英譯兩首很幽默的唐代七絕。

《近試上張水部》

作者：朱慶餘

翻譯：沅湘

 

洞房昨夜停紅燭，

待曉堂前拜舅姑。
妝罷低聲問夫婿，

畫眉深淺入時無。

 

To Minister Zhang of Aquatic Engineering as the Test Is Around the Corner

Authored by Zhu Qingyu

Translated by Yuanxiang

 

I kept in bower candles straight last night

For morn audience by parents-in-law

And lowering voice asked husband help for:

In brow-tinting have I done fashion right?

 

《酬朱慶餘》

作者：張籍

譯者：沅湘

 

“越女新妝出鏡心，

自知明豔更沉吟。

齊紈未足時人貴，

一曲菱歌敵萬金。

Translated by Yuanxiang

 

It’s  a fashion  girl musing at mirror,

Who knows herself shining thus more thoughtful.

Others in Qi silk aren’t than her dearer,

Whose lotus song’s than gold more valuable.
