薛涛·《鱼离池》英译

跳跃深池四五秋，常摇朱尾弄纶钩。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

无端摆断芙蓉朵，不得清波更一游。

A Fish Separated from Its Pool

Xue Tao

In the lotus pond for four or five years

    it has leapt playfully,

Always waving its crimson tail,

    it sports with fishing lines.

By accident it bumped and broke

    a blossom of the lotus,

Now no more can it swim about

    through the clear waves.

（Stephen Owen 译）
