垂头终日坐当门,两臂苍龙隠墨纹。
笑撚白须传阵法,手摊黄纸说君恩。
中年主帅皆为鬼,晚岁虞兵见领军。
每劝儿孙学刀箭,解衣教看旧瘢痕。
垂头终日坐当门,两臂苍龙隠墨纹。
笑撚白须传阵法,手摊黄纸说君恩。
中年主帅皆为鬼,晚岁虞兵见领军。
每劝儿孙学刀箭,解衣教看旧瘢痕。
他终日垂着头坐在门前,
两臂上苍龙纹身隐现在墨色线条中。
他笑着捻动白须传授布阵之法,
手摊开黄纸讲述君王的恩典。
中年时的主帅都已成了鬼魂,
晚年却见到自己曾统领的士兵。
每每劝告儿孙学习刀箭武艺,
解开衣衫教他们看旧日的伤疤。
Head bowed, he sits all day before the door,
On both his arms, dark dragons hide in ink-stained lines.
He smiles, twirling his white beard, and tells of battle lore;
Spreading a yellow scroll, he speaks of royal grace and signs.
The generals of his prime have all turned into ghosts;
In later years, he sees the troops he once led, now as hosts.
He often urges sons and grandsons to learn bow and blade;
And bares his coat to show the scars that time has never frayed.
英雄迟暮是生命周期的必然,关乎个体价值认同。
描绘一位垂暮老将的落寞形象,暗含对英雄迟暮的感慨。
本诗为七言律诗,押平声韵。
