Unawares, mywherry's flown o'er lofty mountains in briskway.

Before the wailing of the apes onboth banks ceases,
The light boat has left behindunending mountains.
译本C:

For passage to Kiang-ling in one suncircuit:

Our light boat has gone by many foldmountains.

Out shoots my boat. The serriedmountains are all behind.

as my fragile boatswept
past a maze ofmountains.
