《与梦得沽酒闲饮且约后期》是唐代诗人白居易所作的一首七律。这首诗首联写人生不同时段的感受;颔联、颈联明写“醉听清吟”对饮的乐趣,暗含对政治上遭冷遇的不满;尾联紧扣题意,作者把眼前的聚会引向未来,把友情和诗意推向高峰。尾句的“一醉一陶然”,既表达了作者对挚友的深情厚谊,又表现出作者在现实面前的哀伤和愁苦。全诗言简意赅,语淡情深。
与梦得沽[1]酒闲饮且约后期
白居易
少时犹不忧生计,
老去谁能惜酒钱?
共把十千沽一斗,
相看七十欠三年。
闲征雅令穷经史,
醉听清吟胜管弦。
更待菊黄家酿熟,
共君一醉一陶然[2]。
注释:
[1] 梦得:刘禹锡,字梦得,与白居易同龄。开成二年(837),白、刘(六十七岁,故云“相看七十欠三年”)同在洛阳。刘任太子宾客分司,白任太子少傅,都是闲职,故得“闲饮且约后期”。
[2] 陶然:舒畅快乐的样子。
Drinking Together with Liu Yuxi
Bai Juyi
While young, I was not worded about livelihood.
Old now, how could I grudge money for buying wine?
Let’s spend ten thousand coins for a jarful of drink good!
Looking in face, two years more we’ll be sixty-nine.
We read and play the drinkers’ wager game at leisure;
Drunk, we listen to verse better than music light.
When chrysanthemums yellow, may 1 have the pleasure
To invite you to drink my home-brew with delight?
The poet expresses his delight in drinking together with an old friend.
