译文及注释
译文
院落里秋千摇曳,重重的帘幕低垂,闲暇时在华丽的门上挥笔题。墙里佳人犹如出墙红杏雨后花,门外游子好像绿杨飞絮随风飘。
音讯断了,犹如飞逝的轻云,不知她身处何方?就做个襄王觅神女的好梦让我归去。紫骝马还认得旧时游玩路迹,嘶叫着跑过了画桥东边路。
注释
①彩笔:江淹有五彩笔,因而文思敏捷。
②襄王春梦:实为先王梦之误传。“先王”游高唐,梦神女荐枕,临去,神女有“旦为行云,暮为行雨”语。(见宋玉《高唐赋序》)
③紫骝:本来指一种马,这里泛指骏马。

Inside the walls, the rain has left over some red apricot flowers, outside the door, the poplar fluffs fly after the wind.
If faith in dawn clouds (a girl named Xiaoyun) is lost, where to go? I have to make me free from king Xiangwang's springtime dream.
Purple Steed, you know the old paths; neighing you cross a painted bridge on the way across the eastern banks.
