卢梅坡 ·《雪梅（一）》英译

梅雪争春未肯降，骚人搁笔费平章。

梅须逊雪三分白，雪却输梅一段香。

The Plums and the Snow

(Verse One)

Lu Meipo

For spring, the plums and snow are not willing to stop contending,

Upon a fair judgment, the poet is holding a pen and pondering.

The snow overcomes the plums with its color much whiter,

But the plums beat the snow with their scent a bit nicer.
