昔时南面并称孤,今日还为绛灌徒。
忍死祗能添屈辱,偷生不足爱须臾。
一朝从殉倾群客,千古生风激懦夫。
直使强颜臣汉帝,韩彭未必免同诛。
昔时南面并称孤,今日还为绛灌徒。
忍死祗能添屈辱,偷生不足爱须臾。
一朝从殉倾群客,千古生风激懦夫。
直使强颜臣汉帝,韩彭未必免同诛。
往昔你南面称王,与诸侯并立,
如今却沦为绛侯、灌婴的仆从。
忍辱偷生只会增添屈辱,
苟且活着也不值得贪恋片刻光阴。
一旦你追随田横殉死,门客们也倾心相随,
千古以来,你的气节激荡着懦弱者的心灵。
即使你勉强自己向汉帝称臣,
韩信和彭越也未必能免于同样的诛杀命运。
In days of old, you faced south, a lord among peers,
But now you're reduced to a follower of Jiang and Guan.
Enduring death would only add to your shame and tears,
A stolen life is not worth clinging to, even for a moment's span.
Once you chose to follow your lord in death, your retinue all fell,
For a thousand ages, your spirit stirs the timid, a tale to tell.
Even if you had forced a smile and bowed to the Han Emperor's might,
Han Xin and Peng Yue might not have escaped a similar, grim plight.
通过历史周期审视气节与权力的永恒博弈。
借田横墓抒发对气节与命运的深沉感慨。
本诗为七言律诗,押平声韵。
