碧玉妝成一树高，
万条垂下绿丝绦。
不知细叶谁裁出，
二月春风似剪刀。
译文：
高高的柳树长满了翠绿的新叶，轻柔的柳枝垂下来，就像万条轻轻飘动的绿色丝带。
细细的嫩叶是谁的巧手裁剪出来的？原来是那二月里温暖的春风，它就像一把灵巧的剪刀。
The Willow Tree
By Xu Yuanchong（许渊冲 译）
The slender1 tree is dressed in emerald2 all about；
Thousands of branches droop3 like fringes4 made of jade5.
But do you know by whom these slim leaves are cut out？
The wind of early spring is sharp as scissor6 blade7.
