87醉时歌

Song When Drunk A stream of distinguished men rises to the censorate[1] and ministries, while this gentleman of the Guangwen College alone holds a sinecure[2]. The best mansions throng[3] with people, sated[4] with meat and fine rice, while this gentleman of the Guangwen College has not enough to eat. This gentleman possesses the Way going beyond Fu Xi; this gentleman possesses talents surpassing Qu Yuan and Song Yu. His virtue, revered[5] by the whole age, yet his aims are always unfulfilled, his name will endure for all time, but I wonder what good that does. As a rustic from Duling people scorn[6] me even more: the homespun I wear is short and tight; my locks are like white silk. Every day I purchase my five pints of rice from the Official Granary, then often go to old Zheng’s, to meet someone like-minded. Whenever I get cash, I seek him out at once and buy ale without hesitation. Ignoring formalities, we come to tutoyer[7]; in drinking oneself silly you are truly my teacher. As cool night engulfs us, we set the spring brew pouring; before the lamp in a fine rain flowers fall past the eaves. We are aware only that in our loud singing there is some divinity[8]— what do we care about dying of hunger and filling some ditch? Xiangru had unworldly talent, yet washed dishes with his own hands; Ziyun knew his characters, but at last he jumped from the tower. Long before, this gentleman wrote his verses on returning home to stony fields and a thatched roof, overgrown with green moss. What do the skills of a Confucian scholar matter to me?— Confucius and Robber Zhi are together now the dust. One must not hear such thoughts so gloomy— chancing to meet in this life, let’s lift the cups to our lips. 单词释义 [1] censorate n. 检查机关; 监察院; 都察院; [2] sinecure [ˈsɪnɪkjʊə(r)] n. 闲职; 挂名职位; [3] throng [θrɒŋ] v. 群集; 拥塞; 拥向; [4] sated [ˈseɪtɪd] adj. 餍足; 餍腻; [5] revered [rɪˈvɪəd] v. 尊敬; 崇敬; [6] scorn [skɔːn] v. 轻蔑; 鄙视; 不屑于(接受或做); 轻蔑地拒绝; [7] tutoyer 亲密地对待; [8] divinity [dɪˈvɪnəti] n. 神性; 神; 女神; 神学;
