百忧袭暮年,怀抱日骚屑。
虽云归故乡,何异万里客。
穷冬迫寒饿,凛有在陈厄。
驾言适近村,惨惨天欲雪。
人沽村市酒,马啮山坡麦。
旅炊杂沙土,得饱何暇择。
手皲若龟兆,面槁无人色。
士穷自其分,所幸全大节。
功名已甑堕,身世真瓦裂。
不学玉关人,饥鹰方夜掣。
百忧袭暮年,怀抱日骚屑。
虽云归故乡,何异万里客。
穷冬迫寒饿,凛有在陈厄。
驾言适近村,惨惨天欲雪。
人沽村市酒,马啮山坡麦。
旅炊杂沙土,得饱何暇择。
手皲若龟兆,面槁无人色。
士穷自其分,所幸全大节。
功名已甑堕,身世真瓦裂。
不学玉关人,饥鹰方夜掣。
百般忧愁侵袭着我的暮年,
胸怀中日日充满烦扰与不安。
虽说已经回到了故乡,
又与远行万里的客子有何两样?
严冬逼迫,忍受着寒冷与饥饿,
凛冽的处境,如同孔子在陈国受困那般窘迫。
驾车前往附近的村庄,
天色惨淡,眼看就要下雪。
人们在村市沽酒,
马儿在山坡上啃食麦苗。
旅途中的炊饭夹杂着沙土,
能吃饱已无暇挑剔选择。
双手皲裂如同龟甲占卜的裂纹,
面容枯槁,毫无人色。
士人困窘本是命中应有之分,
所幸还能保全大节。
功名已如坠地的瓦甑般破碎,
身世真的像瓦片一样四分五裂。
不去学那玉门关的守将,
像饥饿的鹰隼在夜空飞掣。
A hundred sorrows assail my twilight years,
My heart is daily vexed and full of fears.
Though I've returned to my homeland, they say,
How different from a wanderer far away?
Deep winter presses with cold and hunger's sting,
A dire peril, as if in Chen, suffering.
I drive my cart to a village drawing near,
The gloomy sky threatens snow, dark and drear.
Men buy wine from the rustic market fair,
My horse gnaws at the wheat on the hillside there.
The traveler's meal is mixed with sand and clay,
To get a fill, no time to pick and choose, I pray.
My hands are chapped like cracks on a tortoise shell,
My face is gaunt, of human hue, none can tell.
A scholar's poverty is his destined part,
Yet fortunate to keep his integrity of heart.
Fame and merit have fallen like a broken pot,
My life and world are shattered, a ruined lot.
I'll not learn from the man at Jade Gate Pass,
A hungry eagle, tearing through night, alas.
暮年困境映射个体在生命周期中的普遍焦虑。
暮年百忧交集,心怀愁闷难平。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
