好惡由來各在人,況憑圖像覓天真。
君王視聽能無壅,延壽何知敢妄陳。
好惡由來各在人,況憑圖像覓天真。
君王視聽能無壅,延壽何知敢妄陳。
喜好與厭惡從來都取決於各人,
更何況憑藉畫像來尋覓(真實的)天然姿容呢?
君王的視聽若能不被蒙蔽,
毛延壽哪裡知道(或:怎敢)胡亂陳述(畫像的優劣)?
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?
批判以表象定優劣的認知局限,強調主體判斷。
議論王昭君故事,指出好惡因人而異,畫像難覓本真。
本詩為七言絕句,押平聲韻。
