毛泽东·《七律·读报有感（1959）》英译

闹群蛙

反苏忆昔闹群蛙，喜看今日大反华。

恶煞腐心兴鼓吹，凶神张口吐烟霞。

神州岂止千里恶，赤县原藏万里邪。

遍寻全球侵略者，惟余此地一孤家。

Frogs Croaking

1959

Having the past anti-Soviet clamor like frogs croaking in reflection,

I’m glad to see the present anti-China commotion.

The fiends rack their brains to raise a hubbub for propaganda,

And the devils open their mouths to vomit mist and clouds in the even.

The vices in the Divine Land over no less than one thousand Li,

And originally in the Red County then thousand kinds of evils are hidden.

After a global search for aggressors,

There remains only one oligarchic sovereign.
