秋兴八首 (三) Autumn Meditations (3)

杜甫 Du Fu

千 家 山 郭 静 朝 晖
A mountain suburb of a thousand homes in the quiet morning light,
qiān jiā shān guō jìng cháo huī
一 日 江 楼 坐 翠 微
All day I sit by the river in my tower on the green hill.
yī rì jiāng lóu zuò cuì wēi
信 宿 渔 人 还 泛 泛
For two nights the fishermen have stayed there floating, floating,
xìn sù yú rén hái fàn fàn yī
清 秋 燕 子 故 飞 飞
In the clear autumn still the swallows fly and fly.
qīng qiū yàn zi gù fēi fēi
匡 衡 抗 疏 功 名 薄
Kuang Heng submitted memorials; I've won little praise,
kuāng héng kàng shū gōng míng báo
刘 向 传 经 心 事 违
Liu Xiang passed on the classics; my wishes are not realised.
liú xiàng chuán jīng xīn shì wéi yī
同 学 少 年 多 不 贱
The schoolmates of my early years mostly are not poor,
tóng xué shǎo nián duō bù jiàn
五 陵 衣 马 自 轻 肥
In the five tomb towns their furs and horses light and fat.
wǔ líng yī mǎ zì qīng féi
