行路难
李白
金樽清酒斗十千，玉盘珍羞直万钱。
停杯投箸不能食，拔剑四顾心茫然。
欲渡黄河冰塞川，将登太行雪满山。
闲来垂钓碧溪上，忽复乘舟梦日边。
行路难，行路难，多歧路，今安在？
长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海。
Hard Is the Way I am to Go
Li Bai
Ten-thousand-coin worth of good wine in golden pot
And as dear nice food on jade plates are to me brought.
Laying down my cup and chop-sticks， I can eat naught，
But drawing my sword， I look round， lost in deep thought.
The Yellow River I’m to cross is full of ice；
On Mount Taihang I’m to climb everywhere snow lies.
I have to kill time by fishing in the blue stream；
Suddenly of sailing again by the sun I dream.
Hard is the way I am to go，
Hard is the way I am to go！
So many branch-roads that mislead，
Where lies the correct road indeed！
I’m sure I can cut through waves against strong wind someday
And let my boat cross the sea safely on its way.
