吴弘道·《金字经·咏渊明》英译

晋时陶元亮，

自负经济才。.

耻为彭泽一县宰。

栽，绕篱黄菊开。

传千载，

赋一篇《归去来》。

Ode to Tao Yuanming

To the Tune of the Gold Character Classics

Wu Hongdao

Tao Yuanming in the Jin Dynasty is the great,

Proud of his talent to govern the state.

Ashamed to be the Pengze County magistrate.

Resigned and built a chrysanthemum fence around his gate.

“Ode to Returning Home after Resignation,”

A poetic masterpiece handed down from generation to generation.
