Unit 5 Poems
(见学生用书P106)
The Road Not Taken
—Robert Frost
Two roads diverged① in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth②.
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same.
And both that morning equally③ lay
In leaves no step had trodden④ black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh⑤
Somewhere ages and ages hence⑥:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.
《未选择的路》
——罗伯特·弗罗斯特
黄色的树林里分出两条路,
可惜我不能同时去涉足,
我在那路口久久伫立,
我向着一条路极目望去,
直到它消失在丛林深处。
但我却选择了另外一条路,
它荒草萋萋,十分幽寂,
显得更诱人,更美丽;
虽然在这条小路上,
都很少留下旅人的足迹。
那天清晨落叶满地,
两条路都未经脚印污染。
啊,留下一条路等改日再见!
但我知道路径延绵无尽头,
恐怕我难以再回返。
也许多年后在某个地方,
我将轻声叹息将往事回顾:
一片树林里分出两条路——
而我选择了人迹更少的一条,
从此决定了我一生的道路。

A FEW SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS
There are various① reasons why people compose② poetry. Some poems tell a story or describe a certain image in the reader’s mind. Others try to convey③ certain feelings such as joy and sorrow④. The distinctive⑤ characteristics⑥ of poetry often include economical⑦ use of words,descriptive⑧ and vivid⑨ language,integrated⑩ imagery⑪,literary⑫ devices such as similes and metaphors⑬,and arrangement of words,lines,rhymes⑭,and rhythm. Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. Now we will look at a few of the simpler forms.
Some of the first poems a young child learns in English are nursery rhymes⑮. They are usually the traditional poems or folk⑯ songs. The language of these rhymes,like Poem A,is to the point⑰ but has a storyline. Many children enjoy nursery rhymes because they rhyme,have a strong rhythm,and often repeat the same words. The poems may not make sense⑱ and even seem contradictory⑲,but they are easy to learn and recite⑳. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes,children learn about language.
One of the simplest kinds of poem is the “list poem”,which contains a list of things,people,ideas,or descriptions㉑ that develop a particular theme㉒. List poems have a flexible㉓ line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. Some rhyme [like B and C],while others do not.
Another simple form of poem that amateurs㉔ can easily write is the cinquain㉕,which is made up of㉖ five lines. With these,you can convey a strong picture or a certain mood in just a few words. Look at the example [D].
Haiku㉗ is a Japanese form of poetry that consists of㉘ 17 syllables㉙. It has a format㉚ of three lines,containing 5,7,and 5 syllables respectively㉛. It is not a traditional form of English poetry, but is very popular with English writers. It is easy to write and,like the cinquain,can give a clear picture and create a special feeling using very few words. The haiku poem [E] on the right is a translation㉜ from Japanese,which shows a moment in the life of a delicate㉝ butterfly.
English speakers also enjoy poems from China,those from the Tang Dynasty in particular. A lot of Tang poetry has been translated into English,such as this one [F].
With so many different forms of poetry to choose from,you may eventually want to write poems of your own. Give it a try!
A
Hush,little baby,don’t say a word,
Papa’s gonna buy you a mockingbird㉞.
If that mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s gonna buy you a diamond㉟ ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brass㊱,
Papa’s gonna buy you a looking glass.
If that looking glass gets broke,
Papa’s gonna buy you a billy goat㊲.
If that billy goat won’t pull,
Papa’s gonna buy you a cart and bull㊳.
B
Only One Mother
Hundreds of stars in the pretty sky,
Hundreds of shells on the shore together,
Hundreds of birds that go singing by,
Hundreds of lambs in the sunny weather.
Hundreds of dewdrops㊴ to greet the dawn,
Hundreds of bees in the purple clover㊵,
Hundreds of butterflies on the lawn㊶,
But only one mother the wide world over.
George Cooper
C
LIFE
Life can be good,
Life can be bad,
Life is mostly cheerful,
but sometimes sad
Life can be dreams,
Life can be great thoughts
Life can mean a person,
Sitting in court.
D
Brother
Beautiful,athletic㊷
Teasing㊸,shouting,laughing
Friend and enemy too
Mine
E
A fallen blossom
Is coming back to the branch.
Look,a butterfly!
F
Where she awaits㊹ her husband
On and on the river flows.
Never looking back,
Transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top,
wind and rain revolve㊺.
Should the traveller return,
this stone would utter㊻ speech.
Wang Jian

英语诗歌的一些简单形式
人们写诗的原因有很多个。有些诗讲述一个故事或在读者的脑海中描述一个特定的形象。另一些诗则试图传达某些情感,如喜悦和悲伤。诗歌的显著特点通常包括:用词简洁;语言描述生动、形象;具备整合的意象;使用明喻和暗喻等文学手法;词、行、韵、节奏等编排有序。诗人用许多不同种类的诗歌来表达自己。现在我们来看一些比较简单的形式。
小孩子用英语最先学会的一些诗是童谣。它们通常是传统诗歌或民歌。这些童谣(如诗歌A)的语言简单明了,但带有故事情节。许多孩子喜欢童谣,因为童谣押韵,节奏很强,而且经常重复相同的单词。这些诗可能没有意义,甚至看起来自相矛盾,但它们很容易学习和背诵。通过童谣中的文字游戏,孩子们学习语言。
其中最简单的一种诗是“清单诗”,它包含了一系列阐明特定主题的事物、人物、思想或描述。清单诗的诗句长短灵活且有重复的短语,这给诗歌提供了一种模式和节奏。有些押韵[如B和C],而另一些则不(押韵)。
另一种业余爱好者很容易写的简单的诗歌形式是五行诗,它由五行组成。有了这些,你可以用几句话呈现出一幅强烈的画面或表达某种情绪。看[D]这个例子。
俳句是一种日语诗歌形式,由17个音节组成。它有三行格式,分别包含5、7和5个音节。它不是英国诗歌的传统形式,但很受英国作家的欢迎。它写起来很容易,而且像五行诗一样,每用几个字就能给人一个清晰的画面和一种特殊的感觉。右边的俳句诗[E]是日文的译本,它展示了一只精美的蝴蝶生命中的一刻。
母语是英语的人也喜欢中国的诗,尤其是唐朝的诗。有许多唐诗被翻译成英文,比如这一首诗[F]。
有这么多不同形式的诗歌可供选择,你最终可能会想写自己的诗。试试看!
A
安静,小宝贝,不要说话,
爸爸会去给你买一只嘲鸫。
如果嘲鸫不唱歌,
爸爸会去给你买一枚钻石戒指。
如果钻石戒指变成黄铜,
爸爸会去给你买一面镜子。
如果镜子碎了,
爸爸会给你买一只公山羊。
如果这只公山羊拽不动,
爸爸会给你买一架牛车。
B
只有一个母亲
千百颗星星挂在美丽的天空,
千百颗贝壳遍布悠长的海岸,
千百只鸟儿鸣唱飞过,
千百只小羊在阳光下往返。
千百滴露珠迎接黎明,
千百只蜜蜂穿梭在紫色的三叶草中,
千百只蝴蝶在原野飞舞,
可只有一个母亲,在这茫茫的世间。
乔治·库珀
C
生活
生活可能美满,
生活可能悲伤,
生活常常充满欢乐,
但有时令人沮丧。
生活可能是梦幻,
生活可能是伟大的思想,
生活也可能意味着一个人,
坐在被告席上。
D
兄弟
爱美,又爱运动
爱闹,爱叫,又爱笑
是我的朋友
也是我的敌人
E
落下的花朵,
回到了树枝上。
瞧啊,是只蝴蝶!
F
望夫处,江悠悠,
化为石,不回头。
山头日日风复雨,
行人归来石应语。
