李清照·《浣溪沙·绣幕芙蓉一笑开》英译

绣幕芙蓉一笑开，斜偎宝鸭衬香腮。眼波才动被人猜。

一面风情深有韵，半笺娇恨寄幽怀。月移花影约重来。

Love at First Sight
—to the tune of Huanxisha

The curtains open, the lotus embroidered on it smiling,
I pillow on the duck-shaped censer (1) with my cheeks resting on it.
When I cast my eyes down
My mind is guessed by others.

Love at first sight,
Letter follows, inviting him to come
When the moonbeams shine on the flowers.


(1)Censer: A duck-shaped vessel in which sandalwood is to burnt.
