巖巖九門深,日舉費十萬。
忽於泥滓中,得列方丈案。
腥鹹置齒牙,光彩生顧眄。
從此辱虛名,歲先包橘獻。
微生知幾何,得喪孰真贋。
玉食有云補,刳腸非所患。
巖巖九門深,日舉費十萬。
忽於泥滓中,得列方丈案。
腥鹹置齒牙,光彩生顧眄。
從此辱虛名,歲先包橘獻。
微生知幾何,得喪孰真贋。
玉食有云補,刳腸非所患。
巍峨的九重宮門深邃,
每日耗費達十萬之巨。
忽然從泥濘汙濁之中,
得以陳列於方丈的案几。
腥鹹的味道置於齒牙間,
光彩煥發引人顧盼。
從此蒙受這虛妄的名聲,
每年早於包裹的橘子進獻。
卑微的生命能知道多少呢?
得失之中何為真何為假?
珍饈美饌據說有滋補之效,
剖開腸肚並非它所憂患。
Deep are the ninefold gates, majestic and profound,
Daily expenses amount to a hundred thousand.
Suddenly from the mire and filth,
It gains a place on the abbot's square table.
Salty and fishy set between the teeth,
Its luster begets a second glance.
Henceforth it bears an empty fame,
Each year offered ahead of the tangerines.
How much does a humble life truly know?
Which gain or loss is real, which false?
Jade-like food is said to have tonic virtue,
Gutting the intestines is not its worry.
深宮巨費揭示了財政消耗與治理效能間的經典博弈。
極言宮門深邃與耗費巨大,暗含諷喻。
本詩為五言古詩,押平聲韻。
