秋瑾·《对酒》英译

不惜千金买宝刀，

貂裘换酒也堪豪。

一腔热血勤珍重，

洒去犹能化碧涛。

Before Wine

Qiu Jin

Grudge not paying a thousand pieces of gold for a treasured sword;

Exchanging a mink coat for wine, you may as well feel proud.

True patriots do not rashly shed their blood,

Which, when spilt, should turn into billows of great power.
