Module 9 Friendship 阅读理解（含解析）外研版八年级下册英语题型专项集训 Farewell (送别) to Liu Yu By Li Qi In the eighth moon the reed (芦苇) cold grows, The autumn waves with white crest (浪头). The mast (桅杆) shakes as north wind blows; Why should my guest go to the west The rain no longer drop down on hilltop; Out of the door rises the evening tide (潮汐). At night along the beach my friend should stop. Hear a lonely wild goose (大雁) cry by riverside! The poem Farewell to Liu Yu was an ancient poem written by Li Qi, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The poem was made up of eight lines, which can be divided into two parts. The first four lines were the first part of the poem, which started with writing the views. This poet used the cold reeds in the wind to lightly point out the parting emotions (离别情绪). However, on the moment of parting, Li Qi didn’t write the sad views to express his sorrow, but focused on the white waves of the autumn river, describing the environment. This way of writing has made this parting poem not so sad. The second part of the poem expressed Li’s best wishes after Li Yu’s leaving. He wished that the weather would change from rainy to clear, and the ship would sail with the tide, so that his friend’s journey could go smoothly. Li also did well in turning his feelings into pictures.
