译文
天边金铜仙人掌上的托盘里，露水已凝结成霜，雁行一去是那么遥远，唯见云阔天长。绿酒杯，红袖女，趁着重阳佳节，大家来乐一场；人情之温暖，倒有几分像在家乡。 我佩带着紫茎的兰花，把几朵黄菊插在头上，竭力再做出从前那种狂放的模样。我想要用沉醉来换取悲凉，动人的歌声啊，千万别撩起我心中的哀伤！

注释
①金掌：铜仙人掌。汉武帝刘彻曾在建章宫筑神明台（一作柏梁台），上铸铜柱二十丈，有仙人掌托承露盘以伫露水，和玉屑服之，以求长生。
②绿杯：美酒。红袖：美女。▲

In the sky-kissing palm
Autumnal dew has turned to frost.
The clouds send off the wild geese
That in a symbolic array fly.
Green wine and red sleeves invite the ninth moon ninth,
Things here differ little from my home town.

I wear purple orchids in my dress,
I pin yellow chrysanthemums on my hair:
To old wantonness free rein I give.
Sadness I will change for drunkenness;
When I sing, let not sad songs
Lacerate my heart.▲
