問翁幾何年,翁年七十餘。
尚作蠹書蟲,嗟翁一何愚。
旋增通典缺,旋修阜陵書。
毫芒集閲盡,白編還卷舒。
五詩諷被底,柳集誦日晡。
玩物能喪志,聖賢言皦如。
賦受有奇偏,誰能為耘鋤。
問翁幾何年,翁年七十餘。
尚作蠹書蟲,嗟翁一何愚。
旋增通典缺,旋修阜陵書。
毫芒集閲盡,白編還卷舒。
五詩諷被底,柳集誦日晡。
玩物能喪志,聖賢言皦如。
賦受有奇偏,誰能為耘鋤。
詢問老翁年紀多大,老翁說已七十多歲。
還像蛀書蟲一樣埋頭書卷,唉,老翁是多麼愚鈍啊!
剛補上《通典》的缺漏,又去修纂阜陵的書籍。
細微之處都蒐集閱覽遍了,白色的書卷展開又捲起。
在被子底下諷誦五首詩,吟詠柳宗元的文集直到黃昏。
沉溺玩賞事物會喪失志向,聖賢的話說得明白透徹。
天賦的稟性各有奇特偏頗,誰能來為他除草耕耘呢?
I ask the old man his age, he says he's past seventy.
Still he burrows in books like a bookworm, alas, how foolish he seems!
Now he adds to the gaps in the Tongdian, now mends the books of Fuling.
He gathers every fine detail, reading through, rolling and unrolling the plain scrolls.
Five poems he chants beneath his quilt, the works of Liu he recites till dusk.
Trifling with things can make one lose his will, as the sages' words shine clear.
Our innate gifts are oddly skewed, who can then do the weeding and hoeing?
認知視角下,終身學習是對生命週期的積極治理。
描繪老翁年邁仍勤學不輟,展現對知識的執著追求。
本詩為五言古詩,押平聲韻。
