1.兵马俑

铁蹄踩过头顶

八百里急报

吹不响出征的号角

刀剑早己生锈

战车深陷历史的泥潭

这支庞大的军队

丢下江山社稷

隐姓埋名

只为一个人守灵Terra Cotta Warriors

By WEI Yanlie

Iron hoofs trampling overhead

Even an urgent dispatch cannot sound

The trumpet for an expedition 

For swords have long rusted 

And chariots have been trapped in the quagmire of history

This grand army

Having put their rivers and mountains aside

Conceals their identity

And holds wakes only for a single dead monarch

Translated by  NI Qinghang

2.处暑

雨水为荷花卸装

落叶脱掉

最后一声蝉鸣

凉风夜夜偷袭

气温从手背凉到手心

稻子张口说露了

揣了大半年的谜底Limit of Heat

By WEI Yanlie

Rain has removed the makeup for lotuses

Falling leaves have taken off the last chirping of cicadas

Cool breezes engage themselves in sneak attacks night after night

Making coolness piercing through from handback to palm 

Paddies open their mouths 

And reveal an answer to the riddle they have harbored for over half a year

Translated by NI Qinghang

3.放生

我们可以放生

一条鱼，一只羊，一头牛

却不肯放过

一个人

诽谤，漫骂，算计

假疫苗，地沟油，毒奶粉

总有一把刀子

往死里捅Freeing Captive Animals

By WEI Yanlie

We are ready to free captive animals

Such as a sheep, a fish or a cow

Yet we are often reluctant to set free

A man

Slanders, curses, plots

Fake vaccines, ditch oil, poisoned milk powder

Are always like a dagger

By which to stab to death

Translated by NI Qinghang
