I want to compare the West Lake to the West Lake, but how to translate it?

This is a poem praising the beauty of the West Lake, and also a poem about scenery, written during the poet's tenure as the general judge of Hangzhou. There are two original poems, and this is the second one.

The first line of the poem, "The water is brimming and clear," describes the water of the West Lake on a sunny day: under the brilliant sunlight, the water of the West Lake is rippling and glittering, which is very beautiful. The second line "mountain color is also strange rain" describes the rainy day mountain color: under the rain curtain, the mountains around the West Lake, confused, if any, very wonderful. From the title can be learned, this day the poet in the West Lake tour feast, at first sunny, then rain. In the eyes of the poet who is good at appreciating the beauty of nature, the sunny and rainy state of the West Lake is beautiful and marvelous. The poet's praise for the beauty of the West Lake is that "the sunny side is good" and "the rain is also strange".

"To compare the West Lake to Xizi, light makeup and thick smear is always appropriate" two lines, the poet with a clever and apt metaphor, wrote the charm of the West Lake. The reason why the poet took Xi Shi than the West Lake, not only because they are in the same place, the same "West" word, the same graceful feminine beauty, more importantly, they have a natural beauty, without the use of external objects, do not have to rely on man-made modifications, at any time can show the beauty of the style. No matter whether Xi Shi is heavily powdered or lightly drawn, she is always graceful; no matter whether the West Lake is sunny or rainy, it is wonderful and mesmerizing. This metaphor is recognized by later generations, since then, "Xizihu" has become the West Lake nickname. The two are located in the same region of Wu-Yue, so this metaphor is used.

Under the sunlight on a sunny day, the water of the West Lake ripples and shimmers with sparkling golden light. The scenery is beautiful; in cloudy and rainy weather, the mountains are misty in the drizzle, and there is a peculiar beauty. If you want to compare the West Lake to the beauty Xishi, then the sunny West Lake is like a heavily made-up Xishi, and the rainy day West Lake is like a lightly made-up Xishi, are the same beautiful and incomparable.
