波斯短歌行译笺 其十六 当代 · 钟锦
七言绝句 押支韵
富贵区区徒尔为，荣华谁见不曾衰？
茫茫一片胡沙雪，明灭逼人能几时？
注：○徒尔为：徒然也。任昉《述异记》卷四：“石犬不可吠，铜驼徒尔为。”○胡沙：边外之沙漠也。鲍君徽 《关山月》诗：“朔风悲边草，胡沙暗虏营。”○明灭：忽明忽暗貌。李白《梦游天姥吟留别》:“云霞明灭或可睹。”
The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon
Turns Ashes—or it prospers; and anon,
Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face,
Lighting a little hour or two—is gone.
The Worldly Hope men set their Hearts upon
Turns Ashes—or it prospers; and anon,
Like Snow upon the Desert's dusty Face,
Lighting a little hour or two—is gone.
