他显然因此种阳刚和阴柔之分而感到自豪。其实东坡之词何尝都是“大江东去”？“笑渐不闻声渐杳，多情却被无情恼”；“绣帘开，一点明月窥人”；这些词句，恐怕也只合十七八女郎曼声低唱吧？

He clearly felt proud of this kind of distinction between masculine and feminine, but actually it's not like Su Dongpo's ci are all like 'The River Surges Eastward'". Wouldn't lines of poetry like, "Gradually, the laughter within the walls faded, and the passersby dispersed. As if one's passion was injured by the ruthlessness of a young girl." and "Through the embroidered curtain, the moon steals a furtive glance at her." also maybe only be appropriate for young girls of 17 or 18 to sing in modest voices?

东坡有幕士，尝谓柳永词只合十七八女郎，执红牙板，歌“杨柳岸，晓风残月”：东坡词须关西大汉，铜琵琶，铁绰板，唱“大江东去”。东坡为之“绝倒”。

One day Su Dongpo came upon a officer who was skilled at singing, so he asked, "How do my ci compare with those of Liu Yong?". He replied, "Liu Yong's ci are only suitable for girls of 17 or 18 to sing, holding their ivory clappers and singing 'a river bank covered in willow trees, with the cold breeze before the dawn', the ci of a scholar like yourself requires a great man from West of the Hangu Pass, using a bronze pipa, a pair of iron clappers, singing 'The River Surges Eastward'." Su Dongpo gave a hearty laugh, not knowing how to react.
