伤春
杨万里[1]
准拟[2]今春乐事浓[3]，
依然枉却[4]一东风。
年年不带看花眼[5]，
不是愁中即病中。
注释：
[1] 杨万里：字廷秀，南宋诗人。《千家诗》注说：“准拟，预料也。春光未到之时，预料今春赏心乐事，必兴浓而稠密。岂知一春已过，而宴赏仍虚。盖年年花发而略不曾观者，非愁中无绪，则病中未能也。伤春之意，情见于词矣。”诗人忧国忧民，非愁即病，不能享受大好春光。这首诗从反面写出了自然之美，诗人对自然之爱。
[2] 准拟：预料，满以为。
[3] 浓：多。
[4] 枉却：辜负。
[5] 不带看花眼：没有游春赏花的眼福。
Grief in Spring
Yang Wanli
I thought this spring would bring more pleasure than before,
But I’ve enjoyed the eastern breeze and nothing more.
From year to year I have no eyes to enjoy flowers,
For I am laden with grief or ill in my bowers.
《伤春》是南宋诗人杨万里创作的一首七言绝句。这首诗写的是诗人在日常生活中的感受：春日可乐，而自己却非愁即病，年年都辜负了大好春光。这种主观与客观的矛盾对立使诗人禁不住感慨万端，发出一种无可奈何的叹息，而诗人愁病交加的面容、苦笑的表情和自嘲的意味给人留下了难忘的印象。这首诗不假雕饰，自然浑成，是“诚斋体”的成功之处。
“Grief in Spring” is a seven-line poem written by Yang Wanli, a poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. This poem is about the poet’s feelings in his daily life: he is sad or sick, and he misses the beautiful spring day every year. This contradiction between subjectivity and objectivity makes the poet feel a lot of emotions and let out a hopeless sigh, while his sad and sick face, bitter smile and self-deprecation leave an unforgettable impression. This poem is a success of “Chengzhai style” because it is natural and unadorned.
