行行重行行

无名氏

行行重行行，

与君生别离。

相去万余里，

各在天一涯。

道路阻且长，

会面安可知？

胡马依北风，

越鸟巢南枝。

相去日已远，

衣带日已缓。

浮云蔽白日，

游子不顾返。

思君令人老，

岁月忽已晚。

弃捐勿复道，

努力加餐饭。

本诗出自《古诗十九首》，用词质朴，层次清晰，重叠反复，分别运用直言、隐喻比兴，来抒发离别后女子相思情苦之意。

This poem, from Nineteen Poems, expresses a woman’s lovesickness after parting with the loved one through direct speaking and metaphor. It is told in plain language and with a clear structure with the technique of repetition.

You Travel on and on

Author Unknown

Tr. ZHAO Yanchun

You travel on and on;

I’m left here, you are yon.

Apart ten thousand li,

Divided by the sea.

It’s a long and hard way;

Can we rejoin some day?

Hun horses love north soughs;

Yue birds nest on south boughs.

You go farther away;

My belt loosens each day.

The clouds made the sun black;

You swore ne’er to come back.

Missing you makes me old;

Now comes the winter cold.

No care, no more of it;

Do eat well and keep fit.
