益也非庸僧,黄卷粗渔猎。
身虽阛阓中,耻与喧嚣接。
朝弹侧楸局,暮杵青黏叶。
妙理脱扃键,高谈腾辅颊。
繄予困缰锁,荏苒尚吏牒。
不见才七年,霜髭已盈镊。
借问何所因,苦吟诗满箧。
益也非庸僧,黄卷粗渔猎。
身虽阛阓中,耻与喧嚣接。
朝弹侧楸局,暮杵青黏叶。
妙理脱扃键,高谈腾辅颊。
繄予困缰锁,荏苒尚吏牒。
不见才七年,霜髭已盈镊。
借问何所因,苦吟诗满箧。
益公并非平庸的僧人,
他广泛涉猎古代典籍。
虽然身处繁华街市之中,
却耻于与喧嚣为伍相接。
早晨弹奏侧楸棋盘,
傍晚捣制青黏树叶。
玄妙的道理挣脱了枷锁,
高妙的谈吐飞扬于唇颊。
唯独我受困于官场束缚,
时光流逝,仍忙于吏牒。
不见面才七年光景,
白须已多到需用镊子夹。
借问这是因何缘故,
苦吟作诗已满书箱箧。
Yi is no common monk, I must declare,
He hunts through yellow scrolls with learned care.
Though dwelling in the market's noisy zone,
He shuns the clamor, standing all alone.
At dawn, he plays the game on cypress board,
At dusk, he pounds green leaves, a healthful hoard.
Profound truths break from shackles of the mind,
His lofty discourse soars, leaving awe behind.
But I am trapped in duties, bound and tied,
Year after year, by official papers plied.
Not seen for seven years, how time has flown—
His temples frost with white hairs newly grown.
I ask what caused this change, so swift and deep,
‘Hard chanting filled my case with poems to keep.’
对知识精英的认同反映了宋代的文化治理取向。
赞扬僧人惟益勤学博识,非同凡俗。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
