少年不知老境恶,意谓长如少年乐。
朝歌夜舞狂不休,逢人欲觅长生药。
三二十年底难过,屈指朋侪余几个。
就令未死身日衰,朱颜已去谁能那。
人间万事如弈棋,我亦曾经少壮时。
儿曹纷纷不须校,岁月推迁渠自知。
少年不知老境恶,意谓长如少年乐。
朝歌夜舞狂不休,逢人欲觅长生药。
三二十年底难过,屈指朋侪余几个。
就令未死身日衰,朱颜已去谁能那。
人间万事如弈棋,我亦曾经少壮时。
儿曹纷纷不须校,岁月推迁渠自知。
少年时不知道老境的苦楚,
以为快乐会像少年时一样长久。
朝歌夜舞,狂放不休,
逢人便想寻觅长生不老的仙药。
二三十年光阴实在难熬,
屈指算来,老朋友还剩下几个?
即便尚未死去,身体也日渐衰朽,
青春的容颜已逝,谁能奈何。
人间万事如同下棋一般变幻,
我也曾经历过少壮之时。
儿孙辈纷纷扰扰,不必去计较,
岁月推移,他们自会明白。
In youth, one knows not the woes of old age,
Thinking the joy of youth will forever last.
Singing at dawn, dancing at night, wildly without cease,
Meeting people, one seeks the elixir of immortality.
Two or three decades are hard to pass,
Counting on fingers, how many friends remain?
Even if not dead, the body declines day by day,
The ruddy complexion gone, who can reverse it?
All worldly affairs are like a game of chess,
I too have once been in the prime of life.
The young ones, bustling about, need not be judged,
As time pushes on, they will come to know it themselves.
揭示了关于生命阶段与幸福感知的认知偏差。
少年不识老境之苦,以为欢乐能长久,对比中见人生感慨。
本诗为杂言古诗,押平声韵。
