《和子由澠池懷舊》是宋代文學家蘇軾的作品。此詩表達對人生來去無定的悵惘和往事舊跡的深情眷念。前四句以雪泥鴻爪比喻人生,把人生看作漫長的征途;后四句照應“懷舊”詩題,以敘事之筆,深化雪泥鴻爪的感觸。全詩動蕩明快,意境恣逸,是蘇軾七律中的名篇。
《和子由澠池懷舊》 蘇軾
人生到處知何似?應似飛鴻踏雪泥:
泥上偶然留指爪,鴻飛哪復計東西!
老僧已死成新塔,壞壁無由見舊題。
往日崎嶇還記否:路長人困蹇驢嘶。
Recalling the Old Days at Mianchi
Su Shi
To what can we liken human life?
Perhaps to a wild swan’s footprints on mud or snow:
By chance its claws imprint the mud
Before it flies off at random, east or west.
The old monk is dead and a new pagoda built;
The old wall has crumbled, the poem we wrote on it gone.
Do you still remember this rugged mountain path,
The long way, or exhaustion and how the lame donkey brayed?
