无名氏《四换头  约情》 -英译元曲-中英双语赏析-经典翻译

四换头
 约情

无名氏

东墙花月，

好景良宵恁记者。

低低的说：

来时节，

明日早些，

不志诚随灯灭[1]!

注释：

[1]不志诚随灯灭：你如果对我不是真心，就会像灯灭了一样死去。旧时民间就有指灯起誓一说。

“Among flowers by the eastern wall in moonlight,

Remember such a lovely scene and lovely night!”

She whispers in his ear:

“Come earlier tomorrow, hear!

If you love me in doubt,

You will pass away as the light goes out.”
