《登高》是唐代伟大诗人杜甫于大历二年（767）秋天在夔州所作的一首七律。前四句写景，述登高见闻，紧扣秋天的季节特色，描绘了江边空旷寂寥的景致。首联为局部近景，颔联为整体远景。后四句抒情，写登高所感，围绕作者自己的身世遭遇，抒发了穷困潦倒、年老多病、流寓他乡的悲哀之情。颈联自伤身世，将前四句写景所蕴含的比兴、象征、暗示之意揭出；尾联再作申述，以衰愁病苦的自我形象收束。此诗语言精练，通篇对偶，一二句尚有句中对，充分显示了杜甫晚年对诗歌语言声律的把握运用已达圆通之境。

杜甫 《登高》

风急天高猿啸哀，渚清沙白鸟飞回。
无边落木萧萧下，不尽长江滚滚来。
万里悲秋常作客，百年多病独登台。
艰难苦恨繁霜鬓，潦倒新停浊酒杯。

On the Height
Du Fu

The wind so swift, the sky so wide, apes wail and cry;
Water so clear and beach so white, birds wheel and fly.
The boundless forest sheds its leaves shower by shower;
The endless river rolls its waves hour after hour,
A thousand miles from home, I’m grieved at autumn’s plight;
Ill now and then for years, alone I’m on this height,
Living in times so hard, at frosted hair I pine;
Cast down by poverty, I have to give up wine.
