The Trending Tone----Slow Slower Slowest

I translated the ancient Chinese poem ----Shengshengman that wrote by LI Qingzhao in Song dynasty.

 

The Trending Tone

Slow Slower Slowest

 

Having to seek something

That vital in my brain

 

Unwilling to fell something

That chill or still

 

Sadness

Unhappiness

Wretchedness

 

Soon cold then warm

That the most thorny to bear

 

Two or three bottles of light wine

How can they whip in?

The swift evening wind

That blowing gale with dusk air

 

To see the wild geese flying away

How somber of the scenery

Remind me of old-timey

 

Thousands of pieces of chrysanthemums

Covering on the ground

Who can come to pick them up?

 

Torpidly

Melancholy

Languorously

Who can come to sooth me?

 

Standing by the window with emaciation

Only loneliness stays by my sides 

How could I face the coming dark night?

 

The mild rain dropping through phoenix trees

Tic-tac, Ticktack

Drizzle in the dusk

The rain drizzles

As twilight grizzles

 

Oh, the scene I stay

How should I say?

My heart bay

Not only

One sad way
