唐代诗人李商隐著名诗句“夕阳无限好,只是近黄昏”(《乐游原》),其中的“只是”一般人都当作现代汉语的“只是”来理解。这种理解把诗意曲解为惋惜、遗憾和无奈。其实,中古近代汉语的“只是”并非转折连词,而是正面表示“正是”、“就是”之意的连词。诗意乃是赞赏、喜悦和肯定。作者喜悦地赞赏:正是黄昏时节,夕阳是多么好啊!周汝昌先生在《唐诗鉴赏辞典》中指出:李商隐本集中“只是”多见,皆非近代转折词意。 Tang Dynasty poet Li Shangyin famous poem “sunset is good, just near dusk ” (“Le Tour the original”), where “only ” most people are as modern Chinese “just ” to understand. This understanding distorts the poetic sense of regret, regret and helplessness. In fact, the “only” in modern Chinese is not a conjunctive one, but a conjunctive meaning in the positive meaning of “exactly” and “is”. Poetry is praise, joy and affirmation. The author delightfully commented: It is dusk season, the sunset is so good! Mr. Zhou Ruchang pointed out in the “Dictionary of Poetry Appreciation”: Li Shangyin concentrated “only ” more common, are not the turning point of modern times.
