张谓·《题长安壁主人》英译

世人结交须黄金，黄金不多交不深。 <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

纵令然诺暂相许，终是悠悠行路心。

An Inscription on the Host of Chang’an Wall

By Zhang Wei

Making friends needs gold in this cold world.

In return you get colder friendship if you offer less gold.

Though one has made temporary verbal promises,

His heart remains as cold as an alien stranger’s.

（唐一鹤 译）
