花似伊，柳似伊，花柳青春人別离，低頭雙淚垂。
長江東，長江西，兩岸鴛鴦兩處飛，相逢知几時。
Poem in tune of Long-Time Lovesick (II)
by Oyang Xiu of Song Dynasty
The flower is like her;
The willow is like her.
Flower and willow in green spring, but someone departing.
Two lines of tears trickling with head drooping.
Yangtze River in east;
Yangtze River in west.
Mandarin ducks on both banks flying in different direction.
What time for reunion?

長江東，長江西
Yangtze River in east;
Yangtze River in west.

请问这句的意思是“长江在东边，长江在西边”；还是“长江的东边，长江的西边”？

臥龍好。
應該是後面的解釋﹐因為長江是東西流向的。

请教：direction 需要用复数吗？

相逢知几時。
这是不同的理解原诗问题。如果保持原诗的陈述语气，就是：“不知何时才能相逢啊”。

the word direction here should be used as plural, but in poetry, when consindering rhyme, you can omit the s. wriiting of poetry is diferent from writing of prose. poetry has special need, particularly in translations.
中文與英文的詞序不可能保持一致﹐產生一致只是巧合。

Thanks. I was not confident about this "omitting" business but it does happen in many English poems.

for example? as far as I know there's a tendency of omission of articles in haiku for its brevity on condition that it won't cause awkwardness and won't block the flow of the language.

谢谢答复。
想到读过的一篇文章，大意是，每个文本都不可能是完全的原创, but translations of translations of translations.
