《房兵曹胡马诗》 杜甫
胡马大宛名，锋棱瘦骨成。
竹批双耳峻，风入四蹄轻。
所向无空阔，真堪托死生。
骁腾有如此，万里可横行。
Officer Fang’s Barbarian Steed
Du Fu
Barbarian steed, pride of Ferghana (1),
all jags and angles, well-knit bones;
two ears cocked, like bamboo tubes split sideways;
four hoofs fleet, as though buoyed on the wind.
Wherever headed, no distance too challenging,
fit indeed for a life-or-death charge.
With a mount superlative as this,
ten-thousand-mile sorties are at your command!
1. Ferghana in Central Asia was renowned for its fine horses.
