原詩The Poem
煙水無涯夜有終,我心如海照長空。和光風浪連天起,也逐沙鷗向日紅。
作者英譯The Poet’s Own Translation
Mist and sea without end—yet night gives way to dawn.My heart, like the sea, holds the whole sky.Light, wind, and waves rise together toward heaven;I follow the gulls into the reddening sun.
註釋Annotation
  1. 煙臺山東海濱城市;作者小序記觀海處為金沙灘。
  2. 和光此處可連同日光、水光與風浪一起理解。
  3. 沙鷗海邊鳥群;結句以追隨其飛向紅日收束。
鑑賞Appreciation

四句由將盡的夜色轉向初升的紅日,視線也從海面移入心中,再隨沙鷗向外伸展。「我心如海」使風浪既是景物,也是內心的動勢。結句不求凌空獨去,而以「也逐」加入鳥群,讓開闊與同行相伴。

The four lines turn from the ending night toward sunrise. Their movement passes from the sea into the heart, then outward again with the gulls. Wind and waves become both a visible landscape and an inward energy. The final gesture is not solitary flight: the speaker follows the birds, allowing openness to emerge through participation in the scene.
