孟郊·《登科后》英译

昔日龌龊不足夸，

今朝放荡思无涯。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

春风得意马蹄疾，

一日看尽长安花。

Upon Passing the Imperial Examinations

Meng Jiao

Yesterday’s wretched misery nothing to brag about;

Unbodied with joy this morn, my thoughts run free.

Pleased with the vernal breeze and my swift trotting steed;

Ere the day’s done, we’ve all the Chang’an flowers seen.
