注：○能饮一杯无：白居易《问刘十九》原句。○酒徒：嗜酒者也。《韩非子·诡使》：“今死士之孤饥饿乞于道，而优笑酒徒之属乘车衣丝。”○区区：微而不足道也。《左传·襄公十七年》：“宋国区区，而有诅有祝，祸之本也。”○原文云：“彼器，方应吾言者也，必曾有生，必曾痛饮。吾今所接彼之唇，授受之吻亦必多矣，其漠然哉！”吾国文字直译之殊不典，但以“阅尽”二字了之也。
I think the Vessel, that with fugitive
Articulation answer'd, once did live,
And drink; and Ah! the passive Lip I kiss'd,
How many Kisses might it take——and give!
