波斯短歌行译笺其九十

[当代] 钟锦

坊头正有月纤纤，瓮缶纷然引领瞻。
“痛饮日随新月到，明朝须待挂青帘”。
注：○纤纤：尖细貌。鲍照《玩月城西门廨中》诗：“始见西南楼，纤纤如玉钩。”○引领：望之殷也。《左传·成公十三年》：“及君之嗣也，我君景公引领西望曰：‘庶抚我乎！’”○痛饮句：盖新月出则斋月竟矣。○青帘：酒肆幌也。郑谷《旅寓洛阳村舍》诗：“青帘认酒家。”原文云：“酒坛已压酒人肩。”（眭谦译）言输酒也。译文言卖酒也。盖斋月过矣，可以饮矣。
So while the Vessels one by one were speaking,
The little Moon look'd in that all were seeking:
And then they jogg'd each other, "Brother! Brother!
Now for the Porter's shoulder-knot a-creaking!"
