《秋浦歌》组诗共十七首，是李白漫游皖南秋浦时期的代表作，属于李白中后期山水抒情诗典范。
题材突破：跳出盛唐山水诗单纯描摹风光的范式，把山水风物、民间冶铜劳动景象、个人身世悲愤融为一体。其中“白发三千丈”（其十五）家喻户晓，成为中国文学夸张修辞的巅峰范本。
艺术价值：以极度浪漫的想象、直白炽热的抒情，将怀才不遇、年华老去的愁绪具象化；既有浪漫主义飘逸气质，又罕见记录唐代冶炼手工业场面（炉火照天地一首），兼具文学审美与史料价值。
文学史地位：是盛唐浪漫诗歌标志性名篇；“白发三千丈，缘愁似个长” 凝练了东方 “以物喻愁” 的抒情传统，千百年来成为写愁的经典范式，影响后世无数诗词创作，普及度极高，是古典诗歌入门必读篇目。
英译出海的重要价值
一是，传播李白浪漫诗学内核：西方读者熟悉史诗、戏剧抒情，很难理解中式含蓄夸张。精准英译能够传递李白独有的狂放想象、生命悲慨，让海外认识中国浪漫主义诗歌并非只有山水闲情，饱含个体命运的精神呐喊。
二是，展示独特东方美学范式：“白发三千丈” 极致夸张是汉语诗歌独有的艺术手法。优秀译本向世界呈现汉语不重写实、重情志写意的审美体系，区别于西方写实传统，推动中外诗学对话。
三是，承载唐代社会多元图景：《秋浦歌・炉火照天地》描绘古代冶炼场景，英译出海不单是文学输出，也向外展示唐代手工业、民间生活图景，破除海外对唐诗只有边塞、宫廷、隐逸的刻板印象。
四是，搭建古典诗词跨文化桥梁：这首诗流传广、意象鲜明、辨识度高，是唐诗海外传播的优选文本。高质量译本能够成为海外汉学教学、大众了解唐诗的经典素材，助力中华诗歌文化长效对外传播。
AutumnRiver Ballads (Seventeen Poems)
ByLi Bai
Translatedby Wang Yongli
其一
秋浦长似秋，萧条使人愁。
客愁不可度，行上东大楼。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.1
TheAutumn River drinks its autumn hue all year,
Its hush, a grief too deep for cheer.
No soul can bear this exile's heavy brand,
I mount the East Tower — a lone man against the land.
其二
秋浦猿夜愁，黄山堪白头。
清溪非陇水，翻作断肠流。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.2
Theapes wail autumn through the night's black shroud,
Yellow Mount peaks—white, like an old man's brow.
This stream is not the Long that weeps apart,
Yet breaks all hearts that sail its current tart.
其三
秋浦锦驼鸟，人间天上稀。
山鸡羞渌水，不敢照毛衣。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.3
Thebrocade ostrich by the Autumn stream—
A wonder scarce in heaven, rarer in earth's dream.
The hill-born fowl, too shamed to preen its coat,
Dares not glance down at that clear mirror-moat.
其四
两鬓入秋浦，一朝飒已衰。
猿声催白发，长短尽成丝。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.4
Mytemples touch the river's autumn chill—
In one dawn's space, my youth lies cold and still.
The apes' cries fling white frost upon my hair,
Each lock—long, short—a skein of despair.
其五
秋浦多白猿，超腾若飞雪。
牵引条上儿，饮弄水中月。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.5
Whiteapes throng the Autumn shore—a snowy flight,
They bound like flurries through the airy light.
They dangle young from boughs that bend and swing,
And scoop the moon from water's glassy ring.
其六
愁作秋浦客，强看秋浦花。
山川如剡县，风日似长沙。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.6
Agrieving guest by Autumn River's strand,
I force my eyes to bloom—but not command.
Hills mirror Yan's fair scroll, stream by stream,
And winds blow Changsha's warmth—yet all a dream.
其七
醉上山公马，寒歌宁戚牛。
空吟白石烂，泪满黑貂裘。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.7
Drunkon Lord Shan's horse—I ride the gale,
Like Ning Qi, I chant where oxen trail.
The White Stone tune falls on the void and cold—
Tears soak my sable robe, a story told.
其八
秋浦千重岭，水车岭最奇。
天倾欲堕石，水拂寄生枝。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.8
Athousand folds of ridge the Autumn curls,
Waterwheel crag—the strangest of all whirls.
Stones lean as if the sky must crash and drown,
While waves caress the vines that hang adown.
其九
江祖一片石，青天扫画屏。
题诗留万古，绿字锦苔生。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.9
Asingle rock stands by the Ancestor's stream—
A painted screen against the sky's blue gleam.
Inscribed verse lives ten thousand autumns long,
Green moss-charms weave a silken, brocade song.
其十
千千石楠树，万万女贞林。
山山白鹭满，涧涧白猿吟。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.10
Thousandfoldphotinias, proud in row on row,
Myriad privet groves—where shades of darkness grow.
Each hill is brushed with egrets' drifting white,
Each vale re-echoes apes' cry through the night.
其十一
逻人横鸟道，江祖出鱼梁。
水急客舟疾，山花拂面香。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.11
Theguard-tower bars the bird-track, cliff-bare,
By Ancestor's Rock the fish-weirs snare.
The current races—my skiff drinks the spray,
And mountain blossoms kiss my face with fay.
其十二
水如一匹练，此地即平天。
耐可乘明月，看花上酒船。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.12
Thewater—a bolt of silk, unrolled and wide;
This Flat Sky lake, where earth and heaven bide.
O, to mount the bright moon's silver wheel,
And sail with blooms—a wine-cask at my heel!
其十三
渌水净素月，月明白鹭飞。
郎听采菱女，一道夜歌归。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.13
Thegreen wave washes the moon's silver face,
Moonlight glows—egrets leave their trace.
The lotus-maids' sweet chant rings from the shore,
We row homeward, one song, evermore.
其十四
炉火照天地，红星乱紫烟。
赧郎明月夜，歌曲动寒川。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.14
Theforge-fire flames—heaven and earth are burned,
Red stars spit through the purple smoke upturned.
Young smiths, with cheeks of blush in moonlight bare,
Chant songs that shake the cold stream's wintry air.
其十五
白发三千丈，缘愁似个长。
不知明镜里，何处得秋霜。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.15
Mywhitening hair—three thousand fathoms deep!
Such length of woe, such fathomless grief to keep.
I stare into the mirror's glassy gleam—
Whence crept this autumn frost upon my dream?
其十六
秋浦田舍翁，采鱼水中宿。
妻子张白鹇，结罝映深竹。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.16
Anold man by the Autumn stream abides,
He sleeps on waves, where the water glides.
His wife and child guard the silver pheasant's flight,
And set their snares where bamboos hide the light.
其十七
祧波一步地，了了语声闻。
黯与山僧别，低头礼白云。
AutumnRiver Ballads，Poem No.17
Onestep to Peach-Wave's brink—so near, so clear,
Each human word rings faint and thin to hear.
I bid the hill-bound monk a silent goodbye,
And bow my head—to the white cloud drifting by.
