注释
攲：①音衣，通“倚”，如斜攲，攲枕。②音欺，倾侧不平。玉绳：《太平御览·天部五》引《春秋元命苞》曰“玉衡北两星为玉绳。玉之为言沟，刻也。瑕而不掩，折而不伤。”。宋均注曰：“绳能直物，故名玉绳。沟，谓作器。”玉衡，北斗第五星也。秋夜半，玉绳渐自西北转，冉冉而降，时为夜深或近晓也。流年：流逝之岁月；年华。檃括：就某文体原有内容、词句改写为另一体裁之创作手法。檃音隐。

SU Shi – Lyrics to the Melody of an Immortal Who Lived in a Cave
With skin like ice and bones like jade,She perspires not looking cool and refreshed.From the hall by the water waft breezes full of subtle scents.Through the drawn embroidered curtains, the moon sneaks a look of her,She hasn't retired for the night, askew are the her pillow and hairpins in her hair.
I rise to take her delicate hand, quiet is the courtyard and its environs,A star or two the Milky Way cross between whiles.How deep is the night, wonder I?Approaching midnight is the time,Moonlight pales as the northern stars low slide.I count with my fingers when the season of westerlies would arrive,Before I could become aware of it, lapsed has fleeting time.
