国风 邶风 ·柏舟

泛彼柏舟，亦泛其流。耿耿不寐，如有隐忧。微我无酒，以敖以游。
我心匪鉴，不可以茹。亦有兄弟，不可以据。薄言往愬，逢彼之怒。
我心匪石，不可转也。我心匪席，不可卷也。威仪棣棣，不可选也。
忧心悄悄，愠于群小。觏闵既多，受侮不少。静言思之，寤辟有摽。
日居月诸，胡迭而微？心之忧矣，如匪澣衣。静言思之，不能奋飞。

Depression

Like cypress boat Mid-stream afloat,
I cannot sleep in sorrow deep.
I won't drink wine, Nor roam nor pine
Unlike the brass Where images pass,
On brothers Cannot rely.
When I complain, I meet disdain.
Have I not grown Firm as a stone?
Am I as flat As level mat?
My mind is strong: I’ve done no wrong
I'm full of spleen, Hated by the mean
I'm in distress, Insulted no less;
Thinking at rest, I beat my breast
The sun and moon Turn dim so soon,
I'm in distress Like dirty dress.
Silent think l: Why can't I fly?
