【诗经•国风•第一节 周南】10.《汝坟》

汝坟
A Wife Waiting

遵彼汝坟，伐其条枚。未见君子，惄如调饥。
（沿着汝河大堤走，
采伐山楸那枝条。
还没见到我夫君，
忧如忍饥在清早。）
Along the raised bank green
I cut down twigs and wait.
My lord cannot be seen,
I feel a hunger great.

遵彼汝坟，伐其条肄。既见君子，不我遐弃。
（沿着汝河大堤走，
采伐山楸那余枝。
终于见到我夫君，
请莫再将我远弃。）
Along the raised bank green
I cut fresh sprig and spray.
My lord can now be seen,
I feel not cast away.

鲂鱼赪尾，王室如毁。虽则如毁，父母孔迩。
（鳊鱼尾巴色赤红，
王室事务急如火。
虽然有事急如火，
父母穷困谁养活。）
The bream has fire-red tail,
My lord has fire-red eye.
He fires to no avail,
Our parents are near-by.
