高考真考《琵琶行》了！原唱回应
双语君约 4 分钟6月7日，2026年高考首日。
高考语文全国二卷古诗文默写中，考了白居易的《琵琶行》，“五陵年少争缠头，一曲红绡不知数”成为答案。
A line from Bai Juyi's classic poem Pipa Xing (Song of a Pipa Player) appeared in the ancient poetry memorization section of China's national college entrance examination on Sunday, sparking widespread discussion online.
The answer, "The gallant young men vied to shower gifts on me; One tune played, countless silk rolls were given with glee," quickly drew attention from students, as a popular song adaptation of Pipa Xing has long been widely shared among exam candidates and jokingly dubbed the "exam anthem".
As the topic surged on social media, singer Qiran liya posted a message congratulating students and wishing them success in the remaining exams.
据悉，现代国风歌曲版《琵琶行》以白居易原诗全文为歌词，编曲融合传统器乐与现代流行元素。
The modern Chinese-style song uses Bai's original poem as its lyrics. Qiran liya and other musicians have also adapted required classical texts into songs to help students memorize them more easily.

琵琶行（节选）
Song of a Pipa Player
作者：白居易（唐）
译者：许渊冲
浔阳江头夜送客，枫叶荻花秋瑟瑟。
One night by riverside I bade a friend goodbye;
In maple leaves and rushes autumn seemed to sigh.
主人下马客在船，举酒欲饮无管弦。
醉不成欢惨将别，别时茫茫江浸月。
My friend and I dismounted and came into the boat;
Without flute songs we drank our cups with heavy heart;
The moonbeams blent with water when we were to part.
忽闻水上琵琶声，主人忘归客不发。
Suddenly o'er the stream we heard a pipa sound;
I forgot to go home and the guest stood spell-bound.
寻声暗问弹者谁？琵琶声停欲语迟。
We followed where the music led to find the player,
But heard the pipa stop and no music in the air.
移船相近邀相见，添酒回灯重开宴。
We moved our boat towards the one whence came the strain,
Brought back the lamp, asked for more wine and drank again.
千呼万唤始出来，犹抱琵琶半遮面。
Repeatedly we called for the fair player till
She came, her face half hidden behind a pipa still.
转轴拨弦三两声，未成曲调先有情。
She turned the pegs and tested twice or thrice each string;
Before a tune was played we heard her feelings sing.
弦弦掩抑声声思，似诉平生不得志。
Each string she plucked, each note she struck with pathos strong,
All seemed to say she'd missed her dreams all her life long.
低眉信手续续弹，说尽心中无限事。
Head bent, she played with unpremeditated art
On and on to pour out her overflowing heart.
轻拢慢捻抹复挑，初为《霓裳》后《六幺》。
She lightly plucked, slowly stroked and twanged loud
The song of "Green Waist" after that of "Rainbow Cloud".
大弦嘈嘈如急雨，小弦切切如私语。
The thick strings loudly thrummed like the pattering rain;
The fine strings softly tinkled in a murmuring strain.
嘈嘈切切错杂弹，大珠小珠落玉盘。
间关莺语花底滑，幽咽泉流冰下难。
When mingling loud and soft notes were together played,
You heard orioles warble in a flowery land,
Then a sobbing stream run along a beach of sand.
冰泉冷涩弦凝绝，凝绝不通声暂歇。
But the stream seemed so cold as to tighten the string;
From tightened strings no more sound could be heard to sing.
别有幽愁暗恨生，此时无声胜有声。
Still we heard hidden grief and vague regret concealed;
Then music expressed far less than silence revealed.
