小编导读：《题乌江亭》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七言绝句。这首诗议论战争成败之理，提出自己对历史上已有结局的战争的假设性推想。首句言胜败乃兵家常事。次句批评项羽胸襟不够宽广，缺乏大将气度。三四句设想项羽假如回江东重整旗鼓，说不定就可以卷土重来。这首诗对项羽负气自刎的惋惜，但主要的意思却是批评他不善于把握机遇，不善于听取别人的建议，不善于得人、用人。 《题乌江亭》 杜牧 胜败兵家事不期， 包羞忍耻是男儿。 江东弟子多才俊， 卷土重来未可知。 Inscription at Wujiang Pavilion Du Mu Win or lose is hardly predictable for a man of war, Ability to take insults and bear shame a real man shows. Jiangdong has no lack of brave lads among its offspring, Who knows if a comeback might not be in the offing.

小编导读：《齐安郡后池绝句》是唐代诗人杜牧的作品。此诗展示了一幅清幽而妍丽的画面：在蒙蒙丝雨的笼罩下，有露出水面的菱叶、铺满池中的浮萍，有穿叶弄花的鸣莺、花枝离披的蔷薇，还有双双相对的浴水鸳鸯。诗人把这些生机盎然、杂呈眼底的景物，加以剪裁，组合成诗。全诗通篇写景，但并不是一首单纯的写景诗，景中有人有情，意境空灵含蓄，有若即若离之妙。 《齐安郡后池绝句》 杜牧 菱透浮萍绿锦池，夏莺千啭弄蔷薇。 尽日无人看微雨，鸳鸯相对浴红衣。 Backyard Pool in Qi’An Prefecture, a Quatrain Du Mu Water chestnuts break duckweeds to green the brocade pool, Summer orioles warble in profuse strains to tease the rose. Day ends, and no one bothers to enjoy the light rain, While the mandarin ducks in their red coats bathe face to face.

小编导读：《山行》是诗人杜牧的一首描写和赞美深秋山林景色的七言绝句。这首诗描绘的是秋之色，展现出一幅动人的山林秋色图，山路、人家、白云、红叶，构成一幅和谐统一的画面。在这首诗中，杜牧以情驭景，敏捷、准确地捕捉足以体现自然美的形象，并把自己的情感融汇其中，使情感美与自然美水乳交融，情景互为一体。 《山行》 杜牧 远上寒山石径斜， 白云生处有人家。 停车坐爱枫林晚， 霜叶红于二月花。 Mountain Trip Du Mu Winding up the rocky path in cold mountain far; Homesteads unveiled in the floating white clouds. Stopped the coach to enjoy the late maple woods; Frosty leaves redder than the February flowers.

小编导读：《秋夕》是唐代诗人杜牧（一作王建）创作的一首七言绝句，是一首宫怨诗。这首诗描写一名孤单的宫女，于七夕之夜，仰望天河两侧的牛郎织女，不时扇扑流萤，排遣心中寂寞，反映了宫廷妇女不幸的命运，表现了一位官女举目无亲、百无聊赖的苦闷心情。 《秋夕》 杜牧 银烛秋光冷画屏，轻罗小扇扑流萤。 天阶夜色凉如水，坐看牵牛织女星。 Autumn Night Du Mu Silver candle, autumn light and cold picture screen, Small fan of light silk swatting streaking glow-worms. Palace steps at night cold as water, Where she sits watching Cowherd and Weaving Girl.

小编导读：《题宣州开元寺水阁阁下宛溪夹溪居人》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七言律诗。此诗前六句以六朝文物消失和天光水色依旧对比，表达一种人事无常而自然永恒的感慨。后两句忽然又联想到范蠡，感慨“萧条异代不同时”，自己与他无缘相见，只能怀着仰慕的心情凭吊他的遗踪。 《题宣州开元寺水阁》 杜牧 六朝文物草连空，天澹云闲今古同。 鸟去鸟来山色里，人歌人哭水声中。 深秋帘幕千家雨，落日楼台一笛风。 惆怅无因见范蠡，参差烟树五湖东。 Ruined Splendour Du Mu The splendour of the Six Dynasties—now a rank growth of weeds! Yet the sky is the same quiet blue, the clouds tranquil as of yore. Over the ages, birds have come and gone, fading into the gloom of the wooded hills; men have rejoiced and wept, their songs and wails alike merged in the roaring stream. In the valley below hundreds of cottages now nestle, their curtained windows hut against the late autumn rain. Oft as the sun goes down, there rises a chill wind, carrying to these lofty towers the shrill notes of a lonesome flute. What a pity Fan Li is not to be met with, that man of sagacity who retired at the zenith of his political career! Over there, near the very lakes he used to roam, the silhouette of ancient trees looms ragged through the evening haze.

小编导读：《金谷园》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七言绝句。这是一首即景生情诗。诗人经过西晋富豪石崇的金谷园遗址而兴吊古情思。前句写金谷园昔日的繁华，今已不见；二句写人事虽非，风景不殊；三、四两句即景生情，听到啼鸟声声似在哀怨；看到落花满地，想起当年坠楼自尽的石崇爱妾绿珠。句句写景，层层深入，景中有人，景中寓情。写景意味隽永，抒情凄切哀婉。 《金谷园》 杜牧 繁华事散逐香尘，流水无情草自春。 日暮东风怨啼鸟，落花犹似坠楼人。 The Ghost of a Garden Du Mu The pomp, the pageant, the profusion—all gone with the dust of the princely prodigal. Yet the grass grows green and the stream flows unruffled. Only in the gloaming, when the birds pour forth their doleful music, is Nature reminded of Beauty’s tragic end. Then the east wind sighs, and fated flowers flutter and fall.

小编导读：《惜春》这首诗的作者是杜牧，被选入《全唐诗》的第520卷。 《惜春》 杜牧 春半年已除，其余强为有。 即此醉残花，便同尝腊酒。 怅望送春杯，殷勤扫花帚。 谁为驻东流，年年长在手！ Pity It Abides Not! Du Mu Spring is on the decline. That spells the end of the year; the remaining days do not count. I raise my cup to the flowers that are loath to go; even the wine tastes of winter. Distressing the thought: after the parting cup, the broom. Thus life flows away. If there be anyone to stay its course, tell me who.

小编导读：《赤壁》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七言绝句，诗人即物感兴，托物咏史，点明赤壁之战关系到国家存亡，社稷安危；同时暗指自己胸怀大志不被重用，以小见大。 《赤壁》 杜牧 折戟沈沙铁未销，自将磨洗认前朝。 东风不与周郎便，铜雀春深销二乔。 The Red Cliff Du Mu A broken halberd, long buried in the sand, for hundreds of years the metal remains. Let me pick it up—rinsed and polished, it tells of the Kingdoms long perished. Had the east wind refused Duke Zhou the favour, the two beautiful sisters of the Qiao family Would have been locked up in the Bronze Bird Tower, entertaining Cao Cao, Zhou’s implacable foe.

《过华清宫(其二)》是唐代文学家杜牧的诗作。诗人从“安史之乱”的纷繁复杂的史事中，只摄取了“渔阳探使回”的一个场景，是颇具匠心的。它既揭露了安禄山的狡黠，又暴露了玄宗的糊涂，有“一石二鸟”的妙用。 《过华清宫(其二)》 杜牧 新丰绿树起黄埃，数骑渔阳探使回。 霓裳一曲千峰上，舞破中原始下来。 Passing Huaqing Palace(2) Du Mu From among the green trees of Xinfeng dust rose; Those on a spying mission to Yuyang returned on their mounts. Over Mount Li the music of Rainbow-Feather-Garment hovered unceasing Until the nation was torn asunder by dancing steps.

《过华清宫(其一)》是唐代文学家杜牧的诗作。此诗通过送荔枝这一典型事件，鞭挞了玄宗与杨贵妃骄奢淫逸的生活，有着以微见著的艺术效果，精妙绝伦，脍炙人口。 《过华清宫(其一)》 杜牧 长安回望绣成堆，山顶千门次第开。 一骑红尘妃子笑，无人知是荔枝来。 Passing Huaqing Palace(1) Du Mu Viewed from Chang’an, Mount Li seemed a piece of embroidery; Countless gates opened one after another on a hill-top. At a horse raising red dust the imperial concubine smiled; No one knew it was for the litchi fruit it had brought.

《泊秦淮》是唐代文学家杜牧的诗作。此诗是诗人夜泊秦淮时触景感怀之作，前半段写秦淮夜景，后半段抒发感慨，借陈后主（陈叔宝）因追求荒淫享乐终至亡国的历史，讽刺那些不从中汲取教训而醉生梦死的晚唐统治者，表现了作者对国家命运的无比关怀和深切忧虑的情怀。全诗寓情于景，意境悲凉，感情深沉含蓄，语言精当锤炼，艺术构思颇具匠心，写景、抒情、叙事有机结合，具有强烈的艺术感染力。 《泊秦淮》 杜牧 烟笼寒水月笼沙，夜泊秦淮近酒家。 商女不知亡国恨，隔江犹唱后庭花。 Mooring in the Qinuai River Du Mu Mist envelops the cold water, and moonlight the sand; Not far from a tavern I moor my boat in the Qinhuai at night. A singsong girl, not knowing the bitterness of a conquered kingdom, Sings Flowers of the Backyard on the river’s other side.

《江南春绝句》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七言绝句。这首诗是杜牧千古传诵的名篇。这首诗将自然风景和人文景观交织起来进行描写，把美丽如画的江南自然风景和烟雨蒙蒙中南朝的人文景观结合起来。在烟雨迷蒙的春色之中，渗透出诗人对历史兴亡盛衰的感慨和对晚唐国运的隐忧。 《江南春》 杜牧 千里莺啼绿映红，水村山郭酒旗风。 南朝四百八十寺，多少楼台烟雨中。 Spring South of the River Du Mu In this land a thousand li across, orioles warble among radiant tints of red and green; In waterside villages and by hillside city walls, tavern signs flutter in breeze. Of the four hundred and eighty temples built in the Southern Dynasties, Many towers and terraces are now there, shrouded in mist and rain.

《题村舍》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七言绝句。这首诗通过一个小女孩的命运写出了劳动人民的苦难，感叹中包含着对劳动人民的深切同情。整首诗格调苍凉，诗情悲哀而又无奈。短短四句诗，语至沉痛，表现出诗人对农民命运的同情。 《题村舍》 杜牧 三树稚桑春未到，扶床乳女午啼饥。 潜销暗铄归何处，万指侯家自不知。 A Rural Cottage Du Mu Three mulberry saplings stand frail, spring is yet to come; A toddling girl howls for hunger at midday. Wasting away as they are, what is their fate? A marquis with a thousand servants is insensible of all this.

《将赴吴兴登乐游原一绝》是唐代诗人杜牧创作的一首七绝。此诗先说自己才华平庸，喜欢如孤云般自在，如和尚般清净，表达了一种闲适的生活意趣；然后写自己临上任前对长安的不舍，回望唐太宗的昭陵，表达了想出守外郡为国出力，又不忍离京的忠君爱国之情。全诗以登乐游原起兴，以望昭陵戛止，采用了“托事于物”的兴体写法，是一篇难得的佳作。 《将赴吴兴登乐游原一绝》 杜牧 清时有味是无能，闲爱孤云静爱僧。 欲把一麾江海去，乐游原上望昭陵。 Poem Written on Merry-Making Height Before Leaving for Wuxing Du Mu Much play in time of peace speaks weakness loud; May I be quite as monk and free as cloud? I’ll hold a flag to go where sea will loom; First climb to scenic height to see King’s tomb.
