旄丘

丘之葛兮，何誕之節兮。 叔兮伯兮，何多日也？ 何其處也？必有與也！ 何其久也？必有以也！ 狐裘蒙戎，匪車不東。 叔兮伯兮，靡所與同。 瑣兮尾兮，流離之子。 叔兮伯兮，褎如充耳。 Mao Mount’s vine-joints show their age, Uncles and nobles, how many days? Why delay here with no allies; Why delay here in lack of supplies? Fox furs worn thru, without transport, Uncles and nobles, sorry sport! We be the rump of Li with tattered tails, a lost horde amid fears, and your embroidered collars cover your ears. 旄山藤之节，显露年岁于此 停留的痕迹， 叔伯贵族们，还要多少日子？ 为何无援却久滞于此； 为何匮绝却久滞于此？ 狐裘已穿破，辎重犹冥晦， 叔伯贵族们，何其狼狈！ 我们是“离”氏残部，像拖着破布的尾巴 在恐惧中迷失的一群， 而你们的绣花衣领 遮住了耳朵。 译记：一首简单的诗。翻译它只因最后一节仿佛听见洛威尔的回响： We are like a lot of wild spiders crying together, but without tears.
