古詩：鳧鷖 中英對照

The wild-ducks and widgeons are on the King ；

The personators of your ancestors feast and are happy .

Your spirits are clear ，

Your viands are fragrant ；

The personators of your ancestors feast and drink ； ——

Their happiness and dignity are made complete .

The wild-ducks and widgeons are on the sand ；

The personators of the dead enjoy the feast ， their appropriate tribute .

Your spirits are abundant ，

Your viands are good ；

The personators of your ancestors feast and drink ； ——

Happiness and dignity lend them their aids .

The wild ducks and widgeons are on the islets ；

The personators of your ancestors feast and enjoy themselves .

Your spirits are strained ，

Your viands are in slices ；

The personators of your ancestors feast and drink ； ——

Happiness and dignity descend on them .

The wild ducks and widgeons are where the waters meet ；

The personators of your ancestors feast ， and are honoured .

The feast is spread in the ancestral temple ，

The place where happiness and dignity descend .

The personators of your ancestors feast and drink ； ——

Their happiness and dignity are at the highest point .

The wild ducks and widgeons are in the gorge ；

The personators of your ancestors rest ， full of complacency .

Your fine spirits are delicious ，

Your flesh ， roast and broiled ， is fragrant ；

The personators of your ancestors feast and drink ； ——

No troubles shall be theirs after this .
