《召南·甘棠》
甘棠
蔽芾[1]甘棠，
勿翦勿伐，
召伯所茇[2]。
蔽芾甘棠，
勿翦勿败，
召伯所憩。
蔽芾甘棠，
勿翦勿拜，
召伯所说[3]。
茂盛的棠梨树，
不剪不砍它，
召伯曾停留在树下。
茂盛的棠梨树，
不剪不折它，
召伯曾歇息在树下。
茂盛的棠梨树，
不剪不弯它，
召伯曾住宿在树下。
注释：
[1] 蔽芾：茂盛。

[3] 说：通“税”，住宿，休息。
The Duke of Shao[1]
O leafy tree of pear!
Don't clip or make it bare,
For once our Duke lodged there.
O leafy tree of pear!
Don't break its branches bare,
For once our Duke rested there.
O leafy tree of pear!
Don't bend its branches bare,
For once our Duke halted there.
[1]The Duke of Shao was a principal adherent of King Wen. The love of the people for the memory of the Duke of Shao made them love the tree beneath which he had rested.
