In the Quiet Night

A bed, I see a silver light,

I wonder if it’s frost aground.

Looking up, I find the moon bright;

Bowing, in homesickness I’m drowned.

I look for her in vain.

When all at once I turn my head,

I find her there where lantern light is dim

ly shed. Translated by Xu Yuanchong

众里寻他千百度 , 蓦然回首 , 那人却在 , 灯火阑珊处。

青玉案 . 元夕--- 辛弃疾

Till, raising my cup, I asked the bright moon, To bring me my shadow and make us three.

举杯邀明月 , 对影成三人。

Wildfire never quite consumes them -- They are tall once more in the spring wind.

野火烧不尽 , 春风吹又生。

One-hearted

When those red berries come in springtime,

Flushing on your southland branches,

Take home an armful, for my sake,

As a symbol of our love.Can you guess the poem?

红豆生南国 , 春来发几枝。

愿君多采撷 , 此物最相思。

Coming Home (a Tang poem)

I left home young. I return old.

Speaking as then, but with hair grow thin;

And my children, meeting me, do not know me.

They smile and say: Stranger, where do you

come from?

A SPRING MORNING

I awake light-hearted this morning of spring,

Everywhere round me the singing of birds

But now I remember the night, the storm,

And I wonder how many blossoms were broken.

春晓春眠不觉晓 , 处处闻啼鸟。夜来风雨声 , 花落知多少。 by Meng Haoran

There’s s teacher Mr. Moore.

Who is lovely and thirty-four.

Always encouraging us to try.

He leads us to a world of “why”.

We all admire him more and more.

Example:

Before my bed, there is bright moonlight,

So it seems like frost on the ground.

LIfting my head, I saw the bright moon,

Lowering my head, I dream that I’m at home.

③ 声 声 慢 李清照　　寻寻觅觅，冷冷清清，凄凄惨惨戚戚。乍暖还寒时候，最难将息。三杯两盏淡酒，怎敌他、晚来风急！雁过也，正伤心，却是旧时相识。 　　满地黄花堆积，憔悴损，如今有谁堪摘！守着窗儿，独自怎生得黑！梧桐更兼细雨，到黄昏、点点滴滴。这次第，怎一个愁字了得！

Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird. If that mockingbird won’t sing, Papa’s going to buy you a diamond ring. If that diamond ring turns to brass,Papa’s going to buy you a looking glass. If that looking-glass gets broke,Papa’s going to buy you a billy-goat. If that billy-goat runs away,Papa is going to buy you another today.

Nursery rhyme( 童谣 )

I saw a fish-pond all on fire, I saw a house bow to a squire,I saw a person twelve-feet high,I saw a cottage in the sky,I saw a balloon made of lead,I saw a coffin drop down dead,I saw two sparrows run a race,I saw two horses making lace,I saw a girl just like a cat,I saw a kitten wear a hat,I saw a man who saw these too,And said though strange they all were true.

Our first football matchWe would have won… if Jack had just scored that goal, if we’d had just a few more minutes, if we had trained harder, if Ben had passed the ball to Joe, if we’d had thousands of fans screaming, if I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball, if we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before, if we hadn’t taken it easy, if we hadn’t run out of energy, We would have won… if we’ve been better!

On and on the river flows

Never looking back,

Transformed into stone.
