齿落不废嚼,足跛尚能履。
书生之所遭,侥幸有如此。
自知穷事业,元不直杯水。
徒行若车安,蔬食如肉美。
或时得斗酒,亦复招邻里。
不肯歌乌乌,行矣呼起起。
齿落不废嚼,足跛尚能履。
书生之所遭,侥幸有如此。
自知穷事业,元不直杯水。
徒行若车安,蔬食如肉美。
或时得斗酒,亦复招邻里。
不肯歌乌乌,行矣呼起起。
牙齿脱落了,但咀嚼功能并未丧失;
脚跛了,却还能走路。
一个书生所遭遇的境况,
竟能侥幸到如此地步。
自己深知事业困顿无成,
原本就值不了一杯水。
徒步行走仿佛安坐车中一样舒适;
粗茶淡饭如同肉食一般鲜美。
偶尔得到一斗酒,
也会招呼邻里一同分享。
不肯吟唱那些哀伤的曲调,
走吧,呼唤自己振作起来!
Teeth fall, yet chewing is not lost;
Feet limp, still able to tread the way.
Such is the fortune a scholar has crossed,
A stroke of luck that comes to stay.
Well aware my career leads to naught,
Worth less than a cup of water, in truth.
Walking on foot feels as ease in a coach brought;
Plain vegetable meals taste like savory meat, forsooth.
Sometimes when a measure of wine I obtain,
I also call the neighbors to share the delight.
I refuse to sing the songs of sorrow and pain,
But urge myself: 'Up, and go forth with might!'
身体衰败与精神韧性的博弈展现生命意志。
抒发年老体衰但志气不坠的豁达情怀。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
