A Red, Red Rose
-- Robert Burns
Till all the seas go dry, my dear,
And the rocks melt with the sun;

And I will come again, my love,
Though it were ten thousand mile.

Ascending Guanque Tower
白日依山尽,
The white sun behind the mountain falls,
黄河入海流。
The Yellow River into the seas flows.

In order to take in a boundless view,
更上一层楼。
Ascend another floor.
The Star 星星
When the blazing sun is gone,
灿烂太阳已西沉,
When he nothing shines upon,
它已不再照万物,
Then you show your little light,
你就显露些微光,
Twinkle, twinkle all the night.
整个晚上眨眼睛。

Understanding Poetry
Poetry is a form of literature that is usually written in lines and stanzas (诗节).
Words in a poem are put in a special way to make a rhythm (a regular repeated pattern of sounds).
The theme of a poem is often shown by images and through literary devices (e.g. simile, personification, metaphor, exaggeration).
What typical language features do you often find in poems?
In winter In spring In summer In autumn
Watch us go, My shoes are wet. By the sea, Trees are brown,
Making footprints See how deep Sandy footprints I kick the leaves
In the snow. The puddles get. Made by me. All over town.

水仙花(威廉华兹华斯)
我孤独地漫游,像一朵云
在山丘和谷地上飘荡,
忽然间我看见一群
金色的水仙花迎春开放,
在树荫下,在湖水边,
迎着微风起舞翩翩。
连绵不绝,如繁星灿烂,
在银河里闪闪发光,
它们沿着湖湾的边缘
延伸成无穷无尽的一行;
我一眼看见了一万朵,
在欢舞之中起伏颠簸。

粼粼波光也在跳着舞,
水仙的欢欣却胜过水波;
与这样快活的伴侣为伍,
诗人怎能不满心欢乐!
我久久凝望,却想象不到
这奇景赋予我多少财宝:
每当我躺在床上不眠,
或心神空茫,或默默沉思,
它们常在心灵中闪现,
那是孤独之中的福祉;
于是我的心便涨满幸福,
和水仙一同翩翩起舞

Invitation to Wine Libai
Tr. 许渊冲
Do you not see the Yellow River come from the sky,
Rushinginto the sea and never come back?

Grieve overyour snow-white hair though once it wassilk-black?
When hopes are won, oh! Drink your fill in high _______,
And never leave your wine-cup empty in _________
Heaven has made us talents, we’re not made in vain.
A thousand gold coins spent, more will turn up again.
Kill a cow, cook a sheep and let us merry _____,
And drink three hundred cupfuls of wine in high ______.
Dear friends of mine,
Cheer up, cheer up!
I invite you to wine.
Do not put down your cup!
I will sing you a song, please hear,
O hear!lend me a willing ear!
What difference will rare and costly dishes make?
I only want to get drunk and never to wake.
How many great menwere forgotten through the ______?
But great drinkers are more famous than sober ______.
The Prince of Poets feasted in his palace at will,
Drank wine at ten thousand a cask and laughed his fill.
A host should not complain of money he is ______,
To drink with you I will sell things of any ______.
My fur coat worth a thousand coins of gold
And my flower-dappled horse may be sold
To buy good wine that we may drown the woe age-old.
Read and appreciate poem 2
华兹华斯关于自然的诗歌,优美动人,他的这类诗歌的一个突出特点就是——寓情于景,情景交融。
作者通过对英格兰北部的春天湖边的水仙花的描写,表现了人与自然的交流,诗人从中找到了未泯的童心,窥见了一种永恒的生机。
每节诗中一三行、二四行、五六行分别押韵,格调清新欢快,优美流畅。
本诗由景及情,从第三诗节开始由景色想到旅伴,于是水仙怒放转成了心花怒放,自然美景与心灵感受浑然一体。一贯主张回到自然的诗人借这首诗表达了人性的复归,人与自然息息相通,自然界的快乐和人间的快乐架起了互通的桥梁。
