搞笑版:楼主要鼓励原创啊,呵呵
You can lift skirt and cross the river
If you are missing me bitter
others would love me too
If you treat me as a balsam pear
You don't be so madcap,fucker!
如果你想我想得很辛苦
我就撩起裙子把小溪渡
如果你把我当作苦瓜煮
自然有人来找我当新妇
你小子别太狂妄了,笨猪!
简释:“且”字原意就是一句骂人话,差不多等于今天的“切!”“md!” 等。所以译为fucker(笨蛋,混蛋)也没有错。另外两段意思雷同,就译一段算了。
问题补充:
When the leaves are luxuriantly grow
How beautiful is the mulberry
Oh! Thee little turtle-dove
Never devour the fruitery
Oh ! thee lovely girl
Never over immersed in the gladness bay
A indulged boy would release easier
A girl fallen love could never pull away
注:“说”通“脱”,解脱的意思。不是说(say)
桑树丰美枝叶繁茂
斑鸠不要贪吃桑枣
妹妹切勿耽溺情欲
男人脱身何其自若
女人陷入即难解脱
氓氓之蚩蚩,抱布贸丝。
匪来贸丝,来即我谋。送子涉淇,至于顿丘。
匪我愆期,子无良媒。将子无怒,秋以为期。
乘彼危垣,以望复关。不见复关,泣涕涟涟。
既见复关,载笑载言。尔卜尔筮,体无咎言。
以尔车来,以我贿迁。桑之未落,其叶沃若。
于嗟鸠兮,无食桑葚;于嗟女兮,无与士耽。士之耽兮,犹可说也;女之耽兮,不可说也。
桑之落矣,其黄而陨。自我徂尔,三岁食贫。
淇水汤汤,渐车帷裳。女也不爽,士贰其行。
士也罔极,二三其德。三岁为妇,靡室劳矣;夙兴夜寐,靡有朝矣。
言既遂矣,至于暴矣。兄弟不知,讥其笑矣。
静言思之,躬自悼矣。及尔偕老,老使我怨。
淇则有岸,隰则有泮。总角之宴,言笑晏晏。
信誓旦旦,不思其反。反是不思,亦已焉哉!The Faithless ManA man seemed free from guile,In trade he wore a smile,He'd barter cloth for thread;No,to me he'd be wed.We went across the ford;I'd not give him my word.I said by hillside green,"You have no go-between.Try to find one,I pray.In autumn be the day!"I climbed the wall to waitTo see him pass the gate.I did not see him pass;My tears streamed down,alas!I saw him passing by,I'd laugh with joy and cry.Both reed and tortoise shell.Foretold all would be well."Come with your cart," I said."To you I will be wed."How fresh were mulberriesWith their fruits on the trees!Beware,O turtledove,at not the fruits you love,For they'll intoxicate.Do not repent too late!Man may do what they will,He can atone it still.The wrong a woman's doneNo man will e'er condone.The mulberries appearWith yellow leaves and sear.'er since he married me,I've shared his poverty.Desert'd,from him I part,The flood has wet my cart.I have done nothing wrong;He changes all along.He's fickle to excess,Capricious,pitiless.Three years I was his wifeAnd led a toilsome life.ach day I early rose,And late I sought repose.He thought it not enoughAnd began to become roughMy brothers did not know,Their jeers at me would go.Mutely I ruminateAnd then deplore my fate.I'd live with him in vain;I had cause to complain.I love the ford of yoreAnd the wide rivershore.When we were girl and boy,We'd talk and laugh with joy.He pledged to me his trothCould he forget his oath?He's forgot what he swore.Should I say any more?。
出自《诗经·邶风·击鼓》
击鼓其镗,踊跃用兵。土国城漕,我独南行。
从孙子仲,平陈与宋。不我以归,忧心有忡。
爰居爰处?爰丧其马?于以求之?于林之下。
死生契阔,与子成说。执子之手,与子偕老。
于嗟阔兮,不我活兮。于嗟洵兮,不我信兮。
【注释】
①镗:击鼓的声音。②兵:刀枪等武器。③土国:国中挑填混 土的工作。④孙子仲:人名,统兵的主帅。⑤平:和好。⑥爱: 语气助同,没有实义。⑦契阔:离散聚合。⑧成说:预先约定的话。⑨于嗟:感叹词。阔:远离、⑩洵:远。
【译文】
战鼓敲得咚咚响, 奔腾跳跃练刀枪。
国人挑土修漕城, 我独南行上沙场。
跟随将军孙子钟, 联合陈国与宋国。
不许我们回家乡, 忧愁痛苦满心伤。
哪里是我栖身处? 哪里丢失我的马?
让我哪里去寻找? 在那山坡树林下。
生离死别好凄苦, 先前与你有誓言。
紧紧拉着你的手, 与你偕老到白头。
可叹远隔千万里, 想要生还难上难。
可叹生死长别离, 山盟海誓成空谈。
出自《论语·子罕》下文是子曰:“未之思也,夫何远之有?”
意思是 有一首诗这样说:“唐棣开花,翩翩摇摆,我能不思念吗?只是离得太远了。”下文意思是 孔子说:“不是真的思念,如果真的思念,再远又有什么关系?
