玉盤珍羞直萬錢。
Choice dish in a jade plate is worth as much, nice food!
停杯投箸不能食，
Pushing aside my cup and chopsticks, I can't eat;
拔劍四顧心茫然。
Drawing my sword and looking round, I stamp my feet.
欲渡黃河冰塞川，
I can't cross Yellow River: ice has stopped its flow;
將登太行雪滿山。
I can't climb Mount Taihang: the sky is blind with snow.
閒來垂釣碧溪上，
I can but poise a fishing pole beside a stream
忽復乘舟夢日邊。
Or set sail for the sun like a sage in a dream.
行路難，
Hard is the way,
行路難，
Hard is the way.
多歧路，
Don't go astray!
今安在？
Whither today?
長風破浪會有時，
A time will come to ride the wind and cleave the waves,
直掛雲帆濟滄海。
I'll set my cloud-white sail and cross the sea which raves.
