Full text: A short boat trip to the West Lake is beautiful, with meandering green water, long embankments of fragrant grass, and faint music and songs everywhere. The glassy surface of the windless water surface was smooth, and the boat moved unknowingly, causing slight ripples and causing sandbirds to fly across the shore.
Translation: The scenery of the West Lake is beautiful, and it is so relaxing to take a short paddle in a light boat. The green lake stretches continuously, and the flowers and plants on the long embankment emit fragrance. There was faint music singing, as if following the boats floating on the lake. The windless water surface was as smooth as glass. I didn't feel that the boat was moving forward, and only saw slight waves rippling beside the boat. Look, the waterfowl that were startled by the boat are flying over the lake shore.
Extended information:
The last column mainly writes about embankment scenery, with a relaxed and elegant style. "The West Lake is good" is the key point of the article. The word "short boat" euphemistically expresses the meaning of leisure. Because it is a short boat, the boat floats slowly and leisurely on the lake, and visitors have enough time to enjoy the spring scenery on both sides of the bank. .
The two sentences "Green water, green grass and long embankment" describe the dynamic scene from the center of the lake through the water surface to the embankment, and then as a whole moving forward into the distance. The sentence "Faint music and music can be found everywhere" portrays the joyful mood of the West Lake from an auditory perspective. Both "Faint" and "Everywhere" highlight the flowing feeling of the boat.
The point of view in the lower column is narrowed, and it mainly writes "green water meandering". The passage describes the smoothness of the water surface, and the word "windless" refers to the location of the cardinal. It is because of the lack of wind that the water surface of the West Lake is clear and smooth, and it also makes the tourists "not aware of the boat moving". This is not only poetic, but also logical. . The boat was moving and the birds were moving, which broke the calmness of the lake, adding an exciting point to this leisurely trip.
Perhaps the sandfowl have long been accustomed to the smoothness of the West Lake, so the small ripples brought by the canoe are enough to startle the sandfowl and fly past the shore. Therefore, the viewpoint also extends from near to far, and then extends to high places, presenting the three-dimensional and dynamic West Lake in front of readers.
The whole poem uses the progress of the boat as a clue, gradually describing the scenery characteristics of the embankment and the lake, and integrating the leisurely interest of tourists into it, such as the short boat, the green water and the grass, the tourists singing and the flying sand. Birds, "West Lake is good" has been vividly interpreted in this context.
