219. 静夜思（李白）
正文
现代汉语译文
正文
床前明月光，疑是地上霜。
现代汉语译文
月光照到床前，洁白明亮，一时让人疑心地上结了霜。
“疑”写刚从朦胧中辨认景物的瞬间。月光和霜都呈白色，但霜还带来秋夜的寒意。
正文
举头望明月，低头思故乡。
现代汉语译文
抬头望见明月，又低下头思念起故乡。
两个动作一抬一低，感情也随之转折。月亮是眼前所见，故乡不在眼前，却由同一轮月引出。
赏析 · Commentary
动作简单，转折完整 · Simple Motions, a Complete Turn
诗里没有交代旅馆、季节或离家多久，只留下辨认月光、抬头、低头三个动作。前两句从误认到看清，后两句从看月转到想家，过程没有跳步。故乡之思来得自然，因为它不是先被说出，而是由眼前月色一步步带出来。
The poem tells us neither where the traveler stays, what precise season it is, nor how long he has been away. It keeps only three actions: mistaking the light, raising the head, lowering it. The first couplet moves from uncertainty to recognition; the second from moon to home. Longing feels natural because it is not announced in advance but reached step by step through what the eyes see.

本站采用《唐诗三百首》中流传最广的“床前明月光”“举头望明月”。较早的李白集系统多见“床前看月光”“举头望山月”，《全唐诗》等文本也保留交叉形态。不同版本都指向同一组动作和情绪。页面采用通行本，是为了符合多数读者的阅读记忆，并不把其他文本判作错误。
This site uses the widely familiar Three Hundred Tang Poems wording: bright moonlight before the bed and gaze at the bright moon. Earlier editions in the Li Bai collection often read look at the moonlight and gaze at the mountain moon, while other compilations preserve mixed forms. All lead through the same actions and emotion. The familiar text is used for readers' recognition, not to declare the alternatives wrong.
