王维·《春中田园作》英译

屋中春鸠鸣，

村边杏花白。

持斧伐远扬，

荷锄觇泉脉。

归燕识故巢，

旧人看新历。

临觞忽不御，

惆怅远行客。

Springtide on the Farm

The turtledoves in the house are cooing;

The apricot deck the village with white,

The mulberries are pruned with axes bewing,

With hoes they sound for a fountain site.

The swallows back remember the men.

The new almanac is in old folks’ hands.

The cup is raised, but dropped again:

For those yet wandering in faraway lands!

（王宝童 译）
