302. 清平调（三首之一）（李白）
正文
现代汉语译文
正文
云想衣裳花想容，春风拂槛露华浓。
现代汉语译文
看见云，就想到她的衣裳；看见花，就想到她的容貌；春风轻拂栏杆，带露的花显得格外浓艳。
“想”是令人联想到、仿佛是。“云想衣裳”写她衣着如云霞之轻，“花想容”写她容貌如花之艳。两句以云、花、春风、露华烘托美人，不直接描摹其五官。“槛”是栏杆；“露华浓”写沾露的花朵浓艳欲滴，也暗点她承恩正盛。
正文
若非群玉山头见，会向瑶台月下逢。
现代汉语译文
如果不是在群玉山头见过她，那就一定是在瑶台的月光下与她相逢。
“群玉山”是神话中西王母所居的仙山。“瑶台”也是传说中神仙居处。“若非……会向……”是假设句式：这样的人物，只该在仙山瑶台见到。“见”“逢”都指遇见她。两句把美人推入仙境，赞其美非人间所有，是奉承玄宗宠妃（杨贵妃）的溢美之词。

借云与花写美人 · A Beauty Seen Through Clouds and Flowers
起句“云想衣裳花想容”把衣裳与云、容貌与花相映照：见云如见其衣，见花如见其容。读者沿着这两重联想自行补足人物，比直说“美若天仙”更有余味。春风、露华再加一层，人也就在花光云影里立起来了。
The opening line matches her dress with clouds and her face with flowers: to see clouds is to see her dress, and to see flowers is to see her face. The reader completes the figure through these paired associations, which leaves more resonance than simply calling her divine. Spring wind and dew add another layer, and there she stands amid flower-light and cloud-shadow.
把人写成仙人 · Turning a Person into an Immortal
后两句用群玉山、瑶台两处仙境作比：这样的人物，人间怎会有？只有仙山瑶台才配得上。清平调三首都是应制之作，专为赞美杨贵妃而写。夸得越出尘，越见其歌功颂德的用心。
The closing couplet compares her to two fairylands, Qunyu Mountain and the Yaotai: how could such a person be of the human world? Only an immortal mountain or Jade Terrace could suit her. All three Qingping Melodies were occasional poems written to order, meant to praise Yang Guifei. The more otherworldly the praise, the plainer the intent to flatter.
