浣溪沙 春日即事 刘辰翁 远远游蜂不记家， 数行新柳自啼鸦。 寻思旧事即天涯。 睡起有情和画卷， 燕归无语傍人斜， 晚风吹落小瓶花。 Silk-washing Stream · A Spring Day Liu Chenweng Far away the bees roam without knowing their home; On a few new shoots of willow trees the crows cry. I think of the days gone by as far as the end of the sky. Awake from sleep, I roll up my dream with my scroll. The silent swallows come back in slanting sunrays; The evening wind blows down flowers in a vase. 注释： The bees, crows, swallows, flowers remind the poet of his homeland. 《浣溪沙·春日即事》是宋代词人刘辰翁的词作。此词以首尾四句写景，中间两句写人。所写的是思乡之情，又不全是乡思，把从午睡后到傍晚的一段百无聊赖的情思和盘托出。本篇主要写美好事物不能青春长驻，更增添乡思的无比惆怅之情。这首词从表面上看每句都是独立的，好似并不相关，但逻辑紧密，情理之中已构成一幅完整的春日乡思图，令人回味无穷。全词的基调淡雅，别有情致。 “Silk-washing Stream · A Spring Day” is a lyric by the Song Dynasty lyricist Liu Chen-weng. The first and last four lines are about scenery, and the middle two lines are about people. It is not all about homesickness, but about the boredom from the afternoon to the evening. The main theme of this piece is that bea...

鹊桥仙 吴潜 扁舟昨泊， 危亭孤啸[1]， 目断闲云千里。 前山急雨过溪来， 尽洗却、 人间暑气。 暮鸦木末， 落凫天际， 都是一团秋意。 痴儿騃女贺新凉， 也不道、 西风又起。 注释： [1]啸：撮口出声，声音响亮而悠长，类似于现在的口哨，古人在抑郁不得志的时候往往长啸以宣泄心中的郁闷。 [2]騃（ái）：愚呆；感情痴迷。 Immortals at the Magpie Bridge Wu Qian I moor my boat and then I croon Beneath the high pavilion alone. I stretch my eyes To see for miles and miles clouds rise. The hasty rain sweeps from the hills Across the rills. At dusk the crows perch on top of the trees; From the horizon come the wild geese. They bring the fresh autumnal air; My children are fond of the fresh cool here and there. They do not see the rise again of the west breeze. 注释： The poet describes his solitude in this poem. 《鹊桥仙·扁舟昨泊》是南宋词人吴潜的词作。词起笔三句叙事，过片写雨后情景，抒写了宦海浮沉的落寞心情。 “Immortals at the Magpie Bridge” is a lyric by Wu Qian of the Southern Song Dynasty. It begins with three lines of narrative and ends with the scene after the rain, expressing the despondent mood of the eunuchs.

南柯子 吴潜 池水凝新碧， 阑花驻老红。 有人独立画桥东， 手把一枝杨柳系春风。 鹊绊游丝坠， 蜂拈落蕊空。 秋千庭院小帘栊， 多少闲情闲绪雨声中。 Song of a Dream Wu Qian By pools of congealed green Red flowers form a screen. East of the painted bridge alone stands she, Trying to bind spring breeze with sprigs of willow tree. Magpies fly through gossamers light, The bees alight on falling flowers in vain. A swing hangs in the yard before the window bright. How much sorrow and leisure she feels in the rain! 注释： This poem expresses a young woman’s regret for the departing spring. 《南柯子·池水凝新碧》是宋朝词人吴潜创作的一首词。这首闺情词写闺中女子的惜春之情。词人通过春光中的各种景物描写，表达了一位妙龄女子的惜春之情。这是一个常见主题。在美人惜春的背后，谁又能说这不是表达对光阴、青春的眷恋呢？ “Song of a Dream” is a lyric composed by Wu Qian of the Song Dynasty. It is about the feelings of a woman in a boudoir who cherishes spring. Through the description of various scenes in spring, the lyricist expresses the feelings of a wonderful woman who cherishes spring. This is a common theme. Who can say that it is not an expression of longing for time an...

霜天晓角 高观国 春云粉色。 春水和云湿。 试问西湖杨柳， 东风外、 几丝碧。 望极。 连翠陌。 兰桡[1]双桨急。 欲访莫愁[2]何处， 旗亭[3]在、 画桥侧。 注释： [1]桡：船桨。 [2]莫愁：泛指歌女。 [3]旗亭：暗用唐代诗人王之涣“旗亭画壁”的故事。开元年间，王之涣与王昌龄、高适齐名。一日天寒微雪，三人来旗亭小饮，他们决定以歌伎唱谁的诗多，来比谁的诗名最大。结果最出名的歌伎唱得最多的是王之涣的诗。“旗亭画壁”因此即成典故。 Morning Horn and Frosty Sky Gao Guanguo Spring’s rosy clouds are high, Yet wet with vernal rain. Ask the lakeside willows trees How many branches greened by vernal breeze? I stretch my eyes Over the vast green plain And row the two oars across the lake wide. Where is the songstress fair? The poet’s pavilion is still there, By the bridge side. 注释： This poem describes the beauty of the West Lake. The poet refers to Wang Zhihuan, author of the verse: You can enjoy a grander sight, by climbing to a greater height. 《霜天晓角·春云粉色》是南宋词人高观国的作品。词十分生动贴切地描绘了西湖的秀美景色，并藉以抒发了心中的畅快感情，措词精当，给人以清新之感，全词写的委婉奇妙，人与周围的景物达到了完美的统一，格调十分高雅。 “Morning Horn and Frosty Sky” is the work of Gao Guanguo, a lyricist of the Southern Song Dynasty.

鹧鸪天 东阳[1]道中 辛弃疾 扑面征尘[2]去路遥， 香篝[3]渐觉水沉[4]销。 山无重数周遭碧， 花不知名分外娇。 人历历， 马萧萧， 旌旗又过小红桥。 愁边剩有相思句， 摇断吟鞭碧玉梢。 注释： [1]东阳：隶属今浙江金华市。考察作者早年宦游踪迹，无确切记载来过此地，本事不可考。也可能是代人之作。 [2]征尘：征途上扬起的尘土。 [3]香篝：一种燃香料的笼子。 [4]水沉：沉香，也叫水沉香，是一种名贵的香料。 Partridge in the Sky · On the Way to Dongyang Xin Qiji Facing the dust, I have to go a long, long way; I feel the incense in the censer burned away. Countless green hills around me undulate; Nameless flowers all the more fascinate. Men go their way and horses neigh. Flags pass the small red bridge again. Searching nostalgic lines with might and main. I flip my singing whip till it breaks off its tips. 注释： The poet describes the scenery on the way and his joyful mood. 《鹧鸪天·代人赋》是南宋词人辛弃疾所作的一首词。这是一首清新隽永的羁旅怀人之作。开篇以征尘与沉香对举，暗暗引出相思之意。无数青山皆有娇花处处，正是旅途时时尽是相思的写照。结句遥应篇，点出怀人主旨，刻画出一个情浓意切的相思者形象。全词婉约其外豪放其中，笔致流利而不纤弱，情绪缠绵而不哀怨，虽在辛词中属别调，与一般婉约词仍异具旨趣。 “Partridge in the Sky · On the Way to Dongyang” is a song written by Xin Qiji, a lyricist of the Southern Song Dynasty. It is a refreshing a...

沁园春 忆黄山 汪莘 三十六峰， 三十六溪， 长锁清秋。 对孤峰绝顶， 云烟竞秀； 悬崖峭壁， 瀑布争流。 洞里桃花[1]， 仙家芝草[2]， 雪后春正取次游。 亲曾见， 是龙潭白昼， 海涌潮头。 当年黄帝浮丘， 有玉枕玉床还在不。 向天都月夜， 遥闻凤管[3]； 翠微霜晓， 仰盼龙楼。 砂穴长红， 丹炉已冷， 安得灵方闻早修。 谁知此， 问源头白鹿， 水畔青牛。 注释： [1]洞里桃花：相传古代仙人浮丘公曾在炼丹峰的炼丹洞里炼过仙丹，那里有两棵桃树，毛白而色异，为仙家之物。 [2]仙家芝草：吃了可以成仙的灵芝草。相传轩辕峰下的采芝源，曾是轩辕黄帝采芝的地方。 [3]凤管：凤箫。相传春秋时有萧史善于吹箫，秦穆公以女弄玉妻之。萧史教弄玉吹箫作凤鸣，引凤来归，穆公为他们筑了凤台。后萧史、弄玉一起乘凤而去。凤箫之名由此得来。 Spring in a Pleasure Garden Yellow Mountains Recalled Wang Shen Thirty-six peaks And thirty-six streams Have long locked clear autumn in dreams. In face of lonely peaks and lofty crest, Clouds and mist vie to look their best. Over cliffs steep and high Cascades in roaring vie. In the cave grow peach flowers, And life-long herbs in divine bowers. After spring snow one by one they will come in sight. I have seen with my eyes The Dragon’s Pool in broad daylight, The sea in angry billows rise. Of the Yellow Emperor’s reign, Do the jade bed and pillow still remain? From the Celestial Town in moonlight, I’ve heard ...

水调歌头 金山[1]观月 张孝祥 江山自雄丽， 风露与高寒。 寄声月姊， 借我玉鉴[2]此中看。 幽壑鱼龙悲啸， 倒影星辰摇动， 海气夜漫漫。 涌起白银阙[3]， 危驻紫金山。 表独立[4]， 飞霞珮， 切云冠[5]。 漱冰濯雪[6]， 眇视万里一毫端[7]。 回首三山[8]何处， 闻道群仙笑我， 要我欲俱还。 挥手从此去， 翳凤[9]更骖鸾[10]。 注释： [1]金山：在今江苏镇江。宋时原本矗立于长江之中，后经泥沙冲合，遂与南岸毗连。山上有著名古刹金山寺。 [2]玉鉴：玉镜。鉴，镜子。《新唐书·魏征传》中曾有“以铜为鉴，可正衣冠”句。 [3]白银阙：月中宫阙。这里代指月亮。 [4]表独立：屹然独立的样子。表，特出。 [5]切云冠：古代一种高冠的名称。《九章·涉江》：“冠切云之崔嵬。” [6]漱冰濯雪：漱和濯都是洗涤、冲刷的意思。 [7]毫端：形容细微之至。 [8]三山：我国古代传说海上有三座神山，即方丈、蓬莱、瀛洲。前人将三山融入诗词境界中的并不少见，如李清照《渔家傲》：“风休住，蓬舟吹取三山去。” [9]翳凤：用凤羽做帝王或者贵族车上所用的华盖。 [10]骖鸾：用鸾鸟驾车。 Prelude to Water Melody · The Moon Viewed on Golden Hill Zhang Xiaoxiang The lofty mountain stands in view, When wind is high and cold is dew. I’d ask the Goddess of the Moon To lend me her jade mirror soon To see in deep water fish and dragon sigh And stars shiver as if fallen from on high. The boundless sea mingles her breath with boundless night. On the waves surges the palace silver-white; The Golden Hill Temple frowns on the height. Alone it towers high, Girt with a rainbow bright, Its ...

昭君怨 咏荷上雨 杨万里 午梦扁舟花底， 香满西湖烟水。 急雨打篷[1]声， 梦初惊。 却是池荷跳雨， 散了真珠还聚。 聚作水银窝， 泛清波[2]。 注释： [1]篷：指船篷。 [2]泛清波：又作“泻清波”。 Lament of a Fair Lady · Raindrops on Lotus Leaves Yang Wanli I nap at noon in a leaflike boat beneath lotus flowers; Their fragrance spreads over mist-veiled West Lake. I hear my boat’s roof beaten by sudden showers, And startled, I awake. I find on lotus leaves leap drops of rain; Like pearls they scatter and get together again. They melt then into liquid silver Flowing down the rippling river. 注释： The poet gives a very vivid picture of the lotus in rain. 《昭君怨·咏荷上雨》是宋代诗人杨万里的词作。这首小令用轻松活泼的笔调写自己梦中泛舟西湖和被雨惊醒后的情景。上片写梦中泛舟西湖花底，骤雨打篷，从梦中惊醒。下片写醒来所见景物，与先前的梦境相映成趣。本词构思巧妙，意境新颖，梦境与现实对照写来，曲折而有层次，极富变化，细细品味，似乎看到晶莹璀灿的珍珠在碧绿的“盘”中滚动；似乎嗅到荷花的阵阵幽香，有很强的艺术魅力。 “Lament of a Fair Lady · Raindrops on Lotus Leaves” is a poem written by Yang Wanli in the Song Dynasty. This small poem is written in a lively and light-hearted tone, describing the scene when he woke up from a dream of rafting on the ...

苏幕遮 周邦彦 燎沉香， 消溽暑。 鸟雀呼晴， 侵晓窥檐语。 叶上初阳干宿雨， 水面清圆， 一一风荷举。 故乡遥， 何日去。 家住吴门， 久作长安旅。 五月渔郎相忆否， 小楫轻舟， 梦入芙蓉浦。 Waterbag Dance Zhou Bangyan I burn an incense sweet To temper steamy heat. Birds chirp at dawn beneath the eaves, Announcing a fine day. The rising sun Has dried last night’s raindrops on the lotus leaves, Which, clear and round, dot water surface. One by one The lotus blooms stand up with ease And swing in morning breeze. My homeland’s far away; When to return and stay? My kinsfolk live in south by city wall. Why should I linger long in the capital? Will not my fishing friends remember me in May? In a short-oared light boat, it seems, I’m back ‘mid lotus blooms in dreams. 注释： This poem describes the lotus after rain and the poet’s thoughts of home. 《苏幕遮·燎沈香》是宋代词人周邦彦的词作。此词主要抒写词人的思乡之情。抒情主人公由眼前的荷花想到故乡的荷花，而向荷花娓娓道出游子浓浓的思乡情，构思尤为巧妙别致。上片主要描绘荷花姿态，下片由荷花梦回故乡。全词写景写人写情写梦皆语出天然，不加雕饰而风情万种，通过对清圆的荷叶、五月的江南、渔郎的轻舟这些情景进行虚实变幻的描写，把思乡之苦表达得淋漓尽致。 “Waterbag Dance” is a lyric ...

凤栖梧·兰溪 曹冠 桂棹悠悠分浪稳。 烟幂层峦， 绿水连天远。 赢得锦囊诗句满， 兴来豪饮挥金碗。 飞絮撩人花照眼。 天阔风微， 燕外晴丝卷。 翠竹谁家门可款， 舣舟闲上斜阳岸。 Phoenix Perching on Plane Tree · The Orchid Stream Cao Guan The laurel boat cleaving the waves slowly goes by, Mist veils peaks low and high, Green water joins the far-off sky. My pocket with verse and rhyme is filled up, In high spirits I drink in my golden cup. The willow down and flowers in flight tease my eye, A soft breeze blows in the vast sky, Through willow branches swallows fly. Whose green bamboo invites me to the door? I moor my boat at sunset and go to the shore. 注释： The poet describes his leisurely life on boating. 《凤栖梧·兰溪》是宋代词人曹冠所作的词。本词描写泛舟兰溪的闲情逸致，表现了作者对故乡山川风物的热爱。本词有和婉优美的意境，朴素平易的语言，轻捷明快的节奏，读之颇觉轻松，回味又觉恬淡温馨。 “Phoenix Perching on Plane Tree · The Orchid Stream” is a song written by Cao Guan, a lyricist of the Song Dynasty.

好事近 梦中作 秦观 春路雨添花， 花动一山春色。 行到小溪深处， 有黄鹂千百。 飞云当面化龙蛇， 夭矫[1]转空碧[2]。 醉卧古藤阴下， 了不知南北。 注释： [1]夭矫：屈伸自如的样子。 [2]空碧：碧空。 Song of Good Event · In Dream Qin Guan The spring rain hastens roadside flowers to grow; They undulate and fill mountains with spring.

点绛唇 秦观 醉漾轻舟， 信流[1]引到花深处。 尘缘[2]相误。 无计花间[3]住。 烟水茫茫， 千里斜阳暮。 山无数。 乱红如雨[4]。 不记来时路。 注释： [1]信流：随水而流不加控制。 [2]尘缘：世俗的念头。唐韦应物《春月观省属城始憩东西林精舍》诗：“佳士亦栖息，善身绝尘缘。” [3]花间：这里指天台山桃源。 [4]乱红如雨：唐李贺《将进酒》：“况是青春日将暮，桃花乱落如红雨。” Rouged Lips Qin Guan Drunk, at random I float Along the stream my little boat.

醉蓬莱 黄庭坚 对朝云叆叇[1]， 暮雨霏微， 乱峰相倚。 巫峡高唐， 锁楚宫朱翠[2]。 画戟[3]移春， 靓妆[4]迎马， 向一川都会。 万里投荒[5]， 一身吊影[6]， 成何欢意！ 尽道黔南， 去天尺五[7]， 望极神州[8]， 万重烟水。 樽酒公堂， 有中朝佳士[9]。 荔颊[10]红深， 麝脐[11]香满， 醉舞裀[12]歌袂[13]。 杜宇[14]声声， 催人到晓， 不如归是。 注释： [1]叆叇：形容浓云蔽日。 [2]“巫峡”二句：巫峡，长江三峡之一，西起重庆市巫山县，东迄湖北省巴东县。高唐，战国时楚国台观名。楚宫，楚时离宫。明曹学佺《蜀中名胜记》：“楚宫在女观山西畔小山顶，三面皆荒山，南望江山奇丽。”朱翠，指女子的朱颜翠发，代指美人。 [3]画戟：戟是一种古兵器，因加彩饰，又称画戟，常作为仪仗之用。 [4]靓妆：美丽的妆饰。 [5]万里投荒：比喻流落到荒远的贬所。唐柳宗元《别舍弟宗一》诗：“一身去国六千里，万死投荒十二年。” [6]一身吊影：比喻非常孤独。晋李密《陈情表》：“茕茕孑立，形影相吊。” [7]去天尺五：语本《辛氏三秦记》汉民谚：“城山韦杜，去天尺五。”黔州城处摩围山，俗语为摩天高山之意，因以为喻。 [8]神州：此处指中原，兼喻京城。 [9]佳士：美士，才德兼优的士人。 [10]荔颊：一本作“荔脸”。借喻歌女的面容。 [11]麝脐：指麝香。因产于脐下，故称。 [12]舞裀：跳舞用的地毯。 [13]歌袂：歌女的衣袖。 [14]杜宇：杜鹃鸟，又名姊归。传说古代蜀帝杜宇死后化为杜鹃鸟，因为它的叫声异常凄凉，声音好似“不如归去”，所以能触动游客归乡的念头。王实甫《西厢记》：“不信呵去那绿杨影里听杜宇，一声声道不如归去。” Drunk in the Fairyland Huang Tingjian In the face of heavy morning cloud again And drizzling evening rain, Leaning on each other, rugged the hills remain.

水调歌头 游览 黄庭坚 瑶草[1]一何碧， 春入武陵溪[2]。 溪上桃花无数， 枝上有黄鹂。 我欲穿花寻路， 直入白云深处， 浩气展虹霓。 只恐花深里， 红露湿人衣。 坐玉石， 倚玉枕， 拂金徽[3]。 谪仙[4]何处， 无人伴我白螺杯[5]。 我为灵芝仙草， 不为朱唇丹脸[6]， 长啸[7]亦何为。 醉舞下山去， 明月逐人归。 注释： [1]瑶草：仙草。杜甫《赠李白》诗：“方期拾瑶草。” [2]武陵溪：陶渊明《桃花源记》：“晋太元中，武陵人捕鱼为业，缘溪行，忘路之远近，忽逢桃花林。”武陵，今湖南常德市一带。 [3]金徽：琴徽，用来定琴声高低音节。梁元帝诗：“金徽调玉轸，兹夜抚离鸿。” [4]谪仙：唐人李白善饮酒赋诗，贺知章称李白为谪仙人。 [5]白螺杯：陶谷《清异录》：“以螺为杯，岩穴极湾曲，则可以藏酒，有一螺能贮三盏许者，号为九曲螺杯。” [6]朱唇丹脸：本形容美女，这里指媚世的小人。 [7]长啸：撮口作声为啸。阮籍曾经在苏门山遇孙登，与商略终古及栖神导气之术，登皆不应，借长啸而退。 Prelude to Water Melody Sightseeing Huang Tingjian How could grass be so green? O Spring Enters the fairy stream, Where countless peach blooms beam, And on the branch of the tree golden orioles sing. I try to find a way through the flowers so gay, Straight into clouds so white To breathe a rainbow bright, But I’m afraid in the depth of the flowers in my view, My sleeves would be wet with rosy dew. I sit on a stone and Lean on a pillow of jade, A tune on golden lute is played. Where is the poet of the fairyland? Who would drink up with m...

卜算子 春情 秦湛 春透水波明， 寒峭花枝瘦。 极目烟中百尺楼， 人在楼中否？ 四和[1]袅金凫[2]， 双陆[3]思纤手。 拟倩东风浣此情， 情更浓于酒。 注释： [1]四和：一种香名，叫四和香。 [2]金凫：指鸭子形的铜香炉。 [3]双陆：古代一种博戏的名称，相传是三国时曹植所制。最初只有两只骰子，到了唐末，加到六只，叫作叶子戏。在中国已经失传。流传到日本后，称飞双陆，现尚存。 Song of Divination Qin Zhan Spring mirrored in the water clear, Flowers are thin in cold severe. I stretch my eye to the sky’s end for the high tower. Is she still in her bower? From golden censer wafts incense nice. Are her fair hands playing with dice? I’d ask the east breeze to bring her a lover’s line, For love intoxicates more than wine. 注释： Son of Qin Guan, the poet writes this poem for his love, wellknown for the last line. 《卜算子·春透水波明》是南宋词人秦湛所作，词题《春情》。这首词是秦湛仅存词之一，全篇写春日对所恋之人的拳拳思慕之情。词人抓住景物特点进行勾勒，描绘了一幅春波荡漾、清澈潋滟，春寒料峭、花枝俏丽的早春图。用几个字点缀，使词的意境更加优美。开章紧扣词题，并以景托情，表现了对春天降临的欣喜，还为所思之女子作了铺垫。 The title of the song is “Song of Divination”. It is one of Qin Zhan’s only surviving lyrics, and it is about his fond feelings for the person he loves in spring. The lyricist capt...

浣溪沙 苏轼 风压轻云贴水飞， 乍晴池馆[1]燕争泥。 沈郎[2]多病不胜衣。 沙上不闻鸿雁信， 竹间时听鹧鸪[3]啼。 此情唯有落花知！ 注释： [1]池馆：周围有水池的屋子。 [2]沈郎：指沈约，字休文，吴兴武康（今浙江德清）人，齐梁文坛领袖。和谢朓等人开创了“永明体”，讲求声韵格律，促成了诗歌由古体向近体的发展。这里借指词人自己。 [3]鹧鸪：一种鸟，啼声好似“行不得也哥哥”。 Silk-washing Stream Su Shi Pressed by the breeze, over water the light clouds fly; In pecking clods by poolside tower swallows vie. I feel too weak to wear my gown, ill for so long. I have not heard the message-bearing wild goose’s song; Partridges among bamboos seem to call me home; Only fallen blooms know the heart of those who roam. 注释： This poet describes a frangvil scene and his homesickness. 《浣溪沙·风压轻云贴水飞》是北宋文学家苏轼创作的一首词。首二句是眼前春景。“压”、“贴’、“飞”三动词连贯而下，状物如在目前。燕之趁晴而“争泥”，刻画传神入妙。“沈郎”句言自己病后消夜。弱不胜衣，感情跌进一层。过片以“不闻”、“时听”对举，透出情感之困顿，而惟有花知此情，则无人领略之悲凉又曲曲传出。这首词意境优美，情感真切，语言流畅。 “Silk-washing Stream” is a lyric composed by Su Shi, a writer of the Northern Song Dynasty. The first two lines are about the spring scene in front of us. The three verbs “to press”, “to stick” a...

行香子 过七里濑[1] 苏轼 一叶[2]舟轻， 双桨鸿[3]惊。 水天清、 影湛[4]波平。 鱼翻藻鉴[5]， 鹭[6]点烟汀[7]。 过沙溪急， 霜溪冷， 月溪明。 重重似画， 曲曲如屏[8]。 算当年、 虚老严陵[9]。 君臣一梦， 今古空名[10]。 但远山长， 云山乱， 晓山青。 注释： [1]七里濑：又名七里滩、七里泷，在今浙江省桐庐县城南三十里。钱塘江两岸山峦夹峙，水流湍急，连绵七里，因此得名七里濑。濑，沙石上流过的急水。 [2]一叶：舟轻小如叶，因此称“一叶”。 [3]鸿：大雁。 [4]湛：水清澈。 [5]藻鉴：亦称藻镜。指背面刻有鱼、藻之类纹饰的铜镜。这里比喻像镜子一样平的水面。藻，生活在水中的一种隐花植物。鉴，镜子。 [6]鹭：一种水鸟。 [7]汀：水中或水边的平地；小洲。 [8]屏：屏风，室内用具，用来挡风或障蔽。 [9]严陵：严光，字子陵，东汉人，曾与刘秀同学，并帮助刘秀打天下。刘秀称帝后，他更名隐居。刘秀三次派人才把他召到京师。授谏议大夫的官职，他不肯接受，归隐富春江，终日钓鱼。 [10]空名：世人多认为严光钓鱼是假，“钓名”是真。唐人韩偓（wò）《招隐》诗：“时人未会严陵志，不钓鲈鱼只钓名。”这里指刘秀的称帝和严光的垂钓都不过是梦一般的空名而已。 Joy of Eternal Union Passing the Seven-league Shallows Su Shi A leaflike boat goes light; At dripping oars wild geese take fright. Under a sky serene Clear shadows float on calm waves green. Among the mirrored water grass fish play And egrets dot the riverbank mist-grey. Thus I go past The sandy brook flowing fast, The frosted brook cold, The moonlit brook bright to behold. Hill upon hill is a picturesque scene; Bend after bend looks like a screen. I...

西江月 苏轼 顷在黄州，春夜行蕲水中，过酒家饮，酒醉，乘月至一溪桥上，解鞍曲肱，醉卧少休。及觉已晓，乱山攒拥，流水锵然，疑非尘世也。书此语桥柱上。 照野弥弥 [1] 浅浪， 横空隐隐层霄。 障泥未解玉骢骄， 我欲醉眠芳草。 可惜一溪风月， 莫教踏碎琼瑶。 解鞍欹枕绿杨桥， 杜宇一声春晓。   注释： [1] 弥弥：水盛大的样子。 The Moon over the West River Su Shi Wavelet on wavelet glimmers by the shore; Cloud on cloud dimly appears in the sky. Unsaddled is my white-jadelike horse; Drunk, asleep in the sweet grass I’ll lie. My horse’s hoofs may break, I’m afraid, The breeze-rippled brook paved by moonlit jade. I tether my horse to a bough of green willow Near the bridge where I pillow My head on arms and sleep till the cuckoo’s song awakes A spring daybreak.   注释： The poet describes the happiness of his sleep after drinking. 《西江月·照野弥弥浅浪》是宋代文学家苏轼的词作。上片写词人路上的见闻和醉态，下片言词人对美好景物的怜惜之情。此词以空山明月般澄澈、空灵的心境，描绘了一个富有诗情画意的月夜人间仙境图，表现出一个物我两忘、超然物外的境界，抒发了作者乐观、豁达、以顺处逆的襟怀。全词寓情于景，情景交融，境界空灵浩渺，读来回味无穷。 Xijiang Yue (The Moon over the West River) is a lyric by Su Shi, a writer of the Song Dynasty.

清平乐 春晚 王安国 留春不住。 费尽莺儿语。 满地残红宫锦[1]污， 昨夜南园[2]风雨。 小怜[3]初上琵琶。 晓来思绕天涯。 不肯画堂朱户， 春风自在杨花[4]。   注释： [1]宫锦：宫中特用的锦缎。 [2]南园：泛指园囿。 [3]小怜：北齐后主高纬宠妃冯淑妃之名；冯天资聪慧，能弹琵琶。这里泛指歌女。 [4]杨花：又作“梨花”。 Pure Serene Music Later Spring Wang Anguo Spring cannot be retained, Though orioles have exhausted their song. The ground is strewn with fallen reds like brocade stained, The southern garden washed by rain all the night long. For the first time the songstress plucks the pipa string; At dawn her yearning soars into the sky. The painted hall with crimson door’s no place for spring; The vernal breeze with willow down wafts high.   注释： This poem describes a songstress’ regret for the departing spring. 《清平乐·春晚》是宋代词人王安国的作品。此词上片以倒装句式描绘暮春萧条的景色，抒写惜花惜春的情意，表达了作者慨叹美好年华逝去的惆怅情怀；下片抒写暮春伤逝念远的幽怨，以暮春纷飞的杨花不肯飞入权贵人家的画堂朱户，表达了作者不亲权贵的品格。全词情景交融，清新婉丽，曲折多致，笔法精妙，堪称伤春词中的佳作。 “Pure Serene Music – Later Spring” is a work by Wang Anguo, a lyricist of the Song Dynasty.
