In a single pool, the life is boundless: At the edge of the pond, near the grass on the banks, grow a cluster of plants floating on the water like water lilies--Nuphar shimadai, whose flowers are golden yellow. Bursting forth from the green leaves, the beautiful flowers make the pool seem as if it is the abode of some nymph, far away from the world of men.
池裡緊靠著岸草的水中，長著一簇簇有如睡蓮的浮葉植物﹘ ﹘台灣萍蓬草，一朵朵麗如黃金打造的金花，自那田田的葉間穿水而出，不只使這池子美麗脫俗，也使人相信它是沼澤仙子幽居的家園。
