倒裳往自开。
问子为谁欤？
I got up and opened the door, half-dressed. I asked him who he was and why he came;
田父有好怀。
壶浆远见候，
The farmer came because he knew my name. He brought wine from afar and voiced the word
疑我与时乖。
“缊缕茅檐下，
That he had thought I was a bit absurd. It’s not the right way of a true recluse.
未足为高栖。
一世皆尚同，
Since all the world is drifting with the tide, I hope you will at last stand on their side.”
“深感父老言，
禀气寡所谐。
But it’s against my will to go their way. Although I could reform my life by force,
纡辔诚可学，
违已讵非迷！且共欢此饮，
I might thus go astray in my life course. Let’s forget about it and have a drink, But I will never change my mind, I think.”
