唐詩三百首英譯 張九齡:感遇其一

字號:

五言古詩
    張九齡
    感遇其一
    孤鴻海上來, 池潢不敢顧;
    側(cè)見雙翠鳥, 巢在三珠樹。
    矯矯珍木巔, 得無金丸懼?
    美服患人指, 高明逼神惡。
    今我游冥冥, 弋者何所慕?

    THOUGHTS I
    A lonely swan from the sea flies,
    To alight on puddles it does not deign.
    Nesting in the poplar of pearls
    It spies and questions green birds twain:
    “Don't you fear the threat of slings,
    Perched on top of branches so high?
    Nice clothes invite pointing fingers,
    High climbers god's good will defy.
    Bird-hunters will crave me in vain,
    For I roam the limitless sky.”
