忆江南[1]

江南好,

风景旧曾谙[2]。

日出江花红胜火,

春来江水绿如蓝。

能不忆江南?

公元822—826年,白居易先后任杭州、苏州刺史。回洛阳12年后(838),在67岁时,他写了三首《忆江南》词,这里选的是第一首。词一开头就说江南好,所以最后说不能不回忆。江南好并不是听人说,而是当年亲身感受到、体验过的。春来百花盛开,已极红艳,红日普照,更是红得耀眼;春江水绿,绿得胜过蓝草(蓝草叶子可制青绿染料)。由此可以看出白居易对大好河山的热爱。

注释:

[1]忆江南:本为唐代教坊曲名,后用作词牌名。

[2]谙(ān):熟悉。

Fair South Recalled

Fair Southern shore

With scenes I much adore,

At sunrise riverside flowers more red than fire,

In spring green river waves grow as blue as sapphire,

Which I can’t but admire.
