唐人送别诗极多（仅《全唐诗》送别类逾千首），但多数停留在“路远、酒别、勿忘我”三层。王维的突破在于：

• 以景截情：不直说愁，用“客舍青青柳色新”“白云无尽时”“孤城当落晖”把离愁折进山水，开创“淡语深情”一派。
• 禅意入别：《送别》（下马饮君酒）末句“白云无尽时”，把仕途失意、归隐之劝化作时空无尽的从容，是陶潜之后少有的“以禅理遣别情”。
• 南北风物并用：你集子里《送梓州李使君》写巴蜀“山中一夜雨，树杪百重泉”、《送杨少府贬郴州》写湘赣瘴浪、《送邢桂州》写京口洞庭——他把送别变成“地理行旅诗”，后世杜牧、苏轼题跋、明清送行画皆沿此路。

本辑甄选了王维送别名篇13首。王维的送别诗感情真挚，意境悠远，既有“西出阳关无故人”的深沉，也有“白云无尽时”的旷达。信达雅英译，兼顾功能对等、归化、异化、“三美论”，以诗译诗，助力其文化出海。

1.《送元二使安西》

渭城朝雨浥轻尘，客舍青青柳色新。

劝君更尽一杯酒，西出阳关无故人。

勘校：

客舍青青柳色新：一作客舍依依杨柳春

Farewell to Yuan the Second on His Mission to Anxi

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

Morning rain at Weicheng lays the light dust low;

Green, green the tavern willows in new spring glow.

One more cup, friend—drain it before you go;

West of Yangguan Pass, no old friend you will know.

2.《送别》

山中相送罢，日暮掩柴扉。

春草明年（一作“年年”）绿，王孙归不归？

Farewell in the Hills

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

In the hills I saw my friend depart;

At dusk I latch my wicket door.

When spring grass turns green, will my heart

See my dear recluse come once more?

3.《送别》

下马饮君酒，问君何所之？

君言不得意，归卧南山陲。

但去莫复问，白云无尽时。

A Toast at Parting

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

I dismount, pour wine and bid you stay;

Where does your wandering pathway stray?

You say your hopes have all run low,

To South Peak’s foot your rest to know.

Go forth, no more my questions bide;

White clouds stretch far, no end beside.

4.《送梓州李使君》

万壑树参天，千山响杜鹃。

山中一夜雨，树杪百重泉。

汉女输橦布，巴人讼芋田。

文翁翻教授，不敢倚先贤。

勘校：

1）倚，一作“依”；

2）一夜，一作“一半”。

To Prefect Li Bound for Zizhou

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

A thousand gorges rear their trees to sky;

A thousand hills with cuckoo cries reply.

One night of rain within the mountain fold—

A hundred springs from treetops drip in gold.

Shu girls weave ramie for the tribute load;

Ba farmers wrangle over taro ground.

Yet Wenweng taught—we dare not rest on old,

But make new virtue where old sages frowned.

5.《送张五归山》

送君尽惆怅，复送何人归。

几日同携手，一朝先拂衣。

东山有茅屋，幸为扫荆扉。

当亦谢官去，岂令心事违。

Bidding Zhang Wu Return to Hills

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

To see you go—what grief I hold!

Whom else shall I escort, grown old?

We walked hand in hand for days,

Now you cast off your robes of praise.

East Hill—a thatched hut waits for you;

Sweep wide its briar gate, I pray.

I too shall quit my post one day—

Why should true will be never true?

6.《送杨少府贬郴州》

明到衡山与洞庭，若为秋月听猿声。

愁看北渚三湘远，恶说南风五两轻。

青草瘴时过夏口，白头浪里出湓城。

长沙不久留才子，贾谊何须吊屈平。

To Magistrate Yang Exiled to Chenzhou

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

By dawn you’ll see Mount Heng and Dongting’s tide—

How bear the gibbon’s moan when moons are bright?

I dread the southern breeze that blows too light;

I grieve the distant isles where waters glide.

Through summer miasma you’ll cross Xiakou’s strait;

Through white-capped waves you’ll leave Pengcheng’s gate.

But Changsha keeps no talent long in chains—

Why should you mourn as Jia Yi mourned his pains?

7.《临高台送黎拾遗》

相送临高台，川原杳何极。

日暮飞鸟还，行人去不息。

On High Terrace, Bidding Censor Li Farewell

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

From the high terrace I watch you go—

The plains stretch dim, no end in show.

At dusk birds hurry home to rest;

But the traveler leaves, never to arrest.

8.《送从弟蕃游淮南》

读书复骑射，带剑游淮阴。

淮阴少年辈，千里远相寻。

高义难自隐，明时宁陆沈。

岛夷九州外，泉馆三山深。

席帆聊问罪，卉服尽成擒。

归来见天子，拜爵赐黄金。

忽思鲈鱼鲙，复有沧洲心。

天寒蒹葭渚，日露云梦林。

江城下枫叶，淮上闻秋砧。

送归青门外，车马去骎骎。

惆怅新丰树，空余天际禽。

To My Cousin Fan, Bound for Huainan

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

He pores o’er texts, yet masters bow and spear;

With sword at side, to Huaiyin he steers.

The youthful gallants of Huaiyin’s shore,

Will travel thousand li his steps to explore.

His noble virtue cannot lie concealed;

In bright reigns none in lowly depths shall yield.

Barbarian isles beyond our realm extend;

Fairy springs lie deep where three peaks bend.

He hoists his sail to chastise rebel bands;

All clad in grass robes fall beneath his hands.

When home he comes to greet the sovereign’s throne,

Rank and bright gold shall be his rightful loan.

Then sudden yearning for perch slices rise,

A longing for green marshlands fills his eyes.

When cold winds sweep the reed-fringed river shore,

Dawn light lays bare Yunmeng’s wooded floor.

Maple leaves drift down the river town’s height;

Autumn mallets ring through Huai’s soft twilight.

I send him forth outside Green Gate’s frame;

His horse and cart rush fast, away they claim.

I grieve beneath Xinfeng’s leaf-laden tree;

Only wild birds drift far where heavens are free.

9.《送沈子福归江东》

杨柳渡头行客稀，罟师荡桨向临圻。

唯有相思似春色，江南江北送君归。

Bidding Master Shen Zifu Back to Jiangdong

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

By the willow ferry few wayfarers stay;

The boatman pulls his oars toward Linqi’s bay.

My longing, like spring’s color, spreads so wide—

South and north of the River, it attends your tide.

10.《送綦毋潜落第还乡》（一作送别）

圣代无隐者，英灵尽来归。遂令东山客，不得顾采薇。

既至金门远，孰云吾道非。江淮度寒食，京洛缝春衣。

置酒长安道，同心与我违。行当浮桂棹，未几拂荆扉。

远树带行客，孤城当落晖。吾谋适不用，勿谓知音稀。

勘校：

1）“孰云吾道非”：金门一作君门；

2)“置酒长安道”：长安道一作临长道；

3)“孤城当落晖”：孤城一作孤村；

To Qiwu Qian, Returning Home After Failing the Exam

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

This blessed age lets no wise hermit hide;

All gifted souls to court’s bright gates abide.

Thus you, East Hill’s recluse, may not go gather fern,

Though far the golden gate, your path you need not spurn.

You’ll cross Huai and Yangtze through Cold Food’s mild air;

Sew springtime robes within Chang’an’s town square.

I pour wine by the capital’s dusty way;

A heart once knit now wanders far away.

Soon you’ll float on cassia boat’s soft sweep,

Ere long you’ll brush your wicket gate in sleep.

Tall distant trees enfold your lonely form;

One lone town meets the sunset’s glowing charm.

Our schemes were spurned, yet grieve not deep within;

Think not no kindred soul shall know your tune.

11.《送丘为落第归江东》

怜君不得意，况复柳条春。

为客黄金尽，还家白发新。

五湖三亩宅，万里一归人。

知祢不能荐，羞为献纳臣。

To Qiu Wei, Bound for Jiangdong After Exam Failure

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

I pity you whose hopes are low,

And willow-tendrils sting with spring.

Your gold is spent, your hair turns snow —

A lone man homeward wandering.

Three acres by the Five Lakes stand;

Ten thousand li — one traveler’s track.

I know your worth — but powerless hand —

As court advisor, shame draws back.

12.《送邢桂州》

铙吹喧京口，风波下洞庭。

赭圻将赤岸，击汰复扬舲。

日落江湖白，潮来天地青。

明珠归合浦，应逐使臣星。

Bidding Xing Farewell to Guizhou

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

Drums and horns clamor by Jingkou’s shore;

Through wind and wave you sail to Dongting’s floor.

Past Ochre Mound and Red Bank’s sandy side,

You strike the foam and let your galleon glide.

Sunset turns river-lake to milky white;

Tide-rise dyes heaven-earth in azure light.

The pearl returns to Hepu’s ancient strand—

You ride the star of envoy, sea and land.

13.《送赵都督赴代州得青字》

天官动将星，汉上柳条青。

万里鸣刁斗，三军出井陉。

忘身辞凤阙，报国取龙庭。

岂学书生辈，窗间老一经。

勘校：

汉上柳条青，上，一作“地”。

To Commander Zhao Marching to Dai Prefecture

By Wang Wei (Tang Dynasty)

Translated by Wang Yongli

The General’s Star stirs in heaven’s hall;

By Han’s green river willows fall.

For miles the watch-drum’s warning cries;

Three armies march through Jingxing’s rise.

You leave the Phoenix Tower, fearless, bold,

To seize the Dragon Court—a warrior’s hold.

Why be like scholars, pale and tame,

Who age by windows o’er one ancient name?
