好恶由来各在人,况凭图像觅天真。
君王视听能无壅,延寿何知敢妄陈。
好恶由来各在人,况凭图像觅天真。
君王视听能无壅,延寿何知敢妄陈。
喜好与厌恶从来都取决于各人,
更何况凭借画像来寻觅(真实的)天然姿容呢?
君王的视听若能不被蒙蔽,
毛延寿哪里知道(或:怎敢)胡乱陈述(画像的优劣)?
Likes and dislikes have always been a matter of personal judgment,
How much more so when seeking true nature through a mere portrait?
If the monarch's sight and hearing were not obstructed,
How would the painter dare to present such reckless falsehood?
批判以表象定优劣的认知局限,强调主体判断。
议论王昭君故事,指出好恶因人而异,画像难觅本真。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
