杜甫·《江村》英译

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" /> 

清江一曲抱村流，

长夏江村事事幽。

自去自来梁上燕，

相亲相近水中鸥。

老妻画纸为棋局，

稚子敲针作钓钩。

多病所需惟药物，

微躯此外更何求？

The Riverside Village

The winding clear river around the village flows;

We pass the long summer by riverside with ease.

The swallow freely comes in and freely out goes;

The gulls on water snuggle each other as they please.

My wife draws lines on paper to make a chessboard;

My son knocks a needle into a fishing hook.

Ill, I need only medicine I can afford.

What else do I want for myself in my humble nook?
