关汉卿·《一半儿·无题》英译

碧纱窗外静无人，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

跪在床前忙要亲。

骂了个负心回转身。

虽是我话儿嗔，

一半儿推辞一半儿肯。

to the tune of Half

Guan Hanqing

Outside curtained window no one is in sight,

He kneels before my bed attempting a kiss with might.

I chide him “a heartless man” and then turn to the wall,

Though I make angry remarks so tart,

I half refuse and half wish for the kiss at heart.
