马致远·《四块玉·马嵬坡》英译

睡海棠，春将晚，恨不得明皇掌中看。霓裳便是中原患。不因这玉环，引起那禄山，怎知蜀道难？

Mawei Slope
To the Tune of Four Pieces of Jade

Ma Zhiyuan

The beauty is an apple sleeping,
At the time when spring is waning,
To cherish her at his palm Emperor Xuanzong is dying.
Mutiny in the central plain is caused by her dancing.
If not for Yuhuan,
The cause of the revolt of Lushan,
How could the emperor be a refugee to Sichuan?
