Yuan Mei – 袁枚

遣兴

[清]袁枚

爱好由来下笔难,

一诗千改始心安。

阿婆还似初笄女[1],

头未梳成不许看。

注释:

[1]初笄女:古代女子15岁加笄,初笄女指刚成年的女子。笄:古代妇女盘头用的簪子。

On Verse Writing

Yuan Mei

It’s hard to make a verse which could afford delight;

I cannot feel at ease till I write and rewrite.

An old beauty should make up like a maiden fair;

She would not show herself unless she’s dressed her hair.
