毛泽东·《赠丁玲（1936年12月）》英译

壁上红旗飘落照，<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

西风漫卷孤城。

保安人物一时新。

洞中开宴会，

招待出牢人。 　

纤笔一枝谁与似？

三千毛瑟精兵。

阵图开向陇山东。

昨天文小姐，

今日武将军。

To Ding Ling

December 1936

The red banners on the wall flutter in the sinking afterglow,

Over the solitary town whirls sweepingly the westerly blast.

The characters in Bao’an are at once jubilant.

In the cave dwelling is tended a banquet,

To regale the very soul who was once imprisoned as a convict.

Who bear comparison with the slender pen?

Three thousand crack troops with mausers as their equipment.

The planned battle array is deployed toward the east on the Long Mount.

A literate lady yesterday,

And a martial general at the present.
