正文

现代汉语译文

道（dào）由（yóu）白（bái）云（yún）尽（jìn），（）春（chūn）与（yǔ）青（qīng）溪（xī）长（zhǎng）。（）

山路到白云的尽头为止，春色随着青溪一直延伸下去。

「尽」与「长」相对：路有尽头，春没有。两句都在写「深」，一在高度，一在长度。

时（shí）有（yǒu）落（luò）花（huā）至（zhì），（）远（yuǎn）随（suí）流（liú）水（shuǐ）香（xiāng）。（）

不时有落花飘来，花香随着流水远远飘去。

「时有」是断断续续，落花不是一次来的。「远随」写花香随流水远送，比落花走得更远。

闲（xián）门（mén）向（xiàng）山（shān）路（lù），（）深（shēn）柳（liǔ）读（dú）书（shū）堂（táng）。（）

闲静的门口正对着山路，柳树深处就是读书的堂屋。

读者从外往里走，先见门，后见堂。「深柳读书堂」是地点倒装：本可说「读书堂在深柳中」，这里先写深柳，再点出堂屋。全诗至此才出现「读书」二字，点出主人的身份。

幽（yōu）映（yìng）每（měi）白（bái）日（rì），（）清（qīng）辉（huī）照（zhào）衣（yī）裳（shang）。（）

幽深的树影在白日里也是幽暗的，清凉的光辉照着衣裳。

「幽映」是树荫遮挡出的暗处。「清辉」指透过叶隙的一点光。一暗一亮，写的是同一种环境。

没有主人的主人 · A Host Who Never Appears

这首诗题作「阙题」，题目缺失，反而成了它的好处——读者不知道主人是谁，只能跟着诗往里走。四联的次序是一条路径：沿云走到路的尽头，顺着青溪往深里进，看见落花和流水，再看见门和读书堂，最后停在衣裳上的光斑里。人始终没有出现，地方却被写清楚了。空缺的主人反倒让这处园子更完整。

The title is missing, and that works in the poem's favour: not knowing who the host is, the reader simply walks in. The four couplets are a route — along the clouds to the road's end, deeper by the green stream, then falling petals and flowing water, then a gate and a reading hall, and at last the patches of light on a coat. No person appears, and the place is made clear. The absent host leaves the garden more complete.

先写看不见的，再写看得见的 · The Unseen First, Then the Seen

前三句全是动态的、在路上的：白云尽头、青溪边长、落花随水。到第四句才停下，出现两处建筑。刘眘虚把这个次序安排得很稳——先让人跟着走，再让人站住。如果先写门和堂，全诗就成了一张平面图；先写路，诗才有纵深。写园林、写山居的诗，多半都在这个次序上见高下。

The first three lines are all in motion, on the way: the cloud's end, the long green stream, petals on the water. Only the fourth line stops, producing two buildings. Liu Shenxu keeps the order steady — first one walks, then one stands. Had the gate and hall come first, the poem would be a floor plan; putting the path first gives it depth. Poems about gardens and mountain dwellings are usually judged on exactly this sequencing.

「幽映」和「清辉」写的是一件事 · "Deep Shade" and "Clear Radiance" Are One Thing

末联两句看似一暗一亮，其实都在写树荫。光斑之所以清楚，是因为周围暗；衣裳之所以被照到，是因为叶子留了缝。刘眘虚用一对反义词写完同一个环境，比单写「树很密」有效得多。这也是唐诗常用的方式：不做全面描写，只挑两个能互相解释的细节。

The last couplet seems to be one dark and one bright, and both are about shade. The patches of light are clear because all around is dark; the coat is lit because the leaves leave gaps. Liu Shenxu finishes one environment with a pair of opposites, which does more than saying "the trees are thick." Tang verse often works this way: no full description, just two details that explain each other.
