《國風·召南·摽有梅》是周代著名文學(xué)作品《詩經(jīng)》中的詩歌。此詩與《桃夭》,都是反映女子婚嫁的詩篇?!短邑病烦錆M了對妙齡女郎婚嫁及時的贊美,故詩之情趣歡快;此詩流露出待字女子唯恐青春被耽誤的怨思,故詩之情意急迫。
《詩經(jīng)--國風·召南·摽有梅》
摽有梅,
其實七兮!
求我庶士,
迨其吉兮!
摽有梅,
其實三兮!
求我庶士,
迨其今兮!
摽有梅,
頃筐堲之!
求我庶士,
迨其謂之!
Plop, Fall the Plums
Plop, fall the plums;
Of ten on the tree, seven remain;
Let those who would court me
Come before the lucky day slips by.
Plop, fall the plums;
Of ten on the tree, three remain;
For those who would court me
Now is the time!
Plop, fall the plums;
Place them in flat baskets;
Let those who would court me
Come to the gathering!
