赏析：端午节诗词

《浣溪沙·端午》

宋 苏轼

轻汗微微透碧纨，

The faint sweats soak your verdant silk gently.

明朝端午浴芳兰。

Tomorrow is 5 May you take a bath sweetly.

流香涨腻满晴川。

All flowing creams cover on the river slightly.

彩线轻缠红玉臂，

The colorful strings wrap your vivid arm softly,

小符斜挂绿云鬟。

Little amulet hungs up green bun obliquely.

佳人相见一千年。

We mate love forever and grow old leisurely.

本诗描写了妇女欢度端午佳节的情景。上篇描述她们节日前进行的各种准备，下篇刻画她们按照民间风俗，彩线缠玉臂，小符挂云鬟，互致节日的祝贺。

《七绝·屈原》

毛泽东

屈子当年赋楚骚，

The respected Qu wrote "Chu Sao" in those years,

手中握有杀人刀。

And had a killing knife in his hand.

艾萧太盛椒兰少，

The mugworts were too luxuriant while peppers and bluegrasses too few,

一跃冲向万里涛。

So he jumped up, plunging into the vast expanse of surging water.

白话翻译：屈原当时写下名篇离骚，手中没有刀却发挥了战斗作用。当时楚国奸佞小人多贤德之士太少，只能在悲愤和绝望投入汨罗江。
