柳宗元·《与浩初上人同看山寄京华亲故》英译

海畔尖山似剑芒，秋来处处割愁肠。 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

若为化得身千亿，散向峰头望故乡。

A Poem to Send to Friends in the Capital

Liu Zongyuan

Mountains by the seaside—sharp pointed swords:

when autumn comes, wherever I look, they stab my grieving heart.

If I could change into a million selves,

I’d send one to climb each peak and gaze far off toward home.
