绝句
杜甫
两个黄鹂鸣翠柳,
一行白鹭上青天。
窗含西岭千秋雪,
门泊东吴万里船。
Jue Ju
By Du Fu
Translated by Ken Fan
On fresh willows an oriole couple are singing,
Up in blue sky a line of silver egrets are soaring.
The West Mountain, forever in snow, falls into my window frame,
The boat, journey-weary from Southeast, idles at the front gate.

宅家
樊功生
流病三千例,
贫诗九万行。
无事随人乐,
有情自感伤。
Homebound

Translated by Ken Fan
Too many are sickened,
Even more are painful verses.
Amuse each other at leisure,
Grieve alone when saddened.

幽梦影
张潮
少年读书,如隙中窥月;
中年读书,如庭中望月;
老年读书,如台上玩月。
Dream Shadow
By Zhang Chao
Translated by Ken Fan
Reading is like gazing at the moon.
A child only gets a glimpse,
An adult finds it captivating,
Only a ripe old man discovers a companion.
