毛詩:「《》,文公國人不齒。」



女子父母兄弟

There is a rainbow in the east,
And no one dares to point to it.
When a girl goes away [from her home],
She separates from her parents and brothers.

西女子兄弟父母

In the morning [a rainbow] rises in the west,
And [only] during the morning is there rain.
When a girl goes away [from her home],
She separates from her brothers and parents.

不知

This person
Has her heart only on being married.
Greatly is she untrue to herself,
And does not recognize [the law of] her lot.
