汪班译著的《撷芳集：从李白到张爱玲（英文版）》是一部以英文写作的中国诗词赏析，内容包括译文资料和英文诠释两个部分。
译文资料展现。包括原文（中文）拼音，四声和英文直译。作者在美国多年的中国文化讲座中，为中国古典诗歌英语讲座翻译出了许多唐诗、宋词和元曲，深感有些译作不能表达原意，因此进行精译，并在译文前印出原文（中文）拼音，四声和英文直译，满足读者阅读需求。
英文诠释分析。译析包括两部分内容： 首先，解释每一首诗词都是图画和音乐结合形成，是一种世界上绝无仅有的独特文字语言，然后进一步分析研究古典诗歌具有格式与音律，文辞对仗与搭配，是一种建于规则严格而完成的文学作品，但读起来必须文字自然活泼，音韵和谐。其次，从文体的角度分析诗词内容。诗词的主题无论是写政事民生、战争爱情、回忆或期望，都达到潇洒而不放荡、哀而不伤、溶自然与人世於一体，达到美含内中的至高境界，是世界文学中最具有特殊奇美的文体。介绍这些并加以欣赏，能够打动读者。
