A Pair of Yellow Orioles 兩個黃鸝


A pair of yellow orioles

sing in the emerald willow,

A line of white egrets

ascends to the azure sky,

My window holds

the ever snow-capped West Range,

My door anchors

the 10,000-league ships of East Wu


Tu Fu (712-770)



兩個黃鸝鳴翠柳,

一行白鷺上青天.

窗含西嶺千秋雪,

門泊東吳萬里船.


杜甫 (712-770)
