《蝶恋花》
欧阳修

庭院深深深几许？
杨柳堆烟，帘幕无重数。
玉勒雕鞍游冶处，楼高不见章台路。
雨横风狂三月暮，门掩黄昏，无计留春住。
泪眼问花花不语，乱红飞过秋千去。

【翻译】
上片写浓雾弥漫的的早晨。女主人身处幽深的庭院，帘幕无重数，周围烟柳丛丛簇簇，孤独寂寞之情可以想见。她为何忧愁呢？是因为她猜想薄情郎这时又骑马到歌楼妓馆寻欢作乐去了。下片写狂风暴雨的黄昏。三月的暮春天气，风狂雨骤，又是黄昏时刻，女主人只得掩门独守空房，不禁发出惜春的哀叹，所惜的既是春光，也是她的青春年华。因花而有泪，因泪而问花，花不仅不语，反而纷纷飘落，不去理会她，还有意似的飘飞过秋千而去。人越伤心，花越恼人，语浅意深，自然浑成，耐人寻味。

TUNE:BUTTERFLIES　LINGERING　OVER　FLOWERS
by许渊冲
Deep,deep the courtyard where he is,so deep
It's veiled by smokelike willows heap on heap,
By curtain on curtain and screen on screen.
Leaving his saddle and bridle,there he has been
Merrymaking.From my tower his trace can't be seen.

The third moon now,the wind and rain are raging late;
At dusk I bar the gate,
But I can't bar in spring.
My tearful eyes ask flowers,but they fail to bring
An answer;I see red blossoms fly o'er the swing.
