网上流传一首英文小诗:

You say that you love rain,

but you open your umbrella when it rains.

(你说你爱雨，但当细雨飘洒时你却撑开了伞；)

You say that you love the sun,

but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines.

(你说你爱太阳，但当日照当空时你却往荫凉处躲；)

You say that you love the wind,

but you close your windows when wind blows.

(你说你爱风，但当它轻拂时你却紧掩自己的窗扉；)

This is why I am afraid, when you say that you love me too.

(所以当你说你也爱我，我却会为此而担忧。)

这是我的译文，把一首现代诗歌翻译成古典诗词:

南乡子 · 风中期待的那场花事

       文/戴洪涛

          细雨润烟杨，阡陌如酥小试妆，熏软恨长红湿地。惶惶，尤怕痴心断绿窗。

         君悦是阳光，怎奈垂衫纳嫩凉。独裹暮风昏已半。横塘，你却欺春伞几行。
