夜宿山寺
危楼高百尺，
手可摘星辰。
不敢高声语，
恐惊天上人。
The mountain temple towers a hundred feet high;
I reach and pluck the stars from the sky.
I dare not speak in a voice too loud,
Lest I should startle the heavenly crowd.
逐句注释
危楼高百尺，
危楼：高楼，这里指山寺中高耸的楼阁。百尺：虚指，用夸张手法极言其高，并非确数。开篇以仰视视角写山寺之高，为全诗奠定奇绝的基调。
Wei lou means a high tower or temple building; here it is the lofty pavilion of a mountain temple. Bai chi is a hyperbolic figure, meaning a hundred feet, used to stress extreme height rather than an exact measurement. The opening line looks upward and establishes the poem's wondrous, towering perspective.
手可摘星辰。
星辰：星星。摘：采摘。此句承接上句，以夸张和想象写楼高近天，仿佛伸手就能摘到星星。把静态的高度化为动态动作，富有浪漫色彩与童趣。
Xing chen means stars; zhai means to pluck or pick. Building on the previous line, this uses hyperbole and fantasy to suggest the tower is so high that the stars seem within arm's reach. The static height becomes a dynamic action, full of romantic imagination and childlike wonder.
不敢高声语，
高声语：大声说话。不敢：写出诗人夜宿山寺时的心理，既因楼高近天而生敬畏，也因山寺夜晚幽静而自觉压低声音。由外景转入内心，笔法含蓄。
Gao sheng yu means to speak loudly; bu gan means dare not. This line turns from scenery to inner feeling: the poet is overawed by the height near heaven and also instinctively lowers his voice in the quiet mountain temple at night. The shift is understated yet evocative.
恐惊天上人。
恐：恐怕、担心。惊：惊动、打扰。天上人：天上的人，指神仙或想象中住在天宫的人。以虚写实，用幻想中的人物进一步反衬山寺之高，也显出李白式的浪漫与天真。
Kong means lest or for fear that; jing means to startle or disturb; tian shang ren means people in heaven, imagined as immortals or celestial beings. By using an imaginary realm to reflect reality, the line further emphasizes the height of the temple and reveals Li Bai's romantic, playful imagination.
今日赏析
此诗相传为唐代诗人李白漫游时夜宿山中寺庙所作。诗人登上高耸的寺楼，仰望星空，顿觉楼与天近，于是以夸张和想象写下这首短诗，表现山寺之高与夜宿时的惊奇、敬畏和浪漫情怀。
Traditionally attributed to Li Bai, this poem is said to have been written when he lodged overnight in a mountain temple during his travels. Climbing the towering temple tower and looking up at the stars, he felt so close to the sky that he wrote these lines, using hyperbole and imagination to convey the height of the mountain temple, the wonder of the night, and a reverent, romantic awe.
