雙語(yǔ)詩(shī)歌翻譯|蘇軾-《洗兒戲作》

《洗兒戲作》是宋代文學(xué)家蘇軾創(chuàng)作的一首七絕。全詩(shī)以一個(gè)“望”字，寫(xiě)盡了人們對(duì)孩子的期待；以一個(gè)“誤”字，道盡了作者一生的遭遇。后兩句是氣話，是顛倒過(guò)來(lái)說(shuō)的人生感慨。此詩(shī)表面上寫(xiě)的是孩子的教育話題，實(shí)則對(duì)官場(chǎng)進(jìn)行了嬉笑式的諷刺，表現(xiàn)了作者玩世不恭、憤世嫉俗之意。

《洗兒戲作》 蘇軾

人皆養(yǎng)子望聰明，我被聰明誤一生。
惟愿孩兒愚且魯，無(wú)災(zāi)無(wú)難到公卿。

The Washing of the Infant
Su Shi

Most men, bringing up sons, wish for them intellect;
But I by my intellect have had a lifetime of failure.
I would only desire that my child should be simple and dull,
That with no ill fortune and no trouble he may attain to highest office.
