How to read it读音

咽yè: Here the character means to choke with sobs, so it is read yè, not yàn or yān.“惨咽”的“咽”是哭得说不出话，读 yè，不读 yàn 或 yān。
曲qǔ: Here the character means a song, so it is read qǔ.“一曲”指一首歌，“曲”读 qǔ。
教jiào: Here the character means to make, and is usually read jiào today. The meter wants a level tone here, so some readers say jiāo.“能教”的“教”是“使、让”的意思，现在一般读 jiào。按词的格律这里要用平声，所以也有人读 jiāo。

Background创作背景

This lyric is usually dated to 1034. Ouyang Xiu had worked in Luoyang for three years, his term was over, and he had to leave. Luoyang was where he and his friends drank, enjoyed flowers and wrote poems together, and he loved it dearly. He wrote this lyric at a farewell feast. Some think it was written at a different farewell, and accounts differ on the details.

一般认为，这首词写于宋仁宗景祐元年（1034年）。那时欧阳修在洛阳做官三年，任期满了，要离开洛阳。洛阳是他和好友们一起饮酒赏花、写诗作文的地方，他非常留恋。在饯别的酒宴上，他写下了这首词。也有人认为写的是别的送别场合，具体情况说法不一。

The poet作者

Ouyang Xiu (1007–1072), who called himself the Old Drunkard and later the Retired Scholar of Six Ones, was a Northern Song writer and one of the Eight Great Prose Masters of Tang and Song. As a young official in Luoyang he often went out and wrote with friends such as Mei Yaochen; those were his happiest days. His essays are serious and reasoned, but his lyrics are fresh and tender, often about spring, flowers and parting.

欧阳修（1007—1072），号醉翁，晚年又号六一居士，北宋文学家，“唐宋八大家”之一。他年轻时在洛阳做官，和梅尧臣等朋友常常一起游玩、写作，那是他最快乐的日子。他写文章讲道理很严肃，写词却清新深情，常写春天、花和离别。

The mood意境

It opens with one small moment. The poet is about to say when he will leave, but before he speaks, the person across from him is already crying. This picture makes the parting feel real at once. The next two lines step back to say something true: people are born full of feeling, and the pain of parting lives in the heart itself, so you cannot blame the wind or the moon. These lines say it so clearly that they became famous. The second half says: do not write new farewell songs; one is enough to break a heart. At the end the poet finds a way out. First see all of Luoyang's flowers, then say goodbye to spring, and maybe it will hurt less. It sounds easygoing, but it really shows how hard it is for him to leave.

开头是一个很小的动作：词人刚想说出离开的日子，还没开口，对面的人已经哭了。这个画面让离别一下子变得很真实。接着两句跳出来讲道理：人天生就重感情，离别的痛苦是人心里本来就有的，不能怪风怪月。这两句说得很透，成了名句。下半首说，送别的歌别再翻新了，一首就够让人心碎。最后词人想出一个办法：先把洛阳的花看够，再和春天告别，也许就不那么难受。这话听起来豁达，其实正说明他太舍不得了。
