如夢令

李清照

昨夜雨疏風驟，

濃睡不消殘酒。

試問卷簾人，

卻道海棠依舊。

知否?知否?

應(yīng)是綠肥紅瘦。

To the Tune of Like a Dream

Li Qingzhao

Last night a sprinkling of rain,

a violent wind.

After a deep sleep, still not recovered

from the lingering effect of wine,

I inquired of the one rolling up the screen;

But the answer came: "The cherry-apple blossoms

are still the same."

"Oh, don't you know, don't you know?

The red must be getting thin,

while the green is becoming plump."
