Xue Angfu: Revelation of Sentiment To the Tune of Sheep on the Hillside ~薛昂夫·《山坡羊·述怀》 with English Translations

Listen to this article

这首《山坡羊·述怀》是对充满着矛盾的自我灵魂的深刻解剖。作品前半部是回顾自己大半生的遭际:“为功名走遍天涯路”写为求功名,不由自主地在宦海中劳碌奔波。时光易逝,两鬓渐现白发。作者对自己不能摆脱名缰利锁的羁绊深自悔恨。小令后半部则阐发了自己的切身体验:“心待足时名便足:高,高处苦;低,低处苦。”从而向世人发出警戒:名缰利索令人寝食难安。不要为功名所困。此作坦荡真诚,直抒胸臆,毫不矫揉造作,这正与作者其人豪放不羁、光明磊落的人格精神相合。

薛昂夫·《山坡羊·述怀》

大江东去,

长安西去,

为功名走遍天涯路。

厌舟车,

喜琴书,

早星星鬓影瓜田暮。

心待足时名便足。

高,高处苦;

低,低处苦。

Revelation of Sentiment

To the Tune of Sheep on the Hillside

Xue Angfu

Along the Yangtze River eastward,

To Chang’an I travel westward,

For fame and rank I hustle and bustle around the world.

I’m travel-worn,

But fond of art,

Leading a secluded farming life in my old age,

I’m content with my present life with page.

High in rank, the experience is bitter;

Low in position, you have to suffer.

(周方珠 译)
