揚(yáng)州慢·淮左名都

，河水碧綠凄冷，天色漸晚，城中響起凄涼的號(hào)角。我內(nèi)心悲涼，感慨于揚(yáng)州城今昔的變化，于是自創(chuàng)了這支曲子。千巖老人認(rèn)為這首詞有《黍離》的悲涼意蘊(yùn)。

揚(yáng)州是淮河?xùn)|邊著名的大都

，在竹西亭美好的住處，解下馬鞍少為停留，這是最初的路程。過(guò)去是十里春風(fēng)一派繁榮景色，現(xiàn)在卻長(zhǎng)滿及彩葉草一片青青。自從金兵進(jìn)犯長(zhǎng)江回去以后，荒廢了池苑，伐去了喬木，至今還討厭說(shuō)起舊日用兵。天氣漸漸進(jìn)入黃昏，凄涼的畫角吹起了冷寒，這都是在劫后的揚(yáng)州城。

杜牧有卓越的鑒賞

，料想今天，重來(lái)此地一定吃驚。即使“豆蔻”詞語(yǔ)精工，青樓美夢(mèng)的詩(shī)意很好，也困難表達(dá)出深厚的感情。二十四橋仍然還在，卻橋下江中的波浪浩蕩，凄冷的月色，處處寂靜無(wú)聲。懷念橋邊的紅芍藥，可每一年知道它替什么人開(kāi)花繁生！

英譯

To the Tune of Yang Zhou Man

At the famous city east of Huaihe River

And west of a stretch of bamboo

(Where the first stage of my journey ends),

I dismount to rest.

As I walk along the road

Once bathed in a reach of vernal breezes

I see green field cress on all sides.

Since Tartar cavalry pressed upon the Yangtze

The city with abandoned moat and towering trees

Still hates all mention of the war.

As evening sets in, in the empty city

Chilly horns are echoing.

If Du Mu the connoisseur of bygone beauty

Returned to life, hed lament the lost glory.

His magic pen that described a cardamom-like girl

And dream-like time in blue mansions

Can no more tell a romantic story.

The twenty-four bridges,

Upon which fairies once played their flutes,

Are still there;

And below, in ripples the silent moon glows.

But, oh, for whom the red peonies by the bridges

Bloom every spring?

Who knows?

Who knows?
