Tang poems and Song Ci

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.

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.
