Depicted an image of a laborer weeding at noon every day.

After cutting the grain at noon, sweat dripped down the soil.

Who knows that every meal in the plate is bitter.

[Notes]

1. Unfortunately: Unfortunately.

2. Hoe: Use a hoe to loosen the soil around the seedlings.

3. Translation:

Until the hot noon, sweat dripped into the grain field. Who knows that the rice in the bowl comes from hard work and toil.

This poem is about the hardships of labor, and the fruits of labor are hard to come by. The first and second sentences, "When weeding at noon, sweat drips down the soil", depict farmers still working in the fields under the scorching sun at noon. These two poems choose a specific scene and vividly describe the hardships of labor. With these two specific descriptions, the sighs and warnings in the third and fourth sentences, "Who knows that every grain is hard", are freed from the empty and abstract preaching and become flesh-and-blood and far-reaching proverbs.
