清晨帘幕卷轻霜,呵手试梅妆。都缘自有离恨,故画作远山长。
现代汉语译文
清晨卷起帘幕,只见薄霜;呵暖双手,试着画上梅花妆。心中本来就有离别的愁恨,所以把眉画得像远山一样悠长。
正文
思往事,惜流芳,易成伤。拟歌先敛,欲笑还颦,最断人肠。
现代汉语译文
回想往事,惋惜美好时光流逝,很容易便生出伤感。想唱歌时先收住神情,想露出笑容却又皱起眉头,这种欲歌欲笑、终究难以排遣的样子最令人心碎。
词句注释 · Notes
上片 · First stanza
“梅妆”是以梅花为饰的妆容典故;“远山”在词中又形容修长的眉。妆饰和眉形把内心离恨落到具体动作上,词里没有交代离别缘由。
“Plum-blossom makeup” alludes to a traditional style of adornment, while “distant hills” describes long, graceful brows. The act of dressing gives visible form to sorrow, though the cause of separation is left unstated.
下片 · Second stanza
下片连续写“拟歌”“欲笑”又收敛、皱眉,情绪在强作轻松与难抑愁苦间摇摆。“流芳”兼指美好时光与青春,不必限定为某一件往事。
The stanza shows an unsettled face: she intends to sing or smile, but grief interrupts each gesture. “Passing fragrance” can suggest both a lovely season and youth; the poem does not tie it to one particular memory.
