荆棘

But suppose in spring the farmer had left the soil unturned, the seed unsown, the trees untrimmed, and everything neglected, what would now be the result We should see nothing but barren fields, overrun with weeds and biers; and the farmer would feel that a winter of want and distress is before him.

但是，假定农民们在春天土地不耕，种籽不播，果实不修剪，什么都不干，那么现在会是什么结果呢？我们只会看到贫瘠的土地，野草疯长，荆棘丛生。这个时候农民们就会感觉到，一个匮乏而忧伤的冬季就在他们面前。

In an offical careen between pain and joy, SuShi have gone through all kinds of hardships and difficulties. From early smooth sailing to late overgrown with brambles; From fall of vigor and vitality in his youth to full of carefree and confidence in HangZhou provincial governor; From limitless patriotic emotion in MiZhou provincial governor to tranquil spirit world during the exile in HuangZhou、HuiZhou and DanZhou,under influence of above factors, his Ci written was obviously divided into three stages: first, major of early HangZhou Ci was composed of unworried languange; second, major of MiZhou Ci was composed of unrestrained languange; third, major of HuangZhou、HuiZhou and DanZhou Ci was composed of broad-minded languange. However, whether unworried, unrestrained or broad-minded, it underlyingly reflected SuShi's depression in life.

在宦海沉浮中，苏轼历经磨难，从刚开始的一帆风顺到后期的荆棘丛生，从少年时的万丈豪气到杭州刺使任上的明艳亮丽，从密州刺使任上的无限爱国热情到流放黄州、密州、儋州的逐渐平静的心灵世界，这些都影响到他的词作，使他的词作明显的分成了三个阶段：一是由早期杭州词为主体构成的明艳语，二是由密州词为主体构成的狂放语，三是由黄州词为主体构成的旷达语，但是，不管是明艳、狂放还是旷达，其中在深层次里都流淌着苏轼人生失意的苦泪。
