送者臨門廡,徵人暮路歧。
翻思津遣後,可奈獨歸時。
歲旱田疇薄,家貧母子離。
能忘手中綿,密密綴衣濕。
送者臨門廡,徵人暮路歧。
翻思津遣後,可奈獨歸時。
歲旱田疇薄,家貧母子離。
能忘手中綿,密密綴衣濕。
送行的人站在門廊下,
遠行的人在日暮時分踏上岔路。
回想起當初在渡口被送別之後,
怎能忍受如今獨自歸來的時刻。
年成乾旱,田地貧瘠,
家境貧困,母子被迫分離。
怎能忘記她手中拿著的棉線,
一針針密密地縫補衣服,淚水沾溼了衣襟。
Farewell at the gate, the senders stand beneath the eaves;
The traveler sets out at dusk where the forked road leaves.
I recall the moment when I was sent off from the shore;
How can I bear the loneliness of returning alone once more?
The year is dry, the fields are barren and lean;
The home is poor, mother and son must part, it's a bitter scene.
Can I forget the cotton thread held in her hand?
Stitch by stitch, she mends my clothes, tears wetting the strand.
暮路歧途映射人生週期中的抉擇與分離博弈。
刻畫送別時送者臨門、徵人暮路分岐的場景,抒發離別的傷感與路途的迷茫。
本詩為五言律詩,押平聲韻。
