雙語詩歌翻譯|薛逢-《宮詞》

《宮詞》是唐代詩人薛逢創(chuàng)作的一首七言律詩。這首宮怨詩描述了宮妃從早到晚盼望君王臨幸的情景，表現(xiàn)了她們望幸不得的哀怨之情。首聯(lián)點(diǎn)明人物身份和全詩主旨，領(lǐng)聯(lián)描寫宮中環(huán)境，頸聯(lián)進(jìn)一步描寫宮紀(jì)們刻意打扮的情形，尾聯(lián)寫官妃窺見下級(jí)宮女正在打掃正殿御床而希望落空。此詩心理描寫細(xì)膩真切，通過環(huán)境的描寫演染湊涼氣氛，生動(dòng)形象。

薛逢·《宮詞》

十二樓中盡曉妝，望仙樓上望君王。

鎖銜金獸連環(huán)冷，水滴銅龍晝漏長。

云髻罷梳還對(duì)鏡，羅衣欲換更添香。

遙窺正殿簾開處，袍袴宮人掃御床。

Court Ladies

Xue Feng

Hoping to see the lord from the Watching Tower,

Ladies in morning dresses were astir all the bowers.

The double golden knocker was mute and cold,

The water-clock dripped away the long, boring hours.

Dressing hair in crowning knots, they glanced into the mirror again,

And the silken gowns, ready for wear, were perfumed anew.

Where the screen, withdrawn, revealed the imperial hall,

The court maids doing the Royal Bed appeared in view.
