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 ends with a slightly different wording, calling the girls graceful green sleeves; the textbook says red scarves and green sleeves, and breaks the lines differently. The meaning is the same. The corpus also uses older forms of the characters for sliced fish and for railing, where the textbook uses the modern ones.

语料库最后几句作“倩何人,唤取盈盈翠袖,揾英雄泪”,课本作“倩何人唤取,红巾翠袖,揾英雄泪”,意思相同。另外语料库“鲙”课本作“脍”,“栏干”课本作“栏杆”。

Background创作背景

Jiankang is today's Nanjing in Jiangsu. The Shangxin Pavilion stood on the city's west wall, looking down on the Qinhuai River. Xin Qiji had come over from the north to the Southern Song more than ten years before. He longed to win back the north, which the Jin had taken, but was never given an important post. He climbed the pavilion, looked far off, and wrote this lyric. It is usually dated to around 1174; another view puts it in 1168 to 1170, when he held an office in Jiankang.

建康就是今天的江苏南京,赏心亭在建康城西的城墙上,可以俯看秦淮河。辛弃疾从北方投奔南宋已经十多年,一心想收复被金国占领的北方,却一直得不到重用。他登上赏心亭远望,写下了这首词。一般认为作于宋孝宗淳熙元年(1174年)前后,一说作于他在建康做通判的时候(1168—1170年)。

05

The poet作者

Xin Qiji (1140–1207), also called Jiaxuan, was a great lyric poet of the Southern Song. He was born in the north under Jin rule. In his early twenties he led troops against the Jin, and then went over to the Southern Song. All his life he wanted to win back the lost land, but he was often pushed aside, so he poured his passion into his lyrics. His lyrics are bold and strong, and he is named with Su Shi as Su and Xin.

辛弃疾(1140—1207),字幼安,号稼轩,南宋大词人。他生在被金国占领的北方,二十多岁就带兵抗金,后来投奔南宋。他一辈子想收复失地,却常被排挤,只能把满腔的热血写进词里。他的词豪放有力,和苏轼并称“苏辛”。

06

The mood意境

The first half shows the view from up high and the pain in his heart. The autumn river and far hills are lovely, but to him the hills seem to offer sorrow and grief. The setting sun, a lone goose and a wandering traveller make the picture lonelier and lonelier. He takes out his sword and looks at it, slaps the railing all along, yet no one understands his wish to fight his way back north. The second half uses three old stories in a row. First: Zhang Jiying missed home and simply went back, but Xin Qiji's home is in the north under the Jin, and he cannot go. Second: he looks down on people who care only for land and houses, and will not live like that. Third: Huan Wen sighed that his trees had grown and he had grown old, and Xin Qiji too sighs that time is slipping by while his great hope is not fulfilled. At the end he asks who could call someone to wipe a hero's tears. A great hero who can only weep alone: reading it, we both admire him and feel for him.

上片写登高看到的景和心里的苦。秋天的江水、远处的群山都很美,可山在他眼里却是“献愁供恨”。夕阳、孤雁,再加上一个漂泊的游子,画面越来越孤单。他拿出宝刀看了又看,把栏杆拍了个遍,却没有人懂他想打回北方的心。下片连用三个古人的故事。第一个:张季鹰想家就回去了,可辛弃疾的家乡在北方,被金国占着,回不去。第二个:他看不起只顾买田买房的人,自己不愿那样活。第三个:桓温叹树已长大、人已变老,他也在叹时光流走、壮志未成。最后说,谁能叫个人来替英雄擦眼泪呢?一个大英雄,却只能独自流泪,读来让人又敬佩又心疼。
