舟泛洞庭
Language: Chinese (中文)
蛟室圍青草， 龍堆擁白沙。 護江盤古木， 迎櫂舞神鵶。 破浪南風正， 收颿畏日斜。 雲山千萬疊， 底處上仙槎。
Confirmed with Peng Dingqiu 彭定求 (ed.). Quan Tang shi 全唐詩 (Complete Tang Poems), Beijing: Zhonghua shuju, 1985.

Mon bateau glisse rapidement sur le...
Language: French (Français) after the Chinese (中文)
Mon bateau glisse rapidement sur le fleuve, et je regarde dans l'eau. Au-dessus est le grand ciel, où se promènent les nuages. Le ciel est aussi dans le fleuve ; quand un nuage passe sur la lune, je le vois passer dans l'eau. Et je crois que mon bateau glisse sur le ciel. Alors je songe que ma bien-aimée se reflète ainsi dans mon cœur.
