朱淑真·《减字木兰花·春怨》英译

独行独坐，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

独唱独酬还独卧。

伫立伤神，

无奈春寒著摸人。

此情谁见，

泪洗残妆无一半。

愁病相仍，

剔尽寒灯梦不成。

Magnolia Being Reduced in Words

Zhu Shu-zhen

Pace alone sit alone,

Compose alone reply alone and still lie alone.

Standing still for long,

I am grief stricken.

Having no choice,

I can only be teased at spring cold discretion.

Who knows this feelings?

Tears washed the remnant makeup,

That left not a half.

Sadness and illness come one after another.

All the cold lampwick being rejected,

Dreams do not come up.

（林孔辉 译）

Tune: Shortened Form of Magnolia Flower

Grief in Spring

Zhu Shuzhen

Alone I stroll and sit,

Alone I chant and thyme, and still alone I sleep.

Standing, I feel unfit.

What can I do when cold spring torments me to weep!

Is grief beyond grief?

My neglected dress is half wet with tears in stream.

Illness comes after grief;

The cold lamp dying out, I can’t even have dreams.
