客中作
兰陵美酒郁金香
玉碗盛来琥珀光
但使主人能醉客
不知何处是他乡
The lovely wine of Lanling gives a tulip's fragrance rare,
In jade bowls it gleams with amber light, beyond compare.
As long as the host can make his guest forget all care,
He knows not where he is, nor that he dwells in foreign air.
逐句注释
兰陵美酒郁金香
兰陵美酒散发郁金香的芬芳。兰陵为地名，今山东临沂一带，古以美酒著称。‘郁金香’指郁金草或郁金香花，此处写酒香浓郁。感官意象，以嗅觉引入。
The fine wine of Lanling wafts the fragrance of tulips. Lanling (in present-day Shandong) was famous for wine. 'Yujinxiang' (tulip/turmeric) emphasizes the rich aroma. This line evokes olfactive imagery to set a sensory scene.
玉碗盛来琥珀光
用玉碗盛酒，酒色如琥珀般晶莹透亮。视觉意象，以‘琥珀’比喻酒色，玉碗的温润与琥珀的光泽相映，写酒之珍贵与诱人。
Jade bowls hold the wine, which glows like amber. Visual imagery: amber metaphorically depicts the wine's translucent, golden hue. The combination of jade and amber elevates the wine's precious and inviting quality.
但使主人能醉客
‘但使’意为只要、假使。只要主人能使客人酣醉。主客关系，暗含诗人心甘情愿一醉方休的洒脱。
'Dan shi' means 'as long as' or 'if only.' As long as the host can make the guest drunk. The host-guest dynamic reveals the poet's carefree willingness to drink deeply, letting wine dissolve all boundaries.
不知何处是他乡
在醉意中不再感到身在异乡。直抒胸臆，以‘不知’与‘他乡’相对，表现李白四海为家、豪放旷达的胸怀。
In the intoxication, no longer does one feel a stranger in a foreign land. The contrast between 'not knowing' and 'other land' expresses Li Bai's expansive, free-spirited attitude: home is wherever one finds joy.
今日赏析
此诗大约作于唐玄宗开元年间，李白漫游山东兰陵一带时。诗中尽显诗人豪饮纵酒、四海为家的潇洒气质。以美酒、玉碗、琥珀等华美意象，传达出‘醉乡即故乡’的旷达与乐观精神。
This poem was likely written during the Kaiyuan era of Emperor Xuanzong, when Li Bai was roaming around Lanling, Shandong. It displays the poet's bold, bohemian spirit as he drinks freely wherever he travels. Through luxurious imagery of fine wine, jade bowls, and amber light, Li Bai conveys a philosophical ease: a drunken land is one's home.
