236. 渡汉江(李频)
正文
现代汉语译文
正文
岭外音书绝,经冬复历春。
现代汉语译文
身在岭南时与家乡断绝了书信消息,熬过一个冬天,又经历了一个春天。
“岭外”指五岭以南。“音书绝”不只是没有收到一封信,而是长期失去故乡消息。
正文
近乡情更怯,不敢问来人。
现代汉语译文
越接近故乡,心里反而越胆怯,连遇到从家乡方向来的人也不敢询问。
久无消息使归乡同时包含期待和恐惧。不是不想知道,而是害怕问出的消息与想象不同。
赏析 · Commentary
归乡为什么反而害怕 · Why Coming Home Produces Fear
远离故乡时,思念可以依靠记忆维持;真正接近时,一切都将接受现实检验。亲人是否平安,家园是否如旧,过去很久的自己还能否回去,这些问题都可能在一句问话后得到答案。诗人不敢问,写的正是答案出现以前那段最紧张的距离。
Far from home, longing can be sustained by memory. Near home, memory is about to be tested by reality. Are relatives safe, is the household unchanged, can the person who left still return to the same life? One question might answer all of these. The speaker's silence captures the most tense distance: close enough to know, not yet ready to hear.
作者归属存在争议 · A Disputed Attribution
《唐诗三百首》的部分传统版本把此诗题在李频名下,许多其他文献则题作宋之问《渡汉江》或《汉江》。本站目录沿用当前底本作李频,同时保留异说。作者不同会影响身世背景的解释,因此页面不把“岭外”强行落实为某一次确定的贬谪经历,只按诗句本身说明久居岭南、归乡近切的感受。
Some traditional editions of Three Hundred Tang Poems attribute this poem to Li Pin, while many other sources give it to Song Zhiwen under Crossing the Han River or Han River. This site follows its present base text and lists Li Pin, while preserving the alternative. Because attribution changes the biographical context, the note does not force beyond the ranges into one specific exile narrative; it stays with the poem's prolonged southern absence and anxious return.
