This is one of the english explanations:
- 1. Music to hear, why hear'st thou music sadly?
- Two interpretations are given of this: a) You are yourself like music to listen to, so why do you respond to it sadly? b) Why is it that, when there is music to listen to, you are saddened by it.? The former question asks why a person who is so framed as to appear perfect to the observer, rounded and harmonious as a piece of music, should be made sad by listening to music.
因此有兩種不同的解釋。 這也是詩的語言的特點:有時無法判斷哪種才是正確,或許作者也不知道。
祝各位節日愉快!
