七月鳴在野,八月鳴在宇。
九月登我堂,十月入床下。
滔滔歲方晏,促促聲亦苦。
悲秋不悲己,終夜如獨語。
時俗有新聲,誰能一聽汝。
七月鳴在野,八月鳴在宇。
九月登我堂,十月入床下。
滔滔歲方晏,促促聲亦苦。
悲秋不悲己,終夜如獨語。
時俗有新聲,誰能一聽汝。
七月時,蟋蟀在田野間鳴叫;
八月時,它們的叫聲傳到屋簷下。
九月時,它們登上了我的廳堂;
十月時,它們鑽入我的床底。
悠長的歲月即將步入尾聲,
它們急促的鳴聲也顯得悽苦。
它們悲嘆秋日,並非哀憐自身,
整夜鳴叫,如同孤獨的自語。
時下流行著新的曲調,
還有誰願意聽一聽你的聲音呢?
In July, they chirp in the wild fields;
In August, their calls drift near the eaves.
By September, they climb into my hall;
In October, they hide beneath my bed.
The endless year is drawing to its close,
Their hurried chirps are filled with bitter strain.
They mourn the autumn, not their own decline,
All night they seem to whisper, all alone.
The world now favors novel, trendy tunes—
Who will lend an ear to your old refrain?
物候週期成為時間認知的自然標尺。
以蟋蟀鳴叫位置變化,暗示時節推移與物候變遷。
本詩為五言古詩,押平聲韻。
