馮小青,名玄玄,字小青。明萬歷年間南直隸揚州(今屬江蘇)人。嫁杭州豪公子馮通為妾。諱同姓,僅以字稱。工詩詞,解音律。為大婦所妒,徙居孤山別業(yè)。親戚勸其改嫁,不從,凄怨成疾,命畫師畫像自奠而卒,年十八。近現(xiàn)代著名學者潘光旦先生曾著同名傳記《馮小青》。
馮小青·《春水照影》
新妝竟與畫圖爭,知在昭陽第幾名?
瘦影自憐秋水照,卿須憐我我憐卿。
My Reflection in Spring Waters
Feng Xiaoqing
After making up I look like a lady in a painting;
I wonder what chance I have of becoming a queen.
I betake myself to spring waters and look at my lean reflection:
Oh my shadow, you must love me as much as I love you.
