『回鄉偶書』 賀知章(唐,655-744 年)
少小離家老大回, 鄉音無改鬢毛衰。
兒童相見不相識,笑問客從何處來?
Returning Home by Zhizhang He (Tang Dynasty, 659-744)
Left home young but returned old;
My accent remains the same but my hair’s on the wane.
Children greeted me but knew me not;
With a giggle, they asked me where I was from.
背景故事: 我從小就離開了家鄉,到了年老的時候才回來;雖然家鄉
口音沒有改變,但兩旁頭髮都已經變白了。家鄉的小朋友不認識我,
笑著問我:『客人,你是從哪裡來的?』
