双语诗歌翻译|曹操-《苦寒行》

《苦寒行》是东汉末年军事家、文学家曹操在征讨高干时作的一首乐府诗。诗中生动地描写了艰苦和冰天雪地中的自然景象，流露了厌战情绪，但主要反映了诗人不畏艰苦，积极向上，充满胜利信心的奋发精神。这首诗前四句白描写景，突出了登太行之艰险难行。

曹操 《苦寒行》

北上太行山，
艰哉何巍巍！
羊肠阪诘屈，
车轮为之摧。
树木何萧瑟，
北风声正悲。
熊罴对我蹲，
虎豹夹路啼。
溪谷少人民，
雪落何霏霏！
延颈长叹息，
远行多所怀。
我心何怫郁？
思欲一东归。
水深桥梁绝，
中路正徘徊。
迷惑失旧路，
薄暮无宿栖。
行行日已远，
人马同时饥。
担囊行取薪，
斧冰持作糜。
悲彼《东山》诗，
悠悠令我哀。

Song of Bitter Cold
Cao Cao

We climb the Taihang Mountain from the north;
The upward trek is harsh when we march forth.
The rough meandering footpaths twist and turn;
The wheel breakdowns bring us grave concern.

Before my eyes, the towering trees are moaning;
Above my head, the northern wind is groaning.
Bears large and small squat upon the trail;
Meanwhile tigers and leopards howl and wail.

Few people go into the deepest vales
When heavy snows enshroud the frozen dales.
At this sight, I heave an enormous sigh
Now that I know what zigzag treks imply.
Why am I in such a downcast mood?
About my journey home is what I brood.

When we face a river and no bridge is found,
We have to stop halfway and move around.
As we have moved around and lost our way,
Night will fall and we have nowhere to stay.

The farther in the mountains we go,
The more hungry men and horses grow.
The soldiers cut firewood from the trees
And cook the gruel with pieces of ice that freeze.
The Eastern Hill does not give me relief;
It is a poem that adds to my deep grief.
