诗词《广州王园寺伏日即事寄北中亲友》的中文译文为:
南越逢初伏,
Southern Yue (ancient name for Guangzhou) is now experiencing the beginning of summer heat,
东林度一朝。
As the eastern forest passes through a day (a metaphor for time passing).
曲池煎畏景,
The pond water ripples in the intimidating scenery,
高阁绝微飙。
The tall pavilion blocks the gentle breeze.
竹簟移先洒,
The bamboo mats are moved to catch the first sprinkle;
蒲葵破复摇。
The papyrus curtains are torn and swayed.
地偏毛瘴近,
The damp and muggy air is close to the earth,
山毒火威饶。
With poisonous smoke from the mountains in abundance.
裛汗絺如濯,
Sweat soaks through the shirt like being washed;
亲床枕并烧。
Even the pillow on the bed is scorched.
堕枝伤翠羽,
Falling branches injure the emerald feathers;
萎叶惜红蕉。
Withered leaves lament the loss of red bananas.
且困流金炽,
Helplessly trapped in the scorching heat,
难成独酌谣。
Difficult to compose a drinking song alone.
望霖窥润础,
Looking forward to the rain for moistening the foundation,
思吹候纤条。
Longing for the breeze to greet the slender branches.
旅恨生乌浒,
The sorrow of being a traveler arises from the sweltering heat,
乡心系浴桥。
The homesickness is tied to the bridge of the bath.
谁怜在炎客,
Who will sympathize with the guests in this scorching weather,
一夕壮容销。
Whose vibrant appearance will fade in just one night.
