Now blows the evening wind so high; From mountain to mountain yellow leaves fly. The poet staying in the mountains thinks of his home far away when autumn leaves fall. 《山中》是唐代文学家王勃的诗作。此诗抒发了作者久滞异地，渴望早日回乡的思想感情。起句“长江悲已滞”既写景，又抒情，情因景起，景又生情；次句“万里念将归”紧承首句，具体抒发远游思归的悲苦心境；第三句转为写物候，承接上两句含义，在深秋寒风飒飒之夜令人感伤不已；结句“山山黄叶飞”写深秋的景象，强调了诗人所处的环境，突现了人物的形象和心情。全诗语言洗练，情景交融，塑造了一个天涯游子的典型形象，其丰富的意象渲染了悲凉的氛围，衬托出诗人久客思归的凄苦心境。 “In the Mountains” is a poem written by Wang Bo, a writer of the Tang Dynasty. This poem expresses the author’s thoughts and feelings of longing to return to his hometown after being stranded in a foreign land for a long time. The first line, “The Yangtze River is sad and stagnant,” is both a description of the scenery a...

送友游吴越 杜荀鹤 去越从吴过， 吴疆与越连。 有园多种桔， 无水不生莲。 夜市桥边火， 春风寺外船。 此中偏重客， 君去必经年。 Seeing a Friend off to the South Du Xunhe You go from north to south, From land to river mouth. Oranges in gardens loom; Lotus on water bloom. The night fair’s bright as day; Outside temples boats stay. Welcome from far and near Would make you stay a year.

送日本国僧敬龙 [1] 归 韦庄 扶桑 [2] 已在渺茫 [3] 中， 家在扶桑东更东。 此去与师谁共到， 一船明月一帆风。 注释： [1] 敬龙：日本僧人的名字。诗中的“师”也是指此人。 [2] 扶桑：《梁书·东夷传》中记载：“扶桑在大汉国东二万余里，地在中国之东，其土多扶桑木，故以为名。”《十洲记》中也称：“扶桑在碧海中，树长数千丈，一千余围，两干同根，更相依倚，日所出处。”一般以扶桑为东海古国，后来称日本为扶桑。 [3] 渺茫：遥远空荡的样子。 Farewell to a Japanese Monk Wei Zhuang The land of mulberry is in the boundless sea; Your home’s farther east to the land of mulberry. Who would arrive with you at the land of your dreams? A sail unfurled in wind, a boat steeped in moonbeams. Japan was called the land of mulberry. 《送日本国僧敬龙归》是唐代文学家韦庄创作的一首七绝。此诗是作者为送别日本僧人归国而作，祝愿自己的朋友一路平安，顺利到达家乡。诗人只在“送归”上落笔，体现了对异国友人的关心与惜别之情。全诗语言质朴清新，感情真挚感人。明月和风这两个意象，既表达了诗人祝福的心愿，又描绘出一幅美妙、壮阔的海月行舟图，引人遐思。 The poem “Farewell to a Japanese Monk” is a seven-part poem composed by Wei Zhuang, a writer of the Tang Dynasty.

别离 陆龟蒙 丈夫非无泪， 不洒离别间。 杖剑 [1] 对尊 [2] 酒， 耻为游子颜。 蝮蛇 [3] 一螫 [4] 手， 壮士即解腕 [5] 。 所志在功名， 离别何足叹。 注释： [1] 杖剑：“仗剑”，持剑之意。杖，持、拿着。 [2] 尊：一种酒器．又作“樽”、“罇”。 [3] 蝮蛇：我国剧毒蛇类的一种。 [4] 螫（shì）：有毒腺的虫子刺人叫作螫。《史记·田儋列传》：“蝮螫手则斩手，螫足则斩足。” [5] 解腕：斩断手腕。 Parting Lu Guimeng A hero may shed tears, Not when parting with peers. Sword in hand, he drinks wine, Unlike roamers who pine. When bitten by the snake, He would have his wrist break. With his career at heart, He won’t regret to part. This poem talks about heroic parting. 《别离》是唐代诗人陆龟蒙创作的一首五言律诗。这首诗的首联用洒脱挺拔之笔，生动地勾勒出主人公坚强刚毅的性格。颔联用壮士奔赴战场的比喻，描画出大丈夫的壮伟形象。颈联运用成语，表明大丈夫不畏艰险、不怕牺牲的大无畏精神。尾联总束前文，点明大丈夫的志向在于建功立业。全诗于议论中抒情，形象光彩照人。 “Parting” is a poem in five lines written by Lu Guimeng, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

宣州送裴坦 [1] 判官往舒州 [2] ，时牧欲赴官归京 杜牧 日暖泥融雪半消， 行人芳草马声骄。 九华山 [3] 路云遮寺， 清弋江 [4] 村柳拂桥。 君意如鸿高的的 [5] ， 我心悬旆 [6] 正摇摇 [7] 。 同来不得同归去， 故国逢春一寂寥。 注释： [1] 裴坦：字知进，中进士后任宣州判官，与杜牧同事。 [2] 舒州：春秋时称皖国，唐武德四年（621）改隋同安郡为舒州，至德二年（757）改为盛唐郡，旋复名。《唐书·地理志》中的“淮南道舒州同安郡”，在今安徽省潜山一带。 [3] 九华山：中国佛教四大名山之一，号称“佛国仙城”。在今安徽省青阳县西南，是裴坦此行往赴舒州的必经之地。 [4] 清弋江：一名青弋江。《元和郡县志》：“宣州宣城县清弋水，州西九十九里。”《方舆纪要》：“宁国府宣城县青弋江，府西六十里，源出泾县及池州府之石埭县，又太平县及府西南境诸川皆汇入焉。” [5] 的的：这里形容大雁的高飞。 [6] 悬旆（pèi）：比喻心中不定，犹如风中飘舞的旗子。 [7] 摇摇：心神无主，忐忑不安的样子。《史记·苏秦传》：“心摇摇然如悬旌，而无所终薄。” Farewell to Pei Tan, Judge of Xuancheng, upon Going Back to the Capital Du Mu The snow in warming sun has half melted away; You who will go on fragrant grass hear your horse neigh. Over the mountain path clouds veil the temple drear; The willow tips caress the bridge on River Clear. Your ideal will fly up as high as the wild geese; My mind still flutters like a streamer in the breeze. Coming together, I cannot go back with you. How lonely I’d feel at home when spring comes anew! This poem depicts the scene...

寄扬州韩绰 [1] 判官 [2] 杜牧 青山隐隐水迢迢 [3] ， 秋尽江南草未凋 [4] 。 二十四桥 [5] 明月夜， 玉人 [6] 何处教吹箫。 注释： [1] 韩绰（chuò）：生平事迹不详。从杜牧的另一首《哭韩绰》诗来看，当是杜牧的友人，后同在京城为官，二人有很深厚的友谊。 [2] 判官：唐代的一种官职，负责在节度使、观察使府中掌管文书事务。 [3] 迢迢：一作“遥遥”。遥远。 [4] 草未凋：一作“草木凋”。 [5] 二十四桥：宋代沈括《梦溪笔谈·补笔谈》并举其桥名，说二十四座桥，即唐代扬州城的二十四座小桥（沈氏实列举二十三座）；清代李斗在其《扬州画舫录·卷十五》中，则说二十四桥，即吴家砖桥，一名红药桥。 [6] 玉人：美人，此处指韩绰。 For Han Chuo, Judge of Yangzhou Du Mu The dreaming green hills stretch as far as the blue streams; At autumn’s end grass seems still green on southern shore. Twenty-four fairies on the bridge steeped in moonbeams, Are they still playing on the flute now as before? This is a beautiful description of an autumn scene in Yangzhou. 《寄扬州韩绰判官》是唐代诗人杜牧的诗作。此诗作于诗人离开扬州以后。诗人着意刻画深秋的扬州依然绿水青山、草木葱茏，二十四桥月夜仍然乐声悠扬、清丽俊爽，以此调侃友人生活的闲逸，表达了诗人对过往扬州生活的深情怀念。全诗意境优美，清丽俊爽，情趣盎然。 The poem “For Han Chuo, Judge of Yangzhou” is a poem by Du Mu, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

重赠 [1] 乐天 元稹 休遣 [2] 玲珑 [3] 唱我诗， 我诗多是别君词。 明朝又向江头别， 月落潮平是去时。 注释： [1] 重赠：这首诗是为送别白居易而写的。在此之前元稹已写过一首《赠乐天》的诗，因此叫“重赠”。 [2] 休遣：别让。 [3] 玲珑：原诗题下作者自注云：“乐人商玲珑能歌，歌予数十诗。”商玲珑是白居易身边的乐工，善于歌唱。 Parting Again with Bai Juyi Yuan Zhen Don’t let the songstress sing my songs anew! Most of them are farewell poems for you. Tomorrow again we’ll part by riverside, Alas! At moonset when outflows the tide. The poet would not listen to farewell songs for they would bring to his mind farewells past and future. 《重赠》是唐代诗人元稹写给挚友白居易的一首七绝。此诗描写了元白两人赠别前的情景和对赠别时的想象，真挚地流露出作者对友人离去的依依惜别之情。全诗纯是口头语、眼前景，虽然语言浅显，内容单纯，但因为音韵上的反复，结构上的呼应，以及呼告语势与顶针修辞的运用，处处构成微妙的唱叹之致，产生一种萦回不已的余韵，生动而充分地表达了诗人的无限惋惜和惆怅之情。 The poem is a seven-part poem written by Yuan Zhen, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, to his best friend Bai Juyi. The poem describes the scene before Yuan and Bai’s farewell and their imagination of the farewell, sincerely revealing the author’s feelings of regret for the departure of his friend. The poem is purely verbal and eye-catchi...

酬 [1] 乐天频梦微之 [2] 元稹 山水万重 [3] 书断绝， 念君怜我梦相闻。 我今因病魂颠倒， 唯梦闲人不梦君。 注释： [1] 酬：应和；酬答。 [2] 微之：元稹，字微之。 [3] 山水万重：形容路途非常遥远。 Dream and No Dream Yuan Zhen Letters can’t pass over thousands of mountains and streams. How much I thank you for you have sent me your dreams. I’m sorry that in illness I can’t tell old friends from new; I dream of indifferent people, but not you. The poet who has not dreamed of his friend sends him as much friendship as his friend who has. 《酬乐天频梦微之》是唐代诗人元稹所写的一首七言绝句。此诗约写于元和十二年（817）前后。当时元稹贬通州司马，白居易谪江州司马，一南一北，相隔数千里之遥。加之“山水万重”，音信不通，只有梦中相见。白居易多次梦见元稹，并作诗相告。这首诗就是酬答乐天“频梦”之作。 志同道合、交谊深厚的朋友，总希望经常见面，如果分开了，就希望经常通信，而如果山长水远，连通信都不方便，那便只有梦中相见，以慰离怀了。白居易屡次梦见元稹，作诗相告，正表现了这种生活常情，如此诗前两句所写的。但元稹收到白居易这首诉说衷肠的诗篇的时候，正在病中。由于生病，精神就颠倒了。经常想念的好友不曾出现于梦中，而一向没有想到过的“闲人”却屡次在梦中出现，这就更使自己感到离群索居的悲痛了。以梦中相见代替实际相见，已令人感到惆怅，何况梦中也不曾相见。这是深入一层的写法。前两句属白，后两句属己，以白之频频梦己，与己之因病未尝梦白对照，事异情同。写入梦以见相思之切，人之所同；写不入梦而仍见相思之切，则是己之所独。这是此诗别开生面之处。 这首诗纯用白描，几乎没有设色布景，而人物形象生动，情调也感人肺腑。 The poem “Dream and No Dream” is a seven-line poem w...

舟中读元九 [1] 诗 白居易 把君诗卷灯前读， 诗尽灯残天未明。 眼痛灭灯犹暗坐， 逆风吹浪打船声。 注释： [1] 元九：元稹，字微之，因在族中排行第九，因此称元九。是白居易的挚友。 Reading Yuan Zhen’s Poems in a Boat Bai Juyi I read your book of poetry by the lamplight, And finish it when oil burns low at dead of night. Eyes sore, I blow the light out and sit in the dark; The waves brought up by adverse wind beat on the bark. The poet and his friend are in exile, so he feels waves rise in his heart as on the river. 《舟中读元九诗》是唐代诗人白居易的作品。此诗以凄苦为基调，运用了白描的手法，通过“灯残”、“诗尽”、“眼痛”、“暗坐”这些词语所展示的环境、氛围、色彩，表现出对元稹的关切、思念之情。前三句连用“灯”字，创设出“灯前读诗”、“诗尽灯残”、“灭灯暗坐”三个意象，创造了一种黑夜中凄清的环境，思念中凄苦的心情，贬谪中凄凉的人生的意境。 The poem “Reading Yuan Zhen’s Poems in a Boat” is a work by Bai Juyi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem has a poignant tone and uses the technique of white description to show the concern and longing for Yuan Zhen through the words “the lamp is broken”, “the poem is finished”, “the eyes are aching” and “sitting in the dark”. The poem use...

赋得 [1] 古原 [2] 草送别 白居易 离离 [3] 原上草， 一岁一枯荣。 野火烧不尽， 春风吹又生。 远芳 [4] 侵古道， 晴翠 [5] 接荒城。 又送王孙 [6] 去， 萋萋 [7] 满别情。 注释： [1] 赋得：凡是指定、限定的诗题，按惯例要在题目上加“赋得”二字。 [2] 古原：古原野。也有人认为是乐游原，是汉宣帝修建的游览地，在陕西长安城南。 [3] 离离：青草茂盛的样子。 [4] 远芳：春草的芳香播散得很远。 [5] 晴翠：阳光下翠绿的野草。 [6] 王孙：本指贵族子弟，后来成为对他人的尊称。这里指即将远游的友人。 [7] 萋萋：青草长得茂盛的样子。 Grass on the Ancient Plain in Farewell to a Friend Bai Juyi Wild grasses spread over ancient plain; With spring and fall they come and go. Fire tries to burn them up in vain; They rise again when spring winds blow. Their fragrance overruns the way; Their green invades the ruined town. To see my friend going away, My sorrow grows like grass overgrown. The poet compares his friendship to the overgrown grass on the ancient plain. 《赋得古原草送别》是唐代诗人白居易的成名作。此诗通过对古原上野草的描绘，抒发送别友人时的依依惜别之情。它可以看成是一曲野草颂，进而是生命的颂歌。前四句侧重表现野草生命的历时之美，后四句侧重表现其共时之美。全诗章法谨严，用语自然流畅，对仗工整，写景抒情水乳交融，意境浑成，是“赋得体”中的绝唱。“野火烧不尽，春风吹又生”二句作为一种“韧劲”而有口皆碑，传诵千古。 此诗是作者应考的习作。按科场考试规矩，凡指定、限定的诗题，题目前须加“赋得”二字，作法与咏物相类，须缴清题意，起承转合要分明，对仗要精工，全篇要空灵浑成，方称得体。束缚如此之严，故此体向少佳作。据...

送友人 薛涛 水国 [1] 蒹葭 [2] 夜有霜， 月寒山色共苍苍 [3] 。 谁言千里自今夕， 离梦杳 [4] 如关塞长。 注释： [1] 水国：水乡，在诗里指巴山蜀水一带。 [2] 蒹葭（jiān jiā）：蒹，指没有长穗的芦苇。葭，指初生的芦苇。 [3] 苍苍：在这里指一种灰白色。 [4] 杳（yǎo）：指远得没有尽头。 Farewell to a Friend Xue Tao Waterside reeds are covered with hoarfrost at night; The green mountains are drowned in the cold blue moonlight. Who says a thousand miles will separate us today? My dream will follow you though you are far away. The poetess shows her love by saying distance cannot separate friends in dreams. 《送友人》是唐代女诗人薛涛创作的一首七言绝句，是送别诗中的名篇。全诗四句，前两句写别浦晚景句，第三句是对友人的慰勉，末句抒写离情之苦。此诗的最大特点是隐含了《诗经》名篇《秦风·蒹葭》的意境，运用引用的修辞手法，以景开篇，以情点题，层层推进，处处曲折，可谓兼有委曲、含蓄的特点。 The poem “Farewell to a Friend” is a seven-line poem written by Xue Tao, a poetess of the Tang Dynasty, and is a famous poem among farewell poems. The first two lines are about the evening scene in Beipu, the third line is a consolation to the friend, and the last line expresses the pain of separation. The most important feature of this poem is that it implies...

We reappear but unlike our noble compeers; Thrice in exile I feel I’m unworthy of you. We watch returning wild geese till they’re out of sight; We’re sad to hear the monkey wail with broken heart. The Western River flows far from the Southern height. Longing for each other, can we be kept apart? The poet was banished to the south and his friend to the west for ten years, both were r...

送李副使 [1] 赴碛西 [2] 官军 岑参 火山 [3] 六月应更热， 赤亭道 [4] 口行人绝。 知君惯度祁连城 [5] ， 岂能愁见轮台 [6] 月。 脱鞍暂入酒家垆 [7] ， 送君万里西击胡。 功名只向马上取， 真是英雄一丈夫。 注释： [1] 李副使：名不详。副使，官名，唐制，于节度使下设副使一人协理军中事务。 [2] 碛（qì）西：指安西。《唐会要》卷七八：“安西四镇节度使，开元十二年以后，或称碛西节度，或称四镇节度。”安西即今天新疆维吾尔自治区库车县附近地区。 [3] 火山：今新疆吐鲁番盆地中的火焰山。 [4] 赤亭道：位于火山附近，在今新疆鄯县境内。 [5] 祁（qí）连城：今甘肃张掖东南，位于燕支山西侧，为唐代使西必经之地。 [6] 轮台：唐代庭州有轮台县，这里指的是汉置古轮台（今新疆轮台县东南），李副使赴碛西必经此地。 [7] 垆（lú）：酒店安置酒瓮的土墩子，后成为酒店的代称。 Seeing General Li off to the West Cen Shen Fiery Mountain in sixth moon hotter than before, No people pass by Red Pavilion any more. I know you’re used to hardship on the west frontier; Oh, could the moon over Wheel Tower make you drear? Unsaddle your horse, drink and drown in wine your woe; I’ll see you go for miles and miles to beat the foe. You will win rank and fame only on battle steed; A real hero must have done heroic deed. This quatrain reveals a wife’s fear of being deserted.

Our general with flags will westwar...

春日忆李白 杜甫 白也诗无敌， 飘然思不群。 清新庾开府 [1] ， 俊逸鲍参军 [2] 。 渭北 [3] 春天树， 江东 [4] 日暮云。 何时一樽酒， 重与细论文 [5] 。 注释： [1] 庚开府：庚信，南北朝著名诗人。因其曾在北周为骠骑大将军、开府仪同三司，故称庚开府。 [2] 鲍参军：鲍照，刘宋时曾为荆州前军参军。也是南北朝著名诗人。 [3] 渭北：渭水北岸，借指长安一带，当时杜甫也在此地。 [4] 江东：指今江苏省南部和浙江省北部一带。 [5] 论文：论诗。六朝以来，通称诗为文。 Thinking of Li Bai on a Spring Day Du Fu Li Bai is unrivalled in verse; He towers in the universe. Fresher than Yu on northern shore; Brighter than Bao, poet of yore. I long for him as longing tree; At sunset will he think of me? When may we drink a cup of wine And talk about prose and verse fine? Du Fu in the north thinks of Li Bai in the south and compares him to two poets of yore. 《春日忆李白》是唐代大诗人杜甫的诗作。此诗抒发了作者对李白的赞誉和怀念之情。全诗感情真挚，文笔直率，怀念之情倾杯而出，诗人在抒发怀念之情的同时，高度评价了李白诗歌的重要地位和突出风格，因而这篇怀友之作，从某种程度上说更是一首诗歌鉴赏之作。其中“清新庾开府，俊逸鲍参军”是流传千古的名句。 The poem “Thinking of Li Bai on a Spring Day” is a poem by Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty.

悲陈陶 杜甫 孟冬十郡良家子， 血作陈陶泽中水。 野旷天清无战声， 四万义军同日死。 群胡归来血洗箭， 仍唱胡歌饮都市。 都人回面向北啼， 日夜更望官军至。 Lament on the Defeat at Chentao Du Fu In early winter noble sons of household good Blended with water in Chentao mires their pure blood. No more war cry under the sky on the vast plain, In one day forty thousand loyal warriors slain. The enemy came back with blood-stained arrows long; They drank in market place and shouted barbarous song. Our countrymen turned north their faces bathed in tears; Day and night they expect the royal cavaliers. The poet weeps over the forty thousand men slain by the rebels in Chentao and expects in vain the recovery of the lost land by the royal forces. 《悲陈陶》是唐代大诗人杜甫的作品。此诗讲述的是唐肃宗至德元载（756年）冬，唐军跟安史叛军在陈陶作战，唐军四五万人几乎全军覆没的情事。前四句渲染战败后肃穆沉重的氛围；后四句先写胡兵的骄横，后写长安人民对官军收复长安的渴望。全诗寓主观于客观，把对胡虏的仇恨、对官军的痛惜、对长安百姓的同情、对国家命运的忧虑等种种感情，都凝聚在特定的场面中，体现出一种悲壮的美。 The poem “Lament on the Defeat at Chentao” is a work by Du Fu, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty.

送严士元 刘长卿 春风倚棹 [1] 阖闾城 [2] ， 水国 [3] 春寒阴复晴。 细雨湿衣看不见， 闲花落地听无声。 日斜江上孤帆影， 草绿湖南万里情。 君去若逢相识问， 青袍 [4] 今已误儒生 [5] 。 注释： [1] 倚棹（zhào）：停船。棹，划船工具，常用以代指船。 [2] 阖闾（hé lǘ）城：苏州城，相传是春秋时吴王阖闾所建。 [3] 水国：水乡。 [4] 青袍：青色的官服，唐代品级最低的官着青色。 [5] 儒生：诗人自称。 Farewell to Yan Shiyuan Liu Changqing In vernal breeze outside town walls we stop our oar; The cloudy weather turns fine on chilly river shore. Our gowns are wet with drizzling rain although unseen; The flowers fall at leisure unheard by ears keen. Your lonely sail sets off at sunset on the stream; The grass will green for miles the southern shore in dream. If you meet with some friends who inquire after me, Tell them the blue-gowned petty official’s carefree. The poet describes the scenes and discloses his mind to his friend. 《别严士元》是唐代诗人刘长卿的诗作。此诗通过描写送别友人严士元途中所见景物，感慨宦海沉浮，朋友伤别，感叹怀才不遇，前途渺茫。全诗运用一连串“景语”来叙述事件的进程和人物的行动，即写景是为了叙事抒情，其目的不在描山画水，然而毕竟又是描写了风景，所以画面生动，辞藻美丽，诗意十分浓厚。 The poem “Farewell to Yan Shiyuan” is a poem by Liu Changqing, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. ...

This quatrain is picturesque to show a recluse carrying sunset on his hat amid bamboos. 《送灵澈上人》是唐代诗人刘长卿的诗作。此诗共四句，前两句写灵澈上人欲回竹林寺的情景，后两句写诗人目送灵澈上人辞别归去的情景，抒发了诗人对友人离别的伤感与依依不舍之情，表达了对灵澈的深厚情意，也表现了灵澈清寂的风度以及诗人虽然失意却闲适淡泊的情怀。全诗纯为写景，恍如图画，借景抒情，构思精致，语言精炼，素朴秀美，意境闲淡，是一首感情深沉的送别诗，也是一幅构图美妙的景物画，为唐代山水诗的名篇。 The poem “Seeing off a Recluse” is a poem by Liu Changqing, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.

别韦参军 高适 二十解书剑 [1] ，西游长安城。 举头望君门，屈指 [2] 取公卿。 国风冲融迈三五，朝廷欢乐弥寰宇。 白璧皆言赐近臣，布衣不得干明主。 归来洛阳无负郭 [3] ，东过梁宋非吾土。 兔苑为农岁不登 [4] ，雁池垂钓心长苦。 世人遇我同众人，唯君于我最相亲。 且喜百年有交态，未尝一日辞家贫。 弹棋 [5] 击筑 [6] 白日晚，纵酒高歌杨柳春。 欢娱未尽分散去，使我惆怅惊心神。 丈夫不作儿女别，临歧涕泪沾衣巾。 注释： [1] 解书剑：会读书击剑。 [2] 屈指：计算时日。 [3] 负郭：近城的田，最为肥美。 [4] 岁不登：收成不好。 [5] 弹棋：古时两人对局棋，二十四子，红黑各半。 [6] 筑：状如筝的乐器，十三弦，以竹击。 Farewell to Wei, a Military Officer Gao Shi I came at twenty with my sword and books And visited the west capital town. I gazed at your mansion with longing looks And thought it easy to attain renown. The emperor surpassed the ancient kings, Music and rites were performed up and down. He lavished on his favorites jade rings, But unknown talents can’t come near the Crown. What could I do but come back to my land? Going east, I could not do what I wish. I cannot earn a living by the hand, Nor would I with a hook and line catch fish. For the world, like a common people I appear; But for you, I am dear and near as a compeer. From year to year I thank you for your fri...

别董大 [1] 高适 千里黄云白日曛 [2] ， 北风吹雁雪纷纷。 莫愁前路无知己， 天下谁人不识君。 注释： [1] 董大：董庭兰，唐代著名音乐家。 [2] 曛：曛黄，夕阳西沉时的昏黄景象。 Farewell to a Lutist Gao Shi Yellow clouds spread for miles and miles have veiled the day; The north wind blows down snow and wild geese fly away. Fear not you’ve no admirers as you go along. There is no connoisseur on earth but loves your song. The poet believes that there is no connoisseur but loves the lutist’s song. 《别董大二首》是唐代诗人高适的组诗作品。这两首诗是诗人与董大久别重逢，经过短暂的聚会以后，又各奔他方的赠别之作。第一首诗勾勒了送别时晦暗寒冷的愁人景色，表现了诗人当时处在困顿不达的境遇之中，既表露出作者对友人远行的依依惜别之情，也展现出诗人豪迈豁达的胸襟；第二首诗写老朋友相逢连买酒的钱都没有，自是穷困不堪，但诗人没有因此沮丧、沉沦，而是想到要奋翮高飞，其慷慨豪放之气自不可掩。全诗语言质朴，格调豪迈。 Two Poems of “Farewell to a Lutist” is a group of poems by Gao Shi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty.
