王观卜算子·送鲍浩然之浙东英译

Waters are Beauty’s glances—Which, on the lucky ones, fall.Mountains are Her painted brows,Not looking painted at all.

If you ask a traveler,Where he is going and why,“To see mountains and waters;To see Beauty’s brow and eye.”

Now, we’ve just seen Spring off.To be sent off, ‘tis your turn.If you catch Spring in Jiangnan,To live with him, you must learn.

王观简介

王观（生卒年不详）字通叟，海陵（今江苏泰州）人，为胡瑗门人。嘉祐二年（1057），任大理寺丞，知江都县。累官翰林学士。因词作《清平乐》有「黄金殿里，烛影双龙戏」、「折旋舞彻《伊州》，君恩与整搔头」等句，忤太后旨，翌日罢职。遂自号逐客，或称王逐客。往在太学时，秦观父赞其「高才力学」，故亦取子名为「观」。词集有《冠柳集》，不传。今有赵万里辑本。
