山中問答 - 李白 My English Translation
I love this poem. Below is my English translation. I did take some liberties while translating it, because I wanted it to rhyme. I hope that the original meaning is still intact though. Comments and critiques welcome.
山中問答 - 李白
問餘何意棲碧山
笑而不答心自閑
桃花流水窅然去
別有天地非人間
I desire to dwell in the blue-green mountain, you ask me why?
I smile, knowing my answer needs no reply
My heart is calm and mind serene
Peach blossoms and water flows quietly in the distance,
Not of man, another world beautiful and pristine.

I prefer more powerful (I can't describe) poem. Because I feel energetic when I read them. These can be:
君不見
黃河之水天上來，奔流到海不復回？
君不見
高堂明鏡悲白髮，朝如青絲暮成雪？
人生得意須盡歡，莫使金樽空對月。
天生我材必有用，千金散盡還復來。
烹羊宰牛且為樂，會須一飲三百杯。

First, I want to apologize for those people's rude words. Just ignore them.
Then, I feel these words show that you really get the deep meanning of the poem:My heart is calm and mind serene .
看起来你喜欢这种隐士派风格，这种意境有点桃园的感觉，代表诗人是陶渊明。李白以奔放华丽的诗作著称，他的诗是中华文明很经典的一部分。
你还喜欢别的诗，或者词吗？
看过辛弃疾的《青玉案》吗？
东风夜放花千树，
更吹落，星如雨。
宝马雕车香满路。
凤箫声动，玉壶光转，
一夜鱼龙舞。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕，
笑语盈盈暗香去。
众里寻他千百度，
蓦然回首，那人却在，
灯火阑珊处。

会说两句诗就以为自己会说中文啦？朋友，弄好叫？以为中国人全是傻子啊？等你完全了解中国和中国人了有你好受的了

我用中文简单解释一下吧： 有人问我为什么住在碧山上，我笑而不答，心中却闲适自乐。山上的桃花随着流水悠悠地向远方流去，这里就像别有天地的桃花源一样，不是凡尘世界所能比拟的。
用谷歌翻译的，有些不对：
Someone asked me why I live in Bishan on, I just laughed, my hearts feel comfortable and happy. Mountain peach lay with the water stream to go to the distance here is like not a retreat from the world of heaven and earth, not the mundane world can match.

It's completely correct. I have to say you are really clever. Even for me, it will need some time to understand it. But why do you use Traditiona Chinese, which can hardly be found in the main land of China. More often, we use Simplified Chinese.
