（古詩詞英譯） 醉太平·譏貪小利者 － 元·無名氏

醉太平·譏貪小利者 － 元·無名氏


奪泥燕口，
削鐵針頭，
刮金佛麵細搜求，
無中覓有。

鵪鶉嗉裏尋豌豆，
鷺鷥腿上劈精肉，
蚊子腹內刳脂油，
虧老先生下手！


A Satire On Petty Greedy Scumbags

by an anonymous author 

tr. ziyuzile 

Snatch at swallow’s bill for a muddy spit,
Scrub needle’s tip for any iron shit.
Scrape Buddha’s gilt face for bit gold,
Seek nothing unturned for anything untold.

Search quail’s crop for a piece of bean,
Slit egret’s legs for meat that’s lean.
Snip mozzie’s tummy for any grease or fat.
Sir！Thanks a lot for the feat you’re best at!
