249. 九月九日忆山东兄弟（王维）
正文
现代汉语译文
正文
独在异乡为异客，每逢佳节倍思亲。
现代汉语译文
独自住在他乡，成了外地的客人；每逢节日，对亲人的思念就格外深。
两个“异”字强调身处陌生地方，两个“每、倍”字把一次节日的心情写成反复发生的经验。诗人不是平日不思念，而是节日使离散格外明显。
正文
遥知兄弟登高处，遍插茱萸少一人。
现代汉语译文
我在远方想到，兄弟们今天一定正在登高；大家都插着茱萸，却发现少了我一个人。
重阳有登高、佩插茱萸的习俗。诗人不直接写自己如何想家，而是设想家人聚会时发现他缺席，从对方的视角写自己的思念。
赏析 · Commentary
“山东”不是今天的山东省 · East of the Mountains Is Not Modern Shandong Province
题目中的“山东”按王维当时的行踪和家乡位置，通常理解为华山以东的蒲州一带，不是今天的山东省。知道这个地理背景，可以避免把题目读成跨越现代省界的旅行记录。诗的重点仍很简单：年轻的王维客居长安，在重阳想到故乡亲人。
In the title, east of the mountains is generally understood as the area of Puzhou east of Mount Hua, where Wang Wei's family home lay, not the modern province of Shandong. This geography prevents the title from being mistaken for a journey across present-day provincial borders. The poem's situation remains simple: a young Wang Wei, away in Chang'an, thinks of his family on the Double Ninth.
从缺席者写团聚 · A Family Gathering Seen Through an Absence
后两句没有写书信，也没有写归路，只写重阳活动中“少一人”。兄弟们都在，茱萸也插遍了，完整的仪式恰好显出一个空位。诗人把自己的缺席放进家人的场景里，思念于是成为双方的：他在远方想家，也想象家人正在想他。
The last two lines mention neither letters nor a road home, only one person missing from the Double Ninth observance. The brothers are present and the dogwood is worn; the apparent completeness of the ritual exposes an empty place. By inserting his absence into the family's scene, the poet makes longing mutual: he thinks of home from afar and imagines home thinking of him.
