（古詩英譯）《歸家》– 杜牧

《歸家》– 杜牧

 

稚子牽衣問，歸來何太遲。

共誰爭歲月，贏得鬢邊絲。

 

Returning Home by Du Mu

 

Tugging at my sleeves, my boys cry,

“Wherefore home so late dost thou wend?”

For what and with whom I did vie?

My temples silvered in the end.

 

   V2.

Tugging at my sleeve, my boy cried,

“Wherefore home so late dost thou wend?”

Fie! for what and with whom I vied?

My temples silvered in the end.
