送杜少府之任蜀州

王勃

城阙辅三秦， 风烟望五津。

与君离别意， 同是宦游人。

海内存知己， 天涯若比邻。

无为在歧路， 儿女共沾巾。

　

farewell to vice-prefect du setting out for his official post in shu

wang bo

by this wall that surrounds the three qin districts,

through a mist that makes five rivers one,

we bid each other a sad farewell,

we two officials going opposite ways....

and yet, while china holds our friendship,
