戲譯唐代詩人杜牧的《赤壁》
漢語原文:《赤壁》(唐杜牧)
折戟沉沙鐵未銷,自將磨洗認前朝。
東風不與周郎便,銅雀春深鎖二喬。
曹雪葵譯文:
A rusted helbard broken from under the sand,
recognized as of the previous northern land.
Without the timely east wind for the fire,
the enemy's battleships wouldn't cower,
thus the wife of the younger general Zhou, so fair,
would have to entertain duke Cao,in his leisure tower.
豌博譯文
Broken weapon buried deep in sand with iron not rusted away,
cleaned with abrasives for identification of an earlier dynasty.
Should that east wind have not blown in General Zhou's favor,
his bride might be locked deep to serve in Enemy's headquarter.
