這首詞以“少年”與“而今”對比，表達了一種深刻的人生感受。上片說少年時登高望遠，氣壯如山，不識愁為何物。無愁說愁，是詩詞中常見的文人習氣。下片轉入“而今”，轉折有力，不僅顯示時間跨度，而且反映了不同的人生經歷。在涉世既深又飽經憂患之餘，進入“識盡愁滋味”的階段。所謂“識盡”，一是愁多，二是愁深。這些多而且深的愁，有的不能說，有的不便說，而且“識盡”而說不盡，說之亦復何益？只能“卻道新涼好個秋”了。比之少時的幼稚，這或許是老練成熟多了。其實“卻道”也是一種“強說”。故意說得輕鬆灑脫，實際上也是難以擺脫心頭的沉重抑塞。周濟說辛詞“變溫婉，成悲涼”。讀此詞者，當能辨之。

詞:辛棄疾（宋）曲:鍾肇峰

少年不識愁滋味
When young, I knew not the taste of sorrow,

愛上層樓 But loved to mount the high towers;
愛上層樓 I loved to mount the high towers

為賦新詞強說愁
To compose a new song, urging myself to talk about sorrow.

而今識盡愁滋味
Now that I have known all the taste of sorrow,

欲說還休 I would like to talk about it, but refrain;
欲說還休 I would like to talk about it, but refrain,

卻道天涼好個秋
And say merely: "It is chilly; what a fine autumn
