回乡偶书[1]

笑问客从何处来。

[3]鬓毛衰：头发胡须变得稀疏；鬓毛：靠近耳朵的头发。
Home-Coming(I)
He Zhizhang
I left home young and not till old do I come back,
Unchanged my accent,my hair no longer black.
My children whom I meet do not know who am I.
“Where do you come from,sir?”they ask with beaming eye.
回乡偶书
（二首其二）
[唐]贺知章
离别家乡岁月多，
近来人事半消磨[1]。
惟有门前镜湖[2]水，
春风不改旧时波。
注释：
[1]消磨：逐渐消失。
[2]镜湖：位于浙江绍兴会稽山的北麓的湖泊，贺知章故乡在其旁边。
Home-Coming(II)
He Zhizhang
Since I left my homeland so many years have passed;
So much has faded away and so little can last.
Only in Mirror Lake before my oldened door,
The vernal wind still ripples water as before.
