第10章 韩翃

韩翃(?~785?),字君平,南阳(今属河南)人,唐代诗人。天宝十三年(754)进士。肃宗宝应元年为淄青节度使幕府从事。后闲居长安十年。大历后期,先后入汴宋、宣武节度使幕府为从事。建中初,德宗赏识其“春城无处不飞花”一诗,任驾部郎中,知制诰,官终中书舍人。

他为“大历十才子”之一。其诗多送行赠别之作,善写离人旅途景色,发调警拔,节奏琅然,但乏情思,亦无深致。

酬程延秋夜即事见赠

长簟迎风早,空城澹月华。

星河秋一雁,砧杵夜千家。

节候看应晚,心期卧已赊。

向来吟秀句,不觉已鸣鸦。

An Autumn Evening

Harmonizing Cheng’s Poem

While a cold wind is creeping under my mat,

And the city’s naked wall grows pale with the autumn moon,

I see a lone wild-goose crossing the River of Stars,

And I hear,on stone in the night,thousands of washing mallets...

But,instead of wishing the season,as it goes,

To bear me also far away,

I have found your poem so beautiful

That I forget the homing birds.
