四边乔木尽儿孙,曾见吴宫几度春。
若使当时成大厦,也应随例作埃尘。
四边乔木尽儿孙,曾见吴宫几度春。
若使当时成大厦,也应随例作埃尘。
四周高大的树木都像是它的儿孙辈,
它曾见证吴国宫殿历经了多少个春天。
假使它当时被砍伐用来建造大厦,
也应当会依照常例化作尘埃。
All the tall trees around are but its offspring young,
It witnessed the palace of Wu through many a spring.
Had it been felled then to build a mansion grand,
It would have turned to dust like others, nothing to withstand.
古柏见证吴宫兴衰,体现历史周期之无情。
借古柏之姿,抒发历史沧桑与物是人非之感。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
