食中山之酒 ^① ，一醉千日，今之昏昏逐逐 ^② ，无一日不醉。趋名者醉于朝 ^③ ，趋利者醉于野 ^④ ，豪者 ^⑤ 醉于声色车马。安得一服清凉散，人人解酲 ^⑥ ？

【中文注释】

① 中山之酒：一种据说是中山人狄希酿造的、能让人一饮醉千日的烈酒。

② 昏昏逐逐：昏昏沉沉，不可终日。

③ 朝：朝廷。隐喻官场。

④ 野：原意指与“朝廷”相对的“民间”。此处借喻跟利益相关的“生意场”。

⑤ 豪者：整天花天酒地、纵情享乐的人。

⑥ 解酲：酲，醉酒状。解酲。即解酒或醒酒之意。

【今文解译】

清醒的人喝了中山烈酒，就会一醉不起，千日不醒。而今天的人们尽管滴酒不沾，却也似喝醉了酒一般，整日里沉醉于对声色名利的追逐之中：好名的沉醉于升官加爵，好利的沉醉于敛财致富，好纵情享乐的沉醉于花天酒地。哪里能找到使人清醒的良药，拯救这些沉醉中的人们？

【English Translation】

It was told that a sip of the strong liquid brewed by the master of Zhongshan Mountain could make a clear-headed one lost in drunkenness for a thousand days. But people of present day, though without drinking a drop of wine, are all too intoxicated to be themselves each and every day: those longing for fame and rank are so intoxicated with the court; those striving for economic profit are so intoxicated with the fair; and those engaged in extravagance are so intoxicated with luxury and sensuality. O where to find a medication to act as the dose of sobriety to dispel the intoxications and draw the intoxicated ones back to a clear-headed state! khVYntH3Tm5Q2C4UBE8QJA/sXLorsPLb4NkyhUA/FlpQGZk1YJXWMA/ebJVDIaLf
