鄘风·蝃

蝃（dì）（dōng）在东，莫之敢指。女子有行，远父母兄弟。

朝（jī）于西，崇朝其雨。女子有行，远兄弟父母。

乃如之人也，怀昏姻也。大无信也，不知命也！

Elopement

A rainbow rose high in the east;

None dared to point to it at least.

I went to wed like others

And left my parents and my brothers.

The morning clouds rose in the west;

The day with rain would then be blest.

I went to wed another

When I left my father and mother.

Did I know I’d be raped by such a man

Who would do whatever he can!

He is a faithless mate.

Is it my fault or fate?

彩虹悬挂在东方，谁敢以手相指？

女子要嫁人，远离父母和兄弟。

彩虹悬挂在西方，雨落了一早晨。

女子要嫁人，远离兄弟和父母。

像这样一个人啊，不按正道来婚配。

完全不管信义名誉，父母教导也不理。
