《离思》
元稹
曾经沧海难为水，除却巫山不是云。
取次花丛懒回顾，半缘修道半缘君。
No pining for other waters once I have tasted the blue sea,
No esteem for any clouds save the very one at the Wu Hill.
Walking amongst flowers, no desire to turn around and see,
‘Cause partly for the Tao I pick and partially for you my Jill.

巫山很陡峭，可能 hill 不合适。
这个我明白。除了押韵之原因外，另一个原因是在这首诗里，山有多高多大，似乎不是重中之重，因为它只是个地方的代名词，我认为关键词是‘云’。
Of course, I don't have to use 'hill', as a saying goes, "all roads lead to Rome"

Taoism. What Tao means? foreigners may not understand it.
Tao (道, Pinyin Dào ) is a concept found in Taoism, Confucianism, and more generally in ancient Chinese philosophy. While the character itself translates as "way," "path," or "route," or sometimes more loosely as "doctrine" or "principle," it is used philosophically to signify the fundamental or true nature of the world. The concept of Tao differs from conventional (western) ontology, however; it is an active and holistic conception of the world, rather than a static, atomistic one.
