Listen to this article拟行路难
（十八首其四）
泻[1]水置平地，
各自东西南北流。
人生亦有命，
安能行叹复坐愁？
酌酒以自宽，
举杯断绝[2]歌路难。
心非木石岂无感？
吞声踯躅[3]不敢言。
注释：
[1] 泻：倾，倒。
[2] 断绝：停止。
[3] 踯躅：徘徊不进。
In Imitation of the Weary Way (IV)
Bao Zhao
When water’s spilled o’er level ground,
It will run eastward, westward, southbound and northbound.
A man’s life’s also ruled by fate.
Why must we sigh outdoors or in, early or late?
Drink wine to drown grief if you may,
And raise your cup and stop to sing the Weary Way!
How can our heart be like unfeeling wood or stone?
I hush my voice and hesitate lest it be known.
