七絕·為女民兵題照 – 毛澤東

 

颯爽英姿五尺槍，曙光初照演兵場。

中華兒女多奇誌，不愛紅裝愛武裝。

Of valiant mien, with rifles five feet long,

Upon the dawn-lit drill field, they stand strong.

Chinese daughters of high-aspiring minds

Prize not silk, but martial garb and red song.

With five-foot-long rifles, valiant all around,

Strong they stand upon the dawn-lit drill ground.

Chinese daughters, of high-aspiring minds,

Prize not silk, but martial garb they hound.

曙光初照演兵場。

中華兒女多奇誌，

不愛紅裝愛武裝。

 

A Quatrain by Mao Zedong

(For a Photograph of the Women Militia)

 

With long rifles, they drill with Amazon zeal

Upon the field as dawn begins to peel.

Chinese daughters’ mindset truly unique —

To them no rouge but battle garbs appeal.
