W. B. Yeats - Imitated from the Japanese 汉译

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

Seventy years have I lived;

(Hurrah for the flowers of Spring

For Spring is here again.)

Seventy years have I lived

No ragged beggar man,

Seventy years have I lived,

Seventy years man and boy,

And never have I danced for joy.

仿日本诗

威廉·巴特勒·叶芝

令人稀奇一件事：

我已活了七十年；

（欢呼春天繁花开，

因为春天又来临。）

我已活了七十年，

没做褴褛讨饭人；

七十年来少与老，

从未欢乐而舞蹈。
