鸟
白居易
谁道群生性命微？一般骨肉一般皮。
劝君莫打枝头鸟，子在巢中望母归。
Who said their lives are cheap and low?
They are given the bone and skin also.
Please never ever shoot any bird on tree,
The babies in nest long for homing mummy.
V2.
Who said those lives are pretty insignificant?
They are given the same bone and skin also.
Please never shoot bird on twigs high or low,
For the homing mum is expected this instant.
《无心剑版本》
Who say creatures are petty and low?
The same bones and skins they grow.
O never shoot at the bird on the tree,
Homing mum her babies long to see!
《铁冰版本》
Who should say little creatures are petty and low?
Having bones and skins, in same way they grow.
Never shoot at a bird in the tree and in rest,
For her the babies are stll longing in the nest!
《普敬天下人版本》
Who say living creatures are mean and low?
They are given the same blood and soul.
Please never shoot any bird in the tree ,
Their babies expect mummy return and see .
《醉云版本》
Who says petty these lives have been?  
They’re given the same bone and skin.
Please don’t kill the bird on the bough,
For her babies in nest are waiting now.

For her the babies are stll longing in the nest!

原文：一般骨肉一般皮
自娱自乐译文V1：They are given the bone and skin also
铁冰译文：Having bones and skins, in same way they grow.
不同的生物不可能拥有the same bone and skin。因此这一句只有上面这两个译文是正确的。

呵呵呵，专家之言，一锤定音。呵呵呵

铁皇上，你这是在钻牛角尖。从广义上来讲，都叫骨，都为皮。:P
牛皮，猪皮，不都叫皮吗？:D
