本书得到邵宁宁教授的授权，同意将其《元曲品读》著作中的45首品读文字部分进行翻译；另外对元曲古文的翻译借鉴了许渊冲先生《元曲三百首》译著的许多思想。在此基础上，查阅了大量的元曲古典文献，以及翻阅并了解每一首元曲作品本身创作时的历史背景及现实意义，在翻译时尽量还原作品本身带来的意境；另外随着时代的变化，历史的沉淀，每一首元曲作品放在当今的时代中有着其独有的魅力，这一点在翻译时也是译者时刻思考的问题。

人月圆 卜居外家东园 元好问重冈已隔红尘断， 村落更年丰。 移居要就， 窗中远岫， 舍后长松。 十年种木， 一年种谷， 都付儿童。 老夫惟有， 醒来明月， 醉后清风。 品读 这首小令，先描述自己“卜居外家”后远离城市，与山林为伴的生活，后则直接叙写在新环境中的平民生活。虽然由于作者年事已高，体力不济，致使“十年种木，一年种谷，都付儿童”，但是却充满着一种心理上的满足，一种与“明月”“清风”相处的和谐与美感。字里行间，蕴含着对当朝统治者的不满情绪，可谓绵里藏针。在写作手法上，对偶工整，骈散结合，节奏铿锵，毫不板滞。 Tune:Man and Moon Moving to My Mothers East Garden Yuan HaowenHill on hill keeps apart the vanity of the world, From this village of a good harvest year I move to come near From window you can see the distant hill, And behind the windowsill the pine-trees Ill leave the trees and fields To the hands of my kins So that, I can do what I will Ill enjoy the moon so bright after awakening, And the refreshing breeze so gentle after drinking Literary Appreciation This song poem first describes the life the speaker led, residing amidst mountains, after moving from the city to the home of the speakers mother, and then directly narrates the civilian life within this new environmentDespite the speakers old age and physical weakness, which leads to “Ill leave the trees and fields to the hands of my kins”, they achieved a profound sense of psychological satisfaction, with harmonious and aesthetic appreciation for the “bright moon” and the “gentle breeze” Implicit in the lines is a sense of discontent towards the ruler of their current dynasty, akin to an iron fist in a velvet glove In terms of writing techniques, the writer skillfully utilized antithesis and combined parallel prose and free prose, giving the song poem a sonorous rhythm 干荷叶 刘秉忠干荷叶， 色苍苍， 老柄风摇荡。 减了清香， 越添黄。 都因昨夜一场霜， 寂寞在秋江上。 品读 这是刘秉忠小令《干荷叶》八首中传诵*广*具代表性的一首。作品开门见山，起头便点出“干荷叶”，并描绘其色彩的浅淡和只剩一“老柄”时的凄凉孤单，接着抒发干荷叶因遭严霜而枯槁寂寞的情景。通篇字数不多，却流畅自然，极富民歌气息。细加品读，似乎在咏物中暗寓着一种失意和潦倒，显得别具韵味。 Tune:Dried Lotus Leaves Liu BingzhongLotus leaves dried Their color turned from green to withered and yellow Their old stems swayed in the wind Because of the yellow dye, they lost fragrance Frost last night chilled their dream Now they look lonely on the autumn stream Literary Appreciation This is the most representative song poem among the total eightDried Lotus Leaves by Liu Bingzhong This work comes straight to the point, beginning with the “dried lotus leaves”, depicting their colors and the sense of desolation and solitude when only one “old stem” remains Then, it portrays a solitary scene of the withered lotus leaves because of the harsh frost Although concise, this work is smooth and natural, replete with the essence of folk songs Upon closer review, it becomes evident that the passage conveys a hidden meaning that suggests both frustration and confusion, which is a combination of emotions with unique charm 节节高 题洞庭鹿角庙壁 卢挚雨晴云散， 满江明月。 风微浪息， 扁舟一叶。 半夜心， 三生梦， 万里别， 闷倚篷窗睡些。 品读 洞庭鹿角庙，未详。这首小令，前四句分别描写雨云、江月、风浪、扁舟之景，展现出一片安详宁静气象，反映出作者生活的平静舒适和内心的安然和谐。后四句则写作者的情绪低沉和清闲无聊。以“半夜心”“三生梦”“万里别”连续突出心理的孤寂，一个“闷倚篷窗睡些”的动作加上无奈的语调，顿使环境冷漠凄清，人物孤苦孑立、形影相吊，生动而深刻地抒发出当时生活于社会底层的知识分子的空虚和苦闷。景虽简淡，情却深长。 Tune:Higher and Higher Written on the wall of Lujiao Temple on Lake Dongting Lu ZhiThe clouds clear away after the rain, The moon cast a bright light over the lake The waves are calm when the wind is light, And a leaf boat is seen at midnight From the bottom of my heart, Of my past life I dream To a distant land I’ll go, Dispirited in the lonesome boat, I’ll rest a slumber brief Literary Appreciation Lujiao Temple on the Dongting Lake, undetailed The first four sentences of this song poem each describes the imagery of rain and clouds, water and moon, winds and waves, and boats, conveying a serene and tranquil ambiance, reflecting the speaker’s calm and comfortable life, as well as their inner peace and harmony Meanwhile, the latter four sentences show a tone characterized by feelings of sadness and languor The theme of psychological loneliness is consistently highlighted through phrases such as “the bottom of my heart,” “past life I dream,” and “to a distant land I’ll go” The action of the speaker, who is described as being “dispirited in the lonesome boat” and taking “a slumber brief,” contributes to the overall sense of helplessness, creating a cold and desolate environment, in which the speaker stood alone This work vividly and profoundly expresses the emptiness and depression experienced by intellectuals living at the lower echelons of society during that era Despite the simplicity of the scenary described, it has a profound and long-lasting emotional impact
