无名氏《四换头  相思》 -英译元曲-中英双语赏析-经典翻译

四换头
 相思

无名氏

两叶眉头，

怎锁相思万种愁？

从他别后，

无心挑绣[1]，

这般证候[2]，

天知道和天瘦[3]。

注释：

[1]挑绣：刺绣。

[2]证候：模样。

[3]和天瘦：一天比一天瘦。

 （I）Lovesickness

Anonymous

With eyebrows like two willow leaves

I frown, but I can’t drown my lovesickness that grieves,

Since he went away,

Absent-minded, I do embroidery all day.

If Heaven knew the state of mind I’m in,

It would also grow thin.
