薛涛·《酬人雨后玩竹》英译

南天春雨时，那鉴雪霜姿。

众类亦云茂，虚心宁自持。

多留晋贤醉，早伴舜妃悲。

晚岁君能赏，苍苍劲节奇。

A Poetic Gift for Someone Viewing Bamboos after Rain      

Xue Tao

In southern clime and spring rain times,

Who could see faces tried by snow?

One species, thriving amidst many,

Finds strength in true pudicity.

A shelter to drunken Jin worthies,

It shares the grief of Shun’s consorts.

In old age you appreciate

Its joints both hoary and sturdy.

（Anthony C. Yu 译）
