小编导读:白居易的这首《长相思》,写一位女子倚楼怀人。在朦胧的月色下,映入她眼帘的山容水态,都充满了哀愁。前三句用三个“流”字,写出水的蜿蜒曲折,也酿造成低徊缠绵的情韵。下面用两个“悠悠”,更增添了愁思的绵长。全词以“恨”写“爱”,用浅易流畅的语言,和谐的音律,表现人物的复杂感情。特别是那一派流泻的月光,更烘托出哀怨忧伤的气氛,增强了艺术感染力,显示出这首小词言简意富、词浅味深的特点。

《长相思》 白居易

汴水流,泗水流,流到瓜洲古渡头,吴山点点愁。
思悠悠,恨悠悠,恨到归时方始休,月明人倚楼。

Everlasting Longing
Bai Juyi

See Northern river flow,
And Western river flow!
By Melon Islet, mingling waves, they go.
The Southern hills dotted with woe.

O how can I forget?
How can I not regret?
My deep sorrow will last till with you I have met,
Waiting from moonrise to moonset.
