拟挽歌辞
 （三首其一）

陶潜

有生必有死，早终非命促[1]。

昨暮同为人[2]，今旦在鬼录[3]。

魂气[4]散何之[5]，枯形[6]寄空木[7]。

娇儿索[8]父啼，良友抚我哭。

得失不复知，是非安能觉[9]！

千秋万岁后，谁知荣与辱？

但恨[10]在世时，饮酒不得足。

注释：

[1] 非命促：并非生命短促。

[2] 同为人：指还活在世上。

[3] 在鬼录：列入鬼的名册，指死去。

[4] 魂气：指人的精神意识。

[5] 散何之：散归何处。

[6] 枯形：枯槁的尸体。

[7] 寄空木：安放于棺木之中。

[8] 索：寻找，索要。

[9] 觉：觉醒，醒悟。

[10] 但恨：只有遗憾。

An Elegy for Myself (I)

Tao Qian

Where there is life, there must be death;

In due time we’ll breathe our last breath.

Last night we lived and filled our posts;

Today my name’s among the ghosts.

Where is my soul fled far away?

But shriveled forms in coffin stay.

My children miss their father, crying;

My friends caress my body, sighing.

For gain or loss I no more care;

Right or wrong is not my afair.

Thousands of years will pass away,

And shame and glory of today.

But I regret, while living still,

I have not drunk wine to my fill.
