zhou did not think to bow to noblemen was meet。
general han was mocked in the market…place；
the brilliant scholar jia was banished in disgrace。
have you not heard of king of yan in days gone by；
who venerated talents and built terrace high
on which he offered gold to gifted men
and stooped low and swept the floor to wele them？
grateful； ju xin and yue yi came then
and served him heart and soul； both full of stratagem。
the kings bones were now buried；
who would sweep the floor of the gold terrace any more？
hard is the way。
go back without delay！

行路难之三
有耳莫洗颍川水， 有口莫食首阳蕨。
含光混世贵无名， 何用孤高比云月？
吾观自古贤达人， 功成不退皆殒身。
子胥既弃吴江上， 屈原终投湘水滨。
陆机雄才岂自保？ 李斯税驾苦不早。
华亭鹤唳讵可闻？ 上蔡苍鹰何足道。
君不见， 吴中张翰称达生，
秋风忽忆江东行。
且乐生前一杯酒， 何须身后千载名？

hard is the way of the world iii
dont wash your ears on hearing something you dislike
nor die of hunger like famous hermits on the pike！
living without a fame among the motley crowd；
why should one be as lofty as the moon or cloud？
of ancient talents who failed to retire； theres none
but came to tragic ending after glorys won。
the head of general wu was hung oer city gate；
in the river was drowned the poet laureate。
the highly talented scholar wished in vain
to preserve his life to hear the cry of the crane。
minister li regretted not to have retired
to hunt with falcon gray as he had long desired。
have you not heard of zhang han who resigned； carefree；
to go home to eat his perch with high glee？
enjoy a cup of wine while youre alive！
do not care if your fame will not survive！

将进酒
君不见， 黄河之水天上来，
奔流到海不复回？
君不见， 高堂明镜悲白发，
朝如青丝暮成雪？ 人生得意须尽欢，
莫使金樽空对月， 天生我材必有用，
千金散尽还复来。
烹羊宰牛且为乐， 会须一饮三百杯。
岑夫子！ 丹丘生！
将进酒； 君莫停。
与君歌一曲， 请君为我侧耳听。
钟鼓馔玉不足贵， 但愿长醉不愿醒。
古来圣贤皆寂寞， 惟有饮者留其名。
陈王昔时宴平乐， 斗酒十千恣欢谑。
主人何为言少钱？ 径须沽取对君酌。
五花马， 千金裘。
呼儿将出换美酒， 与尔同消万古愁。

bringing in the wine
see how the yellow rivers waters move out of heaven。
entering the ocean； never to return。
see how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers；
though silken…black at morning； have changed by night to snow。
。。。oh； let a man of spirit venture where he pleases
and never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon！
since heaven gave the talent； let it be employed！
spin a thousand pieces of silver； all of them e back！
cook a sheep； kill a cow； whet the appetite；
and make me； of three hundred bowls； one long drink！
。。。to the old master； cen；
and the young scholar； danqiu；
bring in the wine！
let your cups never rest！
let me sing you a song！
let your ears attend！
what are bell and drum； rare dishes and treasure？
let me be forever drunk and never e to reason！
sober men of olden days and sages are forgotten；
and only the great drinkers are famous for all time。
。。。prince chen paid at a banquet in the palace of perfection
ten thousand coins for a cask of wine； with many a laugh and quip。
why say； my host； that your money is gone？
go and buy wine and well drink it together！
my flower…dappled horse；
my furs worth a thousand；
hand them to the boy to exchange for good wine；
and well drown away the woes of ten thousand generations！

杜甫
兵车行
车辚辚， 马萧萧，
行人弓箭各在腰。
耶娘妻子走相送， 尘埃不见咸阳桥。
牵衣顿足拦道哭， 哭声直上干云霄。
道旁过者问行人， 行人但云点行频。
或从十五北防河， 便至四十西营田。
去时里正与裹头， 归来头白还戍边。
边亭流血成海水， 武皇开边意未已。
君不闻， 汉家山东二百州，
千村万落生荆杞？
纵有健妇把锄犁， 禾生陇亩无东西。
况复秦兵耐苦战， 被驱不异犬与鸡。
长者虽有问， 役夫敢申恨；
且如今年冬， 未休关西卒。
县官急索租， 租税从何出？
信知生男恶， 反是生女好；
生女犹得嫁比邻， 生男埋没随百草。
君不见， 青海头，
古来白骨无人收？
新鬼烦冤旧鬼哭， 天阴雨湿声啾啾。

a song of war…chariots
the war…chariots rattle；
the war…horses whinny。
each man of you has a bow and a quiver at his belt。
father； mother； son； wife； stare at you going；
till dust shall have buried the bridge beyond changan。
they run with you； crying； they tug at your sleeves；
and the sound of their sorrow goes up to the clouds；
and every time a bystander asks you a question；
you can only say to him that you have to go。
。。。we remember others at fifteen sent north to guard the river
and at forty sent west to cultivate the campfarms。
the mayor wound their turbans for them when they started out。
with their turbaned hair white now； they are still at the border；
at the border where the blood of men spills like the sea ……
and still the heart of emperor wu is beating for war。
。。。do you know that； east of chinas mountains； in two hundred districts
and in thousands of villages； nothing grows but weeds；
and though strong women have bent to the ploughing；
east and west the furrows all are broken down？
。。。men of china are able to face the stiffest battle；
but their officers drive them like chickens and dogs。
whatever is asked of them；
dare they plain？
for example； this winter
held west of the gate；
challenged for taxes；
how could they pay？
。。。we have learned that to have a son is bad luck…
it is very much better to have a daughter
who can marry and live in the house of a neighbour；
while under the sod we bury our boys。
。。。go to the blue sea； look along the shore
at all the old white bones forsaken ……
new ghosts are wailing there now with the old；
loudest in the dark sky of a stormy day。
