曹植 《美女篇》

美女妖且閑，采桑歧路間。
柔條紛冉冉，葉落何翩翩！
攘袖見素手，皓腕約金環(huán)。
頭上金爵釵，腰佩翠瑯玕。
明珠交玉體，珊瑚間木難。
羅衣何飄搖，輕裾隨風(fēng)還。
顧盼遺光彩，長(zhǎng)嘯氣若蘭。
行徒用息駕，休者以忘餐。
借問女安居？乃在城南端。
青樓臨大路，高門結(jié)重關(guān)。
容華耀朝日，誰不希令顏，
媒氏何所營(yíng)？玉帛不時(shí)安。
佳人慕高義，求賢良獨(dú)難。
眾人徒嗷嗷，安知彼所觀。
盛年處房室，中夜起長(zhǎng)嘆。

The Fair Maiden
Cao Zhi

Alluring and sky, stands a fair maiden,
Gathering mulberry leaves at the crossroads.
The tender twigs rustle;
The leaves fall one by one.
How white her hands as she bares her arms,
A gold bracelet round her wrist!
On her head a golden sparrow hairpin;
At her waist a green jade pendant,
While encompassing her lovely form,
Pearls, coral and blue glass beads.
In the breeze, her silk blouse flutters
And her light skirt flows.
Glances reveal her shining eyes;
Sighs her breath, orchid sweet.
Travellers en route halt their carriages;
Those resting forget their refreshment.
If someone asks where she lives,
Her home is in the south of the city.
A green, storied house by the highway,
With a high gate and double bars.
Radiant as the morning sun,
Who could not admire her beauty?
Why aren't the matchmakers busy?
Where are the silk and jade betrothal gifts?
This fair maiden longs for a worthy lover;
Yet how hard to find a fitting mate.
In vain people make suggestions,
Ignorant of her ideal.
Wasting her youth away in her home,
At midnight she awakes and sighs.
