304. 清平调(三首之三)(李白)
正文
现代汉语译文
正文
名花倾国两相欢,常得君王带笑看。
现代汉语译文
名贵的牡丹与倾国的美人两相欢悦,常常能引得君王含笑观看。
“名花”指牡丹;唐玄宗与杨贵妃赏牡丹于沉香亭,李白奉诏作此词。“倾国”用汉武帝时李延年歌“一顾倾人城,再顾倾人国”之典,指绝色美人,这里指杨贵妃。“两相欢”写花与美人彼此增色、相得益彰。“带笑看”写君王看得欢喜。异文:Gutenberg 底本作“常得”,chinese-poetry 数据集或作“长得”,今从读者常见作“常得”。
正文
解释春风无限恨,沉香亭北倚阑干。
现代汉语译文
面对春风,她那无限春愁都被消解了;她斜倚在沉香亭北的栏杆上。
“解释”是消解、解除,不按现代“解说”义理解。“春风无限恨”指春风吹起的无端愁绪。“沉香亭”是用沉香木建的亭子,在唐长安兴庆宫内;“沈香”为其异写,简体通行作“沉香”。“倚阑干”写她倚栏而立,风姿与名花相映。异文:chinese-poetry 数据集或作“解得春风无限恨”,义近。

花与美人相得益彰 · Flower and Beauty Set Each Other Off
前两句把牡丹和杨贵妃并写:花是“名花”,人是“倾国”,两者互相增色,看得君王含笑。诗人没有把重心全放在人身上,而是让花与人并列,既颂美,也颂盛世风光。
The opening couplet writes the peony and Yang Guifei side by side: the flower is famous, the woman city-toppling, each sets off the other, and the sovereign smiles as he watches. The poet does not put all the weight on the woman but lets flower and person stand together, praising both the beauty and the glory of a prosperous age.
“解释”二字怎么解 · How to Read the Word Dissolve
“解释春风无限恨”历来容易误读,此处的“解释”是消解、排遣,不是解释说明。春风吹动,本易生愁;美人在前,愁绪便消。末句落到沉香亭北倚栏的一个人影上,三首诗至此收住,余味悠然。
The line about dissolving the spring wind's boundless grief is easily misread: here to dissolve means to dispel, to clear away, not to explain. The spring wind blows and would stir sadness; with the beauty before him, the sadness clears. The last line settles on a single figure leaning at the rail north of the Chenxiang Pavilion, and there the three lyrics come to rest, with a lingering aftertaste.
