诗经国风之周南第二篇英语翻译

　　葛覃 ge tan

　　葛之覃兮、施于中谷。

　　維葉萋萋、黃鳥于飛。

　　集于灌木、其鳴喈喈。

　　葛之覃兮、施于中谷。

　　維葉莫莫、是刈是濩。

　　為絺為綌、服之無斁。

　　言告師氏、言告言歸。

　　薄污我私、薄澣我衣。

　　害澣害否、歸寧父母 。

　　how the dolichos spread itself out ,

　　extending to the middle of the valley !

　　its leaves were luxuriant ;

　　the yellow birds flew about ,

　　and collected on the thickly growing trees ,

　　their pleasant notes resounding far .

　　how the dolichos spread itself out ,

　　extending to the middle of the valley !

　　its leaves were luxuriant and dense .

　　i cut it and i boiled it ,

　　and made both fine cloth and coarse ,

　　which i will wear without getting tired of it .

　　i have told the matron ,

　　who will announce that i am going to see my parents .

　　i will wash my private clothes clean ,

　　and i will rinse my robes .

　　which need to be rinsed , which do not ?

　　i am going back to visit my parents.
