双语诗歌翻译|郑畋-《马嵬坡》

《马嵬坡》是唐代诗人郑畋的作品。此诗以“马嵬事变”作为背景。前两句写唐玄宗回马长安，杨贵妃却已死。尽管山河依旧，然而却难忘旧情。“云雨难忘”与“日月新”对举，表达玄宗欣喜与长恨兼有的复杂心理。后两句以南朝陈后主偕宠妃躲在景阳宫井中，终为隋兵所虏的事，对比唐玄宗马嵬坡赐杨贵妃自缢的举动，对玄宗既有体谅，也有婉讽。

《马嵬坡》 郑畋

玄宗回马杨妃死，云雨难忘日月新。
终是圣明天子事，景阳宫井又何人？

The Crown retuned on horseback but his lady Yang was dead;
The throne's saved but her passion tied his heart up like a thread.
It's of wise ruler's matter after all. None else can tell.
Otherwise, one more king'd, perhaps, have jumped in Sun Court's well.
