The explanations in plain Chinese and English.

(1) 唉! 你們這次離別, 心中有什麼的感受呢?
What are you thinking as we are going to part from one another?
(2) 你們停下馬來, 我請你們喝杯酒, 順便問問你們被貶到什麼地方去.
Dismount from your horses as I am going to offer you a few cups of wine
and at the same time ask where are you being demoted to.
(3) 哦! 你被貶到峽中去啊! 那麼, 你聽到那淒涼的猿啼聲, 一定會掉下幾行眼淚
吧!
You are going to be demoted to Xiazhong where you can hear the apes weeping
in the valley that will make you shed tears.
4) 哦! 你被貶去長沙呀! 那麼, 當雁兒從衡陽北歸的時候, 你還可以讓它替你帶回
幾封家書哩!
Oh! you are being demoted to Changsha, then when the wildgeese returning
to the north from Hengyang you can ask them to carry news to your home.

(5) 湖南長沙附近有一條青楓江, 我想你在那裏, 常可以到江上望著遠遠的秋帆,
哪一天, 你也能乘著它回去.
There is a river called Green Maples near Changsha in Hunan and from there
you can see the boat sailing and you can imagine that you can take the boat
homeward bound when you are allow to go home.
(6) 而你呢! 在四川白帝城邊, 有一排蕭疏的古木, 也夠你在那裏徘徊沉思的吧!
For you, there is a row of old trees growing near the Walled city of White
God city in Sichuan and from there you can pace up and down thinking deeply
about yourself.
(7) 如今, 政治清明, 國君對臣下們很恩厚.
Nowadays, the politics are honest and upright and the Emperor is kind to
his officials.
(8) 暫時分手離別, 你們也就不必再猶疑了.
We will be separated temporary you don't have to be shilly-shally.

(*5E) 雨露

作法 The technique of writing

起聯總敘送別﹐中夾寫二人謫地﹐對仗工整。
