端午節(jié)思屈原（二）
昔三后之純粹兮，固眾芳之所在。
雜申椒與菌桂兮，豈維紉夫蕙茝!
彼堯舜之耿介兮，既遵道而得路。
何桀紂之猖披兮，夫唯捷徑以窘步。
惟夫黨人之偷樂兮，路幽昧以險隘。
豈余身之憚殃兮，恐皇輿之敗績
!忽奔走以先后兮，及前王之踵武。
荃不察余之中情兮，反信讒以齌怒。
余固知謇謇之為患兮，忍而不能舍也。
指九天以為正兮，夫唯靈修之故也。
(曰黃昏以為期兮，羌中道而改路。)
初既與余成言兮，后悔遁而有他。
余既不難夫離別兮，傷靈修之數(shù)化。

Three ancient kings there were so pure and true
That round them every fragrant flower grew;
Cassia and pepper of the mountain-side
With melilotus white in clusters vied.Two monarchs then, who high renown received,
Followed the kingly way, their goal achieved.
Two princes proud by lust their reign abused,
Sought easier path, and their own steps confused.The faction for illict pleasure longed;
Dreadful their way where hidden perils thronged.
Danger against myself could not appal,
But feared I lest my sovereign's scepter fall.Forward and back I hastened in my quest,
Followed the former kings, and took no rest.
The prince my true integrity defamed,
Gave ear to slander, high his anger flamed;Integrity I knew could not avail,
Yet still endured; my lord I would not fail.
Celestial spheres my witness be on high,
I strove but for His Sacred Majesty.'Twas first to me he gave his plighted word,
But soon repenting other counsel heard.
For me departure could arouse no pain;
I grieved to see his royal purpose vain.
《離騷》是戰(zhàn)國時期著名詩人屈原的代表作之一，是中國古代漢族詩歌史上一首最長的政治抒情詩。詩人從自敘身世、品德、理想寫起，抒發(fā)了自己遭讒言被害的苦悶與矛盾心情，揭露了楚王昏庸、群小猖獗與朝政日非的政治現(xiàn)實，表現(xiàn)了詩人堅持“美政” 理想、不附和邪惡勢力的自愛精神及對楚王朝至死不渝的忠誠。
