杜甫: 野望/ Du Fu: A VIEW OF THE WILDERNESS

野望

杜甫

西山白雪三城戍, 南浦清江万里桥。

海内风尘诸弟隔, 天涯涕泪一身遥。

唯将迟暮供多病, 未有涓埃答圣朝。

跨马出郊时极目, 不堪人事日萧条。

 

A VIEW OF THE WILDERNESS

Du Fu

Snow is white on the westward mountains and on three fortified towns,

And waters in this southern lake flash on a long bridge.

But wind and dust from sea to sea bar me from my brothers;

And I cannot help crying, I am so far away.

I have nothing to expect now but the ills of old age.

I am of less use to my country than a grain of dust.

I ride out to the edge of town. I watch on the horizon,

Day after day, the chaos of the world.
