睡味甜如蜜,人情冷似漿。
流年垂及耄,客子固多傷。
興發雞豚社,心闌翰墨場。
吾兒姑力穡,莫羨笏堆床。
睡味甜如蜜,人情冷似漿。
流年垂及耄,客子固多傷。
興發雞豚社,心闌翰墨場。
吾兒姑力穡,莫羨笏堆床。
睡眠的滋味甜美如蜜,
而人情世故卻冷淡似水。
流逝的歲月已迫近耄耋之年,
客居他鄉的遊子本就多感傷。
偶爾也會興起參與鄉村雞豚社祭的念頭,
但心中對筆墨文章之事的熱情已漸趨闌珊。
我的孩子們,姑且專心致力於農耕吧,
不要去羨慕那些官笏堆滿床榻的顯貴。
Sleep tastes as sweet as honey, pure and deep,
Yet human feelings chill like water, thin and cheap.
The fleeting years approach the age of hoary hair,
A wanderer's heart is laden with constant care.
At times, I long for feasts with fowl and swine in the village fair,
But oft, my zeal for scholarly pursuits grows faint and bare.
My sons, just focus on your toil in the field with might,
Don't envy those with piles of official tablets in their sight.
甜睡冷漿的對比,是對人情世故的深刻認知。
以對比手法表達歸隱之願與對世態炎涼的厭倦。
本詩為五言律詩,押平聲韻。
