（古詩英譯）論詩三十首（十二）金 – 元好問

論詩三十首（十二）金 – 元好問

 

望帝春心托杜鹃，佳人锦瑟怨华年。

诗家总爱西昆好，独恨无人作郑笺。

 

A Quatrain by Yuan Hao-wen (Jin Dynasty)

 

Du Yu’s fond heart lives on in cuckoo’s vernal song,

For lost youth, the belle zithers grief so subtly strong.

Though poets cherish the nuanced style of Xi Kung,

No one can match Zheng Xuan, discerning right from wrong.

 

Tr. Ziyuzie
