飲馬渡秋水，水寒風似刀。
平沙日未沒，黯黯見臨洮。
昔日長城戰，鹹言意氣高。
黃塵足今古，白骨亂蓬蒿。
《塞下曲》原文賞析
【註解】：１、黯黯：同“暗暗”；
２、臨洮：今甘肅岷縣一帶，是長城起點。
３、鹹：都。
【簡析】：
寫出征戰的殘酷，具有強烈的人民性和歷史的縱深感。語言簡煉，極富表現力。這首樂府曲是以長城為背景，描繪戰爭的悲慘殘酷。詩的前四句寫塞外晚秋時
節，平沙日落的荒涼景象；後四句寫長城一帶，歷來是戰場，白骨成丘，景象荒涼。
全詩寫得觸目驚心，表達了非戰思想。
UNDER A BORDER-FORTRESS
Drink, my horse, while we cross the autumn water!-
The stream is cold and the wind like a sword,
As we watch against the sunset on the sandy plain,
Far, far away, shadowy Lingtao.
Old battles, waged by those long walls,
Once were proud on all men's tongues.
But antiquity now is a yellow dust,
Confusing in the grasses its ruins and white bones.来自www.lookup.tw
