长年销尽世间情，中圣何须避浊清？
不许浅斟邀令誉，便将低唱抵浮名。
注：○长年句：原文云“世间声望尽败”，故译云“销尽世间情”也。○中圣：醉酒也。李白 《赠孟浩然》诗：“醉月频中圣，迷花不事君。”此译原文之Idols。浊清：酒之清者佳、浊者劣也。○不许二句：柳永《鹤冲天》：“忍把浮名, 换了浅斟低唱。”
Indeed the Idols I have loved so long
Have done my credit in this World much wrong:
Have drown'd my Glory in a shallow Cup,
And sold my Reputation for a Song.
Indeed the Idols I have loved so long
Have done my credit in this World much wrong:
Have drown'd my Glory in a shallow Cup,
And sold my Reputation for a Song.
