Drinking Alone under the Moon
李白
花间一壶酒
独酌无相亲
举杯邀明月
对影成三人

花间一壶酒，独自饮没有亲友；举杯邀请明月，对着影子成了三人。
Alone with wine; invite the moon and shadow—now there are three.
李白《月下独酌》：举杯邀明月——影、月、人成三人。孤独被写成一场小型宴会。可与《将进酒》并读：独与众。今日：一个人吃饭时，仍可郑重举杯，不必自贬为可怜。
Li Bai’s Drinking Alone under the Moon: raise a cup to invite the moon—shadow, moon, self as three. Solitude staged as a small banquet. Pair with Bring in the Wine: alone vs company. Today: eating alone, you may still toast with dignity—not self-pity.
一个人吃饭时，也可以「邀」一点仪式——不只是将就。
Even a solo meal can invite a little ritual—not mere making-do.
