多自淮乡得,天然碧玉团。
破来肌体莹,嚼处齿牙寒。
清敌炎威退,凉生酒量宽。
东门无此种,雪片簇冰盘。
多自淮乡得,天然碧玉团。
破来肌体莹,嚼处齿牙寒。
清敌炎威退,凉生酒量宽。
东门无此种,雪片簇冰盘。
它们大多产自淮河一带的乡村,
天然生成,像圆润的碧玉团。
剖开后果肉晶莹剔透,
咀嚼时感觉齿间生寒。
它的清凉足以击退炎夏的威势,
让人酒量也随之变宽。
东门一带没有这样的品种,
它就像冰盘上簇拥的雪片一般。
Most come from the Huai region, a gift of the land,
Like natural green jade, perfectly round and grand.
Cracked open, its flesh gleams with a crystal sheen,
Chewed, it sends a chill through teeth, crisp and keen.
Its coolness drives the summer's fierce heat away,
And broadens one's capacity for wine, they say.
No such fruit grows by the Eastern Gate, it's true,
Like snowflakes heaped on a plate of ice, fresh and new.
碧玉般的西瓜,是风土与物产在特定地理空间中的身份认同。
赞美西瓜源自淮乡、形如碧玉的天然之美,流露欣喜与赞赏。
本诗为五言律诗,押平声韵。
