133. 云阳馆与韩绅宿别（司空曙）
正文
现代汉语译文
正文
故人江海别，几度隔山川。
现代汉语译文
老朋友在江海之间分别，多少次隔着重山远水。
「江海别」是广阔之地的分别，「几度」是不知道多少次。两句写分别之久，为下文的骤见铺垫。
正文
乍见翻疑梦，相悲各问年。
现代汉语译文
猛然相见，反倒怀疑是在做梦；相对悲叹，各自问起年纪。
「乍见翻疑梦」与戴叔伦「翻疑梦里逢」同调，是这类重逢诗的共同语汇。「各问年」写得很实：多年不见，先问岁数。
正文
孤灯寒照雨，深竹暗浮烟。
现代汉语译文
一盏孤灯冷冷地照着雨，深密的竹林暗地里浮起烟雾。
两句纯写景，是全诗的呼吸处。灯、雨、竹、烟四样，都是暗的、湿的、冷的。
正文
更有明朝恨，离杯惜共传。
现代汉语译文
更有明朝分别的怅恨，所以珍惜地把离别之杯相互传递。
「更有」是况且还有，表示更进一层。「离杯惜共传」写的是劝酒的样子，一个「惜」字把动作放慢了。
赏析 · Commentary
中间那两句景物是留白 · The Two Scene Lines as Breathing Space
「孤灯寒照雨，深竹暗浮烟」在情节上没有推进任何东西，但它是这首诗必需的一段。前两联写十年的分别和乍见的惊疑，情绪已经满了；第三联把镜头推到窗外，让读者跟着看一眼夜色，第四联再回到眼前。唐诗写重逢，常需要这样一段缓冲，否则整首诗会憋在情绪里出不来。
"A lone lamp coldly lighting rain, deep bamboo dimly raising mist" advances no plot and is a necessary passage. Two couplets of ten years apart and the shock of sudden meeting have filled the feeling; the third pushes the camera past the window to let the reader look at the night, and the fourth returns. Tang reunions usually need such a buffer, or the poem stays pent up in its own emotion.
「各问年」比「相拥而泣」更真 · "Asking Each Other's Age" Truer Than Weeping
久别重逢最动人的往往不是戏剧性的动作，而是这类小问题。司空曙不写拥抱不写痛哭，只写两人互相问年纪——因为十年过去，最直接的变化就是岁数。这一问里含着比较：你比我老了多少，我比你老了多少，还有暗中盘算的余生。一句家常话，留下的东西比抒情句多。
What moves in a reunion is often not a dramatic gesture but a small question. Sikong Shu writes no embrace and no sobbing, only the two asking each other's age — because after ten years the plainest change is the years. A comparison sits in the question: how much older are you than I, how much older am I, and behind it a silent estimate of what is left. One ordinary question leaves more than a lyrical line.
末联的「惜」 · "Care" in the Last Couplet
「离杯惜共传」是全诗唯一写动作的收尾。两个人把酒杯传来传去，这个动作本身没有信息量，但配上「惜」字，意思就是：还想再拖延一会儿。司空曙没有写他们说了什么，只写杯子在手里传递，等于把「不愿散席」写成了一个可以看见的动作。
"Passing the parting cup with care" is the only gesture at the close. Two men handing a cup back and forth carries no information by itself, but with "care" it means they want to put off the end a little longer. Sikong Shu does not report what they said, only the cup moving between hands, turning the wish not to break up into something visible.
