美丽西安 梦回大唐
Charming Xi'an: Dreaming Back to the Tang Dynasty
It is evening/ and the mall is dazzlingly lit/ and crowded with people.// It is time for Miss Roly-Poly's performance/ under Dayan Pagoda.// Her body is at one with the roly-poly,/ swaying with its every rotation,/ her ornate headdress /and beautiful dress/ evoking the classical charm of the Tang Dynasty. // Every set of eyes in the audience/ is entranced by her graceful dance.//
Each time she nearly grazes the ground,/ but then turns and lifts her body/ back into the air /with amazing elegance and speed. / The ribbon tied to her red dress flutters in the wind,/ the smile still blooming on her face.// She coyly taps the audience's hands with her fan, / nodding her head in greeting and conjuring the charm and grace/ of a classic Chinese beauty from days of old, /with a plaintive look on her brow and a grin./
“Miss Roly-Poly" is the personification/ of ancient Xi'an's undying charm/-a reflection of the appreciation/ Xi'an people feel for classical aesthetics.//

篇目译文
大雁塔下，夜幕中的大唐不夜城灯火绚烂，人山人海。这时候便到了她的表演时间。站在不倒翁上，她的身体仿佛与不倒翁融为一体，随着不倒翁的转动而摇摆，雍容的头饰和华美的衣裙呈现出一副盛唐气象，观众的目光被她那优美婀娜的舞姿牢牢吸引。
她每次即将接近地面的时候，都能优雅转身，整个人迅速抬起。红色襦裙上系的丝带迎风飘荡，笑容在她的脸上绽放。这时，她还会用团扇轻拍观众的手，点头致意，一颦一笑间将中国古典美人的妩媚娇羞演绎得淋漓尽致。
不倒翁小姐姐演出散发的正是西安古城的不朽魅力，是人们对东方古典美学的呼唤与追求。
