Drinking Wine

Tao Yuanming

Though my house stands in a man’s world,

I hear no horse trots¹, carts rumble².

Wonder how this is possible?

A carefree heart keeps noise muffled³

Picking asters by the east fence,

The south hill I leisurely⁴ glimpse.

At sunset the hill looks so fair,

A flock of birds flies home in pairs.

These are pregnant with the life’s truth,

But words fail me before I share.

饮酒

陶渊明

结庐在人境，

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，

飞鸟相与还。

此中有真意，

欲辨已忘言。
