房兵曹[1]胡马
杜甫
胡马大宛名[2]，
锋棱[3]瘦骨成。
竹批双耳峻[4]，
风入四蹄轻。
所向无空阔，
真堪托死生[5]。
骁腾[6]有如此，
万里可横行。

General Fang’s Steed
Du Fu
The steed from the barbaric west
Has angular frame and strong chest.
Like pointed bamboo its sharp ear,
As swift wind its fleet hoofs, O hear!
The way it runs will never end;
Life or death on it may depend.
When you have such a fiery steed,
You can ride where you will indeed.
The poet writes this poem in praise of the fiery steed of General Feng.
