陶渊明·《饮酒（其一）》英译

衰荣无定在，彼此更共之。

邵生瓜田中，宁似东陵时！

寒暑有代谢，人道每如兹。

达人解其会，逝将不复疑；

忽与一觞酒，日夕欢相持。

Wine-Drinking (No. 1)

Glory decay no fixed abiding

one and the other shared by turns

Master Shao in the melon patch

how ca one compare you to the old days in Tung

hot and cold displace each other

man's way for each is so

perceptive people once they discover

this truth will never return to illusion

but if they get a cup of wine

as the day darkens they seize it gladly

  (David Lattimore 译)
