正文
猿鸟犹疑畏简书，风云常为护储胥。
现代汉语译文
猿猴飞鸟至今还像在畏惧他森严的军令，风云常年护卫着旧垒的藩篱。
简书是军中文书（《诗经》「畏此简书」）。犹疑、常为都把六百年前的军威写进现在时：禽鸟风云还在执行他的命令。

徒令上将挥神笔，终见降王走传车。
现代汉语译文
白白地让主帅在这里挥动神笔运筹，终究只见到投降之王坐着驿车被押走。
徒令、终见是一场的两头：运筹（神笔）与亡国（传车）在同一地点并置。上将指诸葛亮，降王指后主刘禅。
正文
管乐有才原不忝，关张无命欲何如。
现代汉语译文
论才具，他无愧于管仲、乐毅；可关羽张飞相继殒命，天命如此，又能怎样？
不忝是无愧。这一联把成败分开：才（管乐之才）是够的，命（关张之死）是不济的——与杜甫「运移汉祚」同一分账法。
正文
他年锦里经祠庙，梁父吟成恨有余。
现代汉语译文
他日我经过锦里他的祠庙，一首《梁父吟》吟成，遗憾仍无法消尽。
锦里是成都武侯祠所在。梁父吟是诸葛亮隐居时的曲子。恨有余三字收束：吟成之后，恨不但没消，反而更多。

筹笔驿：一件文物的政治记忆 · The Camp of the Planning Brush: the Political Memory of a Place
筹笔驿在今四川广元，相传诸葛亮北伐时在此驻军筹划军事，因得名「筹笔」——一个地名把一位丞相的一次办公记录保存了七百年。李商隐过此驿时（大中十年随柳仲郢还朝），蜀汉亡国已近六百年，驿站的名字还在行使纪念功能。首联的写法由此有据可依：猿鸟畏简书、风云护储胥，是「筹笔」二字的物化——军令的威严渗进了此地的自然。唐诗里写诸葛亮的名篇都产生在他实际活动过的地理上（杜甫在成都、李商隐在筹笔驿）：地理是咏史的记忆装置。
The Camp of the Planning Brush stands at modern Guangyuan, Sichuan, where Zhuge Liang in his northern campaigns is said to have encamped and drafted his plans — a place name preserving seven hundred years of a chancellor's office work. When Li Shangyin passed it (returning east with Liu Zhongying in 856), Shu Han had been gone nearly six centuries, and the post-station's name still performed its memorial duty. Hence the opening's warrant: apes and birds dreading his orders, wind and cloud guarding his fence — the two characters planning-brush made material, the discipline of his commands seeped into the local nature. The great Tang poems on Zhuge Liang all arise on ground he actually worked (Du Fu at Chengdu, Li Shangyin at this station): geography is the memory-apparatus of poems on the past.
神笔与传车：一联里的两个器物 · The Magic Brush and the Post-Cart: Two Objects in One Couplet
徒令上将挥神笔，终见降王走传车——这两个器物的对照构成全诗的核心讽刺：同一片土地上，丞相挥笔筹划（北伐的脑力），后主坐传车北上（投降的押运）。传车是驿站的车——李商隐自己此刻就坐在这样的车里，他是在一种交通工具上写另一种交通工具的耻辱。挥神笔的神字给筹笔驿的名字加了一层反讽：神笔再神，敌不过后主的昏聩——文书系统的效率再高，也执行不了投降的命令。这对器物后来成为诸葛亮悲剧的标准缩写。
In vain the commander brandished his magic brush; in the end the surrendered king carried off in a post-cart — the two objects frame the poem's central irony: on the same ground, the chancellor wielding his brush (the brainwork of the northern expeditions), the last ruler carted north (the escort of surrender). The post-cart is a relay-station vehicle — Li Shangyin sits in one as he writes of the other, indicting one mode of transport from inside another. The magic of the magic brush turns the station's name ironic: brush however divine cannot outwrite a ruler's folly — however efficient the paperwork, it cannot execute the command to surrender. This pair of objects became the standard shorthand for Zhuge Liang's tragedy.
恨有余：咏史的复利 · The Regret Still Running Over: the Compound Interest of Meditating on the Past
结句的恨有余是复利式的：往年经祠庙吟《梁父吟》时已经生恨（本金），如今到筹笔驿看着降王的路线，恨不减反增（利息）。李商隐一生两次入蜀幕，武侯祠与筹笔驿都到过——诸葛亮对他不是文献是行程。与杜甫的分别在于姿态：杜甫哭（泪满襟），李商隐算（恨有余）——算出来的恨比哭出来的更持久。结句还暗藏一层身世：他自己终生困于牛李党争，才具不被放心使用——吟到「管乐有才」时会走神的人，只有同病者。咏史诗的私人性，全在最后这三个字的走神里。
The regret still ran over is compound: the first grief was generated at the Chengdu shrine years before (the principal); at the station where the surrendered king passed, it accrues (the interest). Li Shangyin served twice in Sichuan and visited both the shrine and the station — Zhuge Liang for him was not literature but itinerary. The difference from Du Fu is stance: Du Fu weeps (wetting his lapels); Li Shangyin reckons (the regret still running over) — and reckoned grief outlasts wept grief. The close carries a private layer too: trapped all his life between the Niu and Li factions, his talents never trusted, he is precisely the man whose mind would wander at the words worthy of Guan Zhong and Yue Yi. The personal in a poem on the past lives entirely in the distraction of those final three characters.
