試譯《短歌行》第一段：

  對酒當歌，人生幾何？譬如朝露，去日苦多。 慨當以慷，憂思難忘。何以解憂？惟有杜康 -

Drinking must be with music.

Who knows what will happen tomorrow?

Same as the morning dew,

dry out under the sun rising soon.

My heart can contain entire universe.

Worrisome; however, occupy my mind.

How to be out of this obsession?

Being drunk!
