On River Han

汉 江

[唐] 杜甫（许渊冲译）

On River Han my home thoughts fly,

Bookworm with worldly ways in fright.

The cloud and I share the vast sky;

I’m lonely as the moon all night.

My heart won’t sink with sinking sun;

West wind blows my illness away.

A jaded horse may not have done,

Though it cannot go a long way.

汉江思归客，

乾坤一腐儒。

片云天共远，

永夜月同孤。

落日心犹壮，

秋风病欲苏。

古来存老马，

不必取长途。

[词汇] bookworm

n. 呆子；蠹鱼，蛀书虫​
