　　望海潮·洛阳怀古

　　宋代：秦观

　　梅英疏淡，冰澌溶泄，东风暗换年华。金谷俊游，铜驼巷陌，新晴细履平沙。长记误随车。正絮翻蝶舞，芳思交加。柳下桃蹊，乱分春色到人家。

　　西园夜饮鸣笳。有华灯碍月，飞盖妨花。兰苑未空，行人渐老，重来是事堪嗟。烟暝酒旗斜。但倚楼极目，时见栖鸦。无奈归心，暗随流水到天涯。

　　译文

　　梅花稀疏，色彩轻淡，冰雪正在消融，春风吹拂暗暗换了年华。想昔日金谷胜游的园景，铜驼街巷的繁华，趁新晴漫步在雨后平沙。总记得曾误追了人家香车，正是柳絮翻飞蝴蝶翩舞，引得春思缭乱交加。柳荫下桃花小径，乱纷纷将春色送到万户千家。

　　西园夜里宴饮，乐工们吹奏起胡笳。缤纷高挂的华灯遮掩了月色，飞驰的车盖碰损了繁花。花园尚未凋残，游子却渐生霜发，重来旧地事事感慨吁嗟。暮霭里一面酒旗斜挂。空倚楼纵目远眺，时而看见栖树归鸦。见此情景，我油然而生归隐之心，神思已暗自随着流水奔到天涯。
