Thou art not so unkind
As man's ingratitude(忘恩負(fù)義) ;
Thy(你的) tooth is not so keen(敏銳的,渴望的)
Because thou art not seen,
Although thy breath be rude.
Heigh ho! sing heigh ho! unto(到,直到) the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning(假裝) , most loving mere folly;
Then, heigh ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.
Freeze, freeze, thou bitter sky,
That dost not bite so nigh(在附近的,直接的)
As benefits forgot:
Though thou the waters warp(彎曲,偏見) ,
Thy sting(刺痛,諷刺) is not so sharp
As friendship remember'd not.
Heigh-ho! sing heigh-ho! unto the green holly:
Most friendship is feigning, most loving mere folly(愚蠢,荒唐事) ;
Then, heigh-ho! the holly!
This life is most jolly.
不懼冬風(fēng)凜冽,
風(fēng)威遠(yuǎn)難遽及
人世之寡情;
其為氣也雖厲,
其牙尚非甚銳,
風(fēng)體本無形。
噫嘻乎!且向冬青歌一曲:
友交皆虛妄,恩愛癡人逐。
噫嘻乎冬青!
可樂惟此生。
不愁冱天冰雪,
其寒尚難遽及
受施而忘恩;
風(fēng)皺滿池碧水,
利刺尚難比
捐舊之友人。
噫嘻乎!且向冬青歌一曲:
友交皆虛妄,恩愛癡人逐。
噫嘻乎冬青!
可樂惟此生。
