桂魄初生秋露微，轻罗已薄未更衣。
现代汉语译文
月亮刚刚升起，秋露还很轻微；身上的轻罗衣衫已经显得单薄，却还没有换上更厚的衣服。
“桂魄”指月亮，传说月中有桂树，故以“桂魄”称月；“初生”写月刚升起。“秋露微”写夜里秋露初降、尚不浓重。“轻罗”是轻薄的丝织夏衣；“已薄”说衣衫已挡不住夜凉；“未更衣”写她迟迟不去换衣，心不在衣上。两句写秋夜的凉意和人的出神。（此诗《唐诗三百首》署王维，chinese-poetry 数据集归王涯，作者归属有异说。）

银筝夜久殷勤弄，心怯空房不忍归。
现代汉语译文
夜深了，她还不停地、反复地拨弄着银筝；心里害怕独自回到空房，竟不忍就此归去。
“银筝”是装饰华美的筝；“夜久”写夜已深；“殷勤弄”写反复弹奏、一再拨弄，借乐声排遣长夜。“心怯空房”点出她的处境与心事：怕的是独守空房；“不忍归”与上句“殷勤弄”相承——不是爱弹，而是不敢停、不愿回。四句由外景写到内心。
赏析 · Commentary
凉意一层层逼来 · The Chill Presses In, Layer by Layer
诗从月升、露起写起，再写罗衣太薄、尚未添衣。天气一层层转凉，人却浑然不觉，说明她心里想的是别的事。到“心怯空房”四字，才把这个“别的事”点破：她怕的不是秋凉，是独处。
The poem begins with the rising moon and the first dew, then the silk dress too thin and the coat not yet added. The weather cools layer by layer and she does not notice, which shows her mind is on something else. Only with the words her heart dreads the empty room does that something break through: what she fears is not the autumn chill but being alone.
借弹筝拖延回房 · Playing On to Put Off Going In
夜深了还在弹筝，表面是专心音乐，实则是借它留住自己。她不是不愿回房，而是怕那间空房。诗人把这一层心理写得极细：弹得越殷勤，越说明她不敢停手。
She plays late into the night, seemingly absorbed in music, but really using it to hold herself there. It is not that she will not go back, but that she dreads that empty room. The poet renders this psychology with great fineness: the more earnestly she plays, the more it shows she dares not stop.
