秦大川英译：黄庭坚（宋）《牧童诗》
骑牛远远过前村，
短笛横吹隔陇闻。
多少长安名利客，
机关用尽不如君。
A Poem for a Cowherd
Boy
By Huang Tingjian
Tr. Qin Dachuan
You cow-mounted boy far ahead
in th’rural view,
From across the field I can
hear your bamboo flute.
The rich and the famous from
Capital Chang’an,
For all their tricks, are
rather poor creatures to you.
