少年携艺试东都,一鼓无成怒奋须。
便把龙韬取官职,欲随鹏海混程途。
清言自可容平子,文笔谁堪答挚虞。
要使貂蝉出金鍪,腐儒宁不愧操觚。
少年携艺试东都,一鼓无成怒奋须。
便把龙韬取官职,欲随鹏海混程途。
清言自可容平子,文笔谁堪答挚虞。
要使貂蝉出金鍪,腐儒宁不愧操觚。
少年时带着才艺去东都应试;
一次击鼓进攻未能成功,愤怒得胡须奋张。
于是便想凭借用兵韬略来获取官职;
意图追随大鹏混迹于海上的路途。
你清雅的言谈自然可与平子(张衡)相容;
谁的文笔能够堪当答复挚虞(晋代学者)呢?
要让貂蝉冠饰从金盔之下显露出来;
我这迂腐的儒生岂不惭愧于执笔为文?
In youth, with talents, to the eastern capital he came;
Defeated at first try, his anger flared, his beard aflame.
He then sought office through the arts of war and strategy;
Wishing to follow the roc's sea-path, his destiny.
Your refined speech could well match the wit of Pingzi's day;
Whose pen could rival yours, to answer Zhi Yu, pray?
To make the sable-tail adornment rise from the gold helm—
Should a pedant like me not feel ashamed to wield the pen?
早期挫折激发的奋斗治理,指向个人成长的必经路径。
追忆少年时携艺赴试东都却未能一举成功,因而发奋图强的经历。
本诗为七言律诗,押平声韵。
