翯然毛羽净,绰与秋风宜。
阔步循广庭,伸吭矜羽仪。
稻粱谋几何,终然遭絷羁。
岂衒云外标,遂为时所縻。
因知古清士,削迹畏人知。
翯然毛羽净,绰与秋风宜。
阔步循广庭,伸吭矜羽仪。
稻粱谋几何,终然遭絷羁。
岂衒云外标,遂为时所縻。
因知古清士,削迹畏人知。
它的羽毛光洁,纯净而明亮,
与秋风是如此的相宜。
它迈着阔步在宽广的庭院中行走,
伸长脖颈,矜持地展示着仪态。
为谋求稻粱又能有多少呢?
终究还是遭到了束缚。
难道是为了炫耀云外的风标吗?
竟被世俗所羁縻。
由此可知古代的清廉之士,
隐匿行迹,唯恐被人知晓。
Its feathers pristine, pure and bright,
So fitting for the autumn breeze.
With measured steps it treads the courtyard wide,
And lifts its throat, proud of its graceful guise.
How much does it need mere paddy and grain?
Yet in the end, it's caught and bound.
Does it flaunt its mark beyond the clouds?
Only to be tethered by the times.
Thus we know the ancient men of purity,
Who hid their tracks, fearing to be known.
物象的洁净象征理想治理下的身份认同与道德周期。
赞美白鹤羽毛洁净、姿态优雅,与秋风相宜的高洁形象。
本诗为五言古诗,押平声韵。
