd fain,
                                      In a straw cloak, spend my life in mist and rain.

                                      Drunken, I am sobered by the vernal wind shrill,And rather chill.
                                      In front, I see the slanting sun atop the hill;
                                     Turning my head, I see the dreary beaten track.
                                      Let me go back! Impervious to rain or shine, I'll have my own will.
