中文注释　　English

　　李白（701-762），字太白，号青莲居士，唐代伟大诗人。他在诗歌中热烈歌唱进步的社会理想，表示了对黑暗统治势力的极大轻蔑；他善于以豪迈的笔墨描绘祖国壮丽山河，写了许多想象丰富、气势奔放的优秀诗篇。在我国古代诗歌发展史上，李白达到了浪漫主义艺术的顶峰。“诗仙”，是人们对他的美称。

1.白帝城——旧址在四川省奉节县东白帝山上，下临长江。

2.朝辞——早晨告别。在这里和“早发”相同，是说清晨从某地出发。

3.江陵——现在的湖北省江陵县，在白帝城东1200里。

4.住——一作“尽”。

5.万重山——万层山，万道山，这是夸张的说法。

　　李白晚年，被朝廷流放夜郎，西行到川东白帝城，赶上全国大赦，重获自由。这首七言绝句（七绝），是他乘船东下返回江陵时的作品。

　　在一个霞光灿烂的清晨，诗人告别彩去缭绕的白帝城，登上归舟，沿江而下，只一天便回到千里之外的江陵。“彩云间”，形容白帝城地势高峻，晨光迷人；“千里”、“一日”，表现江流湍急，船行神速。所有这些，又都烘托着诗人一路欢欣喜悦的激情。

　　从白帝到江陵，要穿过七百里三峡。这里山势雄奇，林木苍翠，上有变幻多姿的云霞烟雾，下有惊心动魄的险滩急流。对这一切，归心似箭的诗人全不在意，只听得两岸山上猿猴的叫声此起彼伏，不绝于耳，就像在为诗人夹道送行一般。可诗人顾不上理睬它们，轻快的小船早就掠过峡谷，把一道道峦抛到身后去了。“两岸猿声啼不住，轻舟已过万重山”，多么壮丽的山川，多么畅快的归途，多么飘逸潇洒、神采飞扬的诗句啊！

　　这首小诗，是公认的古代山水绝句中最优秀的篇章。


  Li Bai（701-762）was a great poet of the Tang Dynasty. In his poems,he warmly eulogized progressive social ideas and strongly satirized the authority of the dark rule. As a master of describing the splendid scenery with his robustious verses,he wrote many excellent poems full of imagination and vigour.In the history of ancient Chinese poety,Li Bai reached the peak of romantic expressions of art ,thus widely praised as the"Immortal of Poems".

  In his old age,Li was sent into exile by the imperial court. While traveling west to the place of exile,he found himself freed again during a mational amnesty at the City of White Emperor in Sichuan Province. Li wrote this poem in a seven-syllabled quatrain form during a home-bound journey by boat down stream to Jiangling in Hubei Province.

  In the first two lines,Li told us that he left the City of White Emperor towering and sailed fast downstream just in one day to reach Jiangliang which was one thousand li（five hundred kilometers）away. He showed in these lines the beauty of the City,attractiveness of the sunny morning, swiftness of river currents and fast speed of the boat journey,all of which above given a vivid expression of his joy and happiness.

  In the last two lines,he led us to the river journey through the famous seven-hundred-li Three-Gorges,where one could see precipitous mountains covered with thick woods among changing clouds,experience strong currents and dangerous shoals and hear the screams of monkeys on the river banks.Anxious to return home,the poet ignored all these.As he expressed in the poem:"The screams of monkeys on either bank.Had scarcely ceased echoing in my ear.When my skiff had left behind it.Ten thousand ranges of hills."

  These verses are truly an elegant and original description of a pleasant journey.This short poem has been widely recognized as the best of ancient landscape verses.
