Seres (the silk-people) can finally read, in their own language, a full text translation of Vergil's Georgics, after more than two thousand years of its initial publication.

Trying to translate some #georgics of #virgil to Chinese, with rhymes.

continuo has leges aeternaque foedera certis
inposuit natura locis, quo tempore primum
Deucalion vacuum lapides iactavit in orbem,
unde homines nati, durum genus.

大自然对于它的每块领土，
都有永恒的法则与约束，
而当Deucalion第一次向着空旷的大陆，
掷出母神之骨，
人类，一个不屈的种族，
从此迈出他坚韧的脚步。
