赵彦春英译曹植《赠徐干诗》
惊风飘白日。
忽然归西山。
圆景光未满。
众星灿以繁。
志士营世业。
小人亦不闲。
聊且夜行游。
游彼双阙间。
文昌郁云兴。
迎风高中天。
春鸠鸣飞栋。
流猋激棂轩。
顾念蓬室士。
贫贱诚足怜。
薇藿弗充虚。
皮褐犹不全。
慷慨有悲心。
兴文自成篇。
宝弃怨何人。
和氏有其愆。
弹冠俟知己。
知己谁不然。
良田无晚岁。
膏泽多丰年。
亮怀璠玙美。
积久德愈宣。
亲交义在敦。
申章复何言。
To Xu Gan
A scurry blows to reach the sun,
Which to the western hills will sink.
The moon rising is not yet round;
The stars all glimmer with a blink.
Great men work hard for their careers;
Mean as I am, I’ve no free hours.
At night I go for a free walk,
A walk between the Two towers.
Before the Letters Hall clouds rise;
The Wind Shrine juts into the sky.
A scurry hits the window panes;
The turtledoves on the eaves cry.
I think of you lodged in a hut,
Impoverished, and in despair.
The fern leaves can’t fill your stomach,
And you’ve no enough clothes to wear.
You are excited while you sigh,
And soon can compose a poem.
The treasure’s neglected, whose fault?
A good connoisseur is to blame.
To be known, you need a lead-in;
Everyone thinks himself so dear.
A good field is not late for crops;
A rich farm will see a good year.
Good virtue, like beautiful jade,
The more time goes, the more it’s out.
A good friend is for good advice;
Besides this, what can I talk about?
