Chrysanthemum

菊 花

[唐] 元稹（许渊冲译）

Around the cottage like Tao’s autumn flowers grow;

Along the hedge I stroll until the sun slants low.

Not that I favor partially the chrysanthemum,

But it is the last flower after which none will bloom.

秋丛绕舍似陶家，

遍绕篱边日渐斜。

不是花中偏爱菊，

此花开尽更无花。

[词汇] favor

v. 较喜欢；偏袒；有利于；（非正式）长得像；悉心照料

n. 帮助；提拔；徽章；赞同；偏袒

It remains to be seen if the show will find favor with an audience.

这场演出是否将获得观众喜爱还要拭目以待。
