1 第一首诗的排版既强化了它要传达的信息,又会加强读者的情感回应。loneliness意为“孤独,寂寞”,诗句中的loneliness被单独放在括号外,强调了这个词本身的含义。a leaf falls中包含的字母被括号括了起来,并被分隔在不同的诗行之中。有的诗行放了一个字母,有的诗行放了两个字母,以此表达一片树叶独自飘落的意象。这些字母的位置也映现出树叶摇摇摆摆落到地面之前的轨迹。
2 诗歌中常使用明喻、暗喻和拟人这三种修辞手法。1)明喻是将两个不同的事物做比较,展示二者的相同之处。明喻一般借助like或as这样的词来描绘相似之处。例如:a.The mountains were like enormous shadows on the horizon.b.Her cheeks are red like a rose.2)暗喻是将两个不相关但具有某些共同特征的事物进行含蓄的、暗示的或是隐含的比较。例如:That test was a total breeze. breeze意为“微风”,也可以指代“轻而易举的事”,因此,这句话表示那次考试并不难。3)拟人是指把人类的情感、欲望、感觉、手势和语言等赋予人类以外的事物。这些人类以外的事物可以是物体、事件、动植物等。例如:a.The branches waved in the wind.b.The sun was smiling.
