羌村三首（其一）
杜甫
峥嵘[1]赤云西，
日脚下平地。
柴门鸟雀噪，
归客千里至。
妻孥[2]怪我在，
惊定还拭泪。
世乱遭飘荡，
生还偶然遂[3]。
邻人满墙头，
感叹亦歔欷[4]。
夜阑[5]更秉烛，
相对如梦寐。
注释：
[1] 峥嵘：山高峻的样子，这里形容天空中云层重叠。
[2] 妻孥（nú）：妻子。
[3] 遂：如愿。
[4] 歔欷（xū xī）：感叹的样子。
[5] 夜阑：夜深。
Coming Back to Qiang Village （Ⅰ）
Du Fu
Like rugged hills hangs gilt-edged cloud;
The sunset sheds departing ray.
The wicket gate with birds is loud,
When I come back from far away.
At my appearance starts my wife;
Then calming down, she melts in tears.
Happy, I come back still in life,
While people drift in bitter years.
My neighbors look over the wall;
They sigh and from their eyes tears stream.
When night comes, candles light the hall;
We sit face to face as in dream.
This poem describes the reunion of the poet’s family at Qiang Village.
《羌村三首》是唐代大诗人杜甫创作的一组五言诗。这组诗是唐肃宗至德二载（757）杜甫在左拾遗任上因上书援救房琯而触怒唐肃宗，被放还鄜州羌村（在今陕西富县北）探家时所作。第一首诗着重写诗人初到家惊喜的情况；第二首诗写诗人得还家以后的矛盾心情；第三首诗写邻人的携酒慰问，通过父老们的话，反映出广大人民的生活。三首诗内容各异，从三个角度展现了杜甫回家省亲时的生活片断，客观真实地再现了黎民苍生饥寒交迫、妻离子散、朝不保夕的悲苦境况，构成了一组“还乡三部曲”，也构成一幅“唐代乱离图”。全诗熔叙事、抒情、写景于一炉，结构严谨，语言质朴，集中体现了杜甫沉郁顿挫的诗风。

The whole poem is a combination of narrative, lyricism and scenery, with a rigorous structure and simple language, reflecting Du Fu’s poetic style.
