《詩經》是中國第一部詩歌總集，彙集了從西周初年到春秋中葉500多年間的詩歌305篇，在中國文學史上具有崇高的地位和深遠的影響，奠定了我國詩歌的優良傳統。
一句句來自遠古的吟唱，攜帶了時間的厚重與曲調的輕靈，穿過三千年的時空與後人相會，如撫潤心靈一陣微風，如沁人心脾的一汪清泉，如漫天紛揚的一場花雨，帶著清透的香氣，婉轉飄進了心底。
“關關雎鸠，在河之洲。窈窕淑女，君子好逑。”
“蒹葭蒼蒼，白露爲霜。所謂伊人，在水一方。”
“桃之夭夭，灼灼其華。之子于歸，宜其室家。”
這些詩句，從讀過的那一刻開始，這一生都不會忘卻。那麽，如果要把這些詩句翻譯成英文，你會怎麽翻譯呢？我們來看看翻譯大師們是怎麽翻譯的吧！
《關雎》節選關關雎鸠，在河之洲。
窈窕淑女，君子好逑。
By riverside are cooing,
A pair of turtle doves.
A good young man is wooing,
A fair maiden he loves.
《蒹葭》節選蒹葭蒼蒼，白露爲霜。
所謂伊人，在水一方。
Bright,bright the reed，
with frost dews blend.
Where is she l need,
at river's end.
《桃夭》節選桃之夭夭，灼灼其華。
之子于歸，宜其室家。
The peach tree beams so red,
How brilliant are its flowers!
The maiden's getting wed,
Good for the nuptial bowers.
《擊鼓》節選死生契闊，與子成說。
執子之手，與子偕老。
Meet or part, live or die;
We made oath,you and I.
When can our hands we hold
And live till we grow old?
《采葛》節選彼采葛兮，一日不見，如三月兮。
彼采蕭兮，一日不見，如三秋兮。
To gather vine goes she, l miss her whom I do not see, one day seems longer than three months.
To gather reed goes she, l miss her whom l do not see, one day seems long as three seasons.
《木瓜》節選投我以木瓜，報之以瓊琚。
匪報也，永以爲好也！
She gave a quince to me;
I paid her back a stone.
Repayment it can’t be,
But a sign of love, love alone.
《風雨》節選風雨如晦，雞鳴不已。
既見君子，雲胡不喜。
Gloomy wind and rain blend;
The cocks crow without end.
When I have seen my dear,
How full I feel of cheer!
《無衣》節選豈曰無衣？與子同袍。
王于興師，修我戈矛。與子同仇。
Are you not battle-dressed?
Let's share the plate for breast!
We shall go up the line.
Let's make your lances shine!
Your foe is mine.
《采薇》節選昔我往矣，楊柳依依。
今我來思，雨雪霏霏。
行道遲遲，載渴載饑。
我心傷悲，莫知我哀！
When I left here, Willows shed tear.
I come back now, Snow bends the bough.
Long, long the way; Hard, hard the day;
My grief overflows. Who knows? who knows?
《野有蔓草》節選野有蔓草，零露漙兮。
有美一人，清揚婉兮。
邂逅相遇，適我願兮。
Across the field creeps grass,
On whose blades the dews gleam.
There comes a bonnie lass,
Whose watery eyes beam.
As this beauty I meet,
My heart feels fondly sweet.
