Para 2
Li Bai’s love of reading and travelling from an early age contributed to his romantic style. He started studying the classics when he was only five years old, and was reading ancient philosophers of different schools at the age of ten, including Confucianism and Taoism. By reading books of all kinds, from legends to historical stories, he familiarized himself with classical Chinese culture, and more importantly, he acquired the wisdom of previous generations.
李白自幼热爱阅读和旅行，这为他后来的浪漫主义风格奠定了基础。他五岁便开始研读经典，十岁时已涉猎儒家、道家等不同学派的古代哲学家著作。通过阅读各类书籍，从传说到历史故事，他熟悉了中华古典文化，更重要的是，他汲取了前人的智慧。

Para 3
Driven by a burning desire for adventure and travel, Li Bai left home and started to travel around in his early twenties. His footsteps covered almost the whole country. During his travels, he visited famous mountains and great rivers, encountering different customs and practices. These travelling experiences also nourished his love of nature and inspired him to write numerous poems in the romantic style.
二十出头时，李白怀揣着对冒险和旅行的强烈渴望，离家出走，开始游历四方。他的足迹几乎遍及全国。在旅行中，他游览了名山大川，见识了不同的风俗习惯。这些旅行经历也滋养了他对自然的热爱，并激发了他创作大量浪漫主义诗歌的灵感。

Para 4
Li Bai’s romantic style was also deeply rooted in the social and historical context in which he lived. Li Bai grew up in the most glorious period of the Tang Dynasty, a time of economic boom and social stability. This open and tolerant atmosphere allowed Li Bai the liberty to develop a free and unconstrained personality, which, in turn, had a huge impact on his poetic production.
李白浪漫主义风格的形成也深深植根于他所处的社会和历史背景之中。他成长于唐朝最辉煌的时期，这是一个经济繁荣、社会稳定的时代。这种开放包容的氛围让李白得以发展出自由不羁的个性，这反过来又对他的诗歌创作产生了巨大影响

Para 5
Given his personal experiences and the historical background, it is only natural to see that the majority of Li Bai’s poems are characterized by the romantic style. Even the most uninformed reader would not fail to be impressed by the poet’s rich imagination. The moon and stars in the sky, the natural landscape and the figures in legends all become a vehicle for his imagination.
鉴于李白的个人经历和历史背景，他的诗歌大多呈现出浪漫主义风格，这是自然而然的。即使是最不了解诗歌的读者，也会对诗人丰富的想象力留下深刻印象。天上的月亮和星星、自然景观以及传说中的人物都成为他想象力的载体。

Equally impressive is Li Bai’s free expression of strong feelings, which breathes vitality into the lifeless objects he describes, and which distinguishes him from other landscape poets. These features are inseparable from Li Bai’s wide use of exaggeration, metaphor and other artistic techniques. The poem below, written in his fifties, is representative of his romantic style:
同样令人印象深刻的是李白对强烈情感的自由表达，这为他所描述的无生命物体注入了活力，也使他与其他山水诗人区别开来。这些特点与李白广泛运用夸张、隐喻等艺术手法密不可分。下面这首他五十多岁时所写的诗，就是他的浪漫主义风格的代表作：

Para 6
With his extraordinary imagination, free expression of strong feelings and mastery of language, Li Bai is widely recognized as the greatest romantic poet after Qu Yuan. Generations of poets, both in China and abroad, owe a debt to his inspirational poems. One such poet is Ezra Pound, a 20th-century American poet. He was fascinated by Li Bai’s poems and translated some of them in his 1915 poetry collection entitled Cathay. Today Li Bai’s poetry continues to be enjoyed by countless readers around the world.
李白以其非凡的想象力、对强烈情感的自由表达以及对语言的驾驭能力，被公认为屈原之后的伟大浪漫主义诗人。一代又一代的中外诗人，都受到他启发性诗歌的深远影响。其中一位便是20世纪美国诗人埃兹拉·庞德。他对李白的诗歌着迷不已，并在1915年出版的诗集《华夏集》中翻译了部分李白的诗作。如今，李白的诗歌仍被世界各地无数的读者所喜爱。
