93. The Last Rose of Summer 夏日里最后一朵玫瑰， 独自盛开的一个花魂； 骄艳的姊妹全都枯萎， 美丽的同伴尽皆凋零； 没有花朵相亲， 更无蓓蕾贴近； 哪有红颜把她的红颜反照， 何来叹息把她的叹息呼应！ 我不忍离你而去， 你这孤独的精灵； 百花都已进入梦境， 你却还在枝头独自伤心； 我怀着浓浓的柔情， 把你在花圃的落叶扫除干净； 在这里园中伙伴入尘土， 在这里群芳已经香消玉殒。 等到情意的花朵化为灰尘， 我就随后把你紧跟； 爱的光环耀眼， 只是花草一春； 当知音告别尘世， 当真爱已做古人； 呵！谁还会苟活人世， 去无尽地饱尝孤独、冷清。 Active reading 2: Resources Recite the translation of the song. 夏日里最后一朵玫瑰 吕志鲁译
