薛涛·《鹰离鞲》英译

爪利如锋眼似铃，平原捉兔称高情。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

无端窜向青云外，不得君王臂上擎。

A Hawk Separated from the Gauntlet

Xue Tao

Talons sharp as blade-point,

    eyes like bells,

To pounce on hares in the meadow

    suits its noble mood.

By accident it disappeared

    up beyond blue clouds,

No longer will it be lifted

upon the ruler’s arm.

（Stephen Owen 译）
