《节妇吟》这是一首具有双层面内涵的唐诗精品。在文字层面上，它描写了一位忠于丈夫的妻子，经过思想斗争后终于拒绝了一位多情男子的追求，守住了妇道；在喻义的层面上，它表达了作者忠于朝廷、不被藩镇高官拉拢、收买的决心。

《节妇吟》
张籍（唐）
君知妾有夫，赠妾双明珠。
感君缠绵意，系在红罗孺。
妾家高楼连苑起，良人执戟明光里。
知君用心如日月，事夫誓拟同生死。
还君明珠双泪垂，恨不相逢未嫁时。

【译文】
你明知我已经有了丈夫，还偏要送给我一对明珠。
我心中感激你情意缠绵，把明珠系在我红罗短衫。
我家的高楼就连著皇家的花园，我丈夫拿著长戟在皇宫里值班。
虽然知道你是真心朗朗无遮掩，我侍奉丈夫发誓要生死共患难。
归还你的双明珠我两眼泪涟涟，遗憾没有遇到你在我未嫁之前。

Reply of a Chaste Wife
You know I love my husband best,
Yet send me two bright pears still.
I hang them within my red silk vest,
So grateful I’m for your good will.
You see my house o’erlooks the garden and
My husband guards the palace, halberd in hand.
I know your heart as noble as the sun in the skies,
But I have sworn to serve my husband all my life.
With your twin pears I send back
two tears from my eyes.
Why did we not meet before I was made a wife.

REPLY OF A CHASTE WIFE
君知妾有夫， Knowing clearly I’ve got husband,
赠妾双明珠。 Still twin pearls you sent to my hand.
感君缠绵意， Deeply touched by your love dear,
系在红罗襦。 I kept them in my red silk wear.
妾家高楼连苑起，Where we live is a mansion mighty,
良人执戟明光里。While my man is guarding his majesty.
知君用心如日月，Bright as sun and moon your love to me,
事夫誓拟同生死。Faithful to my husband should I be.
还君明珠双泪垂，Returning the pearls with my tears running,
恨不相逢未嫁时！Why not met we before my wedding!
