李白·《美人出南国》
美人出南国,灼灼芙蓉姿。
皓齿终不发,芳心空自持。
由来紫宫女,共妒青蛾眉。
归去潇湘沚,沉吟何足悲。
The Beauty Born in South
Li Bai
The Beauty comes from South,
Blooming like lotus flower.
Her teeth brighten her mouth,
She’s lofty like a tower.
Long since palace maids vied
To outshine beaming eyes.
Come back to riverside,
Her songs turn to sad sighs.
(许渊冲 译)
