英訳
Although these flowers grow in secluded valleys,
They're our national scent, way beyond compare.
Who shall love them a thousand years from now?
Their cherished allure shall indeed arouse all men.
Line
two: "Our
national scent (國香)" can be used refer to both orchids and plums, but in
this instance the former is more likely the intended meaning.
Comment:
The orchid
may be intended as a metaphor for the fine upstanding servants of the nation
whose reputation will live after them and whose true worth will one day be
recognized, even if they live in relative obscurity now, like the flowers.
In SBK 57 - 1, below, the phrase "iris and orchid" (芝蘭) functions similarly
as a metaphor for human excellence, beauty, or honor.
