孟郊·《闺怨》英译

妾恨比斑竹，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

下盘烦冤根。

有笋未出土，

中已含泪痕。

Boudoir Complaint

Meng Jiao

My sadness can be likened to spotted bamboos;

Deep underground are their roots of woe.

The sprouts are dotted with tear stains

Before they break the soil and grow.
