赠邻女

[唐]鱼玄机

羞日遮罗袖[1],

愁春懒起妆。

易求无价宝,

难得有心郎。

枕上潜[2]垂泪,

花间暗断肠。

自能窥宋玉[3],

何必恨王昌[4]。

注释:

[1]遮罗袖:以华美的衣袖遮面;罗:古代的一种丝织品。

[2]潜:暗暗地。

[3]宋玉:战国楚辞赋家,屈原弟子。诗词中代指相貌俊美且有才学之人。

[4]王昌:诗词中代指身居高位,相貌英俊之人。《钱希言桐薪》:“意其人,身为贵戚,则姿仪儁美,为世所共赏共知。”

For a Neighbor’s Daughter

Yu Xuanji

You screen your face with sleeves when you feel shy;

You won’t leave your bed when spring makes you sigh.

It’s not so difficult to find a priceless treasure

As to win a heart who loves you beyond measure.

You wet your pillow with your secret tear;

Your heart is broken among flowers sear.

If you could see a lover’s amorous beam,

You would no longer feel regret in dream.
