《眼儿媚·迟迟春日弄轻柔》是南宋女词人朱淑真所作。词上片写风和日丽，百花飘香，而转眼清明已过，落花飞絮，云锁朱楼，令人不堪回首。下片写午梦初醒，绿窗闻莺，声声唤起春愁。结尾三句，构思新巧，含蕴无限。词通过春景的描写，宛转地抒发了惜春情绪。全词语浅意深，辞淡情浓，清新和婉，别具一格。
The poem “Graceful Eyes, Gentle Spring Day” was written by Zhu Shuzhen, a female poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. The lyrics depict the beautiful wind and sun, with fragrant flowers, but in the blink of an eye, the Qingming Festival has passed, with fallen flowers and flying fluff, and clouds locking onto the Zhu Lou, making it unbearable to look back on. The next film depicts waking up from a dream in the afternoon, hearing the orioles through the green window and evoking spring sorrows with their melodious sounds. The final three sentences are creatively conceived and contain infinite meaning. The lyrics express the sentiment of cherishing spring through the description of spring scenery. The whole word is shallow in meaning, with light language and strong emotions, fresh and gentle, and unique in style.
朱淑真·《眼儿媚》
迟迟春日弄轻柔，
花径暗香流。
清明过了，
不堪回首，
云锁朱楼。
午窗睡起莺声巧，
何处唤春愁？
绿杨影里，
海棠亭畔，
红杏梢头。
Charming Eyes
Zhu Shuzhen
A faint fragrance drifts along the flower-fring’d path in th’ air;
The sun shining, th’ breeze caresses th’ willows with care.
After Pure Brightness I can’t bear,
However, to recall the days of th’ past,
When with dark clouds the tower’s overcast.
The melodious voices of warblers, which to my ear
Sound like cries of grief after my noon nap, appear
To be coming from far and near—
From th’ willows green, from th’ apricots in red,
And from th’ begonias beside the shed.
（卓振英 译）
Tune: Fascinating Eyes
Zhu Shuzhen
In late spring days the gentle breeze
Plays with the slender willow trees;
Fragrance permeates the flowery pathway.
After the clear, bright Mourning Day,
How can I bear to think of bygone hours
Now clouds have veiled my crimson bower?
I wake from nap to hear the happy orioles sing.
Where will their songs evoke the grief of spring?
In willows’ shade,
By balustrade
Of the Crabapple Bower,
Amid apricot flowers.
（许渊冲 译）
