Listen to this article回车驾言迈[1]
无名氏
回车驾言迈，
悠悠涉[2]长道。
四顾何茫茫，
东风摇百草[3]。
所遇无故物，
焉得不速老[4]？
盛衰各有时，
立身苦不早。
人生非金石，
岂能长寿考？
奄忽随物化，
荣名以为宝。
注释：
[1] 言：语气助词。迈，远行。
[2] 涉：渡水。
[3] 百草：这里指新生的草，节序推移，新陈代谢，去年的枯草成为故物。
[4] 焉得不速老：由眼前事物产生对人生的联想，草很容易由荣而枯，人又何尝不是很快地由少而老呢？
I Turn my Carriage and Set Out
Anonymous
I turn my carriage and set out;
Along an endless road I pass.
I see a wilderness about;
The eastern wind shakes grass on grass.
I meet with no thing old at all.
Can I not olden nevertheless?
Every thing has its rise and fall.
Do not delay to win success!
Man is not made of metal or stones.
Can we live to hundred years old?
We’ll soon become a heap of bones.
Let’s value glory more than gold!
