Roundabout Morning Glory
Roundabout Morning Glory Star, Kyaukgyao River Han Girl.
Fibrous hands, Zaza lane machine.
All day long, weeping like rain.
The river is clear and shallow, how many times have they gone?
In the middle of the water, the pulse is silent.
Translation:
The distant morning glory is bright, and the distant Vega star is bright.
The weaver girl waved her white hands, and the loom rattled incessantly.
All day longing, heartless weaving, she cried pear blossoms with rain, tears like rain.
[Between them] is a shallow milky way, not far away.
However, on both sides of the clear Milky Way, with a pulse of emotion, it is relatively speechless.
This poem superficially describes the morning glory and the weaver girl separated by silver men, but in fact uses affectionate brushstrokes to describe the couple in the human world who are suffering from separation.
At the beginning, the two sentences of "Roundabout Morning Glory Star, Kyauk kyauk River Han Nu" appropriately use the techniques of overlapping words and intertextuality, and the "Roundabout" and "Kyaukyao" extremely words morning glory star and Vega star are far apart, bright and clean. The ingenious and novelty of the concept is natural, and the skillful brushwork is evident.
Then, "Fibrous hands, Zaza machines." The four sentences of "all day long are not chapters, and the weeping is like rain" vividly shapes the amorous artistic image of the weaver girl: she weaves all day long, but because of the unbearable lovesickness, she cannot weave it, and she is more and more sad. Among them, the word "lane" is the meaning of play and drama, which is used very delicately, and the use of words and sentences is amazing. The weaver girl's hands are tender, but she has no intention of weaving, just bored to stroke the machine, full of thoughts make her tears like raindrops, and the curls slip down her face. This sad image is touching, and the inner emotions of the Weaver Girl make people sigh endlessly.
The last four sentences are "The river is clear and shallow, how many times have they been lost?" In the midst of a flood of water, the pulse is not silent", which is not only the sigh of the poet, but also the doubts of the author, which is thought-provoking and intriguing, and triggers the reader's association and imagination. The silver man is shallow, the morning glory weaver girl is not far away, why is it only a water apart, but it is difficult to tell each other about the intestines? What is the deeper reason behind this? Every reader will have a unique answer in mind.
The narrative of this poem is exquisite, the feelings are deep, the characters are three-dimensional and full, the images are vivid and vivid, and the emotions of acacia are deep. In the poem, the stacking technique is worth mentioning, the whole word is a total of ten sentences, and the six sentences use overlapping words, "迢迢", "Kyaukyao", "Fiber", "Zaza", "Yingying", "Pulse" and other words make the poem rhyme harmonious, very rhythmic and musical. The ingenious conception complements the beautiful rhythm, and while successfully shaping the beautiful and detached image of the woman, it also makes the expression of emotion smooth and natural, is this not the credit for the exquisite use of the rhetorical technique of stacking words?
