张耒·《田家》英译

门外青流系野船，白杨红槿短篱边。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

旱蝗千里秋田净，野秫萧萧八月天。

A Farm Cottage

Zhang Lei

In the river, before the door, a deserted boast is moored;

Poplars and althaeas stand by a hedge low and short.

Drought and locusts have cleared the autumn farmland a thousand li across;

In a month for reaping, only wild sorghum remains, forlorn and shivering.
