三哥是猛男-《诗经》之大叔于田英译
三哥是猛男,他驾着马车在湿地里奔驰,惊起野鸭一片,那四匹马奋蹄奔腾,如同他的舞伴。草深处,三哥燃起一堆烈火,猛虎受惊,正想夺路逃窜,他甩掉衣衫,赤膊向前,拳脚齐出,老虎一阵悲鸣便命丧黄泉。他要把它献给王侯,因为三哥是国家的好儿男。三哥哟,以后可别这么干,要是让老虎咬伤了,妹妹我可怎么办?

The Lad Goes to Hunt
The lad goes to hunt;
His shay runs amain.
The lad keeps prying front.
The tetrad dance the rein;
He searches the marshland,
And there he makes a fire.
He kills a tiger by hand
And sends it to the sire.
My dear, stop doing so
A tiger may hurt you.
The lad goes to hunt;
His steeds sheen yellow.
The mid ones leap front;
The side ones fast follow.
He searches the marshland,
And there he makes a fire.
He’s a great shooting hand,
His driving skill is higher.
He may keep the horse still
And let them run at will.
The lad goes to hunt;
His steeds he does curb.
The two mid ones bound front
The side ones look superb.
He searches the marshland,
And there he makes a fire.
The steeds now slow down and
Few arrows he’ll require.
He lets the last shaft go
And then draws back his bow
