古诗：黍苗 中英对照

芃芃黍苗、阴雨膏之。

悠悠南行、召伯劳之。

我任我辇、我车我牛。

我行既集、盖云归哉。

我徒我御、我师我旅。

我行既集、盖云归处。

肃肃谢功、召伯营之。

烈烈征师、召伯成之。

原隰既平、泉流既清。

召伯有成、王心则宁。

Tall and strong grows the young millet ，

Fattened by the genial rains .

Very long was our journey to the south ，

But the earl of Zhou encouraged and cheered us .

We carried our burdens ； we pushed along our barrows ；

We drove our waggons ； we led our oxen .

When our expedition was accomplished ，

We knew we should return .

We went along on foot ； we rode in our chariots ； ——

Our whole host ， and our battalions .

When our expedition was accomplished ，

We knew we should return home .

Severe was the work at Su ，

But the earl of Zhou built the city .

Majestic was the march of our host ； ——

The earl of Zhou directed it .

The plains and low lands were regulated ； ——

The springs and streams were cleared .

The earl of Zhou completed his work ，

And the heart of the king was at rest .
