柳宗元·《重别梦得》英译

二十年来万事同，今朝岐路忽西东。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

皇恩若许归田去，晚岁当为邻舍翁。

On Parting Again with Mengde

Liu Zongyuan

In the past twenty years we have shared weal and woe;

Now we must part with each other at the fork of the road.

If His Majesty allowed me to quit and go farming,

I would spend my remaining years as a next-door neighbor of yours.
