Li Shangyin: A Drizzle ~ 《微雨》 李商隐 with English Translations

小编导读:《微雨》是唐代诗人李商隐创作的一首五绝。此诗前两句写傍晚前后微雨刚落不久的情景,后两句写夜深后微雨落久的情景。全诗摹写入微,绘形绘声,通过多方面的刻画,传达出微雨的内在神韵,其妙处在于从虚处着笔,避免从正面铺写雨的形态,只是借人的感受作侧面烘托,显得非常灵活而新鲜。 《微雨》 李商隐 初随林霭动,稍共夜凉分。 窗迥侵灯冷,庭虚近水闻。 A Drizzle Li Shangyin Initial movement with woods brume; It slightly shares night cool. Distant Window and cold lamp; rain drip-drop Is clear and near in empty court.

Li Shangyin: Jia Sheng ~ 《贾生》 李商隐 with English Translations

小编导读:《贾生》是唐代诗人李商隐的一首借古讽今的咏史诗,意在借贾谊的遭遇,抒写诗人怀才不遇的感慨。其着眼点不在个人的穷通得失,而在于指出封建统治者不能真正重视人才,使其在政治上发挥作用。诗中选取汉文帝宣室召见贾谊,夜半倾谈的情节,写文帝不能识贤、任贤;“不问苍生问鬼神”则揭露了晚唐皇帝服药求仙,荒于政事,不顾民生的昏庸特性。此诗寓慨于讽,深刻而具有力度,在对贾谊怀才不遇的同情中,寄寓作者自己在政治上备受排挤、壮志难酬的感伤。 《贾生》 李商隐 宣室求贤访逐臣,贾生才调更无伦。 可怜夜半虚前席,不问苍生问鬼神。 Jia Sheng Li Shangyin At the royal hall, the courtier again was given a favor rare, For Jia was so learned and his talents were without compare. Pity that with most attentive ears for an answer at midnight, The emperor enquired about gods, not into people’s welfare.

Li Shangyin: Written on Behalf of Someone Else ~ 《代赠》 李商隐 with English Translations

小编导读:《代赠》的作者是唐代诗人李商隐,这首诗写思妇之离愁。代赠,即代拟的赠人之作。是李商隐以女子的口吻写与情人离别的愁思,这首诗写离愁,写得风华流美,情致宛转。 《代赠》 李商隐 楼上黄昏欲望休, 玉梯横绝月如钩。 芭蕉不展丁香结, 同向春风各自愁。 Written on Behalf of Someone Else Li Shangyin At dusk, she intended to go upstairs for a look; Now the staircase is idle, the moon is like a hook. The banana does not unfold and lilac still closes, Each feeling sad in the east wind in its own nook.

Li Shangyin: At the End of the World ~ 《天涯》 李商隐 with English Translations

小编导读:《天涯》是唐代诗人李商隐创作的一首五绝。此诗写作者沦落天涯,又值春残日暮,人有情而鸟无意,伤春伤时又自伤身世。首句平直叙起,蕴藏着极深沉凄惋的感情;次句使用“顶针”格,重复“天涯”二字,再点题意;转句用意深婉曲折,在婉曲回环中见奇警;结句余音袅袅,哀艳动人。全诗短短二十个字,运用寓情于景、移情于物的手法,用极艳之语抒发了极悲之意,明白如话而又宛转多姿,极有盛唐绝句风味,较典型地反映出李商隐的艺术创作特色。 《天涯》 李商隐 春日在天涯, 天涯日又斜。 莺啼如有泪, 为湿最高花。 At the End of the World Li Shangyin Spring sees me at the world’s end, And the sun again tips to the land. Orioles cry as if in copious tears, Wetting the highest twigs that bend.

Li Shangyin: Chang'e—the Moon Goddess ~ 《嫦娥》 李商隐 with English Translations

小编导读:《常娥》是唐代诗人李商隐的作品。此诗咏叹常娥(即嫦娥)在月中的孤寂情景,抒发诗人自伤之情。前两句分别描写室内、室外的环境,渲染空寂清冷的气氛,表现主人公怀思的情绪;后两句是主人公在一宵痛苦的思忆之后产生的感想,表达了一种孤寂感。全诗情调感伤,意蕴丰富,奇思妙想,真实动人。 《嫦娥》 李商隐 云母屏风烛影深, 长河渐落晓星沉。 嫦娥应悔偷灵药, 碧海青天夜夜心。 Chang’e—the Moon Goddess Li Shangyin On the mica screen is reflected the dark candle shadow, The Milky Way inclines and the morning stars hang low. Chang’e must regret stealing the pill of longevity, Now she mopes alone night after night in the sky blue.

Li Shangyin: The Jade Pool ~ 《瑶池》 李商隐 with English Translations

《瑶池》是唐代诗人李商隐创作的一首七言绝句。这首诗是借周穆王西游遇仙人西王母的神话,讥刺皇帝求仙的虚妄。全诗虚构了西王母盼不到周穆王重来,暗示穆王已故的故事情节,显示了求仙妄想与死亡不可避免的对立。 《瑶池》 李商隐 瑶池阿母绮窗开,黄竹歌声动地哀。 八骏日行三万里,穆王何事不重来。 The Jade Pool Li Shangyin Jade Pool’s Great Mother open windows wide; Green Bamboo Song moves Earth to tears each side. “His eight fine steeds can go long miles a day; Why’s the Crown not come here again to stay?”

Li Shangyin: Mengze Marsh ~ 《梦泽》 李商隐 with English Translations

《梦泽》是唐代诗人李商隐所写的一首咏史诗。此诗乃诗人于大中二年(848)北归时目睹荒凉的梦泽时有感所写。诗歌用辛辣的语调讽刺了楚灵王的昏庸无道,并对渴求宠幸的宫女的愚昧麻木表达了深深的谴责和惋惜。 《梦泽》 李商隐 梦泽悲风动白茅,楚王葬尽满城娇。 未知歌舞能多少,虚减宫厨为细腰。 Mengze Marsh Li Shangyin The grass trembles before a mournful wind o’er the lakeshore; Here a king of Chu buried all the pretty girls of his capital. Although none of them knew how long she could dance for the king, For thinning their waists, their food was stinted—what was the good after all?

Li Shangyin: To Ling Hu, an Official ~ 《寄令狐郎中》 李商隐 with English Translations

《寄令狐郎中》是唐朝诗人李商隐的作品之一,这是诗人闲居洛阳时所作。这首诗以感谢故人关心之名籍以修好,意在不言,诗中有感念旧恩故交之意,却无卑屈趋奉之态;有感慨身世落寞之辞,却无乞援望荐之意;情意虽谈不上浓至深厚,却比较真诚,表现了诗人与友人之间平等而真诚的关系。 《寄令狐郎中》 李商隐 嵩云秦树久离居,双鲤迢迢一纸书。 休问梁园旧宾客,茂陵秋雨病相如。 To Ling Hu, an Official Li Shangyin I’m in east Song, you’re in west Qin, we’re long apart; Your note in two carps from afar brings me your heart. Please do not ask about Liang Garden’s old-time guest; In woods, in fall rains Xiangru’s ill at home to rest.
