《诗经 ·蒹葭》英文版
Versicular Sutras: The Reeds
Translated by: Tweeting Green （忒绿）
蒹葭苍苍，
The reeds are vast and misty;
白露为霜。
White dews have got to be frosty.
所谓伊人，
Heard about a lovely lady,
在水一方。
Residing on the river line.
溯洄从之,
Go upstream to look for her,
道阻且长。
Along a trail that is rough and long.
溯游从之，
Go downstream to look for her,
宛在水中央。
Wondering where she would stay among the waters.
蒹葭萋萋，
The reeds are verdant and everywhere；
白露未晞。
White dews are still there.
所谓伊人，
Heard about a lovely lady,
在水之湄。
Residing on the riverside.
溯洄从之，
Go upstream to look for her,
道阻且跻。
Along a trail that is rough and bumps-covered.
溯游从之，
Go downstream to look for her,
宛在水中坻。
Wondering if she would stay on a mid-waters land.
蒹葭采采，
The reeds are grand and brilliant;
白露未已。
White dews are not yet dried out.
所谓伊人，
Heard about a lovely lady,
在水之涘。
Residing on the waterfront.
溯洄从之，
Go upstream to look for her,
道阻且右。
Along a trail that is rough and winding,
溯游从之,
Go downstream to look for her,
宛在水中沚。
Wondering if she would stay on an islet.
《诗经 ·蒹葭》现代汉语版
芦苇灰蒙苍茫，白露冻结成霜。有位可爱佳人，住在这片水乡。逆流而上寻她，小路艰难漫长。顺流而下寻她，不知水中何方。
芦苇青绿无垠，白露湿漉浸浸。有位可爱佳人，住在这片水滨。逆流而上寻她，小路崎岖艰辛。顺流而下寻她，可人何处栖身。
芦苇明亮浩浩，白露未干渐少。有位可爱佳人，住在这片水沼。逆流而上寻她，小路艰难曲绕。顺流而下寻找，可人水中渺渺。
白话文情景再现
深秋的清晨，天刚蒙蒙亮。芦苇荡雾蒙苍茫，露水已冻结成层层白色的冰霜。有位可爱的人儿大家都谈起她，据说就住在这片水乡的某个地方。我要去上游寻找她，需要沿着一条艰难又漫长的悬崖山路而上。我要游向下游寻找她，可不知道她停留在水中的哪个地方。
天渐渐亮起来了。青色的芦苇荡一望无边，冰霜渐渐化作露水在芦苇丛上湿湿的。有位可爱的人儿大家都谈起她，据说就居住在芦苇荡边。我要去上游寻找她，需要沿着一条艰难崎岖的悬崖山路而上。我要游向下游寻找她，可不知道她停留在水中的哪个河滩上。
太阳出来了，芦苇荡明亮又浩荡，不过白露尚未干。有位可爱的人儿大家等高兴谈起她，据说就住在河畔。我要去上游寻找她，可要沿着一条艰难曲折的悬崖山路跋涉而上。我要游向下游寻找她，可不知道她会停留在水中的哪个河洲上。
