壮游 MY BRAVE ADVENTURES
往昔十四五，出游翰墨场。斯文崔魏徒，以我似班扬。
At fourteen, I first began to read my poems in public. The literary masters compared me to the great writers of the past.
七龄思即壮，开口咏凤凰。九龄书大字，有作成一囊。
When I was still only in my seventh year, my mind was already full of heroic deeds. My first poem was about the phoenix, the harbinger of a sagacious reign, a new age of wisdom. When I was in my ninth year, I had already written enough poems to fill a satchel.
性豪业嗜酒，嫉恶怀刚肠。脱略小时辈，结交皆老苍。
I was temperamental and I was already overfond of wine. I needed it to soften an umcompromising hatred of wickedness and hypocrisy. I associated only with wise old grey heads.
饮酣视八极，俗物都茫茫。
Exhilarated by wine, we cast our glances over the entire universe, and all vulgar worldliness dwindled into oblivion.
放荡齐赵间，裘马颇清狂。春歌丛台上，冬猎青丘旁。
The next few years, I played and roamed. In the spring, I sang on the terrraces where the poets competed. Summer（此处大概是误意，不知道是不是想形成前后对应）, I hunted among the green hills.
呼鹰皂枥林，逐兽云雪冈。
In the winter, I whistled for the falcons in the purple oak forests, and chased wild beasts on cloud and snow ridge.
许与必词伯，赏游实贤王。
I was amazed, in a single day, my reputation had become brilliant.
曳裾置醴地，奏赋入明光。
I trailed my hems wherever sweet ale was served. I drank myself sick.
天子废食召，群公会轩裳。
The son of heaven summoned me to his presence, and the officials came in their carriages and their state robes.
朱门任倾夺，赤族迭罹殃。
It was a time when the powerful indulged in murder and plunder.
国马竭粟豆，官鸡输稻粱。举隅见烦费，引古惜兴亡。
The military used up the tax grain in the stores. The imperial fighting cocks had to be fed. Many warnings could have been obtained from history about why a dynasty falls.
观公孙大娘弟子舞剑器行 ON SEEING THE SWORD DANCE OF THE PUPIL OF MADAME GONGSUN
大历二年十月十九日，夔府别驾元持宅，见临颍李十二娘舞剑器，壮其蔚跂，问其所师，曰：“余公孙大娘弟子也。”
On November the 15th, 767, I saw the Lady Li from Linying perform the sword dance. Marvelling at her agility, I asked who her teacher was. "I'm a pupil of Gongsun," she said.
开元三载，余尚童稚，记于郾城观公孙氏，舞剑器浑脱，
And I remembered that day when I was still a child, I saw a famous dancer Gongsun perform the sword dance.
观者如山色沮丧，天地为之久低昂。
Watching her, you felt heaven struggling against the Earth,
霍如羿射九日落，矫如群帝骖龙翔。
When she bent back, you saw nine suns falling, shot down by Yi, the god of archers. When she leapt, you imagined gods astride flying dragons in the clouds.
来如雷霆收震怒，罢如江海凝清光。
When she advanced, you expected thunder and lightening from a gathering storm. And when she stopped, you saw the soft light over a vast, calm sea.
五十年间似反掌，风尘澒洞昏王室。
Since then, more than fifty years have passed so fast, like the turning of a palm. Stormy waves of war have enfolded our royal house in gloom.
梨园弟子散如烟，女乐馀姿映寒日。
The pupil of the Peach Garden, the Royal Dance School, have scatterd like disappearing mist.
玳筵急管曲复终
The brilliant feasts, the music and the songs have ended.
老夫不知其所往
And I am now an old man, who does not know where he is going.
忆 昔 THOSE DAYS
稻米流脂粟米白，公私仓廪俱丰实。九州道路无豺虎
Rice was succulent, the granaries were full, and not a robber on the road in all the nine provinces of China.
龙门 THE GREAT BUDDHAS OF LONGMEN
龙门横野断，驿树出城来。
In their giant gorge cutting through the countryside,
气色皇居近，金银佛寺开。
Where every vista reveals gold and silver Buddha temples
奉赠韦左丞丈二十二韵 VERSES TO MINISTER WEI

中堂舞神仙，烟雾散玉质。暖客貂鼠裘，悲管逐清瑟。劝客驼蹄羹，霜橙压香橘。
The halls are full of ladies as fair as goddnesses. The scent of perfume moves with each captivating figure, clothed in the warm furs of sable, entertained with the finest music. Fed with camel hump soup and oranges ripened in the frost.

If my life is so bitter, then how much worse is the life of the common people?
同诸公登慈恩寺塔
秦山忽破碎，泾渭不可求。
The mountains of the north began to dissolve. The Wei River diappeared.

And the wild geese flew away.
彭衙行 BALLAD OF PENGYA ROAD
忆昔避贼初，北走经险艰。
I remebered when we first fled the rebels, hurrying north over dangerous trails.
尽室久徒步，逢人多厚颜。
The whole family trudging endlessly, begging without shame from the people we met.一旬（一旬为十天）半雷雨，泥泞相牵攀。
We walked for ten days, holding hands, half in rain and thunder, through the mud, we pulled each other on.

春望 SPRING SCENE

The city is bustling, full of new people, the splendid houses, the trees. Though I missed my home, it's a beautiful place.
自古有羁旅，我何苦哀伤。
I keep finding myself grieving bitterly.
And to understand why, maybe an analogy from Western culture is helpful. Right in the middle of the First World War, Sigmund Freud wrote an essay on grieving, in which he says that, "One may grieve as intensely for an ideal or a civilisation as for a loved one.“ And I think that's what Du Fu is experiencing, a cultural sorrow.
“一个人可能会为他热爱的理想或文明，而感到深深的哀伤。”

I've given up on official service.
飘飘何所似，天地一沙鸥。
Blown by the winds, I'm like a sea gull circling between Heaven and Earth.

苔竹素所好，萍蓬无定居。
For so long now, I've had no fixed abode.
远游长儿子，几地别林庐。
My children have grown up on the road. In every place, I've left a house and a garden.
风疾舟中伏枕书怀三十六韵奉呈湖南亲友 WRITING MY FEELINGS
圣贤名古邈，羁旅病年侵。舟泊常依震，湖平早见参。
On my journey, I'm sick and time closes in on me. 水乡霾白屋，枫岸叠青岑。

Poetry was my family's business
本纪录片的撰稿人和主持人迈克尔·伍德（Michael Wood）关于中国文化和杜甫的介绍精选：
In our time, right across the planet, the past is receding from us at an even faster rate. And that's especially so here in China. But the traveller searching for the meaning of China's ancient culture, can still find it in China's present. For here, running under the surface, are deep currents still shared by all Chinese people. And among them is one great stream that has sustained the Chinese across the ages—their poetry.
在我们的时代，地球的另一端，旧时光正以前所未有的速度离我们远去。特别是在中国这里。但追寻中国古文化真意的游人，在今天的中国，仍能发现旧日的踪迹。在这平静的表面下，中国人民心中依然波涛汹涌。这其中的一股洪流，便是从古至今支撑着中国人的诗歌。
China has the oldest living tradition of poetry in the world, more than 3,000 years old, older than Homer's Iliad and Odyssey. And for the Chinese, poets have always been the ones who most truthfully express the feelings of the people. And to the Chinese, their greatest poet is Du Fu. Du Fu lived in the eighth century, the age of Beowulf in Britain. It was the Tang Dynasty, a time of extraodinary cultural accomplishment that ended in horrendous warfare and the death of millions. And out of that suffering, Du Fu created his art.
中国有世界上留存至今最古老的诗歌传统，其历史逾三千年，比荷马的伊利亚特和奥德赛还要古老。对于中国人来说，诗人总是能最真诚地表达人民的情感。在中国人眼里，最伟大的诗人就是杜甫。杜甫生活在公元八世纪，与英国史诗《贝奥武夫》同时期。那是在唐朝，一个有着非凡文化成就的时代，却在烽火连天和饿殍(piǎo)遍野中黯然落幕。从这些磨难中，杜甫创造了属于他的文学艺术。
In the East, he is one of the immortals. But in the West, few people have even heard of him. This is a journey in the footsteps of China's greatest poet.
在东方，他名垂千古。但在西方，却鲜有人知。这是一次踏寻中国最伟大诗人足迹的旅程。
Teachings of Confucius were Du Fu's guiding principles all his life—virtue, benevolence, service to the state. In a sense, you could say that like much of the Chinese political tradition from ancient times even to today, his thought was utopian.
孔子的学说，是杜甫一生的指导思想，即德行，仁义，忠诚。从某种程度上说，和中国自古至今的政治传统一样，他的思想很理想化。
Within a decade of his death, a selection was published to great acclaim. "Since the dawn of poetry," one critic wrote, "there is no one like him." And over the next two centuries, he would be acknowledged by common consent as China's greatest poet. But in a way, to call him that is to underplay his importance in Chinese culture, because it limits his standing simply to that of a poet. There is no comparable figure in Western culture, someone who, by chance as it turned out, came to embody not only the feelings, but the moral sensibility of a whole civilisation.
在他去世后不到十年，一本诗选得以出版，并获得了极高的赞誉。“在诗歌的历史中，”一位评论家写到，“他是独一无二的。”在后来的两百年间，他成为了公认的中国最伟大的诗人。但在某种意义上，这种说法削弱了他在中国文化中的重要地位，因为这使得他的名声仅限于一位诗人。西方的文化中，没有能像他这样凑巧表达一个完整文明的情感与道德的人物。
Today every child in China learns Du Fu's words in school. The meeting with the old musician, the spring scene in the ruined capital, the dancer Lady Gongsun, his wife standing alone in the moolit window. They're taught about his love for the common people, and also of course, his loyalty to the state.
如今中国每个孩子都在学校学习杜甫的诗：与老乐师的重逢，满目疮痍的京城春景，舞剑的公孙氏，月夜窗前独自伫立的他的妻子。他们学习杜甫对平民百姓的热爱，当然还有，他对国家的忠诚。
In his ambition to save the nation through a career in government, Du Fu was a complete failure. But through his poetry, he did more than any emperor to help shape the nation's values, expressing what it means to be Chinese in the greatest words in the Chinese language.
就为官救国这一理想来说，杜甫是彻底失败的。但他在诗中，比任何一代帝王塑造这个国家的价值观所做的努力要更多。他用中文里最伟大的辞藻，阐释了作为中国人的意义。
中国人民大学 曾祥波教授：PROF. ZENG XIANGBORENMIN UNIVERSITY那么杜甫的诗歌呢，是诗歌当中结合历史结合的最好的作品。同时这个记录还把他个人生活史和个人精神史也记录在了诗篇当中。And Du Fu is better than anyone at reflecting that history in his poetry. That's because historical events are mirrored in Du Fu's own life and spiritual journey.
我花了好大力气，才把这篇文章整理完成。
