弟病兄孤失所依,当时书语最堪悲。
岂图乞得南州后,却恨寻芳去较迟。
弟病兄孤失所依,当时书语最堪悲。
岂图乞得南州后,却恨寻芳去较迟。
弟弟生病,兄长孤单,失去了依靠;
当时书信中的话语,最是令人悲伤。
哪里料到,在求得南方的官职之后,
却反而悔恨,自己寻访芳踪去得太迟。
The younger brother ill, the elder left alone, bereft of all support;
The words in that letter of the time are most heart-rending to recall.
Who could have foreseen that after begging for a post in the southern province,
He would regret that his search for fragrant blooms had started all too late?
历史人物的孤苦际遇引发对命运周期与认同的深思。
慨叹杜牧兄弟病孤、相依为命的悲苦境遇,充满同情。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
