雨诺【拒闲聊】

 關睢 

關關雎鳩、在河之洲。

窈宨淑女、君子好逑。

參差荇菜、左右流之。
窈宨淑女、寤寐求之。

求之不得、寤寐思服。

悠哉悠哉、輾轉反側。

參差荇菜、左右采之。

窈宨淑女、琴瑟友之。

參差荇菜、左右芼之。
窈宨淑女、 鍾鼓樂之。

 

GUAN SUI 

Guan-guango the ospreys ,
    On the islet in the river .
    The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
    For our prince a good mate she.

Herelong , there short , is the duckweed ,
    To the left , to the right , borne about by the current .
    The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
    Waking and sleeping , he sought her .
    He sought her and found her not ,
    And waking and sleeping he thought about her .
    Long he thought ; oh ! long and anxiously ;
    On his side , on his back , he turned , and back again .

Herelong , there short , is the duckweed ;
    On the left , on the right , we gather it .
    The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
    With lutes , small and large , let us give her friendlywelcome .
    Here long , there short , is the duckweed ;
    On the left , on the right , we cook and present it .
    The modest , retiring , virtuous , young lady : --
    With bells and drums let us show our delight in her . 

 

青青子衿、悠悠我心。

縱我不往、子寧不嗣音。

青青子佩、悠悠我思。
縱我不往、子寧不來。

挑兮達兮、在城闕兮。

一日不見、如三月兮。 

 

ZI JIN

O you ,with the blue collar ,
    Prolonged is the anxiety of my heart .
    Although I do not go [to you] ,
    Why do you not continue your messages [to me] ?

O youwith the blue [strings to your] girdle-gems ,
    Long , long do I think of you .
    Although I do not go [to you] ,
    Why do you not come [to me] ?

Howvolatile are you and dissipated ,
    By the look-out tower on the wall !
    One day without the sight of you ,
    Is like three months .

 

野有蔓草、零露漙兮。

有美一人、清揚婉兮。

邂逅相遇、適我願兮。

野有蔓草、零露瀼瀼。

有美一人、婉如清揚。

邂逅相遇、與子偕臧。

 

YE YOU MAN CAO

On themoor is the creeping grass ,
    And how heavily is it loaded with dew !
    There was a beautiful man ,
    Lovely , with clear eyes and fine forehead !
    We met together accidentally ,
    And so my desire was satisfied .
