第33章 She Sings an Old Song

A lady of the palace these twenty years，

She has lived here a thousand① miles② from her home.

Yet ask her for this song and， with the first few words of it，

See how she tries to hold③ back her tears.

② milen. 英里；一英里赛跑

③ holdvt. 抑制，约束；握着；抓住；夹住

何满子

张祜

故国三千里，

深宫二十年。

一声何满子，

双泪落君前。
