九月九日[1]忆山东兄弟
[唐]王维
独在异乡为异客,
每逢佳节倍思亲。
遥知兄弟登高[2]处,
遍插茱萸[3]少一人。
注释:
[1]九月九日:即重阳节,古时九为阳数,故九月九日为重阳。
[2]登高:登山,重阳节习俗之一。
[3]茱萸:一种香草。古时有重阳节插戴茱萸辟邪的风俗。
Thinking of My Brothers on Mountain-climbing Day
Wang Wei
Alone,a lonely stranger in a foreign land,
I doubly pine for my kinsfolk on holiday.
I know my brothers would,with dogwood spray in hand,
Climb up the mountain and miss me so far away.
