杜仁杰·《耍孩儿·二煞》英译

一个妆做张太公，
他改做小二哥，
行、行、行，说向城中过。
见个年少的妇女向帘儿下立，
那老子用意铺谋
待取做老婆。
教小二哥相说合，
但要的豆谷米麦，
问甚布绢纱罗。

The Last But Two

One actor plays the role of grandpa old,
Another acts the waiter of a wine shop.
They walk and talk of life,
And at the central place they stop,
Seeing a young woman standing under the screen.
The grandpa covets her as wife,
And asks the waiter to be go-between,
How much grain, rice, peas and wheat
She wants as dowry and how many feet
Of cloth, silk, satin and brocade, all told.
