鶴鳴於九皋，聲聞於野。

魚潛在淵，或在於渚。

樂彼之園，爰有樹檀，其下維萚。

他山之石，可以為錯。

鶴鳴於九皋，聲聞於天。

魚在於渚，或潛在淵。

樂彼之園，爰有樹檀，其下維榖。

他山之石，可以攻玉。 

（選自小雅·鴻雁之什）

In the marsh sing a crane, 

And is heard all over the plain.

Fish swim in deep pond,

Approach the isle on occasion.

Make merry in the garden,

Some paorosa trees above,

And grass on the ground.

Fine stones on the mountain,

Best use for art pieces.

In the marsh sing a crane, 

And is heard all over the sky.

Fish swim by the isle,

And deep dive on occasion.

Make merry in the garden,

Some paorosa trees above,

And grain on the ground.

Fine stones on the mountain,

Best use for jade carving.
