詩人以病驂自喻,對于當時壓抑人才的弊端痛加諷諫,面對“卻騏驥而不乘兮,策駑駘而取路”(宋玉《九辯》)的社會現(xiàn)實,作者有著幾許感慨,多少不平!詩意委婉深沉,令人回味不盡。
完顏壽·《東郊瘦馬》
此歲無秋畋畝空,病驂誰遣嚙枯叢?
倉儲自益鴛駘肉,獨爾控嘶苜蓿風。
A Lean Horse in an Eastern Suburb
Wanyan Shou
This autumn there is nothing to be cropped in the fields.
A sick steed feeding on withered grass! Whose doing can it be?
Jades getting their feed from granaries are putting on weight;
A steed like you can only neigh at a smell of Lucerne in the wind.
