王维·《送梓州李使君》英译

万壑树参天，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

千山响杜鹃。

山中一夜雨，

树杪百重泉。

汉女输橦布，

巴人讼芋田。

文翁翻教授，

不敢倚先贤。

Seeing Governor Li Off to His Post in Zizhou

It’s a land of mountains with towering trees,

Where cuckoos cry there’s “Nothing like home”;

A good night’s rain will add to these

A myriad of rills that the tree-tops comb!

There girls pay tree-flower cloth as tax,

And taro cases are brought to law.

Should patient education be lax?

Let’s think of Wen Weng in the days of yore.
