朱淑真·《谒金门·春半》英译

春已半，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

触目此情无限。

十二阑干闲倚遍，

愁来天不管。

好是风和日暖，

输与莺莺燕燕。

满院落花帘不卷，

断肠芳草远。

Tune: At the Golden Gate

Mid-spring

Zhu Shuzhen

Half spring has passed,

The view awakes a sorrow vague and vast.

Unoccupied, I lean on all twelve balustrades,

But Heaven cares not if my sorrow fades.

Although the sun is warm and the breeze fair,

I envy orioles and swallows in pair.

When courtyard flowers fall, I won’t uproll the screen;

My heart would break when green grass can’t be seen.
