英文小詩 袁枚•《詠錢》
人生薪水尋常事，動輒煩君我亦愁。
解用何嘗非俊物，不談未必定清流。
空勞奼女千回數，屢見銅山一夕休。
擬把婆心向天奏，九州添設富民侯。
Money is spend in daily living,
Quite often it causes you and me to worry.
A proper use of it is really a good thing,
Not to talk of it is does not mean you’re holy.
Express Rongle(1) was fond of money counting,
A coins maker (2) in Mount Tong died of hunger.
It’s my good wish to God that I’m expressing,
All people could live a good life in China.
