古詩:思文 中英對照

字號:

O accomplished Hou-ji ,
    Thou didst prove thyself the correlate of Heaven ;
    Thou didst give grain-food to our multitudes ; ——
    The immense gift of thy goodness .
    Thou didst confer on us the wheat and the barley ,
    Which God appointed for the nourishment of all ;
    And without distinction of territory or boundary ,
    The rules of social duty were diffused throughout these great regions .

    思文后稷、克配彼天、立我烝民、莫匪爾極。
    貽我來牟、帝命率育。
    無比疆爾界、陳常于時夏。
