1) Because of my love for drinking, I lost my job. Banished to Tao Yuan, I wonder how many times I'm going to lose yourself drinking and taking in the natural beauty of the place. (It probably sounds like too much of a good thing if you ask me).
2) As I take refuge in the relative peace and quiet of the peach blossom gardens, while civil strife rages outside, I can't help but feel helpless and conflicted that I can enjoy this privilege (but unable to provide my services to the country).
3) Just as in the vast peach blossom garden, the road ahead looks hazy, under the jujube tree a lot of sorrows will gather. (Note: the jujube fruit normally hangs in bunches, and is used as a analogy for describing the state of the world and all its miseries. Don't ask me why...)
4) Don't ask those who seek refuge in the peach blossom garden about the affairs of the world, for which one of them have seen strife themselves (whilst hiding there)
5) (Take into consideration the conditions of) still waters and peach blossoms, then choose the right path. (弱水- a description for still river conditions, difficult to get across without sail power, you will need a bit of elbow grease. Maybe it is an analogy for "given a choice of difficult crossing conditions, or head to the relative safety of the peach garden, the choice should always be based on the conditions at hand, and does not necessarily mean the hard path is the right path to take.)
6) Looking all around, the peach blossom trees filled the valley in a shade of red. With the scene this beautiful, there is no need to head to the peach blossom garden described by Tao Yuanming. (I guess it just means, in another way, don't hide in the peach blossom gardens whenever there is strife outside the world. For that, you will have to read the rest of the poem to get this conclusion- just this little bit here literally describes "red valley full of peach blossoms.")
