元明清诗歌汉译英赏析61：Song To The Lime石灰吟-于谦(中英双语)

(61) Song To The Lime

石灰吟

Yu Qian (1398-1457)

于谦

You come out of deep mountains after hammer blows;

千锤万凿出深山，

Under fire and water tortures you're not in woes.

烈火焚烧若等闲。

Though broken into pieces, you will have no fright;

粉骨碎身浑不怕，

You'll purify the world by washing it e'er white.

要留清白在人间。
