谨以此书

献给英国斯特灵大学

献给支持我翻译彭斯诗歌的朋友们

如斯特克莱德大学的道格拉斯·布罗迪、斯特灵大学的理查·奥勒姆

和格拉斯哥大学的杰勒德·卡拉瑟斯

I dedicate this book to

University of Stirling in the United Kingdom.

I dedicate this book also to my friends who encouraged me to translate Burns

such as Douglas Brodie at University of Strathclyde, Richard Oram

at University of Stirling and Gerard Carruthers at University of Glasgow.
