<蚊子知道>
蚊子知道得很清楚，小虽小
他可是只食肉兽。
但毕竟
他只取一满腹，
并没把我的血存入银行。
THE MOSQUITO KNOWS
The mosquito knows full well, small as he is
he's a beast of prey.
But after all
he only takes his bellyful,
he doesn't put my blood in the bank.
[简析] 比起人类来，身为食肉兽的蚊子并不贪婪，弱水三千，它只取一瓢饮。诗里使用现代商业社会的“银行”这字眼，让我们想起了那些便便大腹的“大款”们，以及他们永远满足不了的大胃口。
