李端·《鸣筝》英译

鸣筝金粟柱，素手玉房前。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

欲得周郎顾，时时误拂弦。

Playing the Zheng

Li Duan

She strums the strings of a gold-pegged zheng

In front of her house with delicate hands.

To attract the attention of a young Master Zhou

She errs in fingering now and then.
