波斯短歌行譯箋 其十五 當(dāng)代 · 鐘錦
七言絕句
曰儉曰奢徒費(fèi)吟,一朝身死總消沉。
江頭誰(shuí)問(wèn)懷沙恨?淘盡江沙只見(jiàn)金。
注:○曰儉曰奢:李商隱《詠史》:“歷覽前賢國(guó)與家,成由勤儉破由奢?!薄饝焉常骸妒酚洝でZ生列傳》:“(屈原)作《懷沙》之賦。于是懷石,遂自投汨羅以死。”○原文云:“吝之者金視其谷,揮之者若風(fēng)吹雨散。若輩皆不能如金沙,一朝沉埋,無(wú)復(fù)出矣?!弊g文后二句,遐出感慨。
And those who husbanded the Golden grain,
And those who flung it to the winds like Rain,
Alike to no such aureate Earth are turn'd
As, buried once, Men want dug up again.
