吾生苦中狭,与世枘凿乖。
平生素心人,耿耿不满怀。
汝能伯始后,游世如婴孩。
相逢握手语,便作埙篪谐。
时时笑谓我,如子患未涯。
执古以规今,求合诚难哉。
涉世幸未远,子车尚可回。
我介足怨忌,君通绝嫌猜。
不见山巨源,雍容居鼎台。
不见嵇中散,绝交自可哀。
贤愚心自了,短韵共一咍。
吾生苦中狭,与世枘凿乖。
平生素心人,耿耿不满怀。
汝能伯始后,游世如婴孩。
相逢握手语,便作埙篪谐。
时时笑谓我,如子患未涯。
执古以规今,求合诚难哉。
涉世幸未远,子车尚可回。
我介足怨忌,君通绝嫌猜。
不见山巨源,雍容居鼎台。
不见嵇中散,绝交自可哀。
贤愚心自了,短韵共一咍。
我的人生道路狭窄而苦涩,
与世道格格不入,就像方枘圆凿。
平生那些志趣相投的知己,
萦绕在我心间,使我胸怀难展。
你是胡伯始的后代,
处世如同婴孩般纯真。
相逢时我们握手交谈,
立刻就像埙篪一样和谐共鸣。
你时常笑着对我说,
“像你一样,我的忧患也无边无际。”
用古代的准则来规范当今,
想要契合实在困难啊!
所幸你涉世还不算深,
你的车驾尚可掉头返回。
我的耿介足以招致怨恨猜忌,
你的通达却能断绝嫌疑猜度。
你没看见山巨源吗,
从容不迫地身居宰辅高位?
你没看见嵇中散吗,
写下绝交书是多幺可悲。
贤愚与否,内心自有分明;
写下这首短诗,我们一同笑叹吧。
My life's path is narrow and bitter,
At odds with the world, like a square peg in a round hole.
Those who share my true heart from old,
Linger in my thoughts, leaving my bosom unfulfilled.
You, a descendant of Bo Shi,
Roam the world with an infant's innocence.
Meeting, we clasp hands and speak,
And swiftly make harmony like xun and chi.
Often you laugh and say to me,
'Like you, my worries know no bounds.'
To measure the present by ancient standards,
Seeking accord is truly hard!
Luckily, you've not ventured far into the world,
Your carriage can still turn back.
My stubbornness invites resentment and envy,
Your openness avoids all suspicion and doubt.
Have you not seen Shan Juyuan,
Composed and dignified, dwelling among the high ministers?
Have you not seen Ji Kang,
Whose severing of ties was itself a sorrow?
Wise and foolish, the heart understands itself;
With this short verse, let's share a laugh.
个体与世界的枘凿乖离,揭示了社会认同的困境。
诗人自陈性格与世不合的苦闷,表达对现实境遇的无奈与疏离。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
