薛昂夫·《山坡羊·述怀》英译

大江东去，

长安西去，

为功名走遍天涯路。

厌舟车，

喜琴书，

早星星鬓影瓜田暮。

心待足时名便足。

高，高处苦；

低，低处苦。

Revelation of Sentiment

To the Tune of Sheep on the Hillside

Xue Angfu

Along the Yangtze River eastward,

To Chang’an I travel westward,

For fame and rank I hustle and bustle around the world.

I’m travel-worn,

But fond of art,

Leading a secluded farming life in my old age,

I’m content with my present life with page.

High in rank, the experience is bitter;

Low in position, you have to suffer.

（周方珠 译）
