【A Flower, A Peach】
by Tian Chao Yu
Come and see me
a flower, sweet and pretty
standing tall like a lotus flower in a summer pond
fragrant as a field daisy, wild and free
Come and see me
a peach, supple and juicy
blushing like a lady on her first date
youthful as a runner in her morning dash
Come and see me
before the autumn wind swirling in
love me like a butterfly kissing its favorite flower
a gardener tasting his first peach of the season
【一花,一桃】
文/天朝玉
快來看我吧,一朵美麗可愛的花
她像夏日池塘裏的荷花,婷婷玉立
又如田野裏幽香的野菊,自由純真
快來看我吧,一枚柔軟味美的桃子
她像初次約會的女孩,羞澀靦腆
又如晨跑中的運動員,充滿青春活力
快來看我吧,在旋轉的秋風到來之前
愛我,如蝴蝶親吻它最喜歡的花朵
惜我,如園丁品嚐他收獲的第一枚桃子

《穠萏夭桃》
曹雪葵 譯
田田穠萏,沐影塘漣,
縠衣含秀兮,香黛融煙,
嗟汝君子,胡不我覘?
沁沁夭桃,舒袖村漻,
羞靨初淺兮,胭脂新調。
嗟汝君子,胡不我瞧?
期汝怎耐,光輝焉再,
當賒蝶羽兮,值秋未逮。
田田穠萏,沁沁夭桃,
愛哉惜哉,莫負春宵。
