雙語詩歌翻譯|楊萬里-《憫農(nóng)》

《憫農(nóng)》是宋代楊萬里創(chuàng)作的一首七言絕句。此詩前兩句敘述今年的災(zāi)情：由于久早無雨，稻田缺水，秧苗大半枯死；后兩句揭示農(nóng)民憂心如焚的內(nèi)心活動(dòng)：本來早已料到今冬要受饑挨餓，誰知偏偏又遇上閏年，日子更難過。此詩語言樸實(shí)自然，層層渲染，步步加深，將農(nóng)民的災(zāi)難描寫得十分具體、深刻，字里行間流露出詩人同情勞動(dòng)人民的一片赤誠之心。

楊萬里·《憫農(nóng)》

稻云不雨不多黃，蕎麥空花早著霜。

已分忍饑度殘歲，不堪歲里閏添長。

an early frost nipped the buckwheat

but there are thirteen lunar months this year

and they will suffer longer and how can they
