昨夜黄斑入县来,分明踪迹印苍苔。
几多道德驱难去,些子猪羊引便来。
令尹声声言有过,录公口口道无灾。
思量也解开东阁,留取头蹄设秀才。
昨夜黄斑入县来,分明踪迹印苍苔。
几多道德驱难去,些子猪羊引便来。
令尹声声言有过,录公口口道无灾。
思量也解开东阁,留取头蹄设秀才。
昨夜有只黄斑老虎进了县城,
它的踪迹分明印在苍苔之上。
多少道德教化也难以驱赶它离去,
一点点猪羊肉便轻易将它引来。
县令声声说这是有过失,
录事官口口称并无灾殃。
思量一番,也明白这是要打开东阁,
留下虎头虎蹄来设宴招待秀才们。
Last night a yellow-striped beast came into the county town,
Its clear footprints stamped upon the mossy ground.
So much virtue could not drive it away,
But a bit of pork and mutton lured it to stay.
The magistrate keeps saying there's a fault to mend,
The clerk insists no disaster will descend.
Thinking it over, I see the eastern pavilion might open its door,
Keeping the head and hooves to entertain the scholars poor.
治理视角下,异象象征权力失控的潜在风险。
猛虎入县引发惊惧,暗喻苛政或异象扰民。
本诗为七言律诗,押平声韵。
