Farewell to Prefect Du

送杜少府之任蜀州

[唐] 王勃（许渊冲译）

You’ll leave the town walled far and wide

For mist-veiled land by riverside.

I feel on parting sad and drear

For both of us are strangers here.

If you have friends who know your heart,

Distance cannot keep you apart.

At crossroads where we bid adieu,

Do not shed tears as women do!

城阙辅三秦，

风烟望五津。

与君离别意。

同是宦游人。

海内存知已，

天涯若比邻。

无为在歧路，

儿女共沾巾。

[词汇] prefect

n. 长官，地方行政长官；级长

This is fine work for a prefect.

对于军官这真是个好工作。
