先生雅意在垂虹,底事鸞棲枳棘中。
幾欲上書排北闕,卻應舉扇障西風。
官清高枕夢魂好,興動長吟詩句工。
瑣瑣升沉何足道,只憑心地與天通。
先生雅意在垂虹,底事鸞棲枳棘中。
幾欲上書排北闕,卻應舉扇障西風。
官清高枕夢魂好,興動長吟詩句工。
瑣瑣升沉何足道,只憑心地與天通。
先生您的高雅志趣本在垂虹橋畔,
為何卻讓鸞鳳棲息在枳樹棘叢之中?
多次想要上書朝廷,直言進諫,
卻還是應該舉起扇子,遮擋那西風(喻指阻力或讒言)。
官職清要,便可高枕無憂,夢魂安好;
詩興勃發時,長吟而成的詩句自然精妙。
這些瑣碎的官場沉浮何足掛齒,
只憑一顆澄明的心便能與天道相通。
Your noble heart dwells by the Rainbow Bridge, sir,
Why then does the phoenix perch among thorns and brambles?
Time and again I wished to send memorials north to the palace gate,
Yet should rather raise my fan to shield against the west wind.
With a pure office, one can pillow high and dreams are sweet;
When inspiration stirs, long chants make poems fine.
What's the worth in speaking of trivial rises and falls?
Only through a clear heart can one commune with Heaven.
以鸞棲枳棘隱喻人才與環境的治理困境。
表達對友人鬱簿雖懷才不遇卻志趣高潔的讚賞與同情。
本詩為七言律詩,押平聲韻。
