《清明》
（唐）杜牧
清明时节雨纷纷,路上行人欲断魂.
借问酒家何处有?牧童遥指杏花村.
中文:清明这天毛毛雨,纷纷扬扬；
孤身赶路扫墓人,心境凄凉.
“请问哪里有酒店,借酒消愁?”
牧童笑笑指远方：“杏花村有!”
吴钧陶英译（韵式aaba)
It drizzles thick and fast on the Pure Brightness Day,
I travel with my heart lost in dismay.
"Is there a public house somewhere,cowboy?"
He points at Apricot Village faraway.

The rain falls thick and fast on All Souls' Day,
The men and women sadly move along the way.
They ask where wineshops can be found or where to rest ----
And there the herdboy's fingers Almond-Town suggest.

It drizzles endless during the rainy season in spring,
Travelers along the road look gloomy and miserable.
When I ask a shepherd boy where I can find a tavern,
He points at a distant hamlet nestling amidst apricot blossoms.
