第一段：以恢弘的视野鼓舞人心
竹外桃花三两枝，春江水暖鸭先知。蒌蒿满地芦芽短，正是河豚欲上时。
这一段写的是作者在滕王阁居高临下，俯瞰江南的美景：“竹外桃花三两枝”描绘的是桃花泛着淡淡的红色，微风吹起，桃花箱香四溢的景象；“春江水暖鸭先知”的景象是由江南春天提供，温水呷饮的鸭子先感受到春水的温暖，成为预示春天的先知；“蒌蒿满地芦芽短”则是形容江南的气候和植被。作者用朴实的语言，刻画出自己足迹落在江南土地上时的美景。
Peach blossoms outside of bamboo shading, ducks know the river's warmness ahead. Artemisia leaves hide short reed shoots abound with fullness, now's the time for puffer fish rise from the bed.
The first paragraph of the essay describes the author, perched high at the Tengwang Pavilion, viewing the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan. “Peach blossoms outside of bamboo shading” describes the light red peach blossoms blowing in the wind, with the fragrance of the flowers filling the air. “Ducks know the river's warmness ahead” predicts the arrival of spring, with the ducks drinking the warm water in the Jiangnan area taking it as the sign of the coming warm season. “Artemisia leaves hide short reed shoots abound with fullness” describes the climate and vegetation of the Jiangnan area. The author uses a simple language to depict the beautiful scenery he witnessed when visiting Jiangnan.
第二段：引用历史为今世慷慨悲歌
岭外音书断，经冬复历春。近乡情更怯，不敢问来人。
作者由自己对江南的赞美，引出了滕王阁的历史与承载的深远：“岭外音书断，经冬复历春。”北京之南，南京之北，历经数年战乱之后，岭南无信之谓。阁在隋唐年间所建，此时十分雄伟，但万般无奈之下只能唏嘘叹息：近乡情更怯，不敢问来人。作者在描写困境时，由“辞严色暎”的高度，强调了自己身为文化名流的不居之避及愧疚心理。
There is no news from beyond the mountains, longing for spring's return after winter has gone. Seeing neighbors, one dreads to ask in detailed accounts, being short with one's greeting and the talks on.
In this paragraph, the author depicts the history and deep roots of the Tengwang Pavilion, taking his praise of Jiangnan as a prelude. “There is no news from beyond the mountains, longing for spring's return after winter has gone.” This line describes the abominably state of Lingnan after several years of war. The Tengwang Pavilion was built during the Sui and Tang dynasties and was imposing at that moment. However, due to the powers of that time and various conflicting interests, the architecture was unfortunately destroyed. \"Seeing neighbors, one dreads to ask in detailed accounts\" highlights the author's sense of guilt for not speaking out or taking actions to protect it.
第三段：明发人生宏图，豁然开朗万事如意
东邻西接之非人，青苹红杏弹琵琶。家有女儿幽并嫁，邻家儿郎才可
这一段作者说的是，既然先人寄予了厚望、聚眾辟地，便应進一步明发人生宏图。在蘇轼論書史中，滕勧斷官軍曹懐安因勸止史可法伐清而被斬的失職事跡被贊譽為“豁然開朗”；而寧靖大數十年，弱化的士人長期扮演着對社會生活的積極影響角色，便給了文藝復興以養分: (臺) “东邻西接之非人，青苹红杏弹琵琶。家有女儿幽并嫁，邻家儿郎才可夸”。她認為自己潛在遇到了生活中最艱難的時刻，在這樣的前提下，應該更加積極地投身於有益之事。
To the east and west, there are bamboo forests and beautiful peach blossoms where pipa is played beautifully. The neighbors have a beautiful daughter who is about to get married; only their talented son is fit enough to boast to relatives and friends.
In this paragraph, the author emphasizes that since the ancestors have entrusted us with responsibilities, it is necessary to further develop the grand blueprint of life. In Su Shi's views, Teng Qian's failure to persuade Cao Huai'an, a general of the Qing army, to stop attacking resulted in his execution, and he admired this incident as \"suddenly enlightened\". In the decades of peace and tranquility, scholars who were weaker, however long played an active role in the social life, thus giving a nourishing foundation for the Renaissance. \"To the east and west, there are bamboo forests and beautiful peach blossoms where pipa is played beautifully. The neighbors have a beautiful daughter who is about to get married; only their talented son is fit enough to boast to relatives and friends\" describes the marriage of the daughter and son of the neighbor, which reflects the difficult social situation, and the potential aspects occurs. The author believes that it is essential to commit to the struggle of the beneficial things at that time.
《滕王阁序》既怀古描奇，又写景抒情，内容兼而有之。不仅赞美了江南的美景，也强调了滕王阁的历史与深远。《滕王阁序》语言简练，朴实自然，思想深刻，表现出王勃深厚的文学功底及高度的文化素养。这篇千古文豪，更为我们留下了一份向前不断努力、积极进取的人生态度。
