雙語詩歌翻譯|秦韜玉-《貧女》

《貧女》是唐代詩人秦韜玉的作品。此詩訴說貧女悲慘的處境和難言的苦衷。詩人把貧女放在社會環(huán)境的矛盾沖突中，通過獨白揭示貧女內(nèi)心深處的苦痛，著意刻畫貧女持重清高的品行，對貧女給予深切同情，也寄寓著作者的不平和感慨。全詩沒有典故，不用比擬，語言質(zhì)樸，以廣泛深刻的內(nèi)涵，濃厚的生活哲理，使詩作蘊有重大的社會意義。其中最后“為他人作嫁衣裳”一句廣為流傳，是人所共稱的佳句。

《貧女》 秦韜玉

蓬門未識綺羅香，擬托良媒益自傷。
誰愛風(fēng)流高格調(diào)，共憐時世儉梳妝。
敢將十指夸針巧，不把雙眉斗畫長。
苦恨年年壓金線，為他人作嫁衣裳。

Soliloquy of a Poor Girl
Qin Taoyu

In my thatched hut the feel of silk I never know.
At the very thought of marriage my heart sinks low.
Who would my bearing easy and erect admire
Or care to value the plainness of my attire?
My silk at embroid'ry would I gladly display;
Yet I vie not with girls who paint their brows each day.
Year after year I sew my golden thread in sigh
On bridal robes the rich for wedding daughters buy.
