雙語丨詩畫節(jié)氣之“立夏”
立夏時節(jié)，梅子的酸澀還留在牙齒上，芭蕉的樹影映著窗紗。
At the beginning of summer, the poet could still sense the sourness of plums left in his mouth and saw the banana leaves casting shadows on the window.
午睡醒來，百無聊賴，詩人起身看孩子們在庭院里捉柳花。
Waking up from a nap, the poet had nothing else to do but rise to watch the children catching catkins in the courtyard.
柳絮飛來飛去，孩子們歡聲笑語，詩人的童心也被喚起。
As the catkins flew around, the children played and laughed, arousing the poet’s childhood memories.
閑居初夏午睡起
楊萬里
梅子留酸軟齒牙，芭蕉分綠與窗紗。
日長睡起無情思，閑看兒童捉柳花。
Early Summer Waking from a Nap
Yang Wanli
Plums leave their tartness, weakening my teeth;
Banana fronds lend their green to my gauze window.
On a long day I rise listless from my nap;
Idly I watch children catch willow catkins.
本期節(jié)目選用的詩和畫分別是宋代詩人楊萬里的《閑居初夏午睡起》與明代畫家周臣的《閑看兒童捉柳花句意圖》。
This episode features poem Early Summer Waking from a Nap by Yang Wanli, a poet of the Song Dynasty (1127-1279), and painting Idly I Watch Children Catch Willow Catkins by Zhou Chen of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).
周臣的畫正是圍繞楊萬里詩“閑看兒童捉柳花”一句展開的，將詩中描繪的景色完美地還原了出來，妙趣橫生。
As the catkins flew around, the children played and laughed, arousing the poet’s childhood memories. Zhou Chen’s painting vividly reconstructs the scene depicted in a line of Yang Wanli's poem: “Idly I watch children catch willow catkins.”
