賞古詩學英語《少年不識愁滋味》

醜奴兒·書博山道中壁·少年不識愁滋味

Song of Ugly Slave

辛棄疾

Xin Qiji

少年不識愁滋味，

While young, I knew no grief I could not bear；

愛上層樓。

I&39;d like to go upstair

為賦新詞強說愁。

To write new verses with a false despair.

而今識盡愁滋味，

I know what grief is now that I am old;

欲說還休。

I would not have it told .

欲說還休，

I would not have it told ,

卻道天涼好個秋！

But only say I&39;s cold.
