99赠献纳使起居田舍人澄

Presented to Tian Cheng, Petition Box Commissioner and Imperial Diarist[1] You carry out your duties for petitions[2] beside the “rain and dew,” its location, pure and close, employing talents and worthy men. The Diarist declines his meals and receives sealed submissions; palace women open the cases and bring them to the imperial seat. With morning’s waterclock you rush after others to the blue chain-patterned gate, in a sunlit window you check over white-cloud writings. Again a Yang Xiong has a “Hedong Poetic Exposition”— waiting only for your praise on my behalf to send it up to Heaven. 单词释义 [1] diarist [ˈdaɪərɪst] n. 日记作者; 日志记载者; [2] petition [pəˈtɪʃn] n. 请愿书; 申诉书; 申请书; 祈祷; 祈求;
