《隔汉江寄子安》是唐代女诗人鱼玄机的作品。此诗写相思之情。首联写两人相互愁望,相互思念;颔联写作者看着鸳鸯和鸂鶒成双成对,满眼羡慕。颈联写诗人一天到晚望着渡头等待心上人的情状;末二句写虽然远隔千里,但两颗心贴得很近。全诗写得幽绵悱恻,凄婉感人。
鱼玄机·《隔汉江寄子安》
江南江北愁望,相思相忆空吟。
鸳鸯暖卧沙浦,鸂鶒闲飞橘林。
烟里歌声隐隐,渡头月色沈沈。
含情咫尺千里,况听家家远砧。
To My Love across the River
Yu Xuanji
Wistfully I gaze
o’er the river,
north and south;
empty songs of longing
echo memories.
Mandarin ducks laze cozily
by the sandy beach;
water birds wing lazily
through an orange grove.
In the mist
the voice of song
is hidden subtly;
at the ford
the light of the moon
sinks deep into the waves.
I’m full of emotion
so near to you
and yet so far away,
harder to bear
whenever I hear
the distant songs of families
on their laundry day.
