暮江吟

白居易

一道残阳铺水中,

半江瑟瑟[1]半江红。

可怜[2]九月初三夜,

露似真珠[3]月似弓。

注释:

[1] 瑟瑟:原指碧色宝石,此处指江面上,残阳照不到之处的情景。因其为碧色,如碧石,故称瑟瑟。

[2] 可怜:可爱。

[3] 真珠:珍珠。

Sunset and Moonrise on the River

Bai Juyi

The departing sunbeams pave a way on the river;

Half of its waves turn red and the other half shiver.

How I love the third night of the ninth moon aglow!

The dewdrops look like pearls, the crescent like a bow.

This quatrain describes the poet’s love of the beautiful river at sunset and at moonrise.
