The setting sun shines on left and right,
Green mountains hold past and present.
Over the lake white egrets fly in delight,
The dusty heart's cleansed by lotus scent.
Gaps between rich and poor drastically widen,
Just like ice and fire would never get together.
O friend, don't sigh in vain for what'll happen,
You would better become a happy winebibber!
the colors of youth
how flowery and gorgeous
the songs of years
how joyful and clangorous
in colorful dreams and pure friendship
we wove beautiful melodies of life
in numerous books and lovely nature
we sucked delicacy of heaven and earth
on top of the solemn Zhongshan Cemetery
we enjoyed a panoramic view of Jinling City
with so many lofty sentiments of youth ignited
on banks of the rippling Xuanwu Lake
we laughed along with poppling waves
with so many sweet poetic charms inspired
never out of season is Ouyang Xiu's beautiful essay
out of great admiration we climbed Lang Ya Mountain
we raised our wineglasses in Old Drunkard's Pavillion
with thoughts about ancient times fluttering in the wind
the mist covered the willow banks of Thin West Lake
the maple leaves turned the whole Qixia Mountain red
Li Bai's statue of catching river moon erected on Cai Shi Ji
here and there we left so many delightful footprints
the impassioned, brave stance deserves appreciation
just like a mountain spring rushing forward songfully
never stopping its joyful steps until it reaches the sea
we firmly believe the future must belong to the young
with our strong wills we can conquer all difficulties
with optimistic hearts we can hold the whole world
at this moment, we have to wave good-bye
the beautiful past has turned into memory
a gust of sadness sweeps over our hearts
then, we will be far apart from each other
and try hard to develop our beautiful future
but our hearts are linked by endless yearning

注释：
1、箴言传千古。 A good maxim is never out of season. 因此，把"欧公美文传千古"改译为"Ouyang Xiu's beautiful essay is never out of season"。
2、禁不住愤怒涌上心头。The anger swept over him. 因此，把"禁不住一阵伤感涌上心头"改译为"A hint of sadness is sweeping over our hearts"。（一阵伤感袭上心头。）
You're married, alas, my love burns in vain;
Why did we not meet when you were single?
This life the lovesickness drowns me in pain,
Let us enjoy sweet love in the next life cycle.
in pretty spring light
I stretch my body
bringing the green hope
to dream-seeking youths
in dreary autumn wind
I wither my face
devoting my light warmth
to lonely souls in cold nights
The reform is so tough on such a long way,
When will our dark dictatorship pass away?
How can we have democracy as the stand
To reduce servile faces on the Divine Land?
