双语诗歌翻译|张先·《一丛花令》

《一丛花令》是宋代文学家张先的作品。这首词写的是闺中人春日登楼引起的相思与愁恨。上片写别后愁怀；下片是回忆当年。最后三句借羡慕桃杏犹解嫁东风，叹息人不如物。词中以桃杏喻人，以无情比有情，设想新颖，颇有艺术魅力。

张先 《一丛花令》

伤高怀远几时穷？
无物似情浓。
离愁正引千丝乱，
更东陌，
飞絮濛濛。
嘶骑渐遥，
征尘不断，
何处认郎踪？

双鸳池沼水溶溶，
南北小桡通。
梯横画阁黄昏后，
又还是、斜月帘栊。
沉恨细思，
不如桃杏，
犹解嫁东风。

Song of Flower Shrub
Zhang Xian

When will the sorrow end
To watch my parting friend
From a tower above?
Nothing is so intense as love.
My sorrow interweaves
A thousand twigs of willow leaves;
The pathway east of the town
Is shrouded in wafting willow down.
His neighing steed is far away,
A cloud of dust still darkening the day.
Where is the place
To find my lover's trace?

A pair of lovebirds seems to melt in water clean;
Little leaflike boats go
North and south, to and fro.
After dusk in the twilight
I dare not go up the painted bower on the height.
What will again be seen
But the waning moon shining on window-screen?
How deeply I envy peach and apricot trees
Newly wed to and oft caressed by vernal breeze!
