《題烏江亭》是唐代詩(shī)人杜牧創(chuàng)作的一首七言絕句。這首詩(shī)議論戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)成敗之理,提出自己對(duì)歷史上已有結(jié)局的戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)的假設(shè)性推想。首句言勝敗乃兵家常事。次句批評(píng)項(xiàng)羽胸襟不夠?qū)拸V,缺乏大將氣度。三四句設(shè)想項(xiàng)羽假如回江東重整旗鼓,說(shuō)不定就可以卷土重來(lái)。這首詩(shī)對(duì)項(xiàng)羽負(fù)氣自刎的惋惜,但主要的意思卻是批評(píng)他不善于把握機(jī)遇,不善于聽(tīng)取別人的建議,不善于得人、用人。
《題烏江亭》 杜牧
勝敗兵家事不期,
包羞忍恥是男兒。
江東弟子多才俊,
卷土重來(lái)未可知。
Inscription at Wujiang Pavilion
Du Mu
Win or lose is hardly predictable for a man of war,
Ability to take insults and bear shame a real man shows.
Jiangdong has no lack of brave lads among its offspring,
Who knows if a comeback might not be in the offing.
