王昌龄·《长信秋词（其三）》英译

奉帚平明金殿开，且将团扇共徘徊。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

玉颜不及寒鸦色，犹带昭阳日影来。

Autumn Song of the Palace of the Disfavoured

Wang Changlin

I start my work with a broom when the autumn palace opens at dawn;

Very often I just pace up and down with a fan in my hand.

My visage, though fair, is not as taking as that of a black raven,

Whose plume is tinged with the gracious sunlight of the Queen’s Abode.
