The Golden Dress

金 缕 衣

[唐] 无名氏（许渊冲译）

Love not your golden dress, I pray,

More than your youthful golden hours.

Gather sweet blooms while you may,

And not the twig devoid of flowers!

劝君莫惜金缕衣，

劝君惜取少年时。

花开堪折直须折，

莫待无花空折枝。

[词汇] pray

v. 祈祷，祷告；渴望，祈望；祈求，恳求

adv.（用于询问或指示）请问，请

We have a beautiful city and we pray it stays that way.
