《國風(fēng)·衛(wèi)風(fēng)·氓》是周代著名文學(xué)作品《詩經(jīng)》中的詩歌。這是一首棄婦自訴婚姻悲劇的長詩。詩中的女主人公以無比沉痛的口氣,回憶了戀愛生活的甜蜜,以及婚后被丈夫虐待和遺棄的痛苦。全詩六章,第一章,追敘自己由初戀而定的婚;第二章,敘述自己陷入情網(wǎng),沖破了媒妁之言的桎梏而與氓結(jié)婚;第三章,她對一群年青貌美的天真少女,現(xiàn)身說法地規(guī)勸她們不要沉醉于愛情,并指出男女不平等的現(xiàn)象;第四章,對氓的負心表示怨恨,她指出,這不是女人的差錯,而是氓的反復(fù)無常;第五章,接著追敘,敘述她婚后的操勞、被虐和兄弟的譏笑而自傷不幸;第六章,敘述幼年彼此的友愛和今日的乖離,斥責(zé)氓的虛偽和欺騙,堅決表示和氓在感情上一刀兩斷。此詩通過棄婦的自述,表達了她悔恨的心情與決絕的態(tài)度,深刻地反映了古代社會婦女在戀愛婚姻問題上倍受壓迫和摧殘的情況。
《詩經(jīng)--國風(fēng)·衛(wèi)風(fēng)·氓》
氓之蚩蚩,抱布貿(mào)絲。
匪來貿(mào)絲,來即我謀。
送子涉淇,至于頓丘。
匪我愆期,子無良媒。
將子無怒,秋以為期。
乘彼垝垣,以望復(fù)關(guān)。
不見復(fù)關(guān),泣涕漣漣。
既見復(fù)關(guān),載笑載言。
爾卜爾筮,體無咎言。
以爾車來,以我賄遷。
桑之未落,其葉沃若。
于嗟鳩兮,無食桑葚!
于嗟女兮,無與士耽!
士之耽兮,猶可說也;
女之耽兮,不可說也。
桑之落矣,其黃而隕。
自我徂爾,三歲食貧。
淇水湯湯,漸車帷裳。
女也不爽,士貳其行。
士也罔極,二三其德!
三歲為婦,靡室勞矣。
夙興夜寐,靡有朝矣!
言既遂矣,至于暴矣。
兄弟不知,咥其笑矣。
靜言思之,躬自悼矣!
及爾偕老,老使我怨。
淇則有岸,隰則有泮。
總角之宴,言笑晏晏。
信誓旦旦,不思其反。
反是不思,亦已焉哉!
A Simple Fellow
A simple fellow, all smiles,
Brought cloth to exchange for thread,
Not in truth to buy thread
But to arrange about me.
I saw you across the Qi
As far as Dunqiu;
It was not I who wanted to put it off,
But you did not have a proper matchmaker.
I begged you not to be angry
And fixed autumn as the time.
I climbed the city wall
To watch for your return to the pass;
And when you did not come
My tears fell in floods;
Then I saw you come,
And how gaily I laughed and talked!
You consulted tortoise-shell and milfoil, (1)
And they showed nothing unlucky;
You came with your cart
And took me off with my dowry.
Before the mulberry sheds its leaves,
How green and fresh they are!
Ah, turtle-dove,
Do not eat the mulberries!
Ah, girls,
Do not take your pleasure with men!
A man can take pleasure
And get away with it,
But a girl
Will never get away with it.
The mulberry sheds its leaves
Yellow and sere;
After going to you
Three years I supped on poverty.
Deep are the waters of the Qi;
They wet the curtains as the carriage crossed,
I did no wrong,
You were the one to blame;
It was you who were faithless
And changed.
Three years I was your wife,
Never idle in your house,
Rising early and retiring late
Day after day.
All went smoothly
Till you turned rough;
And my brothers, not knowing,
Laughed and joked with me as before.
Alone, thinking over my fate,
I could only lament.
I had hoped to grow old with you,
Now the thought of old age grieves my heart.
The Qi has its shores,
The Shi its banks;
How happy we were, our hair in tufts, (2)
How fondly we talked and laughed,
How solemnly we swore to be true!
I must think no more of the past;
The past is done with —
Better let it end like this!
