Text/Tagore Zheng Zhenduo Translation
In the morning, when I was walking on the road of the stone shop, I called, "Come and hire me."
The emperor came in a carriage with a sword in his hand.
He took my hand and said, "I want to hire you with my power."
But his power is nothing. He left in a carriage.
in the heat of noon, every door is closed.
I walked along the winding path.
An old man came out with a bag of money.
He thought it over and said, "I want to hire you with money." He weighed his money one by one, but I turned and left.
at dusk, the garden fence is full of flowers.
The beauty came out and said, "I will hire you with a smile."
Her smile turned pale and melted into tears. She turned around and walked into the darkness alone.
the sun shines on the sand, and the sea waves are broken.
A child is sitting there, playing games with shells.
He looked up as if he knew me and said, "I don't need anything to hire you."
The sale in this child's game made me a free man from then on.
Characteristics of poetry:
1. In the article, neither power, money nor beauty can touch the author's heart, but the most vivid intangible thing that children who are left unattended on the beach have is what I want most.
2. The symbol of the supreme power of the emperor, together with the carriage and sword, perfectly shows the great power of the emperor in details. However, the words "nothing" immediately rejected the high-ranking official, Hou Lu, whom ordinary people miss so much. Moreover, the emperor's action of "holding my hand" seems very confident, and the emperor should not have been rejected. That clearly shows that the author does not yearn for power.
3. "It's hot at noon" and "closed" all write that it is very hard and not easy to make this deal. However, an old man appeared, and his "consideration" wrote the consistent mentality that old people and ordinary people cherish money. Just like a miser, "one by one" wrote this mentality incisively and vividly. However, before I finished counting the money, I turned around and left without hesitation. Obviously, the author doesn't yearn for money either.
4. Under the beautiful background of "dusk" and "the hedge of the garden is full of flowers", it seems that the beauty will become more charming. Once again, unexpectedly, the smile was "dim" and turned into a "tearful face", which wrote the disappointment of the beauty, and "loneliness" and "darkness" wrote the deep sadness of the beauty. Oh, it must be the author's firm refusal, so what can the author yearn for if he doesn't yearn for beauty?
5. "On the sand" Haibo's "willfulness" wrote that Haibo can do whatever he wants. Children "play" in the sand, and no one is in charge. However, after that, the business was actually done!
6. Looking back, "free man", "willfulness" and "child" represent freedom. Because when a person's body and mind are imprisoned, what he craves most is only freedom. Here, the author pursues spiritual freedom and lives freely!
