路旁野店兩三家，清曉無湯況有茶。

　　道是渠儂不好事，青瓷瓶插紫薇花。

　　an inn at the roadside

　　--yang wanli

　　This road leading from town

　　two or three inns beside it

　　you can’t get hot water

　　early in the morning

　　let alone tea here

　　the owner of this inn

　　doesn’t attend to his business

　　you’d think that

　　wouldn’t you

　　well what about these

　　carpe myrtles

　　all the bright reds

　　and the blue

　　celadon ware vases

　　(王守義、約翰·諾弗爾 譯)
