《塞下曲》作品评述：【注解】：１、黯黯：同“暗暗”；２、临洮：今甘肃岷县一带，是长城起点。３、咸：都。【简析】：写出征战的残酷，具有强烈的人民性和历史的纵深感。语言简炼，极富表现力。这首乐府曲是以长城为背景，描绘战争的悲惨残酷。诗的前四句写塞外晚秋时节，平沙日落的荒凉景象；后四句写长城一带，历来是战场，白骨成丘，景象荒凉。全诗写得触目惊心，表达了非战思想。UNDER A BORDER-FORTRESSDrink, 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. 一直查诗词大全
