BRINGING IN THE WINE
See how the Yellow River"s waters move out of heaven.
Entering the ocean, never to return.
See how lovely locks in bright mirrors in high chambers,
Though silken-black at morning, have changed by night to snow.
...Oh, let a man of spirit venture where he pleases
And never tip his golden cup empty toward the moon!
Since heaven gave the talent, let it be employed!
Spin a thousand pieces of silver, all of them come back!
Cook a sheep, kill a cow, whet the appetite,
And make me, of three hundred bowls, one long drink!
...To the old master, Cen,
And the young scholar, Danqiu,
Bring in the wine!
Let your cups never rest!
Let me sing you a song!
Let your ears attend!
What are bell and drum, rare dishes and treasure?
Let me be forever drunk and never come to reason!
Sober men of olden days and sages are forgotten,
And only the great drinkers are famous for all time.
...Prince Chen paid at a banquet in the Palace of Perfection
Ten thousand coins for a cask of wine, with many a laugh and quip.
Why say, my host, that your money is gone?
Go and buy wine and we"ll drink it together!
My flower-dappled horse,
My furs worth a thousand,
Hand them to the boy to exchange for good wine,
And we"ll drown away the woes of ten thousand generations!
原文：
君不见黄河之水天上来，奔流到海不复回。
君不见高堂明镜悲白发，朝如青丝暮成雪。
人生得意须尽欢，莫使金樽空对月。
天生我材必有用，千金散尽还复来。
烹羊宰牛且为乐，会须一饮三百杯。
岑夫子，丹丘生，将进酒，君莫停。
与君歌一曲，请君为我侧耳听。
钟鼓馔玉不足贵，但愿长醉不愿醒。
古来圣贤皆寂寞，惟有饮者留其名。
陈王昔时宴平乐，斗酒十千恣欢谑。
主人何为言少钱，径须沽取对君酌。
五花马，千金裘，呼儿将出换美酒，与尔同销万古愁。

《将进酒》赏析
《将进酒》篇幅不算长，却五音繁会，气象不凡。
它笔酣墨饱，情极悲愤而作狂放，语极豪纵而又沉着。
诗篇具有震动古今的气势与力量，这诚然与夸张手法不无关系，比如诗中屡用巨额数目字(“千金”、“三百杯”、“斗酒十千”、“千金裘”、“万古愁”等等)表现豪迈诗情，同时，又不给人空洞浮夸感，其根源就在于它那充实深厚的`内在感情，那潜在酒话底下如波涛汹涌的郁怒情绪。此外，全篇大起大落，诗情忽翕忽张，由悲转乐、转狂放、转愤激、再转狂放、最后结穴于“万古愁”，回应篇首，如大河奔流，有气势，亦有曲折，纵横捭阖，力能扛鼎。其歌中有歌的包孕写法，又有鬼斧神工、“绝去笔墨畦径”之妙，既非镵刻能学，又非率尔可到。通篇以七言为主，而以三、五、十言句“破”之，极参差错综之致;诗句以散行为主，又以短小的对仗语点染(如“岑夫子，丹丘生”，“五花马，千金裘”)，节奏疾徐尽变，奔放而不流易。《唐诗别裁》谓“读李诗者于雄快之中，得其深远宕逸之神，才是谪仙人面目”，此篇足以当之。
宋人严羽评点李白这首诗说：“一往豪情，使人不能句字赏摘。盖他人作诗用笔想，太白但用胸口一喷即是，此其所长。”
李白是我国唐代伟大诗人，创作出大量赞美祖国山河的壮丽诗篇，《望庐山瀑布》是其代表作之一。
望庐山瀑布
日照香炉生紫烟，遥看瀑布挂前川。
飞流直下三千尺，疑是银河落九天。
译文一：
The Waterfall in Mount Lu Viewed from Afar
The sunlit Censer Peak exhales incenselike cloud;
Like an upended stream the cataract sounds loud.
As if the Silver River fell from the blue sky.
译文二：
Watching the Lu Mountain Falls
Purple smoke rises from the mountaintop
The peak looks like an incese burner in the sunlight
Far away I see the valley stretching before me
The whole waterfall hangs there
The torrent dropping three thousand feet
Straight down to the valley floor
I think it must be the milky way
Spilling to the earth from the heavens
译文
香炉峰在阳光的照射下生起紫色烟霞，远远望见瀑布似白色绢绸悬挂在山前。
高崖上飞腾直落的瀑布好像有几千尺，让人恍惚以为银河从天上泻落到人间。
注释
1.香炉：指香炉峰。紫烟：指日光透过云雾，远望如紫色的烟云。孟浩然《彭蠡湖中望庐山》：“香炉初上日，瀑布喷成虹。”“日照”二句：一作“庐山上与星斗连，日照香炉生紫烟”。
2.遥看：从远处看。挂：悬挂。前川：一作“长川”。川：河流，这里指瀑布。
3.直：笔直。三千尺：形容山高。这里是夸张的说法，不是实指。
4.疑：怀疑。银河：古人指银河系构成的带状星群。九天：一作“半天”。古人认为天有九重，九天是天的最高层，九重天，即天空最高处。此句极言瀑布落差之大。
赏析
这是诗人李白五十岁左右隐居庐山时写的一首风景诗。这首诗形象地描绘了庐山瀑布雄奇壮丽的景色，反映了诗人对祖国大好河山的无限热爱。 首句“日照香炉生紫烟”。“香炉”是指庐山的香炉峰。此峰在庐山西北，形状尖圆，像座香炉。由于瀑布飞泻，水气蒸腾而上，在丽日照耀下，仿佛有座顶天立地的香炉冉冉升起了团团紫烟。一个“生”字把烟云冉冉上升的`景象写活了。此句为瀑布设置了雄奇的背景，也为下文直接描写瀑布渲染了气氛。
次句“遥看瀑布挂前川”。“遥看瀑布”四字照应了题目《望庐山瀑布》。“挂前川” 是说瀑布像一条巨大的白练从悬崖直挂到前面的河流上。“挂”字化动为静，维纱维肖地写出遥望中的瀑布。
诗的前两句从大处着笔，概写望中全景：山顶紫烟缭绕，山间白练悬挂，山下激流奔腾，构成一幅绚丽壮美的图景。
第三句“飞流直下三千尺”是从近处细致地描写瀑布。“飞流”表现瀑布凌空而出，喷涌飞泻。“直下”既写出岩壁的陡峭，又写出水流之急。“三千尺”极力夸张，写山的高峻。
这样写诗人觉得还没把瀑布的雄奇气势表现得淋漓尽致，于是接着又写上一句“疑是银河落九天”。说这“飞流直下”的瀑布，使人怀疑是银河从九天倾泻下来。一个“疑”，用得空灵活泼，若真若幻，引人遐想，增添了瀑布的神奇色彩。
这首诗极其成功地运用了比喻、夸张和想象，构思奇特，语言生动形象、洗炼明快。苏东坡十分赞赏这首诗，说“帝遣银河一脉垂，古来唯有谪仙词”。“谪仙”就是李白。《望庐山瀑布》的确是状物写景和抒情的范例。
