有一富人请客,酒席倒也丰盛。但有一盘又酸又涩的生梨及一盘死甲鱼使人不堪入口。当时有一叫王元美的人,指着这两盘菜随手写两句诗道:“世上万般愁苦事,无过死鳖与生梨。”坐客哗然大笑。王元美就是“生吞活剥”了“世上万般愁苦事,无过死别与生离”的两句旧诗。 There is a rich person to treat guests, but the banquet is also rich. However, there was a plate of raw pears and a dead turtle which was unbearable. At the time, there was a man named Wang Yuanmei who pointed to two poems with two handwritten poems: “There are thousands of hardships in the world, no dead bodies and no pears.” The visitor laughed. Wang Yuanmei is a pair of old poems that “lived and devoured” and “wonderful things happen in the world, with no death and no separation”.
