堂下所跪者何人（座中泣下谁最多）

凄凄不似向前声，

满座重闻皆掩泣。

座中泣下谁最多？

江州司马青衫湿。

注：

1.青衫: 唐朝八品、九品文官的服色。白居易当时的官阶是将侍郎，从九品，所以服青衫。

So sad, so drear, so different, it moved us deep;

Those who heard it hid the face and began to weep.

Of all the company at table who wept most?

It was none other than the exiled blue-robed host.
