玉兰落瓣

一松手……几捧

月光…… 给大地

颁奖清香……

The Falling Magnolia Petals

lose hold of …… A few handfuls of

moonlight …… Awarding the earth

much fragrance ……

I'm feeling even thicker than normal today so you have to bear with me and ignore what I have got to say...

"The Falling Petals of Magnolia" - the falling magnolia petals

"Unclasp fingers" - letting go...

I don't even know what I'm saying... Wink

But I like 玉兰落瓣. Beautiful!

你觉得生动就好。其实题目也不用改,我的只是少了个词,其他人可能认为少了诗意呢。

clasp -(作为动词),意思是:

vb (tr)
1. to hold in a firm grasp
2. to grasp firmly with the hand
3. to fasten together with or as if with a clasp

花瓣被那么紧紧地抓在手中,不会被蹂躏了吗?
只是一点看法,不用当真。

put it in the poem, then we'll see...

sometimes, it is hard to tell without the context.
