【You say…】

        You say that you love rain,

          But you open your umbrella when it rains...

          You say that you love the sun,

          but you find a shadow spot when the sun shines...

          You say that you love the wind,

          But you close your windows when the wind blows...

          This is why I am afraid;

          You say that you love me too...

【詩經版】

                子言慕雨，啟傘避之。

                子言好陽，尋蔭拒之。

                子言喜風，闔戶離之。

                子言偕老，吾所畏之。

【普通翻譯版】

            你說你喜歡雨，

            但是下雨的時候你卻撐開了傘；

            你說你喜歡陽光，

            但當陽光播撒的時候，

            你卻躲在陰涼之地；

            你說你喜歡風，

            但清風撲面的時候，

            你卻關上了窗戶。

            我害怕你對我也是如此之愛。

【注】蘇州的陸水門——盤門是罕見的陸水雙重關卡，對防禦和貿易至關重要，允許船隻通過，同時由水閘控制。2001年第八屆亞太經濟合作組織(APEC)財長會議曾在這裡舉行。

2014年，作為保護大運河的盤門被聯合國教科文組織納入《世界遺產名錄》。
