七绝·为女民兵题照 – 毛澤東

 

飒爽英姿五尺枪，曙光初照演兵场。

中华儿女多奇志，不爱红装爱武装。

— Mao Ze-dong

 

Of valiant mien, with rifles five feet long,

Upon the dawn-lit drill field, they stand strong.

Chinese daughters of high-aspiring minds

Prize not silk, but martial garb and red song.

With five-foot-long rifles, valiant all around,

Strong they stand upon the dawn-lit drill ground.

Chinese daughters, of high-aspiring minds,

Prize not silk, but martial garb they hound.

 《为女民兵题照》－ 毛泽东

 

飒爽英姿五尺枪，

曙光初照演兵场。

中华儿女多奇志，

不爱红装爱武装。

 

A Quatrain by Mao Zedong

(For a Photograph of the Women Militia)

 

With long rifles, they drill with Amazon zeal

Upon the field as dawn begins to peel.

Chinese daughters’ mindset truly unique —

To them no rouge but battle garbs appeal.
