雙語詩歌翻譯|薛濤-《酬人雨后玩竹》

大意：春雨過后的南竹青翠欲滴，美麗動人，怎比得上冬竹經霜歷雪、抗凍耐寒的堅貞品質。北竹中空挺拔、獨立不移的堅貞秉性。遠古帝王舜南巡，葬于蒼梧。娥皇、女英為之啼哭，淚下沾竹，竹盡斑。冬天的時候可以賞竹子修直挺拔剛勁，高尚純潔的貞操。

薛濤·《酬人雨后玩竹》

南天春雨時，那鑒雪霜姿。

眾類亦云茂，虛心寧自持。

多留晉賢醉，早伴舜妃悲。

晚歲君能賞，蒼蒼勁節(jié)奇。

A Poetic Gift for Someone Viewing Bamboos after Rain

Xue Tao

In southern clime and spring rain times,

Who could see faces tried by snow?

One species, thriving amidst many,

Finds strength in true pudicity.

A shelter to drunken Jin worthies,

It shares the grief of Shun’s consorts.

In old age you appreciate

Its joints both hoary and sturdy.
