Translation:
In the early morning I went into the mountains to gather firewood and in the evening I returned home carrying the firewood. I put down my burden and listened to my youngest son tell me in detail: today there was a visitor who knocked on our door. The attendants accompanying the visitor wore precious pearls and jade and they rode on fat horses galloping like clouds. The luxurious carriage illuminated the village and the bearers held auspicious symbols shining brightly for the passersby. I guessed that the visitor was the governor of Xuzhou but I first confirmed and then doubted the possibility. Visiting old friends used to be a traditional virtue but this virtue has now disappeared. The current situation is that people love the rich and despise the poor so why did the visitor come to visit me? I regret not being able to cook a fat chicken and steam fresh millet and have a heartfelt conversation with my old friend in my thatched cottage. My heart is filled with deep affection and endless worries and tears fall like rain wetting my clothes. I entrust a letter to the migrating geese in the sky asking them to fly swiftly to the northwest for me.

《赏析：张稷来访》
这篇赏析主要围绕着张稷来访的情节展开，通过描写孩子的告语、作者的心情以及对朋友的思念，表达了作者对张稷来访的珍视和对友谊的赞美。
首先，文章开头的前八句写到了张稷来访的情景。作者通过描述田家樵采去、薄暮方来归的场景，暗示了张稷来访的珍贵和他自己落职后的卑下和艰辛。接着，孩子的告语“有客款柴扉”揭示了张稷的排场和随从的豪华，以及车盖、符信的辉煌，进一步突出了张稷的身份和地位。
接下来，中间八句写到了作者对朋友来访的心情。作者一听说张稷来访就怀疑是他，但又觉得好像不是。这种怀疑既表现了作者对张稷的信赖，也反映了作者对世态的失望。作者提到“思旧昔言有，此道今已微”，表示以前的友谊已经变得很少见了。作者说：“物情弃疵贱，何独顾衡闱？”表达了对世态的不满，同时也赞扬了张稷对友谊的高度重视。
最后四句则表达了作者对朋友的思念。作者引用了范张鸡黍典故，表达了自己与张稷未能共享美酒的遗憾。通过将自己与张稷的交谊比作范式、张劭，作者赞美了朋友间的情意和友谊的珍贵。
整篇赏析通过描写张稷来访的情景、作者的心情和对朋友的思念，展示了作者对友谊的珍视和对张稷的赞美。同时，通过对世态的描绘，也反映了作者对社会现象的不满和对友谊的珍贵的思考。
