龙伯钓鼇时,连六方自快。
事缘贪饵起,上帝独何罪。
土疆日侵削,形躯仍眚杀。
才余数十丈,尚足令人骇。
寄言诤毕人,努力事机械。
何当大荒野,与尔竞行迈。
龙伯钓鼇时,连六方自快。
事缘贪饵起,上帝独何罪。
土疆日侵削,形躯仍眚杀。
才余数十丈,尚足令人骇。
寄言诤毕人,努力事机械。
何当大荒野,与尔竞行迈。
龙伯钓起巨鳌的时候,
一次连钓六座山,自己正感到快意。
祸事因贪图诱饵而起,
上帝唯独怪罪他什幺呢?
疆土日益被侵夺削减,
身躯仍遭灾祸与杀害。
只剩下几十丈大小,
尚且足以令人惊骇。
寄语那些直言谏诤到底的人,
努力从事机巧谋略之事吧。
何时在这广袤荒野之上,
与你们竞相前行迈进。
When the Giant Dragon Earl fished for the leviathan,
He hauled six mountains at once, feeling great delight.
The trouble arose from his greed for the bait,
What fault, then, did the Lord of Heaven find in him?
His lands were encroached upon day by day,
His body still suffered harm and slaughter.
Only a few dozen zhang remained,
Yet enough to strike people with awe.
I send word to those who remonstrate to the end,
Strive hard in the affairs of machinery and craft.
When will we, in the vast wilderness,
Compete with you in the march of progress?
以神话隐喻治理失序,警示权力膨胀的周期风险。
借龙伯钓鼇典故,讽刺世人贪婪自大。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
