月落乌啼霜满天，江枫渔火对愁眠。
现代汉语译文
月亮落下，乌鸦啼叫，寒霜仿佛弥漫整个夜空；江边的枫树与渔船上的灯火，面对着满怀愁绪、难以入睡的我。
“霜满天”不是说霜真的布满天空，而是深夜寒气逼人，仿佛充塞天地。“对愁眠”指诗人带着愁绪躺下，面对江枫与渔火，久久不能入睡。

姑苏城外寒山寺，夜半钟声到客船。
现代汉语译文
姑苏（今苏州）城外就是寒山寺，半夜时分，寺里的钟声传到了我停泊的客船上。
“姑苏”是苏州的旧称；“寒山寺”因唐代僧人寒山曾居于此而得名。夜半钟声在静夜中格外清晰，越过水面传到客船，也把难以成眠的愁绪放大。

一幅由声音组成的夜景 · A Night Scene Built from Sounds
落月、啼乌、寒霜、江枫、渔火、钟声，几乎每一样都带着声音或冷意。诗人没有说明自己为何发愁，只把旅夜中可闻可见的景物依次摆开，它们却共同指向一个睡不着的人。到末句钟声传来，外面的寂静与内心的不平静同时抵达船上。
Setting moon, crying crow, frost, river maples, fishing lights, temple bell—almost every element carries sound or cold. The poet never explains his sorrow. He simply sets out, one after another, the things that can be heard and seen on a night of travel, and together they point to one person who cannot sleep. When the bell arrives in the closing line, the stillness outside and the unrest within reach the boat at the same moment.
钟声为什么落在半夜 · Why the Bell Comes at Midnight
寒山寺的钟声在诗里不只是报时。夜深人静，声音传得远，客船又停在水边，于是一记钟响同时告诉读者三件事：夜已经很深，寺离此地不远，船上的人还醒着。景物没有变化，愁绪却在钟声里被听见。
The temple bell is more than a time signal. At dead of night sound travels far, and the boat lies at the water's edge, so a single stroke tells the reader three things at once: the hour is late, the temple stands within hearing, and the traveler is still awake. Nothing in the scenery changes, yet the sorrow becomes audible in the bell.
