Chinese Poems

dufu 又呈吴郎 堂前扑枣[1]任西邻， 无食无儿一妇人。 不为[2]困穷宁有此？ 只缘[3]恐惧转须亲[4]。 即防远客虽多事， 便插疏篱[5]却甚真。 已诉征求贫到骨， 正思戎马泪盈巾。 公元767年，杜甫住在瀼西的草堂里。草堂前有几棵枣树，西邻的一个寡妇常来打枣，杜甫从不干涉。后来，杜甫把草堂让给一位姓吴的亲戚，他自己搬到离草堂十几里路远的东屯去。不料这姓吴的一来就在草堂插上篱笆，禁止打枣。寡妇向杜甫诉苦，杜甫便写此诗去劝告吴郎。吴郎的年辈要比杜甫小，而诗人有意地用了“呈”这个不大相称的敬词，这是让吴郎易于接受。全诗措词十分委婉含蓄，因为诗人希望吴郎接收劝告。说明诗人十分同情体谅穷苦人的处境。在这种委婉曲折中，诗人联想到国家大局，以至流下热泪。这首诗作表达了杜甫对穷困人民的深切同情。 注释： [1]扑枣：把枣子打落下来。 [2]不为：如果不是，若非。 [3]只缘：正因为。 [4]转须亲：反而更应该亲近她。 [5]插疏篱：稀稀疏疏地修建了一些篱笆。 For the Tenant of My Thatched Hall Let your west neighbor pick up dates before the hall! A sonless woman now in want of food and all. Could she pick dates if she were not poor to excess? You should be kind to her to make her fear you less. She might be over cautious to be kept away. Why should you put up a fence in your neighbor's way? Stricken to the bones, so pitiable she appears. Thinking of the war flames, how can I not shed tears! 《又呈吴郎》是唐代大诗人杜甫的作品。此诗通过了劝吴郎让寡妇打枣的描述，表现了作者对贫苦百姓的深切同情和关爱。全诗如话家常，语气恳切，朴实动人，诗人用自己的实际行动来启发对方，运用散文中常用的虚字来作转接，在委婉曲折的夹叙夹议中来展现诗人的心理和品质，使作品既有律诗的形式美、音乐美，又有散文的灵活性，抑扬顿挫，耐人寻味，别具一种活泼、疏散之美。 "For the Tenant of My Thatched Hall" is a work by Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. This poem shows the author's deep sympathy and care for the poor people through the description of persuading Wu Lang to let the widow beat dates. The poet uses his own practical actions to inspire the other side, uses the usual dummy words in prose to make transitions, and shows the poet's psychology and qualities in a euphemistic and twisted interlude of narrative and discussion, so that the work has both the formal…...

dufu 短歌行赠王郎司直 王郎酒酣拔剑斫地[1]歌莫哀！ 我能拔尔抑塞[2]磊落之奇才。 豫章翻风白日动， 鲸鱼跋浪沧溟[3]开。 且脱佩剑休徘徊[4]。 西得诸侯棹[5]锦水， 欲向何门趿[6]珠履？ 仲宣楼头春色深， 青眼高歌望吾子。 眼中之人吾老矣！ 这首诗作于公元768年，诗人到达江陵后的春末。上半首表达劝慰王郎之意。王郎在江陵不得志，趁着酒兴正浓，拔剑起舞，斫地悲歌，杜甫劝他不要悲哀。当时王郎正要西行入蜀，杜甫久居四川，表示可以替王郎推荐，所以说“我能拔尔”，把你这俊伟不凡的奇才从压抑苦闷中解脱出来，并盛赞王郎的杰出才能。下半首抒写送行之情。诗人说以王郎的奇才，此去西川，一定会得到高官的赏识，却不知要投在谁的门下。诗人对王郎青眼有加，故高歌寄予厚望，并叹道：你正值青春，前途不可限量，不像我，已经老了。抒发自己才不得施的无奈和悲凉，也含有劝诫王郎之意。 注释： [1]斫（zhuó）地：砍地。 [2]抑塞：郁闷，压抑。 [3]沧溟（mínɡ）：大海。 [4]休徘徊：不要犹豫不决。 [5]棹（zhào）：划船的工具，此处泛指船。 [6]趿（tà）：拖着鞋子。 For a Young Friend My dear drunken young friend, You draw your sword to strike the ground and sing your plaint. I can help you to end Your grief and develop your talent without restraint. You are a giant tree on which sunbeams would quiver, Or a leviathan whale to make upsurge a river. So why should you strike the ground with your sword and shiver? If you go west to cross the River of Brocade, On whose door would you lean and on whose balustrade? The tower for talents is built in vernal hue, All longing eyes are singing and waiting for you, Bit in your eyes I'm an old man. What can I do? 《短歌行赠王郎司直》是唐代大诗人杜甫创作的一首送别诗，也是一首感慨怀才不遇的诗作。此诗前五句表达劝慰王郎之意，后五句抒写送行之情。全诗突兀横绝，跌宕悲凉，节奏短促，在古诗中较少见，亦独创之格。作者通过这首诗的短促节奏，来表达感慨友人王司直空有满腔抱负，却无处可施的一种悲愤之情。 The poem " For a Young Friend" is a farewell poem written by Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, and also a poem lamenting his lack of talent. The first five lines of the poem express the intention of comforting Wang Lang, while the second five lines express the sentiment of seeing him off. The whole poem is abrupt, downbeat…...
