牡丹亭（节选）

            汤显祖

原来姹紫嫣红开遍，

似这般都付与断井颓垣。

良辰美景奈何天，

赏心乐事谁家院？

朝飞暮卷，

云霞翠轩；

雨丝风片，

烟波画船。

锦屏人

忒看的这韶光贱！

The Peony Pavilion (Except)

                                      Tang Xianzu

A riot of deep purple and bright red.

What pity on the ruins they overspread!

Why does Heaven give us brilliant day and dazzling sight?
Whose house could boast of a sweeter delight?

At dawn on high rainbow clouds fly;

At dusk the green pavilion’s seen.

In misty waves mingle the threads of rain;

The wind swells sails of painted boats in vain.

For those behind the screens

Make light of vernal scenes.
