〈詩經‧國風‧衞‧河廣〉
誰謂河廣？一葦杭之。誰謂宋遠？跂予望之。 誰謂河廣？曾不容刀。誰謂宋遠？曾不崇朝。
誰說黃河寬又廣？ 一只葦筏可渡航。 誰說宋國路遙遠？ 蹄起腳尖可眺望。 誰說黃河寬又廣？ 一條小船容不下。 誰說宋國路遙遠？ 一個上午可走到。 (摘自 維基文庫，詩經/河廣)
Yellow River
Is Yellow River that wide? A reed boat can cross. Is Song Nation far away? One can overlook it on tiptoe.
Is Yellow River that wide? It can hardly hold a small blade of boat. Is Song Nation far away? One can reach there in a morning.
