朝代:宋代
作者:秦观
原文:
纤云弄巧,飞星传恨,银汉迢迢暗度。金风玉露一相逢,便胜却人间无数。(度 通:渡)
柔情似水,佳期如梦,忍顾鹊桥归路。两情若是久长时,又岂在朝朝暮暮。
译文及注释
译文
纤薄的云彩在天空中变幻多端,天上的流星传递着相思的愁怨,遥远无垠的银河今夜我悄悄渡过。在秋风白露的七夕相会,就胜过尘世间那些长相厮守却貌合神离的夫妻。
共诉相思,柔情似水,短暂的相会如梦如幻,分别之时不忍去看那鹊桥路。只要两情至死不渝,又何必贪求卿卿我我的朝欢暮乐呢。

Fairy of the Magpie Bridge
by Qin Guan(1049-1100)
Thin clouds are creating works delicate;
Falling stars carry sorrows deep.
Over the vast, vast Milky Way,
Cowherd and Weaving Girl quietly meet.
Meeting in such a clear and sweet autumn night,
The rendezvous outshines many a worldly date.
Tenderness flows in the soul’s retreat;
Sweet hours melt their hearts away.
The short-lived Magpie Bridge is unbearable to see,
For on the magpie-paved bridge parting comes in haste.
Ah, so long as love keeps,
What differs, missing each other day after day!
