    • 2005, Nguyễn Ngọc Tư, “Thương quá rau răm”, in Cánh đồng bất tận, NXB Trẻ:
      Bởi ông biết rằng, mưa gió kia, sóng nước mênh mông kia và cả màu chiều đang lịm dần kia sẽ làm cho người bác sĩ trẻ này thất vọng.
      For he knew that that wind, that rain, those vast rolling waters, and even that color of the slowly fading evening light would drive this young doctor to despair.
