Are you going to Scarborough Fair
你要去斯卡博罗市场？
（潇湘游子试译）
你要去斯卡博罗市场？
请代我问候一位姑娘，
她叫茉莉、丁香或者玫瑰、牡丹，
她曾经占据了我的心房。
让茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
给我做件细麻衣裳，
不用针线，也不用织纺，
那她才是我深爱的姑娘。
让茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
在一张梧桐线纺麻布上，
织上五彩鲜花一篮，
那她才是我深爱的姑娘。
让茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
在一口枯井里洗衣裳，
井里雨水干涸，泉水不泛，
那她才是我深爱的姑娘。
让茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
为我找到一英亩土壤，
须在海浪和沙滩之上，
那她才是我深爱的姑娘。
让茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
耕田犁地只用羔羊，
外加播撒堤北的种粮，
那她才是我深爱的姑娘。
让茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
收割时用皮革代替镰刀的锋芒，
用一束花将所有的麦粒盛装，
那她才是我深爱的姑娘。
告诉茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
若她说这一切太难太难，
但她至少会尽力去试探，
那她就是我深爱的姑娘。
告诉茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
爱情总会面临各种艰难，
但不会超越诚心的向往，
我要知道她就是我深爱的姑娘。
茉莉丁香玫瑰牡丹，
亲爱的，当你解决了那些疑难，
就赶快过来与我为伴，
真心爱你，我的心肝。
