本詞歌詠春天,洋溢著珍惜青春和熱愛生活的情感。上片寫初春的風(fēng)景。起句“東城漸覺風(fēng)光好”,以敘述的語氣緩緩寫來,表面上似不經(jīng)意,但“好”字已壓抑不住對春天的贊美之情。
《玉樓春》 宋祁
東城漸覺風(fēng)光好,
縠皺波紋迎客棹。
綠楊煙外曉寒輕,
紅杏枝頭春意鬧。
浮生長恨歡娛少,
肯愛千金輕一笑?
為君持酒勸斜陽,
且向花間留晚照。
The Apricot Blossoms
Song Qi
The view in the east city come by degrees to be fair,
When the silken ripples embrace my wandering oar.
Beside the misty green willows the morning chill is light.
On the apricot blossoms, the spirit of spring has burst forth a glorious sight.
In my floating life I oft regret having little joy,
Should I value a thousand pieces of gold above a sweet smile?
For you I hold my cup and exhort the setting sun,
To tarry yet upon the flowers with its evening glow.
