饮酒 
陶渊明
而无车马喧。
问君何能尔，
心远地自偏。
采菊东篱下，
悠然见南山。
山气日夕佳，
此中有真意，
欲辨已忘言。
Drinking wine
Tao Qian
－translated by Xu Yuanchong（许渊冲）
In people's haunt I build my cot;
Of wheel's and hoof's noise i hear not.
How can it leave on me no trace?
Secluded heart makes secluded place.
i pick fenceside asters at will;
Carefree i see the southern hill.
The mountain air's fresh day and night;
Together birds go home in flight.
What revelation at this view?
Words fail if i try to tell you.
Drinking Wine
Tao Qian
I made my home amidst this human bustle,
Yet I hear no clamour from the carts and horses.饮酒 陶渊明
My friend, you ask me how this can be so?
A distant heart will tend towards like places.
From the eastern hedge, I pluck chrysanthemum flowers,
And idly look towards the southern hills.
The mountain air is beautiful day and night,
The birds fly back to roost with one another.
I know that this must have some deeper meaning,
I try to explain, but cannot find the words.
Drinking
Tao Qian
－translated by Yang Xianyi and Dai Naidie（杨宪益，戴乃迭）
Within the world of men I make my home,
Yet din of house and carriage there is none;
You ask me how this quiet is achieved－
With thoughts remote the place appears alone.
While picking asters'neath the Eastern fence
My gaze upon the Southern mountain rests;
The mountain views are good by day or night,
The birds come flying homeward to their nests.
A truth in this reflection lies concealed,
But I forget how it may be revealed.
