秦淮夜泊[1]
杜牧
烟笼[2]寒水月笼沙，
夜泊秦淮[3]近酒家。
商女[4]不知亡国恨，
隔江犹唱《后庭花》[5]。
注释：
[1] 这首诗是杜牧的名作。《后庭花》是陈代亡国之君陈叔宝的作品，陈后主日夜寻欢作乐，不知敌军兵临城下，结果国破家亡，春去花落。诗人听了这亡国之音，不免发思古之幽情，起盛衰兴亡之感慨。
[2] 笼：笼罩。
[3] 秦淮：秦淮河，此处指流经南京的部分，两岸酒家林立，是繁华享乐之地。
[4] 商女：卖唱的歌女。
[5] 《后庭花》：《玉树后庭花》，相传为南朝陈后主所作，被视为亡国之音。
Moored on River Qinhuai at Night
Du Mu
Cold water veiled in mist and sand bar in moonlight,
I moor on River Qinhuai near wineshops at night.
The songstress knows not the grief of a captive king,
By riverside she sings the song of parting spring.
《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。
