陈皋谟·《笑倒·梦戏酌》英译

梦戏酌

一人梦赴戏酌，方定席，为妻惊醒，乃骂其妻。妻曰：不要骂，趁早睡去，戏文还未半本哩。

Party with Theatricals in Dreamland

A man dreamt of going to a dinner party at which theatricals would be given. Hardly had the seats been assigned to the guests when he was awakened by his better half, against whom he uttered invectives for interrupting his fond dream.

“Don’t curse me, my dear,” said his better half. “Go back to sleep before it is too late. The play isn’t half over yet.”
