Men have sorrow and joy; they part or meet again;
The moon is bright or dim and she may wax or wane.
There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.
So let us wish that man
Will live long as he can!
Though miles apart， we'll share the beauty she displays.
—Prelude to Water Melody， Poet， Su Shi; Translator， Xu Yuanchong
人有悲欢离合，月有阴晴圆缺，此事古难全。
但愿人长久，千里共婵娟。
——《水调歌头》苏轼，诗人；许渊冲，译者
