Bai Juyi Poem: Drinking Together with Liu Yuxi – 白居易《与梦得沽酒闲饮 且约后期》
与梦得沽 [1] 酒闲饮且约后期 白居易 少时犹不忧生计, 老去谁能惜酒钱? 共把十千沽一斗, 相看七十欠三年。 闲征雅令穷经史, 醉听清吟胜管弦。 更待菊黄家酿熟, 共君一醉一陶然 [2] 。 注释: [1] 梦得:刘禹锡,字梦得,与白居易同龄。开成二年(837),白、刘(六十七岁,故云“相看七十欠三年”)同在洛阳。刘任太子宾客分司,白任太子少傅,都是闲职,故得“闲饮且约后期”。 [2] 陶然:舒畅快乐的样子。 Drinking Together with Liu Yuxi Bai Juyi While young, I was not worded about livelihood. Old now, how could I grudge money for buying wine? Let’s spend ten thousand coins for a jarful of drink good! Looking in face, two years more we’ll be sixty-nine. We read and play the drinkers’ wager game at leisure; Drunk, we listen to verse better than music light. When chrysanthemums yellow, may 1 have the pleasure To invite you to drink my home-brew with delight? The poet expresses his delight in drinking together with an old friend. 《与梦得沽酒闲饮且约后期》是唐代诗人白居易所作的一首七律。这首诗首联写人生不同时段的感受;颔联、颈联明写“醉听清吟”对饮的乐趣,暗含对政治上遭冷遇的不满;尾联紧扣题意,作者把眼前的聚会引向未来,把友情和诗意推向高峰。尾句的“一醉一陶然”,既表达了作者对挚友的深情厚谊,又表现出作者在现实面前的哀伤和愁苦。全诗言简意赅,语淡情深。 The poem “Drinking Together with Liu Yuxi” is a seven-line poem written by Bai Juyi...
