当官，当官，多少寒门子弟挤破了头脑也要参加科举，希望能够功成名就，一跃龙门来个鲤鱼翻身，从此脱胎换骨高人一等。

不愁吃喝享乐还备受尊敬，有身份，有地位。衣食住行皆有人伺候。

The poor ones like us could never see the light of day because few of us can succeed in the imperial exam.

但是大部分我们这些寒门子弟也没有这样的出头之日，因为考上的毕竟是极少数。

世人的眼晴可都是火眼睛睛呀，所以好东西大家都蜂拥而至用抢，看看每年参加科举的人数只多不减，竞争越来越大，通过越来越难就知道了。

If being an official is not a good path, then there is no better path to take.

若是当官这条路还不好的话，那世上就没有其它更好的路可以走了。
