离思
[唐]元稹
曾经沧海难为水，除却巫山不是云。
取次花丛懒回顾，半缘修道半缘君。

THINK OF MY DEAR WIFE

No water's enough when you have crossed the sea；
No cloud is beautiful but that which crowns the peak.
I pass by flowers that fail to attract poor me
Half for your sake and half for Taoism I seek.

Thoughts of Thee

No river is worthy of my heed since I’ve been to the Sea;
Save in Mount Woo truer clouds there can hardly be.
I never bother to look back at bevies of floral beauties
Because of the ascetic vow I took, and of dear thee.

曾经沧海难为水，
　　 No water is sweeter having soaked up your cum,
　　 除却巫山不是云。
　　 No sports are peachier having basked in the sports of cloud,
　　 取次花丛懒回顾，
　　 Hardly did I care to stoop to a seductively new flowerbed,
　　 半缘修道半缘君。
　　 Driven by a spiritual prohibition and, my earthly lust for thou!
