诗经中英今文对译音画（64）

木瓜（卫风）

投我以木瓜，报之以琼琚。匪报也，永以为好也！

投我以木桃，报之以琼瑶。匪报也，永以为好也！

投我以木李，报之以琼玖。匪报也，永以为好也！

MU GUA

Shi Jing (Book of Odes) THE ODES OF WEI

    There was presented to me a papaya, And I returned for it a beautiful Ju-gem; Not as a return for it, But that our friendship might be lasting.

    There was presented to me a peach, And I returned for it a beautiful Yao-gem; Not as a return for it, But that our friendship might be lasting.

    There was presented to me a plum, And I returned for it a beautiful Jiu-gem; Not as a return for it, But that our friendship might be lasting.

[今译]

你用木瓜送给我，我用美玉回报你。美玉不单是回报，也是为求永相好。

你用木桃送给我，我用琼瑶作回报。琼瑶不单是回报，也是为求永相好。

你用木李送给我，我用琼玖作回报。琼玖不单是回报，也是为求永相好。
