《送別》 趙嘏
去日家無(wú)儋石儲(chǔ),汝須勤若事樵漁。
古人盡向塵中遠(yuǎn),白日耕田夜讀書(shū)。
Farewell Speech
Zhao Gu
Now you leave home, we have but a few litres of grain,
You can earn a fisher’s wages or follow a woodman’s way.
Young people of yore, when going out to learn, would fain
Burn the midnight oil and till the fields in the day.
