At eastern gate we could / Steep hemp in river long.
O maiden fair and good, / To you I'll sing a song.
At eastern gate we could / Steep nettle in the creek.
彼美淑姬，可与晤语。
东门之池，可以沤菅。
彼美淑姬，可与晤言。
许渊冲
O maiden fair and good, / To you I wish to speak.
At eastern gate we could / Steep in the moat rush-rope.
O maiden fair and good, / On you I hang my hope.
