226. 秋夜寄邱员外（韦应物）
正文
现代汉语译文
正文
怀君属秋夜，散步咏凉天。
现代汉语译文
在这个秋夜想起你，我一边散步，一边吟咏清凉的夜色。
“属”是适逢、正值。怀人没有停留在室内，诗人边走边吟，思念随着秋夜展开。
正文
空山松子落，幽人应未眠。
现代汉语译文
空山里松子正落下来，那位幽居的朋友想必也还没有入睡。
诗人未必亲耳听见友人山中的松子落声，而是由自己的秋夜推想远方。一个“应”字说明后两句带有想象。
赏析 · Commentary
两个人共享一个秋夜 · Two People Sharing One Autumn Night
前两句写诗人所在之处，后两句转到邱员外居住的空山。两地没有直接联系，秋凉和未眠把它们接在一起。诗人没有说对方也在想自己，只推测他还醒着。这份克制使友情更可信：所能确定的只是自己怀人，远方的情形留在想象中。
The first couplet stays with the poet; the second moves to the empty mountains where Qiu lives. No road visibly joins the two places, but autumn coolness and wakefulness do. The poet does not claim that his friend is thinking of him in return, only imagines that he too remains awake. The restraint makes the friendship convincing: his own remembrance is certain, the distant scene only imagined.
松子落下的声音有多轻 · The Faint Sound of Falling Pine Seeds
松子落地本来声音很轻，只有环境极静时才可能听见。诗把它放进“空山”，让寂静有了尺度。末句再写未眠，便能解释为什么这样细微的声音会进入想象：夜深、人醒着、山中无事，任何一点动静都格外清楚。
A pine seed makes little sound when it falls and can be heard only in deep quiet. Placing it in empty mountains gives stillness a measure. The final line's wakefulness then explains why so slight a sound enters the imagination: late night, an alert listener, and an undisturbed mountain make every small movement distinct.
