The poem is a way of holding on to what otherwise would be lost.
诗歌是一种留住本会消逝之物的方式。
译文：明年的今天，你一定能登上青云高处(指金榜题名)，到那时再笑看人间举子们为功名忙碌奔波的样子吧。
To write is to resist. To resist is to write.
译文：在平淡中交往的朋友，往往能长久维持；在平静安稳的环境生活，往往会延年益寿。赏析：君子之交淡如水。真正的朋友是看重对方的人品才交往的。清净养生，喧嚣伤身。安静的生活环境，平和的处事心态，方能益寿延年。
The city's poor are like the roots of a tree: unseen, but essential to its survival.
