蒲萄本自涼州域,漢使移根植中國。
涼州路絕無遺民,蒲萄更為中國珍。
九月肅霜初熟時,寶璫碌碌珠纍纍。
凍如玉醴甘如飴,江南萍實聊等夷。
漢時曾用酒一斛,便能用得涼州牧。
漢薄涼州絕可怪,今看涼州若天外。

葡萄原本出自涼州的地域,
漢朝的使者將它的根移植到中原。
通往涼州的道路斷絕,沒有遺民留存,
葡萄因此更成為中原的珍品。
九月寒霜初降,葡萄剛剛成熟時,
像珍貴的耳飾和累累的珍珠,成串密集。
冰涼如美酒,甘甜如飴糖,它的滋味超絕,
江南的萍實也只能勉強與之相比。
漢朝時,曾用一斛這種葡萄酒,
便能換得涼州牧的官職。
漢朝輕視涼州,實在令人奇怪,
如今看涼州,彷彿遠在天外。
The grapevine originally came from Liangzhou's land,
By Han envoys its roots were moved and planted in the Central State.
The road to Liangzhou was cut off, no descendants remained,
Thus the grape became even more a treasure in the Central State.
In the ninth month, when frost descends and the fruit first ripens,
Like precious pendants and rolling pearls, clusters hang dense.
Chilled like jade nectar, sweet as maltose, its taste transcends,
The southern duckweed fruit is merely its equal, in a sense.
In Han times, a single jar of this wine could suffice,
To obtain the governorship of Liangzhou, such was its price.
The Han's disregard for Liangzhou is truly strange to tell,
Now gazing toward Liangzhou, it seems beyond heaven's veil.
物種移植隱喻文明治理中的資源流動與整合。
敘述葡萄由西域傳入中國的歷史,隱含對文化交流與移植的詠歎。
本詩為七言古詩,押平聲韻。
