老人朝夕异,生死每日中。
坐随一啜安,卧与万景空。
视短不到门,听涩讵逐风。
还如刻削形,免有纤悉聪。
浪浪谢初始,皎皎幸归终。
孤隔文章友,亲密蒿莱翁。
岁绿闵以黄,秋节迸又穷。
四时既相迫,万虑自然丛。
南逸浩淼际,北贫硗确中。
曩怀沈遥江,衰思结秋嵩。
锄食难满腹,叶衣多丑躬。
尘缕不自整,古吟将谁通。
幽竹啸鬼神,楚铁生虬龙。
志士多异感,运郁由邪衷。
常思书破衣,至死教初童。
习乐莫习声,习声多顽聋。
明明胸中言,愿写为高崇。

老人早晚心境不同,
生死之感每日萦绕。
坐着随一口饮食而安,
卧着则与万千景象一同空寂。
视力短浅看不到门外,
听觉迟钝怎能追逐风声?
我还像被刻削过的形体,
幸免了纤毫毕现的聪敏。
涤荡净尽,告别初始,
皎洁光明,幸得善终。
与文章之友孤隔疏远,
与草野老翁亲密无间。
岁月由绿转黄令人哀悯,
秋节迸发后又归穷尽。
四季已然相互催迫,
万般忧虑自然丛生。
南方是浩渺无际的远方,
北方是贫瘠坚硬的所在。
往昔的情怀沉入遥远的江底,
衰颓的思绪凝结在秋日的嵩山。
锄地所得难饱腹,
树叶为衣多使身姿丑陋。
如尘的思绪不自整理,
古调吟咏将向谁倾诉?
幽竹长啸似通鬼神,
楚地铁器能化生虬龙。
志士常怀异样感慨,
命运郁结源于心术不正。
常想将文字写在破衣上,
至死也要教诲初学的孩童。
习乐莫只习其声,
只习其声多成顽固聋聩。
明明胸中有言,
愿书写出来成为崇高的篇章。
An old man differs from morning to night,
Life and death are in each day.
Sitting, I find peace with a sip,
Lying down, I empty myself of ten thousand scenes.
My sight is short, cannot reach the gate,
My hearing dull, how to chase the wind?
I am like a carved figure,
Spared the minutiae of sharp hearing.
Wash away, thank the initial state,
Bright and clear, fortunate to return to the end.
Estranged from literary friends,
Intimate with the old man among weeds.
The year's green pities into yellow,
Autumn's node bursts forth then ends.
The four seasons press upon each other,
Ten thousand worries naturally gather.
To the south, vast and boundless horizons,
To the north, barren and stony lands.
Past thoughts sink in distant rivers,
Failing thoughts knot in autumn peaks.
Hoeing for food hardly fills the belly,
Leaf-clothes mostly shame the body.
Dusty threads I do not tidy,
Ancient chants, to whom shall they be known?
Bamboos whisper to ghosts and gods,
Chu iron gives birth to coiling dragons.
A man of purpose has many strange feelings,
Stifled fortune stems from twisted heart.
Often think of writing on torn clothes,
Till death, teaching young children.
Learn music, not just its sounds,
Learning sounds often leads to stubborn deafness.
Clearly, the words in my breast,
I wish to write them high and lofty.
孟郊晚年自述,穷困潦倒。
诗人以极端贫困为背景,探讨精神认同在物质匮乏下的坚守与表达。
诗人通过秋日景象抒写衰老困顿中的生命感悟与坚守之志
