郑谷
春风用意匀颜色，
销得[1]携觞[2]与赋诗。
秾[3]丽最宜新著雨，
娇娆全在欲开时。
莫愁[4]粉黛临窗懒，
梁广[5]丹青点笔迟。
朝醉暮吟看不足，
羡他蝴蝶宿深枝。
注释：
[1] 销得：这里是值得的意思。
[2] 觞（shānɡ）：古代称酒杯。
[3] 秾（nónɡ）：草木茂盛。
[4] 莫愁：古代一个洛阳女子的名字。
[5] 梁广：中唐著名的花鸟画家，李群玉《长沙元门寺张员外壁画》称：“世人只爱黄花鸟，无处不知梁广名。”
To the Crabapple Flower
Zheng Gu
The vernal breeze has brightened your color so fine;
You stir my mind to write a verse before good wine.
With rain impearled on you, more beautiful you grow;
You’re all the more bewitching when about to blow.
The fair forgets to powder her face before you;
The painter hesitates to draw your picture new.
Nor verse nor wine’s enough to show delight in me;
I envy butterflies perching deep in your tree.
The artist’s attitude reveals the beauty of the crabapple flower.
