陳寅恪詩選 ─ 貧女
陳寅恪 ( 1890~1969 )
綺羅高價等珠璣，白疊雖廉限敢違；
幸有阿婆花布被，挑燈裁作入時衣。
──選自《陳寅恪全集》

A Penniless Girl
Chen Yinke (1890 - 1969)
English translation: Zhi Yue
Beautiful silk fabrics are as expensive as pearls,
While inexpensive cotton batting is not sold.
How fortunate there’s still granny’s calico quilt,
Lighting a lamp, cutting it into fashionable clothes.
── from Chen Yinke Quanji (Complete Works of Chen Yinke)
