（古詩英譯）京都元夕 – （金代）元好問

京都元夕 – （金代）元好問

 

袨服華妝著處逢，六街燈火鬧兒童。

長衫我亦何為者，也在遊人笑語中。

 

Lantern-Fest-Night in Bianjing by Yuan Haowen (Jin Dynasty)

 

Eye-alluring outfits, rouged, all so fair,
In lantern-lit streets, kids romp here and there.
What am I here for, a long-robed scholar?
Ear-feasting the joyful chattering air.
