清平调词
(三首其一)

李白[1]

云想衣裳花想容[2],

春风拂槛[3]露华[4]浓。

若非群玉山[5]头见,

会向瑶台[6]月下逢。

注释:

[1] 李白:唐朝著名诗人,这首诗是写杨贵妃赏花的。写杨贵妃和牡丹花,是人和自然比美;把杨贵妃比为月下仙子,是人和仙相比,把人间比作天上,写出了唐代的开元盛世。

[2] 云想衣裳花想容:此句描写杨贵妃,彩云好像她华丽的衣裳,牡丹花好似她娇美的容颜。

[3] 槛:栏杆。

[4] 露华:露水的光泽。

[5] 群玉山:传说中的仙山。

[6] 瑶台:也称瑶池,传说中神仙居住的地方。

The Beautiful Lady Yang (I)

Li Bai

Her robe is made of cloud, her face of flower made,

Caressed by vernal breeze freshened by morning dew.

Charming as Fairy Queen in her Mountain of Jade,

Or Goddess of the Moon in her palace sky-blue.
