苏东坡《浣溪沙·端午》千年前的端午，原来如此优雅 Su Shi's Dragon Boat Festival: Memory Across a Thousand Years

 

《浣溪沙·端午》

宋·苏轼

轻汗微微透碧纨，

明朝端午浴芳兰。

流香涨腻满晴川。

彩线轻缠红玉臂，

小符斜挂绿云鬟。

佳人相见一千年。

白话译文

薄薄的丝衣上微微透出香汗，

明天就是端午节了，人们将用兰草浸泡的香汤沐浴。

芬芳的香气弥漫四野，仿佛充满了整个晴朗的河川。

女子的手臂上轻轻缠着五彩丝线，

发髻旁斜挂着驱邪祈福的符袋。

愿这样美好的佳节与美丽的人儿，千年之后依然能够相见。

English Translation

Huan Xi Sha: The Dragon Boat Festival

A light sheen of fragrance moistens her silk attire;

Tomorrow, at the Dragon Boat Festival,

People bathe in orchid-scented water.

Sweet aromas drift and spread,

Filling the bright riverbanks with lingering perfume.

Colored threads gently circle her jade-like arms;

A talisman hangs beside her cloud-like hair.

May such beauty and this festive joy

Meet again a thousand years from now.
