朗读这篇文章

玉楼春
 戏林推

[宋]刘克庄

年年跃马长安[1]市，

客舍似家家似寄[2]。

青钱[3]换酒日无何[4]，

红烛呼卢[5]宵不寐。

易挑锦妇机中字[6]，

难得玉人[7]心下事。

男儿西北有神州，

莫滴水西桥[8]畔泪。

[1]长安：这里借指南宋都城临安。

[2]寄：客居。

[3]青钱：古铜钱成色不同，分青钱、黄钱两种。

[4]无何：不过问其他的事情。

[5]红烛呼卢：晚上点蜡烛赌博。

[6]机中字：织锦中的文字。

[7]玉人：美人，这里指歌伎。这句说妓女的心事是不易捉摸的。

[8]水西桥：泛指歌伎所居之地，这句说不要为妓女浪费自己的眼泪。

Tune: Spring in Jade Pavilion
 Written in Jest for a Friend

Liu Kezhuang

You gallop in the capital year after year,

More than at home in brothels you appear.

You spend your coins on wine, washing your day;

By candlelight you gamble all the night away.

Why should you abandon your wife faithful to you?

Don’t you know a fair mistress’s heart won’t be true?

A gallant man should not forget lost northwest lands.

Do not shed tears where your mistress’s mansion stands!

Liu Kezhuang (1187—1269) was a patriotic poet of the Southern Song Dynasty. This lyric was advice to one of his friends.
