两情若是久长时,又岂在朝朝暮暮 “两情若是久长时,又岂在朝朝暮暮。/ 兩情若是久長時,又豈在朝朝暮暮。If love between both sides can last for aye, why need they stay together night and day?”
但愿人长久,千里共婵娟 “但愿人长久,千里共婵娟。/但願人長久,千里共嬋娟。We wish each other a long life so as to share the beauty of this graceful moonlight, even though miles apart.”
一个和尚挑水喝,两个和尚抬水喝,三个和尚没水喝 “一个和尚挑水喝,两个和尚抬水喝,三个和尚没水喝。/ 一個和尚挑水喝,兩個和尚抬水喝。三個和尚沒水喝。One boy is a boy,two boys half a boy,three boys no boy.”
