外物不可必,一官非我心。
荣生在适分,素愿乃山林。
知恩已三年,趣幕不觉深。
因君累幅书,更激浩叹音。
衮衮旦复暮,劳劳古犹今。
其谁有功名,不顾忧患侵。
富贵岂不欲,才力视所任。
长鲸舞天渊,寸鲋安牛涔。
性亦各得耳,何为辨差参。
夫子方得路,未应弃光阴。
咨余厌卑摧,谋望止尺寻。
誓买五亩宅,归休以浮沉。
耕渔入程途,文字亦所钦。
看子展云翼,腾凌和薰琴。
还将草堂书,敌子朱与金。

外在事物没有必然之理,一官半职并非我的心愿。
荣耀在于安守本分,我素来的愿望乃是归隐山林。
感知您的恩情已有三年,向往幕府之情不觉加深。
因您长篇的书信,更激起了我深长的叹息之音。
纷扰的旦暮循环往复,劳碌古今皆然。
有谁获取了功名利禄,却能不顾忧患的侵扰?
富贵岂是我不想要?这要看才能能否胜任。
长鲸在天渊中舞动,寸鲋只安于牛蹄迹中的积水。
性情各自得以安适罢了,何必去分辨其中的参差。
夫子您正踏上通达之路,不应虚度光阴。
可叹我厌倦了卑微摧折,谋求的期望仅止于咫尺之间。
我发誓要购置五亩宅地,归隐休憩,任凭沉浮。
耕田捕鱼将列入我的日程,诗文也是我所钦慕的。
看您舒展如云的羽翼,腾跃凌空,应和着薰风琴韵。
我仍将携着草堂中的书卷,来匹敌您的朱绂与金印。
External things are never certain; an official post is not my heart's desire.
Honor lies in fitting one's station; my simple wish has always been for mountains and woods.
Knowing your favor for three years now, my attachment to your office grows without my notice.
Because of your many-paged letter, my sighs of deep feeling are stirred anew.
The bustling days pass morn to dusk; toil and labor, ancient as today.
Who, having won fame and merit, can avoid the encroachment of worry and hardship?
Do I not desire wealth and honor? It depends on the strength one can bear.
A giant whale dances in the sky's abyss, while a tiny minnow is content in a puddle.
Each nature finds its proper place; why argue over differences?
You, sir, are just now on the path to success; you should not waste the light and shade.
As for me, weary of lowly struggles, my hopes extend no further than a foot's measure.
I vow to buy a plot of five acres, to retire there and float or sink with fate.
Plowing and fishing shall be my course; literature too remains my admiration.
I watch you spread your cloud-like wings, soaring high with the harmony of a warm zither.
I shall yet bring my thatched cottage writings, to match your vermilion and gold.
在个体与体制的博弈中,坚守内在认同。
诗人表达了对仕途的疏离与对内心自由的追求。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
