　　请将下面这段话翻译成英文：

　　李白是中国唐代著名的诗人之一。他因杰出的写诗才能，被赋予诗仙(Poetic Genius)的称号。他的大部分诗写于唐朝兴盛和衰败时期。他是中国历史上最伟大的诗人之一。李白一生都过着流浪的(wandering)生活。他有才华，但没有机会施 展。他很失望，心里愤愤不平。他必须通过喝酒和写诗来获得乐趣。然而我们可 能不得不感谢他悲惨的政治生活，否则我们将会失去一笔诗歌上的巨大财富。

　　参考答案:

　　Li Bai was one of the celebrated poets in the Tang Dynasty of China. He was endowed with the title of Poetic Genius for his brilliant talent in writing poems. Most of his poems were produced in the rise and fall period of the Tang Dynasty. He is one of the greatest poets in the history of China. Li Bai lived a wandering life all his life. He had talent but no opportunity to use it. He was very disappointed and resentful. He had to attain fun by drinking wine and writing poems. However, maybe we have to thank his miserable political life, or we will lose a great fortune in poetry.
