张养浩·《水仙子》英译

中年才过便休官，
合共神仙一样看。
出门来山水相留恋，
倒大来耳根清眼界宽。
细寻思这的是真欢。
黄金带缠着忧患，
紫罗襕裹着祸端。
怎如俺藜杖藤冠？

Tune: Song of Daffodils

I am retired when I've just passed mid-age;
As paradise I look on my hermitage.
How lovely hills and rills outdoors appear!
There's nothing to offend the eye and ear.
It is true joy to think over and understand:
A golden belt may gird you with distress;
Woe may be hidden in violet official dress.
Why not wear a ratten cap, cane in hand?

（许渊冲 译）
