Dream and Poetry
梦与诗
文：胡适
It's all ordinary experience,都是平常经验，
All ordinary images.都是平常影象，
By chance they emerge in a dream,偶然涌到梦中来，
Turning out infinite new patterns.变幻出多少新奇花样!
It's all ordinary feelings,都是平常情感，
AH ordinary words.都是平常言语，
By chance they encounter a poet,偶然碰着个诗人，
Turning out infinite new verses.变幻出多少新奇诗句!
Once intoxicated, one learns the strength of wine,醉过才知酒浓，
Once smitten, one learns the power of love;爱过才知情重;
You cannot write my poems 你不能做我的诗，
Just as I cannot dream your dreams.正如我不能做你的梦。
