庞德  （油画）

美国意象派诗人庞德（Pound）钟情中国古诗，并将很多翻译成了英文，他的口号是Make-It-New（日日新），录他翻译的一首中国古诗，并附上我国已故著名诗人和翻译家孙大雨先生的译文。

日出而作，  Sun up, work,                            Work at sunrise;

日入而息。  Sun down, to rest.                       Rest at sundown.

凿井而饮，  Dig well and drink of the water,         Dig well for drinking,

耕田而食。  Dig field, eat of the grain.             Till fields for eating.

帝力于我，  Imperial power is? And to us             Di’s power, though great；

何有哉？    What is it.                              What is it to me and us?
