【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...

【诗经版】

                子言慕雨，启伞避之。

                子言好阳，寻荫拒之。

                子言喜风，阖户离之。

                子言偕老，吾所畏之。

【普通翻译版】

            你说你喜欢雨，

            但是下雨的时候你却撑开了伞；

            你说你喜欢阳光，

            但当阳光播撒的时候，

            你却躲在阴凉之地；

            你说你喜欢风，

            但清风扑面的时候，

            你却关上了窗户。

            我害怕你对我也是如此之爱。

【注】苏州的陆水门——盘门是罕见的陆水双重关卡，对防御和贸易至关重要，允许船只通过，同时由水闸控制。2001年第八届亚太经济合作组织(APEC)财长会议曾在这里举行。

2014年，作为保护大运河的盘门被联合国教科文组织纳入《世界遗产名录》。
