Underlined words have notes: tap one. The Pinyin button below shows or hides all pinyin. 一 and 不 are marked with the tone you actually say.字下有虚线的,点开有注释。下方的“拼音”按钮可以显示或隐藏全部拼音。“一”“不”标的是实际读出来的变调。

The corpus writes "railing" with an older form of the character; the textbook uses the common one. The meaning is the same. The corpus breaks one line as "drive the chariot and smash / the Helan passes"; the textbook breaks it as "drive the chariot / smash the Helan passes". Phrases the corpus marks with small pauses are split into lines by the textbook's punctuation.

语料库作“凭阑处”,课本常作“凭栏处”,意思一样。语料库断句为“驾长车踏破,贺兰山缺”,课本断为“驾长车,踏破贺兰山缺”。语料库用顿号隔开的短语,这里按课本标点分句。

Background创作背景

At the end of the Northern Song, the Jin army swept south. In 1127 it took the capital and carried off two emperors, and the Northern Song fell. This is called the Jingkang Incident. After the Southern Song was set up, Yue Fei led armies against the Jin, won many battles, and longed to win back the north. This lyric shows his resolve to serve his country and wipe out the shame. Sources disagree on when it was written. Also, the lyric does not appear in any book from the Song or Yuan; it first shows up in the Ming. So some scholars doubt that Yue Fei wrote it, though it is still usually counted as his.

北宋末年,金兵南下。1127年,金兵攻破都城,抓走了两个皇帝,北宋灭亡,史称“靖康之变”。南宋建立后,岳飞带兵抗金,打了很多胜仗,一心想收复北方失地。这首词表达的就是这种报国雪耻的决心,具体写作时间说法不一。另外,这首词在宋元时期的书里没有记载,到明代才出现,所以有学者怀疑它不是岳飞写的,但一般仍认为是岳飞的作品。

The poet作者

Yue Fei (1103–1142), also called Pengju, was a famous Southern Song general who fought the Jin. He ran his army strictly, and it was known as the Yue Family Army. The Jin said it was easier to shake a mountain than to shake the Yue army. Later he was killed by the treacherous minister Qin Hui and others on a charge with no evidence at all. People have honored him ever since as a hero of loyalty to his country.

岳飞(1103—1142),字鹏举,南宋抗金名将。他治军严格,他的军队被称为“岳家军”,金兵中有“撼山易,撼岳家军难”的说法。后来他被奸臣秦桧等人以“莫须有”的罪名害死,人们一直怀念他,把他看作精忠报国的英雄。

The mood意境

From start to end, this lyric sounds like a battle cry. The first four characters show a man so angry his hair stands on end. He leans on a railing as the rain stops, looks up, and cries out to the sky; his great ambition cannot be held down. Then he looks back at his own life. Thirty years of fame mean nothing, and he has marched eight thousand li. He warns himself, and the reader: do not waste your youth, or you will regret it when your hair turns white. The second stanza opens with short three-character lines, like beats on a war drum. The national shame is not washed away; when will the anger end? Then he imagines driving his chariot through the enemy's passes and beating them while he laughs and talks. "Eating flesh" and "drinking blood" are wild exaggerations that show how deeply he hates the invaders. The ending is steady: once the land is won back, he will go and report to the court. The whole lyric is bold and fierce, and it has stirred countless people for centuries.

这首词从头到尾都像在呐喊。开头四个字“怒发冲冠”,一个人气得头发都竖起来了。他靠着栏杆,雨刚停,抬头对天长啸,心里的壮志压都压不住。接着他回头看自己:三十年的功名不算什么,八千里的路一直在奔波。他提醒自己,也提醒读者:不要虚度青春,等头发白了再后悔就晚了。下阕一开头用短短的三字句,像在一下一下敲鼓:国耻还没洗雪,仇恨什么时候才能消?然后他想象驾着战车冲破敌人的关口,说笑之间就能消灭敌人。“吃肉”“喝血”是夸张的说法,表示他对侵略者的极度愤恨。最后一句收得很稳:等收复了山河,再去向朝廷报告。整首词气势豪迈,感情激烈,千百年来鼓舞了无数人。
