枥上病骢蹄袅袅,江边废宅路迢迢。
自经梅雨长垂耳,乍食菰浆欲折腰。
金络衔头光未灭,玉花毛色瘦来焦。
曾听禁漏惊街鼓,惯踏康庄怕小桥。
夜半雄声心尚壮,日中高卧尾还摇。
龙媒落地天池远,何事牵牛在碧霄。
枥上病骢蹄袅袅,江边废宅路迢迢。
自经梅雨长垂耳,乍食菰浆欲折腰。
金络衔头光未灭,玉花毛色瘦来焦。
曾听禁漏惊街鼓,惯踏康庄怕小桥。
夜半雄声心尚壮,日中高卧尾还摇。
龙媒落地天池远,何事牵牛在碧霄。
槽枥上的病骏马蹄步无力,
江边废宅前的道路遥远。
自从经历梅雨便长久垂着耳朵,
刚吃茭白汤就想要弯腰。
金制的马嚼头光泽未灭,
玉花般的毛色因消瘦而枯焦。
曾因听到宫中的漏声而惊于街鼓,
习惯走康庄大道如今却害怕小桥。
夜半嘶鸣雄心尚在,
日中高卧尾巴还在摇动。
龙媒坠落地上远离天池,
为何牵牛星还在碧空之上?
On the manger, the sick piebald's hooves are weak,
By the river, the abandoned house, the road is long.
Since the rainy season, its ears have long drooped,
Upon first eating wild rice soup, it almost bends its waist.
The golden bridle-bit's gleam is not yet extinguished,
Its jade-flower coat, now thin, has turned gaunt.
Once it startled at street drums, hearing the palace clepsydra,
Accustomed to broad roads, it now fears small bridges.
At midnight, its heroic whinny shows heart still strong,
At noon, lying still, its tail yet sways.
A dragon-steed fallen to earth, far from the heavenly pool,
Why is the Herd-boy star still up in the azure sky?
罗隐以病马喻己,抒写怀才不遇之愤。
通过骏马今昔对比,深刻映射了人才在时代周期中的沉浮命运。
描绘一匹曾经神骏如今病瘦的老马,寄托怀才不遇的感慨。
