第11章 Stopping at a Friend’s Farm

Meng Haoran

Preparing me chicken and rice， old friend，

You entertain① me at your farm.

We watch the green trees that circle your village

And the pale blue of outlying mountains.

We open your window over garden and field，

To talk mulberry② and hemp③ with our cups in our hands.

Wait till the Mountain Holiday—

I am coming again in chrysanthemum time.

① entertainvt. 招待，款待 vi. 款待，请客

② mulberryn. 桑树； 桑椹

③ hempn. 【植】大麻，麻类植物； 大麻纤维

过故人庄

孟浩然

故人具鸡黍，

邀我至田家。

绿树村边合，

青山郭外斜。

开轩面场圃，

把酒话桑麻。

待到重阳日，

还来就菊花。
