Modern Translation of Ancient Poems
White hair has grown to 3, feet long, which is because of sorrow. I don't know me in the mirror, where did I get the autumn frost?
Appreciation of the famous sentence-"White hair is 3, feet, and sorrow is like a long one."
The poet wrote his deep sadness in an extremely exaggerated way. The first two sentences are naive, and the white hair is as long as "three thousand feet", which is impossible in life, but such an exaggerated description vividly shows the author's inner sorrow. The last two sentences come naturally, writing a kind of surprise and regret with the word "I don't know", and the feelings of the passing of time are deeply expressed. The word "autumn frost" is natural, but it is thought-provoking. If it weren't for a genius, you wouldn't have made such a poem at all!
