孟郊游子吟英文翻译

  【原文】

  游子吟 / 迎母漂上作

  作者:孟郊

  慈母手中线,游子身上衣。

  临行密密缝,意恐迟迟归。

  谁言寸草心,报得三春晖。

  【英文版】

  A TRAVELER'S SONG

  The thread in the hands of a fond-hearted mother

  Makes clothes for the body of her wayward boy;

  Carefully she sews and thoroughly she mends,

  Dreading the delays that will keep him late from home.

  But how much love has the inch-long grass

  For three spring months of the light of the sun?
