257. 江南逢李龟年（杜甫）
正文
现代汉语译文
正文
岐王宅里寻常见，崔九堂前几度闻。
现代汉语译文
当年在岐王府中常常见到你，也曾多次在崔九堂前听你歌唱。
李龟年是盛唐著名乐工。“岐王”“崔九”指当时贵族名流的府第；“寻常见”“几度闻”写相见听歌曾是繁华生活里习以为常的事。
正文
正是江南好风景，落花时节又逢君。
现代汉语译文
如今正值江南风景明丽的时节，却在暮春花落之际再次遇见了你。
“落花时节”首先是江南暮春实景，也容易让人想到盛世消逝和人生飘零。诗没有明说战乱与衰败，只把昔日宫廷乐师和诗人放在异乡落花中重逢。
赏析 · Commentary
两次相逢之间发生了什么 · What Happened Between the Two Meetings
前两句属于盛唐长安，后两句已到多年后的江南。诗没有填满中间的历史，但读者知道安史之乱改变了人的去处：王府歌席不再，诗人和乐工都流落南方。“又逢君”表面平静，真正的感慨来自两个场景无法再接回原样。
The first couplet belongs to High Tang Chang'an; the second to Jiangnan many years later. The poem does not fill in the history between them, yet the An Lushan upheaval has altered where everyone stands. The princely performances are gone, and poet and musician have both drifted south. I meet you again sounds calm, but its force comes from knowing that the two scenes can never be joined as before.
“好风景”为什么不只是赞美 · Why Lovely Scenery Is Not Simple Praise
江南确实风景好，暮春也确实有落花，所以后两句并非反话。但美景没有消除故人重逢时的沧桑，反而使它更明显：自然仍按季节盛衰，人世的繁华却不能照样回来。杜甫不加评语，让“好”与“落”在一句中彼此牵制。
Jiangnan is genuinely beautiful, and late spring genuinely brings falling flowers, so the lines are not ironic in any simple sense. Beauty does not erase the history visible in the reunion; it sharpens it. Nature continues through its seasons, while a human world of splendor cannot be restored in the same way. Du Fu adds no verdict, allowing lovely and falling to qualify each other.
