余生如涸鱼,斗水足可活。
父子自相濡,不望江湖阔。
使吾道当亨,时平己身达。
运往年岁莫,滋厌耳根聒。
与其强磬折,孰若谨囊括。
心怜童穉饥,此事亦已末。
余生如涸鱼,斗水足可活。
父子自相濡,不望江湖阔。
使吾道当亨,时平己身达。
运往年岁莫,滋厌耳根聒。
与其强磬折,孰若谨囊括。
心怜童穉饥,此事亦已末。
我余下的生命如同干涸水沟中的鱼,
只需一斗水便足以存活。
父子之间用唾沫互相湿润以求生存,
并不奢望江湖的广阔。
假使我的道能够通达,
在太平时世,我自身也能显达。
时运随着年岁将尽而远去,
我越发厌烦耳边的喧嚣吵闹。
与其勉强自己卑躬屈膝,
不如谨慎收敛,保全自身。
内心怜悯年幼孩子们的饥饿,
但这件事如今也已无关紧要了。
My remaining life is like a fish in a dried-up creek,
A dipper of water is enough to keep me alive.
Father and son moisten each other with their own spittle,
Not yearning for the vastness of rivers and lakes.
If my Way were to flourish,
In times of peace, I myself would achieve success.
Fortune departs as the year draws to its end,
Increasingly I loathe the clamor assailing my ears.
Better to be cautious and keep things contained,
Than to force myself into obsequious bows.
My heart pities the hunger of my young children,
Yet even this matter has become of little consequence.
在生存极限处展现生命韧性的周期智慧。
以涸辙之鱼自况,知足于微薄生机。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
