苏轼·《陈季常所蓄<朱陈村嫁娶图>》英译

我是朱陈旧使君，劝农曾入杏花村。
而今风物那堪画，县吏催租夜打门。

On Seeing a Picture of the Wedding Customs of Zhuchen Village Kept by Chen Jichang

Su Shi

I was once an official overseeing this village of Zhus and Chens,

Which impressed me with its apricot flowers during my tours of inspection.

But now how can this place be painted with such grace,

When officials thump doors in the night for money!
