许其正：欢笑的荷田

荷田欢笑着

一朵荷花就是一张笑脸

她们在水面上

水里也有一张脸

河田有多大，便容有多少笑影

她们兀自欢笑着

在岁月里愉快地过日子

不管夏天的烈日炙烤

不管夏天的豪雨轰击

更不管夏天的热浪围堵

她们兀自欢笑着

夏蛙和鸣虫在旁边敲鼓、吹奏

蜻蜓、蝴蝶和鸟雀在旁边舞蹈

花香和泥香到处喷发着

给她们助兴

她们欢笑着

出自内心真正的欢笑

出自内心对夏天的赞颂

欢笑在水面和水里相对映

荷田有多大，便容有多少笑影

The laughing Lotus Pond

　　　Hsu ChiCheng



Each lotus in the lotus pond

Is a laughing face

They stand gracefully

With their faces reflecting on water

The lotus pond is full of laughter

They keep laughing

And lead a happy life

Bearing the burning sun’s torment

Bearing rainstorm’s ravage

Bearing heat wave’s attack

They keep laughing

Frogs and insects play and drum by their sides

Butterflies, dragonflies and larks

Sing or dance nearby

For them

They keep laughing

To sing the praise of the summer heartfelt

No matter how large the lotus pond is

It is always full of laughter

Only there is lotus@
