[原文]
14.3 自《七发》以下，作者继踵。观枚氏首唱，信独拔而伟丽矣。及傅毅《七激》，会清要之工;崔骃《七依》，入博雅之巧;张衡《七辩》，结采绵靡;崔瑗《七厉》，植义纯正;陈思《七启》，取美于宏壮;仲宣《七释》，致辨于事理。自桓麟《七说》以下，左思《七讽》以上，枝附影从，十有馀家，或文丽而义暌，或理粹而辞驳。观其大抵所归，莫不高谈宫馆，壮语畋猎，穷瑰奇之服馔，极蛊媚之声色;甘意摇骨[体]髓，艳词[动]洞魂识，虽始之以淫侈，而终之以居正，然讽一劝百，势不自反。子云所谓“先骋郑卫之声，曲终而奏雅”者也。唯《七厉》叙贤，归以儒道，虽文非拔群，而意实卓尔矣。
[今译]
从枚乘《七发》以后，仿作的人前后相接。看枚乘首先创作，确实是杰出的宏篇丽藻了。到傅毅作《七激》，会集清新扼要的好处;崔骃作《七依》，达到博学正确的优点;张衡作《七辩》，组织辞采绵密细致;崔瑗作《七厉》，运思纯粹正确;曹植作《七启》，得到宏壮的关;王粲作《七释》，致力于辨别事理。自从桓麟作《七说》以后，左思作《七讽》以前，像枝条附在树干，影子跟着形体，有十多家，有的文词艳丽，意义违反正道，有的理论纯粹，文辞驳杂。看他们大致的趣向，没有不高谈宫室馆阁，豪迈地讲打猎，极尽奇丽的服装食品，极尽迷惑人的歌舞美女;美好的用意摇动人们的精神，艳丽的词藻深入人们的灵魂，虽然开始用浮夸的话，结尾还是回到正理，可是讽刺的只有一分，劝诱的却有百分，这样的趋势不能回到正路。扬雄说的“先发扬靡靡之音，到曲调终结时才奏雅乐”的。只有《七厉》叙述贤人，回到儒家的路上去，虽然文辞不算杰出，可是用意是非常卓越的。
14.3 After Mei Cheng wrote "Seven Elicitations," others followed suit. Mei's pioneering work is unique and brilliant. Fu Yi's "Seven Arousals" combines clarity with conciseness. Cui Yin's "Seven Compliances" shows learning and grace. Zhang Heng's careful phrasing in "Seven Disputations" reaps tender fruits. Cui Yuan's "Seven Solemnities" sows integrity of meaning. Cao Zhi's "Seven Revelations" achieves sublime beauty. Wang Can's "Seven Explanations" has rigor. Between the writing of Huan Lin's "Seven Discourses" and Zuo Si's "Seven Derisions," more than ten other writers imitated the "Seven." Some of their works are well worded but inconsistent in ideas; some contain astute ideas in jumbled language. In general, they parade dazzling descriptions of palaces and hunting grounds, celebrate fabulous dresses and food, and indulge in voluptuous and sensual descriptions. Their sweet words melt the reader to the marrow, their alluring language excites the mind and the soul. Although a moral message is attached to their extravagant and sensuous descriptions, it is often overshadowed by the many temptations offered. Thus the reader is led astray onto a path from which there is no return. Yang Xiong captured this tendency well when he said, "A moral tune is played only after immoral music has been fully enjoyed." Of all these works, only Cui Yuan's "Seven Solemnities" describes virtuous conduct before arriving at a proper conclusion. Although its language is mediocre, it contains superior thoughts.
