客邸中秋对月
去年中秋秋月圆，浩歌对酒清无眠。
烟霏灭尽人境寂，仰看明月悬中天。
今年客里中秋月，静挹金波更清绝。
可怜有月客无酒，不照欢娱照离别。
夜阑淅淅西风凉，月中老桂吹天香。
悠然长啸动归兴，坐久零露沾衣裳。
浮世悲欢何足数，庾楼赤壁俱尘土。
风流已往明月来，山色江声自今古。
以下是这首诗的英译：
Last year during Mid-Autumn, when the moon was round and bright, Drinking songs, I was clear-minded and couldn't sleep at night. With misty clouds all gone, the world was quiet and serene, Looking up, the bright moon hung in the middle of the sky.
This year in my foreign land, on this Mid-Autumn day, The moon is still shining, its golden waves more serene and bright. Sorrowly, I find no wine to share with the moon, Only to witness our joy and sorrows, not our reunion.
At night's end, with a cool, gentle West wind, The old osmanthus tree in the moon shines with natural grace. A long howl escapes my lips, awakening my desire to return home, After sitting for too long, I find morning dews on my clothes.
Life's joys and sorrows are but a fleeting moment, Even the buildings of Iu Liang and赤壁赤壁 are just dust in the air. Although the world's glorious times are past, the moon remains bright; The mountains and rivers hold their own beauty through time.
注：由于“赤壁”在中国文化中非常著名，可以不必直译为“赤壁的尘土”，可以译为“历史的尘埃”。另外，“山色江声自今古”这句诗表达的是自然景色和历史变迁的永恒，可以译为“自然景色和历史都在永恒中流转”。以下是修改后的译文：
Last year on Mid-Autumn night, as the full moon graced the sky, I sang and drank heartily, yet remained wide awake. The world was serene as clouds dissipated, And I gazed up at the moon shining in its prime.
This year in a foreign land once again for Mid-Autumn Day, The moon shines bright with serene clarity all around. Yet sadly I find no wine to share with her now; She witnesses our joys and sorrows instead of our reunions.
As the night winds down and a cool breeze brushes by, The old osmanthus tree in the moon glows with celestial vigor. Long howls arise from my heart’s desire to return home, After long sitting up late at night with dewdrops on my clothes.
Life’s joys and sorrows are fleeting moments in time; Even cities like Iu Liang are mere dust in history’s dustbin. Although past ages come and go, the moon remains ever bright; The natural beauty of mountains and rivers persist throughout time’s tapestry.
《客邸中秋对月》这首诗，以其细腻的笔触和深沉的情感，描绘了两度中秋之夜的不同心境，展现了诗人对时光流转、人生离合的深刻感悟。
开篇“去年中秋秋月圆，浩歌对酒清无眠”，诗人将我们带回到去年那个团圆美满的中秋夜。月光皎洁，诗人与友人把酒言欢，歌声笑语中，无一丝睡意，那份畅快淋漓，至今仍令人向往。这里的“浩歌对酒”，不仅描绘了欢聚的场景，更透露出诗人内心的愉悦与满足。
随后笔锋一转，“烟霏灭尽人境寂，仰看明月悬中天”，去年的热闹渐渐淡去，取而代之的是今年的孤寂。诗人身处异乡，独自一人仰望高悬中天的明月，四周万籁俱寂，只有月光如水，静静地洒落。这种从喧嚣到宁静的转变，巧妙地映射出诗人心境的变化。
“今年客里中秋月，静挹金波更清绝。”今年的中秋，诗人客居他乡，虽无去年的热闹，但月光却似乎更加清澈绝伦。这里的“静挹金波”，既是对月光之美的高度赞美，也暗含了诗人内心的宁静与超脱。然而，“可怜有月客无酒，不照欢娱照离别”，月光虽美，却因无酒相伴，显得格外清冷，它映照的不是欢聚的喜悦，而是离别的哀愁。
夜深了，西风渐起，带来一丝凉意，“夜阑淅淅西风凉，月中老桂吹天香。”月中的桂花仿佛也被这西风吹动，散发出阵阵香气，这香气不仅弥漫在空气中，更渗透进了诗人的心田。在这样的夜晚，诗人不禁悠然长啸，动了归乡之念，“悠然长啸动归兴”，这啸声，是对远方家乡的深切思念，也是对现状的一种无奈抒发。
最后，“坐久零露沾衣裳，浮世悲欢何足数，庾楼赤壁俱尘土。风流已往明月来，山色江声自今古。”长时间的静坐，让露水沾湿了衣裳，诗人意识到，世间的悲欢离合不过是过眼云烟，即便是历史上的庾亮楼、赤壁之战，也早已化为尘土。唯有明月依旧，山色江声，自古至今，恒久不变。这里，诗人以一种超然物外的态度，表达了对自然永恒、人生短暂的深刻认识。
整首诗通过对两度中秋的对比描写，展现了诗人从欢聚到孤寂，再到超然的心路历程。在月光的映照下，诗人不仅抒发了对家乡的思念，更表达了对人生、历史的深刻思考，情感真挚，意境深远。
