雙語詩歌翻譯|江奎-《茉莉》

江奎，惠安（今屬福建）人。理宗淳祐七年（一二四七）進(jìn)士。嘗為泉州教授。事見明嘉靖《惠安縣志》卷一二。今錄詩二首。這是江奎寫的第二首歌詠茉莉花的詩。詩人在短短四句二十八字的小詩中，沒有一句直寫茉莉花之美，但讀后卻給讀者留下了極為深刻、難忘的印象。可見作者之匠心。

江奎·《茉莉》

雖無艷態(tài)驚群目，幸有清香壓九秋。
應(yīng)是仙娥宴歸去，醉來掉下玉搔頭。

Jasmine

Albeit she fails to surprise the multitudinous fairs due to lack of charming complexion,
Luckily, her delicate fragrance suffices to overwhelm all the fall florets through its permeation.
This very flower must be, upon the return of fairy Chang E from a feast of jubilation.
An incarnate jade hairpin lost unaware in her intoxication.
