元曲汉译英赏析90:高祖还乡06-雎景臣(英汉对照)



Ju Jingchen (1303-?) alias Shunchen, styled Jingxian, was born in Yang-zhou. Ju was a diligent student ever since his childhood, but did not go very far in his official career. A fan of music, he was also a playwright, though none of his plays have survived. Three sequences of Sanqu poems have been preserved.

雎景臣(1303-?)一作舜臣,字景贤,扬州人。自幼好学,然仕途不得志。嗜音律,有杂剧行世,皆不传。散曲仅存套数三篇。

哨遍·高祖还乡

VI.

06

Your family name is Liu,

〔六〕你须身姓刘,

Your wife's name is Lu.

你妻须姓吕,

I could trace the real origin of your families two.

把你两家儿根脚从头教:

You, addicted to drink, used to be a village head,Your father-in-law used to be a teacher teaching kids country-bred.

你本身做亭长耽几盏酒,

Living in the east of our village, as of peasant class,

曾在俺庄东住,

You were once hired by me to build dikes, hoe the fields,

也曾与我喂牛切草,

Feed cattle and cut grass.

拽坝扶锄。
