Unit 2 Let’s talk teens
Welcome to the unit
What is the song about?
I don’t know what “home” is, but unhappiness and worries melt away once there.
—Bing Xin
“家” 是什么,我不知道;但烦闷忧愁,都在此中融化消灭!
Lead-in
a warm bed
a nice meal
a helping hand
a place to grow
What does “home” mean to you?
Rhythm here means a strong regular repeated pattern of sounds, for example,
If winter comes, can
spring be far behind?
(→轻读;↑重读)
rhythm是「节奏」,主要是音乐里面周期性复现的强弱元素。
A rhyme is a word which has the same sound or ends with the same sound as another word; for example, “care” is a rhyme for “there”.
rhyme在严格意义上是「尾韵」,即是词尾相似或重复的发音,这在中外诗歌以及歌词中都是很重要的修辞形式。

rhythm & rhyme
Describe Mother Bird’s feelings in the poem.
从早到晚,鸟儿妈妈随时待命,
直到她的孩子长大,可以离开温暖的家。
鸟儿妈妈,用她全部的关爱,
渴望给孩子们最好的关怀。
鸟儿妈妈常担心,日复一日——
她的孩子很快就要长大了。
它会兴奋地跳开,
展开翅膀,独自飞翔。
然而,她知道,她必须让孩子飞翔,
越过山丘,掠过天空,
在她仔细的注视下。
She has mixed feelings about her baby:
◆ On the one hand, she is very protective of her baby.She is worried about its flying away by itself.
◆ On the other hand, she understands that when her baby has grown up she will have to give it more freedom. However, she will always be there for her baby.
How would you describe Mother Bird’s feelings in the poem?
Song of the Parting Son
Comparison
A thread in one hand of the loving mother,
A dress of the parting son in the other.
She sews stitch by stitch: his departure’s near,
For fear that he won’t be home in many a year.
Who can tell, how much should the son impart,
To well reward the loving mother’s heart?
游子吟
慈母手中线,游子身上衣。
临行密密缝,意恐迟迟归。
谁言寸草心,报得三春晖。
(thread: n. 线 sew: v. 缝 stitch: n. 针 departure: n. 离开
impart: v. 赋予,给予 reward: v. 回报)
