直饶枝干凌霄去,犹有根原与地平。
不道花依他树发,强攀红日鬭鲜明。
直饶枝干凌霄去,犹有根原与地平。
不道花依他树发,强攀红日鬭鲜明。
纵然枝干笔直地伸向云霄,
仍有根源与大地紧紧相连。
且不说花朵依傍他树开放,
还硬要攀附红日争比鲜妍。
Though its branches soar straight up to touch the sky,
Its roots remain with the earth, on which they rely.
Not to mention the blooms cling to another's tree,
Forcing their way to vie with the sun's brilliancy.
揭示了事物发展离不开根基的治理逻辑。
以凌霄花为喻,阐述事物虽能高升却离不开根本的道理。
本诗为七言绝句,押平声韵。
