罗邺·《鸡冠花》英译

一枝秾艳对秋光，露滴风摇倚砌傍。

晓景乍看何处似？谢家新染紫罗裳。

Cockscomb Floret

Luo Ye

Enchanted with fall charms, a spray in gaudy and garish hue

Leans against flight of steps, swayed by whiffs of zephyr and moistened with drops of dew.

What does she resemble in the dusk of vesper view?

Dyed in violet,　Xies’ ¹bag brand-new.

1. Xie refers to Xie An, a statesman in Eastern Jin dynasty.
