《人间词话》英译（一百一十七）

（毛熙震）周密《齐东野语》称其词新警而不为儇薄。余尤爱其《后庭花》，不独意胜，即以调论，亦有隽上清越之致，视文锡蔑如也。<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Chou Mi’s Chi’i tung yeh-yu says [Mao Hsi-chen’s] tz’u are ‘fresh and striking and not at all artful or insipid [in the treatment of emotions].’ I particularly like his tz’u to the tune of ‘Hou t’ing hua.’ Not only is the meaning excellent, but the tune pattern is also unusual and clearcut. Compared with him, Mao Wen-hsi is not worth mentioning.
