Translation

Sentence 36 : (Althea Volpe)


During the third month [of the year], in the south of the river, flowers blossom everywhere; in the villages [near] the water and the outer parts of the cities [near] the mountains the wind makes the flags flutter. Many visitors and travelers look for the village where the apricot flower blooms.

Sentence 37 : (Write your name)


  • Discussion Questions:


Sentence 38 : Julian Butterfield


Morning rain in Weicheng, spring wind in Zhangtai,[1] Many branches of hanging thread, many leaves of tender gold. Soldiers' wives tense with resentment, and drifters sway their passions.

  • Discussion Questions:
  1. I find the tone of this poem really interesting, and tried my best to maintain a degree of ambivalence in the translation (especially in the final two clauses). That said, I'm really curious to know how others interpret tone, both here and elsewhere in our materials. Any comments??

Sentence 39 : Julian Butterfield


Born in deep valleys, their fragrance is cast far. Men of virtue love them. For this reason it is said, people of like mind smell [to one another] like orchids—like entering a room of irises and orchids.[2]

  • Discussion Questions:
  1. Is it that people of like mind smell to each other like orchids, or have I misconstrued this?

Sentence 40 : Julian Butterfield


In general, the blooming of flowers is once a year and not more. Just this flower alone, with the ends of spring, summer, fall, and winter, blooms each time. For this reason, it is called the four-season flower.[3]

  • Discussion Questions:
  1. I dropped the second 發 here in my translation for the sake of elegance. Have I missed anything/corrupted the text at all by doing so?
