波斯短歌行译笺 其八十八 当代 · 钟锦
七言绝句 押盐韵
一言忽发甚庄严:“尔辈云何自占
陋如窳器恩犹在,慈似春阳物普沾”。
注:○慈似句:借宋儒“心普万物意译之。○原文云:“又有言者曰:诸君俱言彼将掷窳器于地狱,为其失手者也。诸君且勿喧!彼诚善者,所为尽善也。”盖信士语也,故以庄严语译之。
"Why," said another, "Some there are who tell
Of one who threatens he will toss to Hell
The luckless Pots he marr'd in making——Pish!
He's a Good Fellow, and 'twill all be well."
