辛苦遭逢起一经

 

 

The tsunami 津波 evoked a heated discussion. After expressing my "greeting to all friends" at "We Are In Japan" forum, I shed tears when I saw a picture of a senior Japanese at the disaster  area hold a pair of shoes.

Although it is a different situation, reading Wen Tianxiang's poem still aroused my emotion, for 津波 awaken to danger and suffering.

My life boat is in and out of the 津, the harbor, which is not free from 波, just opposite, it may face 津波 one day, 一波未平，一波又起, if this is my position , my fate, I accepted it and will keep fighting.

 

過零丁洋

辛苦遭逢起一經，

幹戈寥落四周星。

山河破碎風飄絮，

身世浮沉雨打萍。

惶恐灘頭說惶恐，

零丁洋裏歎零丁。

人生自古誰無死，

留取丹心照汗青。

【今譯】

回想我早年由科舉入仕曆盡苦辛，

如今戰火消歇已熬過了四個周星。

國家危在旦夕恰如狂風中的柳絮，

個人又哪堪言說似驟雨裏的浮萍。

惶恐灘的慘敗讓我至今依然惶恐，

零下洋身陷元虜可歎我孤苦零丁。

人生自古以來有誰能夠長生不死，

我要留一片愛國的丹心映照汗青。
