黄蜂频扑秋千索Yellow bees dart again and again at the swing's ropes,黄蜂一次次扑向秋千的绳子，
有当时纤手香凝for the scent of your slender hands from back then still clings there.因为上面还留着你当年纤手的香气。

Background创作背景

This lyric was written around the Qingming Festival. In it Wu Wenying remembers a woman he had parted from. It is usually said that he had a concubine in Suzhou who later left him, and that in Hangzhou he loved another woman who later died. Views differ on which one this lyric remembers; one view says it is the woman from Suzhou, and the west garden is where the two used to go. The year it was written is not known.

这首词写于清明时节，是吴文英怀念一位已经分别的女子的作品。一般认为，他在苏州时有一位姬妾，后来离去；在杭州也有过一位相爱的女子，后来去世了。这首词怀念的是哪一位，说法不一，一说是怀念苏州的那位，“西园”是两人旧时同游的园子。写作年份不详。

The poet作者

Wu Wenying (about 1200 to about 1260), also called Mengchuang, was a lyric poet of the Southern Song. He never held a high office, and often worked as an adviser in other men's households. He lived for a long time around Suzhou and Hangzhou. His lyrics use rich, finely carved words, and many readers find them hard. This one is plainer and more natural, and is one of his easiest famous pieces to read.

吴文英（约1200—约1260），号梦窗，南宋词人。他一生没有做过大官，常在别人家做幕僚，在苏州、杭州一带住过很久。他的词用字精美，像雕刻一样细，很多人觉得难懂。这首写得比较清淡自然，是他最容易读懂的名篇之一。

The mood意境

Qingming is already a sad day, and now there is wind and rain too. The poet writes a piece for burying flowers, but really he is burying his own sorrow. The road in front of the tower is where the two parted. Willow strands hang down, and each one is like a feeling he cannot let go. The second half is the most moving. He sweeps the garden every day, as if she might come back. Bees keep darting at the swing ropes, because her scent is still on them. It is a delicate idea: she has been gone so long, yet even the bees remember her. The last line says moss has grown on the steps in one night, because she never walks there any more. Moss in one night is an exaggeration, but it makes us feel at once how long the waiting has been.

清明本来就是让人伤感的日子，又刮风又下雨。诗人写葬花的文字，其实是在埋葬自己的心事。楼前的路，是两人分手的地方，柳丝一根根垂下来，每一根都像一段放不下的感情。下半首最动人。他每天去扫园子，好像那个人还会回来。黄蜂老往秋千绳上扑，是因为绳子上还留着她手上的香气。这个想法特别细腻：人走了这么久，连蜜蜂都还记得她。最后一句说，台阶一夜之间长满青苔，因为她再也没有走过。一夜长苔当然是夸张，却让人一下子感到等待的漫长。
