This poem is about the feeling of waking up on a spring morning. It is usually thought to come from the years when Meng Haoran lived quietly near his home town of Xiangyang. Which year it was can no longer be told. Meng spent most of his life in the countryside and often wrote about the hills, streams and daily life around him. This poem starts from a very ordinary morning.
这首诗写的是春天早晨刚睡醒时的感受。一般认为是孟浩然隐居在家乡襄阳一带时写的，具体哪一年已经说不清了。孟浩然大半辈子住在乡下，常常写身边的山水和日常生活，这首诗就是从一个很平常的早晨写起的。
Meng Haoran (689–740) came from Xiangyang in today's Hubei. He was a famous Tang poet of hills, rivers and country life, often named together with Wang Wei. He never held an official post. He spent most of his life living quietly at home, and also travelled widely. His poems use plain, natural words and read like friendly talk.
孟浩然（689—740），襄州襄阳（今湖北襄阳）人，唐代著名的山水田园诗人，和王维并称“王孟”。他一生没有做官，大部分时间在家乡隐居，也常到各地游历。他的诗语言平淡自然，读起来像说话一样亲切。
The poet sleeps until morning and is woken by birds outside the window. First comes the cheerful part: birds are singing everywhere, and spring is lovely. Then he remembers the wind and rain in the night, and a thought stirs: so many flowers, how many were knocked down? There is joy in spring here, and also a little sadness at seeing it slip away. The poem has no hard words. It never says "I love spring." It only gives the sounds he hears and one question in his mind. Yet it makes us feel we are lying in bed too, hearing the birds and picturing petals all over the ground.
诗人一觉睡到天亮，被窗外的鸟叫声唤醒。他先听到的是热闹：到处都是鸟儿在唱歌，春天多好啊。接着他想起昨夜的风雨声，心里一动：那么多花，被风吹雨打落了多少？这里有喜欢春天的快乐，也有一点点舍不得春天的惋惜。全诗没有一个难字，也没有直接写“我爱春天”，只写了听到的声音和心里的一个问题，却让人好像也躺在床上，听见鸟叫，想到满地的落花。
