雙語詩歌翻譯|漢樂府-《艷歌行》

《艷歌行》是漢代樂府詩歌。此詩寫了“兄弟兩三人”流浪他鄉(xiāng)時所經歷的一個尷尬場面，寫得真切生動、活潑而富有諧趣，但諧中寓莊，于中更能反襯出游子之凄苦。

漢樂府----《艷歌行》

翩翩堂前燕，
冬藏夏來見。
兄弟兩三人，
流宕在他縣。

故衣誰當補，
新衣誰當綻？
賴得賢主人，
覽取為吾綻。

夫婿從門來，
斜柯西北眄。
“語卿且匆眄，
水清石自見。”

石見何累累，
遠行不如歸。

Homesick

Flitting, flitting, the swallows before the hall;
In winter they vanish, in summer they return;
Yet I, with two brothers of my own,
Am still a wanderer in a strange land.

Who will patch my old clothes?
Who will stitch and mend for me?
The good woman of the house is kind,
She takes my clothes and mends them;

But her husband coming home,
Framed in the doorway, looks askance at me.
I tell him, "No call to look at me like that!
When a brook is clear the stones are seen."

My conscience is crystal clear.
Just let me end my wanderings and go home!
