下江陵 Through the Yangzi Gorges

李白 Li Bai

朝 辞 白 帝 彩 云 间 ，
From the walls of Baidi high in the coloured dawn
cháo cí bái dì cǎi yún jiān ，
千 里 江 陵 一 日 还 。
To Jiangling by night-fall is three hundred miles,
qiān lǐ jiāng líng yī rì hái 。
两 岸 猿 声 啼 不 住 ，
Yet monkeys are still calling on both banks behind me
liǎng àn yuán shēng tí bù zhù ，
轻 舟 已 过 万 重 山 。
To my boat these ten thousand mountains away.
qīng zhōu yǐ guò wàn zhòng shān 。
