蘇世獨立，橫而不流兮。
閉心自慎，不終失過兮。
秉德無私，參天地兮。
願歲并謝，與長友兮。
淑離不淫，梗其有理兮。
年歲雖少，可師長兮。
行比伯夷，置以為像兮。
人文纪录片《屈原》第一集 橘颂

▌ In Praise of the Orange-Tree
Translated by David Hawkes
Orange tree, nurtured by nature,
Born to be adaptable to the soil and water here.
Since you were given the mission of not to immigrate,
You’ll live forever in this southern state.
So deeply rooted, to nowhere else you could be driven,
You’re constantly firm in your determination
Your leaves green and flowers clean,
So delightful is the riotous profusion.
Even though between layers of leaves there are thorns,
The fruits are so beautiful and round.
The green and yellow ones in fine contrast,
Such color looks like rosy cloud.
Your outer color distinct, you’re purely white inside,
You are just like a gentleman who can be entrusted with a big task.
Being natural and unrestrained,
Your beauty is refined.
I admire you, orange tree in southern state
You made up your mind so early, you are unique.
You refuse to move away, you’re independent,
Such strong will is pleasing and pleasant.
So deeply rooted, to nowhere else you could be driven,
You’ve no lust; your mind is so broadly open.
You’re sober and remote from dirt
Never yield to vulgarity, even though you’re free in action.
You’re so prudent, keeping your heart clean,
You committed no mistakes, no sin.
Your unselfish values,
Can be matched with the earth and heaven.
I wish in the cold spell when all flowers withered,
Be your firm and life-long friend.
You’re kind-hearted and disciplined,
With clear veins, your body is so straight.
Though you’re still young,
You can be a teacher I look upon.
Your behavior is good as that of Bo Yi
An example for me to follow for long.
