吴弘道·《拨不断·闲乐（二）》英译

利名无，

宦情疏，

彭泽升头微官禄。

蠹鱼食残架上书。

晓霜荒尽篱边菊。

罢官归去。

Leisure and Pleasure

II

Careless of gain and fame,

To rank I lay no claim.

Poet Tao would not in official work be lost,

Nor let bookworms eat holes in his books,

Nor his chrysanthemums be bitten by frost,

He returned to his nooks.
