昔三后之纯粹兮，固众芳之所在。杂申椒与菌桂兮，岂维纫夫蕙茝！ 彼尧舜之耿介兮，既遵道而得路。何桀纣之猖披兮，夫唯捷径以窘步。 惟夫党人之偷乐兮，路幽昧以险隘。岂余身之惮殃兮，恐皇舆之败绩！ 忽奔走以先后兮，及前王之踵武。荃不察余之中情兮，反信谗以齌怒。 余固知謇謇之为患兮，忍而不能舍也。指九天以为正兮，夫唯灵修之故也。 (曰黄昏以为期兮，羌中道而改路。) 初既与余成言兮，后悔遁而有他。余既不难夫离别兮，伤灵修之数化。 Three ancient kings there were so pure and true That round them every fragrant flower grew; Cassia and pepper of the mountain-side With melilotus white in clusters vied. Two monarchs then, who high renown received, Followed the kingly way, their goal achieved. Two princes proud by lust their reign abused, Sought easier path, and their own steps confused. The faction for illict pleasure longed; Dreadful their way where hidden perils thronged. Danger against myself could not appal, But feared I lest my sovereign's scepter fall. Forward and back I hastened in my quest, Followed the former kings, and took no rest. The prince my true integrity defamed, Gave ear to slander, high his anger flamed; Integrity I knew could not avail, Yet still endured; my lord I would not fail. Celestial spheres my witness be on high, I strove but for His Sacred Majesty. 'Twas first to me he gave his plighted word, But soon repenting other counsel heard. For me departure could arouse no pain; I grieved to see his royal purpose vain. (杨宪益、戴乃迭 译) |
