四围乔木尽儿孙,曾见吴宫几度春。
若使当年成大厦,也应随例作灰尘。
四围乔木尽儿孙,曾见吴宫几度春。
若使当年成大厦,也应随例作灰尘。
四周高大的树木都是它的子孙后代,
它曾见证吴国宫殿历经了多少个春天。
假使当年被砍伐去建造高楼大厦,
想必也会依照惯例,最终化为灰烬。
Surrounded by lofty trees, all its progeny and kin,
It witnessed the Wu palace through many a spring.
Had it been felled back then to build a mansion grand,
It too would have followed the rule, turned to dust in the end.
古树作为时间见证,揭示了历史周期的无情规律。
借古树历经吴宫兴衰,抒发世事变迁、生命悠长的感慨。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
