蝶恋花
柳永
伫倚危楼风细细,
望极春愁,
黯黯生天际。
草色烟光残照里,
无言谁会凭阑意。
拟把疏狂图一醉,
对酒当歌,
强乐还无味。
衣带渐宽终不悔,
为伊消得人憔悴。
Butterflies in Love with Flowers
Translated by Xu Yuanchong
I lean alone on balcony in light,light breeze;
As far as the eyes see,
On the horizon dark parting grief grows unseen.
In fading sunlight rises smoke over grass green.
Who understands why mutely on the rails I lean?
I'd drown in wine my parting grief:
Chanting before the cup,strained mirth brings no relief.
I find my gown too large,but I will not regret;
It's worthwhile growing languid for my coquette.
【赏析】
这是一首怀人之作。词人把漂泊异乡的落魄感受,同怀念意中人的缠绵情思结合在一起写,采用“曲径通幽”的表现方式,抒情写景,感情真挚。这首词妙紧拓“春愁”即“相思”,却又迟迟不肯说破,只是从字里行间向读者透露出一些消息,眼看要写到了,却又煞住,调转笔墨,如此影影绰绰,扑朔迷离,千回百折,直到最后一句,才使真相大白。在词的最后两句相思感情达到高潮的时候,戛然而止,激情回荡,又具有很强的感染力。
