It was about dark now; so I dropped the canoe down the river under some willows that hung over the bank, and waited for the moon to rise.

这时，天擦黑了，所以我把小舟放到了河上，河岸上的几株柳树覆盖着小舟，我就在那儿等着月亮升起。

Deep in the night, over the parapet the moon shines, in grief I look towards the east where pass the waters of River Huai.

夜半更深，月亮从女墙上升起来，而赏心亭东望著秦淮河。

The moon waxed over the Crescent City like a sliver over the Mississippi River, a cradle in the sky over the cradle of jazz.
