Gao E: An Ancient Double-Edged Sword~ 高鹗·《古剑》 with English Translations

Listen to this article

《古剑》是清代文学家高鹗创作的一首七言绝句。这是一首借物咏怀的诗。前两句写古剑的价值和作用,诗人以剑自喻,表达了自己怀才不遇的愤懑;后两句写古剑被闲置,在雷雨之夜发出虎啸龙吟之声,表现了诗人建功立业的渴望。全诗写得雄浑有力,文字一气呵成,有抑塞不平、一吐为快之情,于悲凉中见沉雄。

高鹗·《古剑》

一条秋水万黄金,千载谁明烈士心。

夜半虚堂雷雨入,壁间惊起老龙吟。

An Ancient Double-Edged Sword

Gao E

Most precious is the glittering double-edged sword;

For a long, long time its aspiration has remained obscure.

At midnight, when thunderstorm enters the empty hall,

Like an ancient dragon it will start and groan on the wall.

(王晋熙、文殊 译)
