寄扬州韩绰判官
青山隐隐水迢迢
秋尽江南草未凋
二十四桥明月夜
玉人何处教吹箫
Green hills are faint and far; the river stretches away,
Autumn is over in Jiangnan, yet grass remains green and gay.
On Twenty-Four Bridges in the bright moonlight,
Where, my jade-like friend, are you teaching the flute tonight?
逐句注释
青山隐隐水迢迢
首句写极目远望之景：青山隐约，绿水悠长，既勾勒江南山水，又暗含诗人身在远方、遥寄思念的意味。叠词“隐隐”“迢迢”使画面具有朦胧悠远的动感。
The opening line paints a distant vista: green hills loom faintly and rivers stretch far away. It both sketches the landscape of Jiangnan and hints that the poet is far away, looking toward Yangzhou with longing. The reduplicated words yinyin (faint) and tiaotiao (far-stretching) give the scene a hazy, flowing quality.
秋尽江南草未凋
点明时间是深秋，但江南气候温和，草木仍未凋零。以“未凋”反衬北方或诗人所在地的秋意，也寄托对江南的留恋。
This line fixes the season as late autumn, yet the mild climate of Jiangnan keeps the grass from withering. The word 'not yet withered' subtly contrasts the poet's current surroundings and deepens his nostalgic attachment to the South.
二十四桥明月夜
二十四桥是扬州名胜。一种说法指扬州城内有二十四座桥，另一种说法指一座名为“二十四桥”的古桥。明月夜渲染出扬州繁华静美的风情，为下文作铺垫。
The Twenty-Four Bridges are famous landmarks of Yangzhou. One interpretation is that there were twenty-four bridges in the city; another takes it as a single bridge named 'Twenty-Four Bridges.' The bright moonlit night evokes Yangzhou's elegance and lays the groundwork for the playful question that follows.
玉人何处教吹箫
“玉人”既可美称友人韩绰，也可代指杜牧记忆中扬州的歌女。诗人用调侃而亲切的问句，问老朋友此时在何处赏月听曲，实则表达对扬州岁月和友情的怀念。
'Jade-like person' can be a complimentary name for his friend Han Chuo, or it may suggest the singing girls of Yangzhou in the poet's memory. This teasing, intimate question asks where his old friend is enjoying the moon and music, and in so doing expresses nostalgia for their time together in Yangzhou.
今日赏析
杜牧在扬州任淮南节度掌书记时与韩绰交好。离开扬州后，正值江南秋末，他在北方思念江南风物与昔日同僚，写下这首七绝寄给韩绰，以调侃的语气遥问友人在扬州的风流雅事。
Du Mu was good friends with Han Chuo while serving as secretary of the Huainan military governor in Yangzhou. After leaving the city, at the end of autumn in Jiangnan, he missed the southern landscape and his old colleague, so he wrote this quatrain to Han Chuo, playfully asking what elegant pleasures his friend was enjoying in Yangzhou.
