临别口号遍谢弥天大人谬知我者
[清]金圣叹
东西南北海天疏,
万里来寻圣叹书。
圣叹只留书种[1]在,
累[2]君青眼[3]看何如?
注释:
[1]书种:作者的儿子金雍。
[2]累:劳累。
[3]青眼:表示重视。最后一句是说诗人希望在他死后,他的儿子能致力于他的事业,劳累诸君,另眼看待他儿子的书作。
To My Readers before My Death
Jin Shengtan
We’re far apart as sky from earth or the four nooks;
You make light of ten thousand miles to find my books[1].
I’ve left my son who loves but reading ‘neath the sky.
Would you please look on him with favorable eye?
注释:
[1]The poet was the critical commentator of Heroes of the Marsh and Romance of the Western Bower.
