Daughters can also be heroic? poem translation

edit

This article appears to imply that the quoted English lines of the poem:

"It's made to believe, Women are the same as Men; Are you not convinced, Daughters can also be heroic?"

Can be translated as:

足行万里书万卷,尝拟雄心胜丈夫!

However, a cursory attempt at translation appears to suggest something quite different, along the lines of:

"Traveling thousands of miles and writing thousands of books, my ambition is better than that of my husband"

Perhaps these are two different quotes from two different poems, in which case perhaps they should be indicated as such more clearly. A Chinese speaker may be in a better position to advise on this, or some other sources may clarify. 2A02:C7C:EE3F:2100:2C3A:AA1F:CCAE:C595 (talk) 11:00, 29 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
