Original Script
1.
天高日月明이요
地厚草木生이라.
月出天開眼이요
山高地擧頭라.
3.
春來梨花白이요
夏至樹葉靑이라
秋涼黃菊發이요
冬寒白雪來라.
4.
日月千年鏡이요
江山萬古屛이라.
東西日月門이요
南北鴻雁路라.
Translation
Poem 1 : Olga
The sky is high; the sun and moon are bright.
The earth is thick; herbs and trees are born from it.
The moon rises - the sky opens its eye.
The mountains are tall - the land lifts its head.

Poem 3 : Ethan
Spring comes, pear tree flowers are white.
Summer arrives, tree leaves are green.
Fall is cool, yellow chrysanthemums bloom.
Winter is cold, white snow comes.
- Discussion Questions:
1. Should we include the particle the ? What about state of being verbs and the preposition when (i.e. "when spring comes...")? What effect does not including/including these words have? Which do you think is a closer approximation to the source text?
(YO) The issue of the definite article "the" is not easy. Native speakers generally have different opinions about using it. Not being a native speaker of English, I can't make a trustworthy judgment. (Can anybody jump in?) As for the conjunctive "when," you're right, the original text does not have it in the literal sense. So, you may have to ask yourself, which--adding it or not, or adding something else--would render the line better.
2. What are your thoughts on word choice in differentiating verbs––來 vs. 至 in first couplet and 涼 vs. 寒 in second couplet––particularly in terms of parallel structure of the two couplets? </br>
(YO) I'd look for a pair of words that hold similar kind of synonymy between them, so that it would convey a comparable variation.
