《花鳥情事：民謠裡的浪漫詩人》｜第三籤：甘蔗
花鳥情事：民謠裡的浪漫詩人
介紹
當詩詞與曲調相融，文字離開紙頁，隨聲音在空氣中震盪，成為可被聽見的情感與意象。
民謠常見的曲調有數種——如〈思雙枝〉、〈楓港調〉、〈四季春〉、〈牛母伴〉、〈五孔小調〉、〈平埔調〉、〈守牛調〉等。傳唱者依詩詞的情緒、主題與自身經驗靈活選調，使每首詩都映照出獨特的生命側影。
這首詩以「甘蔗」為喻，甜中帶意，節節分明。「軋做橛」指甘蔗被切成一段段，象徵情感的分寸與節制；男女分食「頭」與「尾」，則暗示彼此試探、情意未明。女子一句「還少歲」表面婉拒，實則含羞帶怯，既有矜持也有心動。全詩以生活語彙寫情，語氣輕快俏皮，甜而不膩，在含蓄與親暱之間，傳達出愛情初生的微妙與節制。
This poem uses the image of sugarcane — sweet yet measured, segmented by each joint — as a metaphor for restrained affection. The phrase “cut into pieces” suggests emotional boundaries and self-control, while the man and woman sharing the “head” and “tail” of the sugarcane implies playful testing between them, affection still unspoken. The girl’s line, “I’m still too young,” appears to decline but carries shyness and quiet curiosity — a mix of modesty and budding desire. Written in the language of daily life, the poem flows with a light and teasing tone: sweet but not cloying, capturing the delicate balance between reserve and intimacy in the first stirrings of love.

✦ 解籤 ✦
此籤如甘蔗初嚐——甜在舌尖，卻未入心。
情緣有意，時機未到；彼此互相試探，尚存距離。
若問感情：宜靜觀其變，莫急於求。
若問事業或合作：甜頭可見，然須分寸拿捏，勿貪圖一時之利。
凡事節制有度，方能長久如甘蔗之甜，越嚼越香。
