Happy Rain on Spring Night

Good rain knows its time right;  It will fall when comes spring.

With wind it steals in night;  Mute, it moistens each thing.

O’er wild lanes dark cloud spreads;  In boat a lantern looms.

Dawn sees saturated reds;  The town's heavy with blooms.

---Du Fu

—Translated by Xu Yuanchong

This famous poem, with four couplets, was written by Du Fu(712-770, Tang Dynasty) when he was living and farming in Chengdu. His farming experience taught him to be thankful to nature.

The very first word,“good”, shows the poet's joy and love for the spring rain. The rain is good because it“knows”the proper time to come. Here the poet uses personification(拟人化), as if the rain were smart enough to come in time for the farmer's busy season.

When the rain comes, it appears during the night without making any noise. Unlike the summer storms, the spring rain finishes its task without being known.

In the third couplet, the poet describes a peaceful scene to us. In the night sky, the clouds look dark and heavy. It's a sign that there will be enough rain during the night.The light from the riverboat makes the dark scene a bit livelier.

Lastly, the poet starts to imagine. Tomorrow morning, he thinks, the city of Chengdu will become beautiful when all of the flowers bloom(盛开) after the rain.

54. What's the Chinese title of the poem Happy Rain on a Spring Night?

A.《春望》    B.《春夜喜雨》       C.《夜雨寄北》   D.《临安春雨初雾》

55. Which word can be used to describe the rain in this poem?

A. Busy.         B. Dark.          C. Quiet.          D. Quick.
