内人生日

[清]吴嘉纪

潦倒[1]丘园[2]二十秋，

亲炊葵藿[3]慰余愁。

绝无暇日[4]临青镜[5]，

频过凶年[6]到白头。

海气荒凉门有燕，

溪光摇荡屋如舟。

不能沽酒[7]持相祝，

依旧归来向尔谋[8]。

[2]丘园：家园，乡村。

[3]葵藿：均为菜名。

[4]暇日：闲暇的时间。

[5]临青镜：照镜子打扮自己。

[6]凶年：苦难的日子。

[7]沽酒：买酒。

[8]谋：商量。

On My Wife’s Birthday

Wu Jiaji

For twenty years in thatched cot we’ve lived poor life;

To cook my meal and ease my grief I have my wife.

She has no time to make up before mirror bright;

We’ve often passed hard times until our hair grows white.

Only swallows perch on our dreary seaside beam;

Our cottage trembles like a boat on rippling stream.

I cannot buy wine to celebrate her birthday;

I still come to consult with her on what she’ll say.
