謹以此書

獻給英國斯特靈大學

獻給支持我翻譯彭斯詩歌的朋友們

如斯特克萊德大學的道格拉斯·布羅迪、斯特靈大學的理查·奧勒姆

和格拉斯哥大學的杰勒德·卡拉瑟斯

I dedicate this book to

University of Stirling in the United Kingdom.

I dedicate this book also to my friends who encouraged me to translate Burns

such as Douglas Brodie at University of Strathclyde, Richard Oram

at University of Stirling and Gerard Carruthers at University of Glasgow.
