Question

green rushes with red shoots'
Long leaves bending to the wind-
You and I in the same boat
Plucking rushes at Five Lakes.
We started at dawn from the orchid-island:
We rested under the elms until noon.
You and I plucking rushes
Had not plucked a handful when night came.

Answer 1

这是一首唐代以前的古诗<<采灯草>>，具体作者和准确年份(公元300~400年之间)，已经无记载。

全文应是:
Plucking the Rushes Anon
A boy and a girl are sent to gather rushes for thatching
Green rushes with red shoots,
Long leaves bending to the wind ━
You and I in the same boat
Plucking rushes at the Five Lakes.
We started at dawn from the orchid-island:
We rested under elms till noon.
You and I plucking rushes
Had not plucked a handful when night came!

可翻译成现代口语形式：

采灯草

为求棚盖，
孤男独女，
觅灯芯草，
绿草红尖，
长叶弯风，
你我同舟，
采草湖中，

你我晨采，
始获兰花，
当午休息，
在榆树下，
你我灯草，
夜幕降临，
尚未一把...

*注：一男一女去采集灯芯草，可是到了晚上却还采集不到一把，
那么他们一整天都在干嘛呢，这是一首唐代以前的古诗<<采灯草>>，具体作者和准确年份(公元300~400年之间)，已经无记载。

全文应是:
Plucking the Rushes Anon
A boy and a girl are sent to gather rushes for thatching
Green rushes with red shoots,
Long leaves bending to the wind ━
You and I in the same boat
Plucking rushes at the Five Lakes.
We started at dawn from the orchid-island:
We rested under elms till noon.
You and I plucking rushes
Had not plucked a handful when night came!

作者虽然没有直接说明，却通过：晨采兰花到午间休闲在榆树下等美丽湖景风光，留给读者无限浪漫的爱情暇想......

Answer 2

这是南朝的一首乐府诗《拔蒲》，英文为Arthur Waley翻译，原文如下：
青蒲衔紫茸，长叶复从风。与君同舟去，拔蒲五湖中。
朝发桂兰渚，昼息桑榆下。与君同拔蒲，竟日不成把。
