元曲汉译英赏析04:无题01-商挺(英汉对照)



Shang Ting (1209-1288) styled Mengqing, also known by his literary name Zuos-han Laoren ( the Old Man of the North Mountain ), was born in Jiyin of Caozhou ( today's Heze of Shandong Province). For calligraphy, he was good at the official script, ink bamboo, and landscape painting. Among the over 1,000 pieces of his poetic compositions most have been lost. His nineteen extant Qu-lyrics are exclusively about the manners and emotions of women in the boudoir, resembling somewhat the folk Qu-poetry in their minute depictions.

商 挺(1209-1288) 字孟卿,号左山老人,曹州济阴(今山东菏泽)人。善隶书,工山水墨竹,著诗千余篇,多散佚,能词、曲。现存小令十九首,均描写闺情,手笔细腻,富有民间俗曲风味。

潘妃曲·无题(一)

Deserted here, not a soul is seen,

冷冷清清人寂静,

Against the silk mosquito net I learn,

斜把鲛绡凭,

I am harking in tears.

和泪听。

Outside suddenly the sound of pacing reaches my ears,

蓦听得门外地皮儿鸣。

--It is he! No, only the bamboo green

则道是多情,

Whispers near the window screen.

却原来翠竹把纱窗映。
