古詩：頍弁 中英對照

有頍者弁、實維伊何。

爾酒既旨、爾殽既嘉。

豈伊異人、兄弟匪他。

蔦與女蘿、施於松柏。

未見君子、憂心弈弈。

既見君子、庶幾說懌。

有頍者弁、實維何期。

爾酒既旨、爾殽既時。

豈伊異人、兄弟具來。

蔦與女蘿、施於松上。

未見君子、憂心怲怲。

既見君子、庶幾有臧。

有頍者弁、實維在首。

爾酒既旨、爾殽既阜。

豈伊異人、兄弟甥舅。

如彼雨雪、先集維霰。

死喪無日、無幾相見。

樂酒今夕、君子維宴。

Those in the leather caps ， ——

Who are they ？

Since your spirits are [so]good ，

And your viands are [so] fine ，

How can they be strangers ？

They are your brethren ， and no others .

[They are like] the mistletoe and the dodder .

Growing over the pine and the cypress .

While they do not see you ， O king ，

Their sorrowful hearts are all-unsettled .

When they do see you ，

They begin to be happy and glad .

Those in the leather caps ， ——

Who are they ？

Since your spirits are [so]good ，

And your viands are all of the season .

How can they be strangers ？

They are your brethren ， all assembled .

[They are like] the mistletoe and the dodder .

Growing over the pine .

While they do not see you ， O king ，

Their hearts are full of sorrow .

When they do see you ，

They begin to feel that things are right .

There are those in the leather caps ，

Which they wear on their heads .

Since your spirits are [so] good ，

And your viands are [so] abundant ，

How can they be strangers ？

They are your brethren ， and your relatives by affinity .

When there is going to be a fall of snow ，

There is first the descent of sleet .

Death and ruin may come any day ，

It is not long that you will see one another .

Rejoice over your spirits for the present evening ；

O king ， enjoy the feast .
