中英对照赏析|唐诗 HOME-COMING 回乡偶书二首

HOME-COMING
HE ZHIZHANG

I left home young and not till old do I come back,

Unchanged my accent, my hair no longer black.

My children whom I meet do not know who am I.

Where do you come from, sir? they ask with beaming eye.

Since I left my homeland so many years have passed;

So much has faded away and so little can last.

only in Mirror Lake before my oldened door

The vernal wind still ripples^{1 water as before.
回乡偶书二首
贺知章
少小离家老大回，乡音无改鬓毛衰。
儿童相见不相识，笑问客从什么地方来。
离别家乡岁月多，近来人事半销磨。
惟有门前镜湖水，春风不改旧时波。}
