“诗以达意”。久居海外的游子不时会涌起思乡之情。除了给家人打个电话，有没有想过用一首诗歌来表达？今天我们要欣赏的诗歌--《静夜思》恰好表达了这种乡愁。
"Poetry is used to convey one's affection".  Those who live abroad are filled with homesickness at times. Have you thought about using a poem to express the feeling besides a family call?  Today we'll appreciate of the poem- "Night Thoughts" which just  conveys the feeling of nostalgia.

静夜思

【唐】李白

床前明月光，
疑是地上霜。
举头望明月，
低头思故乡。

Night Thoughts

[The Tang Dynasty] Li Bai

In front of my bed the moonlight is very bright,
I wonder if that can be frost on the floor.
I list up my head and look at the full noon, the dazzling moon,
I drop my head, and think of the home of old days.
