読み下だし


英訳

A solitary pine tree standing by a quiet pavilion --
Wreathed in bands of auspicious mist,green both summer and winter.
Morally upright, unlike the others with their frail constitutions.
The reclusive ones face each other, wishing long life for all.

Line three: The pine tree is a symbol of longevity, integrity, and steadfastness. "Morally upright" presumably describes the vigorous old pine, praised and admired for its unchanging greenery, however the poet may also be drawing a parallel between the tree and the assembled guests. The phrase 蒲柳質 means "the constitution of the catkin willow," the willow being known for its slender, delicate branches and its short-lived catkins.
