Original text:
The sunflowers in the green garden are waiting for the sun to set in the morning dew.
Budze in spring brings brilliance to all things.
I am often afraid that when the autumn festival comes, the yellow flowers and leaves will wither.
From the east to the sea, when will the rivers return to the west?
If a young man does not work hard, the old man will be miserable.
Translation:
The sunflowers in the garden are all lush and green, rising under the crystal dew in the sun. Spring spreads hope all over the earth, and everything appears prosperous.
I am often afraid that the chilling autumn will come, and the leaves will turn yellow and the grass will wither. Hundreds of rivers are rushing eastward to the sea. When can they return to the west again? If a young person does not work hard in time, he will only regret his life when he grows old. Extended information
From the overall concept of this poem, the main meaning is that the seasons change quickly and time is gone forever. Therefore, it advises people to cherish their youth and work hard to make a difference.
The whole poem uses scenery to express feelings, and is based on emotions. It embodies the life philosophy of "young people don't work hard, old people will be sad" in vivid images such as the morning dew is drying, the leaves are falling in autumn, and the rivers are flowing eastward. In the poem, with the help of the morning dew that fades, the flowers and leaves falling in autumn, and the flowing water that flows eastward but never returns, there is a sigh that time is fleeting and life is short. It encourages people to hold on to the life that flies by with time and work hard to make a difference in their youth.
The emotional tone is positive. The main idea is reflected in the last two sentences, but the poet's thoughts are not simply stated. Instead, he extracts specific images full of beauty from the real world and teaches them through aesthetics.
This poem starts with "Sunflower in the Garden", and then uses the metaphor of water flowing to the sea and never coming back to illustrate that time is like running water, once it goes away it will never come back. Finally, I advise people to cherish their youth, work hard, and not regret it when they grow old. This poem uses physical reasoning, first using sunflowers in the garden as a metaphor. "Qingqing" refers to its lush growth.
In fact, under the sunshine and rain throughout the spring, everything is striving to grow. Because they are all afraid that autumn will come soon, and they know the reason why the autumn wind withers all the grass. The rhythm of life in nature is like this, and so is life.
If a person does not take advantage of the good times and work hard and let his youth be wasted, it will be too late to regret when he is old. This poem reminds young people of the perishable life from the beauty of youth in front of them, and encourages young people to cherish time, give warnings, and encourage people to get up.
