寒窑赋 (寒窑赋): 天有不测风云，人有旦夕祸福。 蜈蚣百足，行不及蛇；雄鸡两翼，飞不过鸦。 马有千里之程，无骑不能自往； 人有冲天之志，非运不能自通。 盖闻：人生在世，富贵不能淫，贫贱不能移。 文章盖世，孔子困厄于陈邦； 武略超群，太公垂钓于渭水。 夷齐饿死首阳，盗跖长寿； 颜渊命短，宋玉才高难遇主。 韩信功成身死，彭越立业遭诛。 冯唐有安邦之志，到老半官无封； 李广有射虎之能，终身不侯。 昔吾寓居洛阳，朝游寺院乞僧餐，暮宿寒窑度残夜。 思衣不能遮其体，思食不能济其饥。 上人憎，下人厌，皆言吾贱。 非吾贱也，乃时也，运也，命也！ 及至金榜题名，独占鳌头；官居一品，位列三公。 有挞百僚之杖，有斩鄙吝之剑。 出则壮士执戈，入则佳人捧觞。 绫罗锦绣，山珍海味。 黄金白银，堆积如山。 此时人人称吾贵，非吾贵也，乃时也，运也，命也！ 呜呼！ 富贵贫贱，自有时也； 荣辱升沉，命里安排定。 劝君不必多劳碌，天理昭昭报应明。 花开花谢自有时，潮起潮落有定时。 十年河东，十年河西，莫笑穷人暂受贫！ 谁知沧海桑田变，须信古今同一理。 眼前多少风流客，几个能逢得意时？Here is the English translation of the provided text from 《寒窑赋》 (The Rhapsody of the Cold Kiln / The Broken Kiln Rhapsody): Heaven has unpredictable winds and clouds, man has sudden calamities and blessings at any moment. The centipede with a hundred feet cannot move as fast as the snake; the rooster with two wings cannot fly higher than the crow. A horse may have the stamina to travel a thousand miles, yet without a rider it cannot go anywhere by itself; A man may have ambitions that reach the heavens, yet without good fortune he cannot fulfill them on his own. It is said: In this life, wealth and honor cannot corrupt, poverty and lowliness cannot sway. With writings that surpass the age, Confucius was nevertheless trapped and distressed in the state of Chen; With military prowess that outshone all, Taigong still fished quietly by the Wei River. Boyi and Shuqi starved to death on Mount Shouyang, while Dao Zhi lived a long life; Yan Yuan had a short life, Song Yu possessed great talent yet never found a worthy master. Han Xin achieved great merit only to meet death, Peng Yue built his career only to be executed. Feng Tang had the ambition to pacify the state, yet grew old without even a proper official title; Li Guang had the skill to shoot tigers, yet remained a commoner his whole life without becoming a marquis. In the past, when I lived in Luoyang, by day I wandered to temples begging for monks’ meals, by night I slept in a broken cold kiln to pass the remaining hours. I longed for clothes but could no
