唐诗三百首英译 张祜：集灵台之二

七言绝句

张祜

集灵台之二

虢国夫人承主恩， 平明骑马入宫门。

却嫌脂粉污颜色， 淡扫蛾眉朝。

ON THE TERRACE OF ASSEMBLED ANGELS II

The Emperor has sent for Lady Guoguo.

In the morning， riding toward the palace-gate，

Disdainful of the paint that might have marred her beauty，

To meet him she smooths her two moth-tiny eyebrows.
