[原文]
14.2 自对问以后，东方朔效而广之，名为《客难》，托古慰志，疏而有辨。扬雄《解嘲》，杂以谐谑，回环自释，颇亦为工。班固《宾戏》，含懿采之华;崔骃《达旨》，吐典言之裁;张衡《应间》，密而兼雅;崔[实]寔《[客]答讥》，整而微质;蔡邕《释海》，体奥而文炳;景纯《客傲》，情见而采蔚:虽迭相祖述，然属篇之高者也。至于陈思《客问》，辞高而理疏;庾敳《客咨》，意荣而文悴:斯类甚众，无所取[裁]ォ矣。原夫兹文之设，乃发愤以表志。身挫凭乎道胜，时屯寄于情泰，莫不渊岳其心，麟凤其采，此立[本]体之大要也。
[今译]
自从宋玉创作《对楚王问》以后，东方朔仿效它再加扩展，称做《答客难》，借用古事，来安慰自己，写得有条理而富辨オ。扬雄作《解嘲》，夹杂着诙谐的戏谑，替自己循环解释，也很工巧。班固作《答宾戏》，含有美好的文采;崔骃作《达旨》，发出雅正的言论;张衡作《应间》，文辞绵密，议论雅正;崔寔作《答讥》，叙述整齐，语言稍带质朴;蔡邕作《释诲》，用思深而文采照耀;郭璞作《客傲》，情思显露，富有文采:他们虽多次模仿，却成为创作中成就较高的作品。到曹植作《客问》，文辞高超，文理不严密;庾数作《客咨》，内容丰富，文辞枯窘;这类作品很多，没什么可取了。推究这类文章的创作，是发愤来表达意志。自身遭到挫折，但依靠道德来战胜困苦，时世艰难，保持心情的舒泰，没有不像渊静山立，具有麟凤的文采，这是确立这类作品的大体情况。
14.2 Following the example of Song Yu's original, Dongfang Shuo expanded the genre with his "Reply to Questions from a Guest." Written in a lucid and informal manner, it invokes the past to assuage his frustrations. In "Self Mockery," also a skillful piece, Yang Xiong argues for and against himself with humor and self-ridicule. The language flowers in Ban Gu's "Reply to a Guest, in Jest. " Cui Yin's "Communicating the Intent" shows classical elegance. Zhang Heng's "Reply to a Critic" is tightly knit and graceful. Cui Shi's "Reply to Ridicule" is orderly and slightly plain. Cai Yong's "Dissolving Doubts" is deep in meaning and brilliant in language. Guo Pu's "Self Pride" conveys feeling with art. Although they are imitations, these poems represent the best of the genre "Reply to Questions." Cao Zhi's "Questions from a Guest" is superb in language but plebeian in ideas; Yu Ai's "Advice from a Guest" is luxuriant in ideas but impoverished in language : Works of this caliber abound and do not merit attention. The "Reply to Questions" is a genre intended for expressing aspirations and frustrations. The crucial point is that moral triumph in frustration and mental tranquility in trouble can only be expressed by a heart exalted as mountains and deep as oceans, in language rich and colorful as the feathers of phoenixes.
