"When did the bright moon first appear? I hold a glass to the heavens to ask, what date can it be in the divine imperial palace? Human life is full of both joys and sorrows, just as the moon waxes and wanes, and makes it hard to get satisfaction. If only men could live longer on the earth, although a thousand miles apart, they could both enjoy the beautiful glimmer of the same moonlight."

很有创意啊，确实豪放派的风格多为乐观豁达，所以这首词中也同样表现出了这种精神，苏轼把人世间的悲欢离合之情纳入对宇宙人生的哲理追寻之中，虽有离别的愁绪，更有对生活的憧憬与希冀。

hěnyǒu chuàngyì ā ，quèshí háofàng pài de fēnggé duō wèi lèguān huòdá ，suǒyǐ zhè shǒu cí zhōng yě tóngyàng biǎoxiànchū le zhèzhǒng jīngshén ，Sū Shì bǎ rénshìjiān de bēihuānlíhé zhī qíng nàrù duì yǔzhòu rénshēng de zhélǐ zhuīxún zhīzhōng ，suī yǒu líbié de chóuxù ，gèng yǒu duì shēnghuó de chōngjǐng yǔ xījì 。

That's so creative, the style of the unrestrained school is more optimistic and sanguine, so this ci poem reflects this spirit. Su Shi incorporates the joys and sorrows of the world into the search for a philosophical theory of life in the universe. Although there are partings and sorrow, there is also hope and longing for life.

这一句确实是经典，苏轼也确实是大文豪，只字片语就将宇宙人世的道理道明，以月亮的圆缺类比人世的离合，虽无法两全却可以善处。

zhè yī jù quèshí shì jīngdiǎn ，Sū Shì yě quèshí shì dàwénháo ，zhīzìpiànyǔ jiù jiāng yǔzhòu rénshì de dàolǐ dào míng ，yǐ yuèliàng de yuán quē lèibǐ rénshì de líhé ，suī wúfǎ liǎngquán què kěyǐ shàn chǔ 。

This line is indeed a classic, Su Shi was also indeed a master. With just a few words he can capture the logic of the world and the universe, using the phases of the moon as a metaphor for the meeting and parting in the world. Although you can't have everything, you can come to a good compromise.
