有約 司馬光

有約       司馬光 (1019-1086)

黃梅時節家家雨，   青草池塘處處蛙。  

有約不來過夜半，   閒敲棋子落燈花。  

A Date with a Friend       Sima Guang (1019-1086) 

When the plums are ripening it keeps raining all the days,

On the green green grasses and in the ponds frogs are everywhere all over the place,
It’s already midnight my friend seems to have missed our date,
Idling I delve into different chess game plots till the candle burns away.
