赵善庆·《沉醉东风·昭君出塞图》英译

毡帐冷柔情挽挽，

黑河秋塞草斑斑。

丹青误写情，

环佩难归汉。

抱琵琶怨杀和番，

比似丹青旧玉颜，

又越添愁眉泪眼。

Ode to the Drawing of Zhaojun’s Going out of Frontier Pass

To the Tune of Intoxication in East Wind

Zhao Shanqing

Cold and quiet she is sentimental in the felt tent,

Grey grass along the Heihe River adds to autumn tint.

The picture misleads the emperor,

The beauty could not return forever.

Plucking the pipa her marriage for pacifying she resents.

Comparing her look to the courtesan in the old paints,

She looks so sad with eyes full of tears and pains.
