元宵节其实才是古人的情人节：蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处……
正月十五闹元宵，团团圆圆过小年！元宵佳节来到，世纪君要先在这里祝福小伙伴们节日快乐，新年好运连连！元宵节，也叫做上元节、小正月、元夕、小年或灯节。这一天，一家人围坐一桌吃元宵，寓意团团圆圆；猜灯谜赏花灯，代表着红红火火。
元宵灯节还相当于古时的情人节，旧时年轻女孩养在深闺不允许随便外出，而上元节灯会时却可以结伴出来游玩，男女青年就有了相识结缘和相会诉情的机会。

因为元宵节的这一浪漫“属性”，古代的文人墨客们在这一天留下了许多美好的诗词佳句。欧阳修《生查子》云：“去年元夜时，花市灯如昼；月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。”辛弃疾《青玉案》词的后半段：“众里寻他千百度。蓦然回首，那人却在灯火阑珊处。”都是描述元宵夜情人相见的情境。今天咱们就来欣赏几首元宵节经典诗词，译文也同样唯美哦~
生查子•元夕
欧阳修
去年元夜时，花市灯如昼。
月上柳梢头，人约黄昏后。
今年元夜时，月与灯依旧。
不见去年人，泪湿春衫袖。
At Lantern Festival
In the Lantern Festival night of last year,
The flowers market was bright as daylight.
When the moon hung behind the willows,
Young people went out on dates under them.
In the Lantern Festival night of this year’s,
The moon and the lanterns were the same.
But I could not find last year's date of mine,
My sleeves of festival dress are wet with tears.
青玉案•元夕
辛弃疾
东风夜放花千树，更吹落，星如雨。
宝马雕车香满路，凤萧声动，玉壶光转，一夜鱼龙舞。
蛾儿雪柳黄金缕，笑语盈盈暗香去。
众里寻他千百度，蓦然回首，那人却在，灯火阑珊处。
The Lantern Festival Night - to the tune of Green Jade Table
One night's east wind adorns a thousand trees with flowers
And blows down stars in showers.
Fine steeds and carved cabs spread fragrance en route;
Music vibrates from the flute;
The moon sheds its full light,
While fish and dragon lanterns dance all night.
In gold-thread dress, with moth or willow ornaments,
Giggling, she melts into the throng with trails of scents.
But in the crowd once and again
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is dimly shed.
正月十五夜
苏味道
火树银花合，星桥铁锁开。
暗尘随马去，明月逐人来。
游妓皆秾李，行歌尽落梅。
金吾不禁夜，玉漏莫相催。
The Lantern Festival Night
The light is brightly, tonight the no-go area is opening.
The horse gallop that stirred up the dust, the moon seemed to follow the people.
The young singing girls look more beautiful, they walk and sing songs.
The capital guards does not work tonight, the drum will not urge the people back home.
元宵节你怎么过呢？
