雙語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌翻譯|杜甫-《空囊》

《空囊》是唐代大詩(shī)人杜甫所作的一首五律。此詩(shī)通過(guò)寫詩(shī)人自己的空囊，以小見(jiàn)大，反映當(dāng)時(shí)社會(huì)戰(zhàn)亂動(dòng)蕩仍未平息的景象，以及詩(shī)人的遭遇與社會(huì)底層人民生活極其艱難的境況。全詩(shī)措語(yǔ)平實(shí)，莊諧間出，音律拗折，聲情相符。

《空囊》 杜甫

翠柏苦猶食，明霞高可餐。
世人共魯莽，吾道屬艱難。
不爨井晨?jī)?，無(wú)衣床夜寒。
囊空恐羞澀，留得一錢看。

Empty Moneybag
Du Fu
Fruit of the azure oak, bitter but edible,
dawn mists, high up, but one can dine on them. 1
Others all bumble along somehow—
why is my way such a tangle of woes?
Nothing on the stove, the well at dawn frozen,
no decent clothing, bed at night so cold;
but an empty moneybag—that shame I dread,
so I cling to this lone copper coin.
1. Azure oak acorns and the rosy mists of dawn were said to be the food of immortal spirits.
