群鱼一何微,仅比毛发大。
嬉游极草草,鬓鬣自个个。
造物赋群形,偶然如一唾。
吞舟虽云巨,其乐不相过。
若言无性灵,还知避船柂。
群鱼一何微,仅比毛发大。
嬉游极草草,鬓鬣自个个。
造物赋群形,偶然如一唾。
吞舟虽云巨,其乐不相过。
若言无性灵,还知避船柂。
这群鱼是多么微小,
仅仅比毛发大一点。
它们嬉戏游玩极其随意,
各自的鳍和鳞片清晰可辨。
造物主赋予了它们群像,
偶然得如同随口一唾。
虽说能吞舟的巨鱼很大,
但它的快乐也未必超过它们。
如果说它们没有灵性,
可还知道躲避船的尾舵。
How tiny are these shoals of fish,
Scarcely larger than a strand of hair.
Their play is utterly carefree,
Each fin and scale distinct and clear.
The Creator bestowed these myriad forms,
As casual as a single spit.
Though the whale that swallows boats is huge,
Its joy does not surpass their own.
If you claim they lack soul and wit,
See how they still dodge the ship's stern.
微观生命揭示生态系统的复杂博弈。
以微小鱼群为对象,寄寓对渺小生命的观照
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
