《夏日》是一首七言絕句,作者是宋朝的張耒。本篇是詩人罷官閑居鄉(xiāng)里之作。詩人罷官還鄉(xiāng)之后,以此為題作詩三首,這是其中之一。作品通過夏日燕雀、蝴蝶、蜘蛛等意象的描寫表現(xiàn)了詩人對清靜、安寧的生活的喜愛,抒發(fā)了詩人淡泊名利,厭倦世俗,不愿與世相爭的高潔情懷和對村野田園生活的向往。
《夏日》 張耒
長夏村墟風(fēng)日清,檐牙燕雀已生成。
蝶衣曬粉花枝舞,蛛網(wǎng)添絲屋角睛。
落落疏簾邀月影,嘈嘈虛枕納溪聲。
久判兩鬢如霜雪,直欲樵漁過此生。
Summer Days
Zhang Lei
It is breezy and sunny in this riverside hamlet in summer,
And swallows and sparrows have their nestles under the eaves.
Butterflies are flitting among flowers and trees,
And spiders weave cobwebs silently in the corners of the house.
The moonlight comes in through the sparse curtain at night,
One hears the sound of the brook outside on his bamboo pillow.
The hair on my temples has turned grey, snowy and frosty,
I desire only to live my life as a woodcutter or a fisherman.
