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。
