目录

正文

现代汉语译文

正文

浮(fú)云(yún)终(zhōng)日(rì)行(xíng),()游(yóu)子(zi)久(jiǔ)不(bù)至(zhì)。()

现代汉语译文

浮云整天都在飘,远游的人却迟迟不来。

起句用浮云起兴:云一直在动,人一直没有到。两句之间没有明说的关联,靠「终日」和「久」两个时间词对上。

正文

三(sān)夜(yè)频(pín)梦(mèng)君(jūn),()情(qíng)亲(qīn)见(jiàn)君(jūn)意(yì)。()

现代汉语译文

连着三夜都梦见你,梦里的亲近看得出你的心意。

「梦」字直接接上一首。杜甫拿梦里的亲近当证据,说明李白还记着他。

正文

告(gào)归(guī)常(cháng)局(jú)促(cù),()苦(kǔ)道(dào)来(lái)不(bù)易(yì)。()

现代汉语译文

梦里你告辞时也总是局促,一再说来的这一趟不容易。

记的是梦里的神态:急着走,还反复说路难。杜甫记下的不是说了什么话,是那个不舒展的样子。

正文

江(jiāng)湖(hú)多(duō)风(fēng)波(bō),()舟(zhōu)楫(jí)恐(kǒng)失(shī)坠(zhuì)。()

现代汉语译文

江湖上风波多,船恐怕会翻。

字面上说水路,指的是李白的处境。第一首结尾的「水深波浪阔」在这里换了个说法又出现一次。

正文

出(chū)门(mén)搔(sāo)白(bái)首(shǒu),()若(ruò)负(fù)平(píng)生(shēng)志(zhì)。()

现代汉语译文

出门时搔着白头,像是辜负了一生的志向。

「搔白首」是一个动作,用来写李白已经老了。杜甫没直接说他冤,只写他这样出门。

正文

冠(guān)盖(gài)满(mǎn)京(jīng)华(huá),()斯(sī)人(rén)独(dú)憔(qiáo)悴(cuì)。()

现代汉语译文

京城里高冠华盖的人到处都是,只有这个人形容憔悴。

两句是对照:满城做官的都好好的,偏偏李白落到这一步。「满」和「独」承担了这两句的全部。

正文

孰(shú)云(yún)网(wǎng)恢(huī)恢(huī),()将(jiāng)老(lǎo)身(shēn)反(fǎn)累(lèi)。()

现代汉语译文

谁说天网宽疏,到了老年反倒被它困住。

「天网恢恢」是现成的话,杜甫反过来用:疏漏没见到,落到李白身上的是网。

正文

千(qiān)秋(qiū)万(wàn)岁(suì)名(míng),()寂(jì)寞(mò)身(shēn)后(hòu)事(shì)。()

现代汉语译文

千秋万岁的名声是死后的事,寂寞是现在的事。

结尾把名声和眼前的处境摆在一处:名在死后,寂寞在当下。杜甫没有劝李白看开,只把两件并列,然后停住。

赏析 · Commentary

梦里记的是样子 · What the Dream Records Is a Bearing

这一首写梦,写的不是情节。「告归常局促,苦道来不易」记的是李白告辞时的状态——急着走,反复说路难;「出门搔白首」记的是一个搔头的动作。杜甫没有复述梦里说了什么。这两处都是神态和手势,比对话更难编,也更像真的见过。第一首里梦被反复推翻,这一首梦被当作证据用,靠的就是这些细节。

This poem dreams without a plot. What it records is how Li Bai was: hurrying his leave-taking, repeating that the road was hard, scratching his white head at the door. No conversation from the dream is reported. Both details are bearing and gesture, which are harder to invent than dialogue and more like something actually seen. In the first poem the dream is repeatedly cancelled; in this one it is used as evidence, and these details are what make that possible.

「满」与「独」 · Fill and Alone

「冠盖满京华,斯人独憔悴」两句,字面是数量对比:京城里戴冠乘车的人很多,憔悴的只有这一个。杜甫没有说制度不公,也没有点名谁该负责。他只把两个数量摆出来——多到填满京城,少到只剩一人。这首诗里所有对李白遭遇的判断,都压在这两个量词上,没有一个字是议论。

The couplet about caps and canopies is a contrast of quantity: many men with caps and carriages in the capital, one man worn down. Du Fu says nothing about injustice and names no one responsible. He sets two amounts side by side — enough to fill the capital, and a single one. Every judgement the poem makes about what has happened to Li Bai rests on those two quantifiers. Not one word of it is argument.

把现成的话反过来 · Turning a Saying Round

「孰云网恢恢」用的是《老子》「天网恢恢,疏而不失」。原话讲天网宽疏却不会漏掉,是给好人一个保证。杜甫拿它反问:谁说的?李白快老了,反倒被它网住。他没有另造一个说法,把现成的一句调转方向,省掉了所有解释——读者原本就知道那句话的意思,反转的落差自己会出来。

The line about the net of heaven quotes a passage from the Laozi: the net is wide, its mesh loose, yet nothing escapes. The original offers a guarantee to the innocent. Du Fu asks who said so. Li Bai is approaching old age, and he is the one caught. Rather than invent a new formulation, he turns a familiar one around, which removes the need for explanation — the reader already knows what the saying means, and the gap opens by itself.

名与寂寞并列 · Fame Set Beside Loneliness

结尾「千秋万岁名,寂寞身后事」常常被读成安慰:身后有名,眼前不必计较。杜甫没有这么写。他把两件事放在一联里,前一件是将来的,后一件是此刻的,说完就停。他没有说名能抵寂寞,也没有说抵不了。这一联之后诗就结束了,两种读法都留在那里,由读者去接。

The closing couplet is often read as consolation: there will be fame later, so the present does not matter. Du Fu does not write that. He puts two things in one couplet — one belongs to the future, one to this moment — and stops. He does not say fame compensates for the loneliness, and does not say it fails to. The poem ends immediately after, and both readings stay available to whoever takes it up.
