Gazing Out Across the Ocean 东临碣石,以观沧海。 水何澹澹,山岛竦峙。 树木丛生,百草丰茂。 秋风萧瑟,洪波涌起。 日月之行,若出其中; 星汉灿烂,若出其里, 幸甚至哉,歌以咏志。曹操《观沧海》 Come east of Jieshi Cliff I gaze out across the ocean, Its rolling waves Studded with rocks and islets; Dense the trees and bushes here, Rank the undergrowth; The autumn wind is soughing, Huge billows are breaking. Sun and moon take their course As if risen from the sea; The bright galaxy of stars Seems sprung from the deep . And so , with joy in my heart, I hum this song.
