介绍（中）	这幅非凡的画作代表了一群街头表演者在圣灰星期三前三天的忏悔节之际上演了一部喜剧民间戏剧《肮脏的新娘》（De Vuile Bruid）。从破旧的婚礼帐篷里领出来的粗鲁、衣衫褴褛的新娘是妮莎，而带她出去的跃马夫是莫普苏斯。对他们婚姻的描述来自罗马诗人维吉尔的第八节，但也出现在几本当代谚语书中，其中它被用来表示一个颠倒的世界。在勃鲁盖尔的绘画之后的这幅版画中，由彼得·范德海登雕刻并由 Hieronymus Cock 于 1570 年出版，在图像下方添加了拉丁文铭文，翻译为"莫普苏斯嫁给尼萨，我们恋人可能不希望的事情"——即任何事情都可能发生。勃鲁盖尔和考克的听众中博学的成员肯定会欣赏古代语录与忏悔节（Shrovetide）的当代民间习俗的联系，忏悔节是四旬期前的节日。这幅画原本是用来设计木刻的，但由于未知原因，在左上角进行切割后，块的雕刻被放弃了。据推测，正是勃鲁盖尔于 1569 年去世，将设计带到了出版商手中，并作为版画取得了成果。
介绍（英）	This remarkable drawing represents a group of street performers putting on a comic folk play, The Dirty Bride (De Vuile Bruid) on the occasion of Shrovetide, the three days before Ash Wednesday. The coarse, bedraggled bride being led from a shabby nuptial tent is Nisa, while the prancing groom who leads her out is Mopsus. The account of their marriage derives from the Eighth Eclogue of the Roman poet Virgil, but also appeared in several contemporary books of proverbs, in which it was used to indicate a world turned upside down. In this print after Bruegel's drawing, which was engraved by Pieter van der Heyden and published by Hieronymus Cock in 1570, a Latin inscription was added below the image that translates "Mopsus marries Nisa, what may not we lovers hope for"—i.e., anything can happen. The learned members of Bruegel's and Cock's audience surely would have appreciated the association of the ancient quotation with a contemporary folk custom at Shrovetide, the season of festivity just before Lent. The drawing was originally meant to serve as the design for a woodcut but, for an unknown reason, the carving of the block was abandoned after cutting in the upper left corner was carried out. Presumably it was Bruegel's death in 1569 that brought the design into the publisher's hands and to fruition as an engraving.
