怪底昌园一种梅,老枝强项独迟开。
伶俜鹤膝翻嫌瘦,皴皵龙鳞不受摧。
羞把冰肌混桃李,故将粉面映莓苔。
广平铁石心犹在,宁有诗情似玉台。
怪底昌园一种梅,老枝强项独迟开。
伶俜鹤膝翻嫌瘦,皴皵龙鳞不受摧。
羞把冰肌混桃李,故将粉面映莓苔。
广平铁石心犹在,宁有诗情似玉台。
我奇怪为何昌园里唯独这一种梅树,
苍老的枝干倔强地独自迟迟开放。
伶仃的枝条像鹤膝般翻动,反倒嫌自己太清瘦,
树皮皴裂如龙鳞,却不受摧残。
羞于让冰洁的肌肤与桃李混同,
所以特意将粉白的面容映照在莓苔之上。
广平(宋璟)那铁石般的心志依然存在,
怎会有诗情像那华美的玉台一般呢?
I wonder why in Chang's garden this plum alone,
With stubborn old branches, blooms so late and forlorn.
Like a crane's thin knee, it seems too gaunt and spare,
Its bark like dragon scales, no harshness can it bear.
Ashamed to mix its icy skin with peach and plum,
It turns its powdered face to moss, a contrast glum.
Guangping's heart of iron and stone still holds its ground,
Could poetic feeling like a jade terrace be found?
古梅迟开是对生命博弈的独特回应。
咏赞古梅倔强迟开,寄托孤高自守的志趣。
本诗为七言律诗,押平声韵。
