送别
王维 〔唐代〕
下马饮君酒，问君何所之？
君言不得意，归卧南山陲。
但去莫复问，白云无尽时。
| Down horse drink gentleman alcohol Ask gentleman what place go Gentleman say not achieve wish Return lie south mountain near Still go nothing more ask White cloud not exhaust time | Dismounting, I offer my friend a cup of wine, I ask what place he is headed to. He says he has not achieved his aims, Is retiring to the southern hills. Now go, and ask me nothing more, White clouds will drift on for all time. |
