Now, tracing your way as in a dream
There where the sea floats up the sky,
You wane from the world in your fragile boat....
The water and the moon are as calm as your faith,
Fishes and dragons follow your chanting,
And the eye still watches beyond the horizon
The holy light of your single lantern.
【Writing in Vernacular Chinese】 只要有机缘,随时都可以到中国来;
一路雾霭茫茫,船只象在梦中航行。
天海浮沉,小船驶去那遥远的边际;
超脱世俗,自然会感受到法舟轻盈。
心境凝定清寂,一切都如水月虚幻;
海内鱼龙,也会出来听你诵经之声。
最可爱的是,有盏照亮心田的佛灯;
航行万里,眼中永远都是灿烂光明。
【Notes】 1. 上国:这里指中国。
2. 随缘:佛家语,随其机缘。
3. 来途:指从日本来中国。
4. 浮天:形容海面宽广,天好像浮在海上。
5. 去世:离开尘世,这里指离开中国。
6. 水月:佛教用语,比喻僧品格清美,一切象水中月那样虚幻。
7. 法舟轻:意为因佛法高明,乘船归国,将会一路顺利。

10. 灯:双关,以舟灯喻禅灯。
【Review】 这是赠给日本僧人一首别具一格的送别诗,由于被送的是归日本的和尚,所以充满宗教色彩。前两句不写送归,而写来处三、四句才暗示归途邈远。后半首不明写送归,而写海上景物,这就拓宽诗境,不受内容拘泥,使较窄的题目,能有丰富的内容,成为好的诗篇。诗中多用了“随缘”、“法舟”、“禅寂”、“水月”、“梵声”等佛家术语,紧扣送僧的主题,寄寓颂扬的情意。词句清丽,音韵和谐。诗中句句运用佛家术语,为一大特色。
Where a cloud seems born from a viney wall,
You will love the bamboos new with rain,
And mountains tender in the sunset.
Cranes drift early here to rest
And autumn flowers are slow to fade....
I have bidden my pupil to sweep the grassy path
For the coming of my friend.
【Writing in Vernacular Chinese】 山泉沟壑萦绕着这座茅屋书斋,
云霞映衬墙头薜荔象五彩幔帷。
雨后新竹的姿彩多么叫人喜爱,
更可爱晚山映照着夕阳的余辉。
悠闲的白鹭常常早早回巢栖宿,
秋花饱含生机比别处落得更迟。
家仆正辛勤地把萝径打扫干净,
我昨天与老朋友预约会面日期。
【Notes】 1. 谷口:古地名,在今陕西泾阳县西北。
2. 补阙:官名,职责是向皇帝进行规谏。
3. 茅茨:(cí)茅屋。
4. 泉壑:这里指山水。
【Review】 这首诗的最大特点是将水、云、竹、山、鹭、花人格化了,写得极富感情。诗全是写景,句法工整。首联起对,颔联晴雨分写,颈联写花鸟情态,末联写邀约。“竹怜新雨后,山爱夕阳时”也不愧为写景妙句。
这是作者邀请友人到书斋来聚会的诗。诗的大部分篇幅写了书斋及周围的幽美风景。书斋被围绕在谷口的泉壑之间,云霞从书斋外墙的薛帷间升起,可知书斋幽静,书斋所处山中高处。书斋附近,有浓密的竹林,雨后翠竹可喜;傍晚,山光绿紫万状,也十分可赏。白鹭常常很早就栖息了;花在高山中,谢得更迟些。这六句写出了书斋附近的清幽美景。结尾一联则是突出表现诗人的诚意盛情。全诗写景静中有动,幽而不寂,体现了钱起新奇清淡的诗风。
Of the Forbidden City, pale with spring dawn;
Flowers muffle a bell in the Palace of Bliss
And rain has deepened the Dragon Lake willows;
But spring is no help to a man bewildered,
Who would be like a cloud upholding the Light of Heaven,
Yet whose poems, ten years refused, are shaming
These white hairs held by the petalled pin.
【Writing in Vernacular Chinese】 二月时节,上林苑的黄鹂活泼飞鸣;初晓的紫禁城,洒下一片浓浓春阴。
长乐宫的钟声,消失散落花树丛外;春雨中龙池旁的柳色,也更浓更深。
春季阳光和暖,驱散不了穷途之恨;仰望霄汉,常怀程昱梦中捧日之心。
十多年来,我献赋皇上却未得赏识;而今白发苍苍,愧对你华簪裴舍人。
【Notes】 1、上林:上林苑。
2、紫禁:皇宫。
3、长乐:唐宫。
4、霄汉:指高空。
又有:二月黄莺飞上林
【Review】 这首诗是投赠中书舍人裴某的,诗中抒发了自己生不逢时的感慨,目的在于向裴舍人请求援引。诗的前半首写景,写的是皇宫苑囿殿阁的景色,借以烘托裴舍人的身分和地位,受宠得幸,随皇帝行幸上林,临朝紫禁城,在长乐宫草诏,随皇上起居龙池。虽无一字写裴舍人,却句句恭维,不露痕迹。下半首自伤不遇。先说自己生不逢时,"阳和不散穷途恨";再说自有捧日之心,愿为朝廷服务;可是十年献赋,却不遇知音。含蓄婉转,保持身分。"长乐钟声花外尽,龙池柳色雨中深",也是"标雅古今"的名句。
[鉴赏]
这首诗,是写给一个姓裴的舍人。写诗的目的,是为了向裴舍人请求援引。
开头四句,诗人象并不在意求援似的,描画了一幅秾丽的宫苑春景图:早春二月,在上林苑里,黄鹂成群地飞鸣追逐,好一派活跃的春的气氛!紫禁城中更是充满春意,拂晓的时候,在树木葱茏之中,洒下一片淡淡的春阴。长乐宫的钟敲响了,钟声飞过宫墙,飘到空中,又缓缓散落在花树之外。那曾经是玄宗皇帝发祥之地的龙池,千万株春意盎然的杨柳,在细雨之中越发显得苍翠欲滴了。这四句诗,写的都是皇宫苑囿殿阁的景色。
那么,钱起赠诗给裴舍人,为什么要牵扯上这些宫殿苑囿呢?这就须看看舍人的日常活动情况。原来在唐代,皇帝身边的职官,有通事舍人,掌管朝见官员的接纳引见;有起居舍人,记皇帝的言行;还有中书舍人,凡臣下章奏的接纳,皇帝的诏旨的起草,都要通过他的手,军国大事他都有权参加讨论,诏书颁布时,还得由他签字。这些“侍从之臣”每天都要随侍皇帝左右,过问机密大事,其实际权力如何也就可想而知。
不难理解,此诗的开头四句,并不是为写景而写景,他的目的,是在“景语”中烘托出裴舍人的特殊身分地位。由于裴舍人追随御辇,侍从宸居,就有不同于一般官员所见的景色进入他的视听之中。当皇帝行幸到上林苑时,裴舍人看到上林苑的早莺;皇帝在紫禁城临朝时,裴舍人又看见皇城的春阴晓色;裴舍人草诏时,更听到长乐宫舒缓的钟声;而龙池的柳色变化及其在雨中的浓翠,自然也是裴舍人平日所熟知的。四种景物都隐隐约约地使人看到裴舍人的影子。
可见,尽管没有一个字正面提到裴舍人,实则句句都在恭维裴舍人。恭维十足,却又不露痕迹,手法巧妙。
随后诗人笔头一转,就写到请求援引的题旨上:“阳和”句是说,虽有和暖的太阳,毕竟无法使自己的穷途落魄之恨消散。“霄汉”句说,但我仰望天空,我还是时时刻刻赞颂着太阳(指当朝皇帝),意思是自己有一颗为朝廷干事的热心。“献赋”句说,十年来,我不断向朝廷献上文赋(指参加科举考试),可惜都没有得到知音者的赏识。“羞将”句说,如今连头发都变白了,看见插着华簪的贵官,我不能不感到惭愧。意思自然是清楚的,但仍然含蓄,保持了一定的身分。
这首诗,通篇表示了一种恭维、求援之意,却又显得十分隐约曲折,尤其是前四句,虽然是在恭维,由于运用了“景语”,便不觉其庸俗了。由此颇见钱起娴熟的艺术技巧。
