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. Deep, deep along the stream I go, And hear hundreds of orioles sing. Flying cloud in my face turns to dragon or snake, And swiftly melts in azure sky. Lying drunk ‘neath old vines, I can’t make Out if it’s north or south by and by. 注释： This poem describes a dream in which the poet fancies clouds to be dragons or snakes. 《好事近·梦中作》是北宋词人秦观创作的一首词。此词生动形象地描写了作者的一次梦中之游的经过。词的上片先写他梦魂缥缈，在一条山路上漫游。下片是写词人的醉酒，写梦中仰望碧空，看到“飞云”涌动，如龙蛇飞舞，变幻莫，不禁为之神往，以至于忘乎所以，进入不知南北、物我两忘的仙境之中。全词着笔浓淡相宜，意兴飞扬，雨光花色，春山古藤，皆可入画，构思新妙，造语奇警，不似寻常手笔。 The song “Song of Good Event · In Dream” is a lyric composed by Qin Guan, a lyricist of the Northern Song Dynasty. This lyric vividly depicts the author’s dream trip. The upper part of the lyric begins with a descript...

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. By misfortune, among The flowers I cannot stay long. Misty waters outspread, I find the slanting sun on turning my head, And countless mountains high. Red flowers fall in showers, I don’t remember the way I came by. 注释： The banished poet writes this poem on his southward way, in which he describes the scenery of the peach blossom land he dreamed of. 《点绛唇·桃源》是宋代词人秦观创作的一首词。此词上片写词人醉中想象自己泛舟进入桃花源，醒后因身受官府羁绊而抱恨，隐寓向往仙境而天涯无路的苦境；下片择取人世间的四种凄凉景象，来影射词人黯淡、感伤的心境。起笔寓情于景，境界清丽；接着忽而转折，情辞悲苦；过片承上深入，浑化无迹，景色惨淡；结末景语淡出，情辞凄楚。全词委曲含蓄，耐人寻味。 The first piece is about a lyricist of the Song Dynasty, Qin Guan. The first verse is about the lyricist’s drunken imagination of himself rafting into the Peach Blossom Source, but after he wak...
