（漢詩英譯）七絕·故鄉 – 孟朝崗

七絕·故鄉 – 孟朝崗

 

少小離家世情薄，故鄉人事幾寥落。

獨惟簷下舊玄禽，迎我歸來聲似昨。

 

A Quatrain by Meng Chaogang

(My Hometown)

 

Too young to care, I left my kith and kin behind,

So, few familiar faces linger in my mind.

Upon returning, under the eaves of my home,

Only warm welcome of swallows unchanged I find.
