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 gives only the tune name. The ci has a short preface: "On the road at Pingxiang the sky suddenly cleared. Lying in my sedan chair I felt very drowsy, and rested a while by a willow pond." Common editions use its first words as the title.

语料只题词牌“眼儿媚”。这首词原有小序：“萍乡道中乍晴，卧舆中困甚，小憩柳塘。”通行本多用小序开头几个字作题目。

酣酣日脚紫烟浮Warm beams of sun slant through the clouds, and a purple haze floats up,暖洋洋的阳光从云缝里照下来，紫色的雾气飘浮着，
妍暖破轻裘so bright and warm that even a light fur coat is too much.晴朗暖和，连薄皮袄都穿不住了。
困人天色The weather makes you sleepy,这天气让人发困，
醉人花气the scent of flowers makes you feel drunk,花香让人像喝醉了一样，

一片縠纹愁spread with fine ripples, touched with faint sorrow.泛起一片细细的波纹，带着淡淡的愁。
溶溶泄泄The water sways slowly and gently,水波慢悠悠地荡漾着，

Background创作背景

In his preface Fan Chengda says that on the road at Pingxiang, in today's Jiangxi, the sky suddenly cleared. Lying in his sedan chair he felt terribly sleepy, so he rested a while by a pond lined with willows. It is usually thought he wrote it in the spring of 1173, passing Pingxiang on his way from Suzhou to a new post in Guilin.

范成大在小序里说：在萍乡（今江西萍乡）的路上，天忽然放晴，他躺在轿子里困得不得了，就在一个长着柳树的池塘边歇了一会儿。一般认为这是1173年春天，他从苏州去桂林上任，路过萍乡时写的。

The poet作者

Fan Chengda (1126–1193), also known as the Lay Buddhist of Stone Lake, was a Southern Song poet from Suzhou. He served in many places during his life and once went as an envoy to the Jin state. He had a sharp eye for small everyday scenes, and his poems on farm life through the seasons are the most famous. This ci captures one spring afternoon on a journey, seen up close.

范成大（1126—1193），号石湖居士，南宋诗人，苏州人。他一生到过很多地方做官，还出使过金国。他很会观察身边的小景物，写农村生活的《四时田园杂兴》最有名。这首词写旅途中的一个春日午后，看得很细。

The mood意境

The first half is about the weather. After rain the sky suddenly clears, beams of sun slant down, the mist glows purple, and it is so warm that even a light fur coat feels hot. The weather makes you sleepy, the flowers make you tipsy, and after a nap your head is still fuzzy. Reading it, you almost want to yawn too. The second half is the cleverest part. The poet says this lazy, hard-to-name spring sadness is like the water in a spring pond. The water sways gently. The east wind is too soft to do much: it starts to make ripples, then stops. His mood is the same: a little sad, but not quite able to be sad. Turning a feeling you cannot see into ripples you can see is a fresh and exact picture.

上片写天气。雨后忽然放晴，阳光一道道照下来，雾气带着紫色，暖得连薄皮袄都嫌热。天色让人困，花香让人醉，午睡起来头还是晕晕的。读着读着，自己好像也要打哈欠了。下片最妙：词人说，春天这种懒懒的、有点说不清的愁，就像池塘里的春水。水面轻轻荡着，东风软得没力气，想吹出波纹，吹了一下又停了。人的心情也是这样，好像有点愁，又愁不起来。把看不见的心情，写成看得见的水波，这个比喻又新又准。
