翩然一鴉升,倏爾一鴟下。
非惟飽殘餘,亦可免彈射。
巡簷攫脯脩,入舍掠膾炙。
嗟汝無盈厭,坐是取驅嚇。
物情貴能改,一眚亦可貰。
併語黃雀羣,勿輕敗吾稼。
翩然一鴉升,倏爾一鴟下。
非惟飽殘餘,亦可免彈射。
巡簷攫脯脩,入舍掠膾炙。
嗟汝無盈厭,坐是取驅嚇。
物情貴能改,一眚亦可貰。
併語黃雀羣,勿輕敗吾稼。
一隻烏鴉翩然飛升,
一隻鷂鷹倏忽下降。
不僅能飽食殘羹剩飯,
也可免遭彈弓射傷。
巡繞屋簷抓取干肉,
闖入屋舍掠奪膾炙。
可嘆你們貪得無厭,
因此招致驅趕恐嚇。
物之情理貴在能改,
一次過失也可寬赦。
一併告誡黃雀羣鳥,
莫要輕易毀我莊稼。
A crow soars up, light and free,
A hawk swoops down, suddenly.
They feast on leftovers, it's true,
And thus escape the arrow's due.
They snatch dried meat from eaves in flight,
And raid the house for roast and bite.
Alas, your greed knows no restraint,
Hence you incur this fierce complaint.
All creatures should mend their own way,
A single fault might be forgone today.
And tell the sparrows in their throng,
Do not lightly spoil my crops, for long.
鳥的博弈象徵權力更迭,體現對動態平衡的認知。
通過鴉與鴟的倏忽升降,暗喻世事變幻與人生起伏。
本詩為五言古詩,押平聲韻。
