    Love Seeds

     

     

    The red bean grows in southern lands,

     

     

    With spring its slender tendrils twine.

     

     

    Gather for me some more, I pray,

     

     

    Of fond remembrance ‘tis sign.

     

     Wang Wei

    (Ts. W.J.B. Fletcher)

    注释:

    红豆:又名相思子,一种生在江南地区的植物,结出的籽象豌豆而稍扁,呈鲜红色。

    Red beans are commonly used in Chinese cuisine, and they represent the remembrance of lovers and friends.

     

    采撷:采摘。

    v. to pick, to pluck

     

    相思:想念。

    n. lovesickness, miss
