秋瑾·《咏燕》英译

飞向花间两翅翔， <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

燕儿何用苦奔忙？

谢王不是无茅屋，

偏向虏家亦玳瑁！

On Swallows

Qiu Jin

Flying towards flowers, flapping their wings,

Why do they hustle and bustle like this?

Wangs and Xies have their thatched cottages.

Why must these birds take to the Lus’ hawk-turtle beams!
