落日飞山上,山下人呼猎。
出门纵步观,无遑需屐屧。
至则闻猎人,喧然肆牙颊。
或言岐径多,御者因追蹑。
或言御徒希,声势不相接。
或言器械钝,驰逐无所挟。
或言卢犬顽,兽走不能劫。
余笑与之言,善猎气不慑。
汝方未猎时,战气先萎薾。
弱者力不支,勇者胆亦怯。
微哉一雉不能擒,虎豹之血其可喋。
汝不闻去岁淮甸间,熊罴百万临危堞。
往往被甲皆汝曹,何怪师行无凯捷。
呜呼安得善猎与善兵,使我一见而心惬。

落日飞驰过山巅,
山下传来人们呼喊着打猎的声音。
我出门大步前去观看,
匆忙间来不及换鞋。
到了那里就听见猎人们,
喧哗吵闹,肆意谈论。
有的说岔路太多,
驾车的人因此追赶不上。
有的说随从太少,
声势不能相互连接呼应。
有的说器械不锋利,
奔驰追逐时没有依仗。
有的说猎犬顽劣不听使唤,
野兽逃走了也无法拦截。
我笑着对他们说,善于打猎的人气势不该畏缩。
你们还没开始打猎时,
战斗的意气就先已萎靡不振。
体弱的力气支撑不住,
勇猛的人也胆怯害怕。
小到一只野鸡都不能擒获,
又怎能去喋取虎豹的鲜血?
你们没听说去年淮河一带,
百万如熊罴般的敌军兵临危城之下。
当时披甲守城的往往就是你们这些人,
难怪军队出征没有传来胜利的捷报。
唉!怎样才能得到善于狩猎和善于用兵的人,
让我一见就心中满意舒畅。
The sun sets, flying over the mountain high,
Below the hill, the hunters' eager cries.
I step outside to watch them passing by,
No time to change my shoes, in haste I rise.
Arriving, I hear hunters' clamorous sound,
Their boasts and arguments spread all around.
Some say the branching paths are far too wide,
The charioteers lose track on every side.
Some say the hunting party is too few,
Their force and noise cannot the prey subdue.
Some say their weapons have grown dull and old,
In chase, no tool of capture they can hold.
Some say the hounds are stubborn, slow, and weak,
The fleeing beasts escape, no prey they seek.
I smile and tell them, with a hunter's art,
True courage in the chase must play its part.
Before you even start to hunt today,
Your fighting spirit has already decayed.
The weak lack strength to bear the strain and strife,
The brave ones' hearts are filled with fear for life.
A single pheasant you cannot ensnare,
How could you dare to spill the tiger's blood there?
Have you not heard, last year by Huai's domain,
A million bears besieged the walls in vain?
Those clad in armor were all men like you,
No wonder our troops failed to break on through.
Alas! Where can we find a hunter true,
And soldiers skilled, to gladden my heart's view?
狩猎活动展现了人与自然在资源获取上的周期性博弈。
描绘黄昏时分山上飞驰狩猎的壮观场景。
