【佚名】《氓》
氓之蚩蚩，抱布贸丝。匪来贸丝，来即我谋。送子涉淇，至于顿丘。匪我愆期，子无良媒。将子无怒，秋以为期。 乘彼垝垣，以望复关。不见复关，泣涕涟涟。既见复关，载笑载言。尔卜尔筮，体无咎言。以尔车来，以我贿迁。
桑之未落，其叶沃若。于嗟鸠兮，无食桑葚！于嗟女兮，无与士耽！士之耽兮，犹可说也。女之耽兮，不可说也。 桑之落矣，其黄而陨。自我徂尔，三岁食贫。淇水汤汤，渐车帷裳。女也不爽，士贰其行。士也罔极，二三其德。
三岁为妇，靡室劳矣；夙兴夜寐，靡有朝矣。言既遂矣，至于暴矣。兄弟不知，咥其笑矣。静言思之，躬自悼矣。 及尔偕老，老使我怨。淇则有岸，隰则有泮。总角之宴，言笑晏晏。信誓旦旦，不思其反。反是不思，亦已焉哉！
There was a man who looked faithful with rolls of silk in his arms. Actually, he did not really come to exchange the silk, but to find a chance to discuss our future. I walked with him, crossing Qishui to Dunqiu. Though, I did not want to delay the agreed date and refuse to marry, but a good matchmaker was not found. Please do not get angry, let the marriage be in autumn. I climbed up the collapsed wall and stared at Fuguan, where he lived in. If it was unable to see, I cried, and the tears fell down. If it was able to sight, I smiled and spoke to myself. When I went to ask the god, the divinated result was not unlucky. Please come and bring a carriage, I will take my dowry away.
When the leaves of mulberry tree do not drop, they are as shiny as water. Oh those turtledoves, do not be greedy for mulberries. Hey young girls, do not indulge with men. Men can come off. Women can not get rid of. When the leaves of mulberry tree do drop, they are withered and yellow. Since I got married, I endured a poor life for many years. Qishui lifted waves, and the water sprayed the curtains wet, which was on the carriage. I did not anything wrong, but his behavior was inconsistent. The morality of him may not set standard, and his promises changed repeatedly.
After entering into marriage for many years, I did innumerable housework. For getting up early and going to bed late, the days cannot be calculated. Maybe his wish was fulfilled, he gradually became violent towards me. Brothers did not know what happened to me, they laughed when we met. Everytime I calm down and think carefully, I can only be sad alone. We had an appointment to live together until old age, but now it made me resentful. Though Qishui is surging, it has the shore, and the mire is wide, it ends somewhere. Thinking back to how happy we were during the childhood and how tender we were talking and laughing. When the oath of each other was spoken, I did not wonder he will break it. Please do not memorize, it is over!
