波斯短歌行译笺 其七十 当代 · 钟锦
七言绝句 押尤韵
玉勒金鞍打毬,一杆击处看星流
偶然堕地游戏,怨甚君身不自由
注:○玉勒二句王直端午日打球》:“玉勒千金马雕文七宝球。鞚飞惊电掣,杖奋觉星流。”○游戏嬉戏也。《韩非子·难三》:“管仲所谓‘言室满室,言堂满堂’者,非特游戏饮食之言也,必谓大物也。”原文云:“彼知一切也。彼知之!彼知之!”而未言所知,此但以游戏译之耳。○自由任由自身也。《古诗焦仲卿妻作》:“吾意久怀忿,汝岂得自由?”
The Ball no question makes of Ayes and Noes,
But Here or There as strikes the Player goes;
And He that toss'd you down into the Field,
He knows about it all—HE knows—HE knows!
