《浪淘沙令》是宋代文學(xué)家王安石的詞作。這首詞歌詠伊尹和呂尚“歷遍窮通”的遭際和名垂千載的功業(yè),以抒發(fā)作者獲得宋神宗的知遇,政治上大展宏圖、春風(fēng)得意的豪邁情懷。它不同于一般古代詩(shī)人詞客種籠統(tǒng)空泛的詠史作品,而是一個(gè)政治家鑒古論今的真實(shí)思想感情的流露。全詞通篇敘史論史,實(shí)則以史托今,蘊(yùn)含作者稱贊明君之情,這正是本篇的巧妙之處。
《浪淘沙令》 王安石
伊呂兩衰翁。歷遍窮通。一為釣叟一耕傭。若使當(dāng)時(shí)身不遇,老了英雄。
湯武偶相逢。風(fēng)虎云龍。興王只在笑談中。直至如今千載后,誰(shuí)與爭(zhēng)功。

The two prime ministers, while young, were poor;
They had been fisherman and peasant before.
Had they not met their sovereigns wise,
In vain would raise the wind the dragon the cloud.
They helped two emperors in laughter.
Now, in a thousand years after,
Who could rival them and be proud?
