鱼玄机·《和人次韵》英译

喧喧朱紫杂人寰，独自清吟日色间。

何事玉郎搜藻思，忽将琼韵扣柴关。

白花发咏惭称谢，僻巷深居谬学颜。

不用多情欲相见，松萝高处是前山。

Following Up Another’s Verse

Yu Xuanji

How clamorous the crowds around

the rich and the influential;

by myself, I sing alone

in the light of the moon.

What motivates the man to come

with poetry in mind?

Here he shows up at my door

with his elegant rhymes.

I chant among the jasmines

and hide in poverty:

above the pines and mountains yet;

don’t seek me ardently.

（Bannie Chow, Thomas Cleary 译）
