A White Peony Grows Alone in the Mountains

A white peony grows alone in the mountains,

And just across a mountain ridge,

A red peony grows tall like a tree;

I love and miss you with all my heart,

But my words cannot reach you,

And there is none in whom I can confide.

【提示】

“给”在方言里用在动词或形容词后面，起强调作用。

“了”在标准普通话里被定义为助词。主要用在动词或形容词后面，表示动作或变化已经完成。在西北方言中多读作“liǎo”，该读音属于开口韵，唱起来上口，该字在花儿结尾常被使用。在上面这首花儿中，四句末尾的“了”是语气助词，形成排比、递进的气势，用以增强主人公喜怒哀乐的各种情感。 A314MWmbtW7eAGLLMopUlYjqZTnifBI0DjjSH0gIIuW3NEggOp1vytMfve5kiY5G
