"Like a dream, the rain blew suddenly last night" is an early poem by Li Qingzhao, a poetess in the Song Dynasty. The translation is as follows:
Although it rained thinly and the wind was strong last night, a deep sleep could not eliminate all the remaining alcohol. Ask the maid who is rolling the blinds: What about the begonia flowers in the garden now? She said that the begonia flowers are still the same as yesterday. You know, you know, this season should be lush green leaves and withered red flowers.
Appreciate:
This little word is only six sentences and thirty-three words, but it is written in a tortuous and euphemistic way, which is very hierarchical. The poet drinks heavily because he loves flowers, but he "questions" because he knows the gratitude of flowers, and asks questions because he doesn't believe the answer of "confinement". So he turned around step by step and expressed his love for flowers in a swaying way.
"Green" instead of leaves and "red" instead of flowers are the contrast of the two colors; "Fat" describes that the leaves after rain are lush and fat because of sufficient water, and "thin" describes that the flowers after rain are withered and scarce because of unbearable rain. This is the contrast between the two States. Four common words are so vivid and vivid through the collocation and combination of poets, which is really a creation in the use of language.
Judging from these four words, the word "red and thin" indicates the gradual disappearance of spring, and "green manure" symbolizes the arrival of summer with green leaves. This very common language is really amazing.
