(材料选自译林版新教材选择性必修第一册Unit 4) ◎ How to read a poem Poetry is a combination of“sound” and “sense”.More than any other type of literature, it usually implies① a deeper meaning beyond the words on the page.So, how to reveal this hidden dimension②？ First, follow your ears.While you may ask“What does it mean？” as you begin reading a poem, it is better to ask “How does it sound？” [1]Even if its true meaning appears to be beyond your grasp③， you can always say something about how the poem sounds when you read it aloud.Do you detect④ a rhythm? Are there any repeated words, rhymes⑤ or other special effects? All of these are good qualities to notice, and they may lead you to a better understanding of the poem in the end.Read these lines to feel how they sound. Sweet and low, sweet and low， Wind of the western sea， Low, low, breathe and blow， Wind of the western sea! Over the rolling waters go， Come from the dying moon, and blow， Blow him again to me； While my little one, while my pretty one, sleeps. (From“Sweet and Low” by Alfred Tennyson) [1]本句为主从复合句。even if引导让步状语从句；其中how引导宾语从句，作介词about的宾语。 Second, approach the poem as if you were an explorer in an unfamiliar landscape.Ask some basic questions about the poem.Who is talking? Who is being talked to? What is being described? Is there a sense of place? Are there other people or objects there? As you explore the poem, you will begin to see images in your mind.What are those images, and what happens when they are put together? This combination is often complex⑥ or even contradictory⑦.[2]As you slowly explore your surroundings, you will start to dig up⑧ clues⑨ that give you a greater understanding of the poem.Read these lines, pay attention to the image of the cagedB10 bird and try to find out what it means. The caged bird sings with a fearful trill⑪ of things unknown but longed for still and his tune is heard on the distant hill for the caged bird sings of freedom. (From “Caged Bird” by Maya Angelou) [2]本句为主从复合句。as引导时间状语从句，其中as意为“当……的时候”。 Third, if you are still struggling to interpret⑫ the meaning of a poem even with much painstaking effort, just have some patience⑬.You cannot really understand a poem that you have only read once.Sometimes reading a poem can be a lifelong job.So if you do not get it, set the poem aside⑭ and come back to it later.As an explorer, you will not reach your goal immediately — you need to go on a journey to a remote⑮ and unknown destination.This may seem difficult at first, but when you finally make your great discovery, your efforts will be rewarded⑯.[3]Poems that are easy to understand are often less interesting than those that constantly⑰ reveal deeper and previously unrecognized meanings. Read these lines and try to find out what they mean. Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though； He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. (From “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost) [3]本句为主从复合句。其中that are easy to understand为定语从句，修饰先行词poem; that constantly reveal deeper and previously unrecognized meanings也为定语从句，修饰先行词those。 Finally, remember that you do not have to fully understand a poem to appreciate it.You might need to abandon logical⑱ thinking to discover its true inner⑲ beauty.[4]As long as the journey of poetry reading makes you feel something or lets you perceive⑳ another level of meaning, it will have been worth your effort. [4]本句为主从复合句。as long as引导条件状语从句，意为“只要”。 Poetry's combination of “sound” and “sense” makes you see the world in a new way and allows you to go beyondB21 normal realityB22 for the everlasting beauty.Enjoy your journey in the world of poetry！ ◎ ①imply/ɪm'plaɪ/vt.含有……的意思；暗示，暗指 ②dimension/daɪ'menʃn/n.方面，侧面；规模，程度；维 ③grasp/ɡrɑːsp/n.理解，领会；抓紧，握紧，控制；能力所及 vt.抓紧；领会，理解 beyond one's grasp 无法理解，无法领会 ④detect/dɪ'tekt/vt.发现，查明，侦察 detection n.侦查，探测；发觉，发现，察觉 ⑤rhyme/raɪm/n.押韵词；押韵 vt.使押韵 vi.和……同韵 ⑥complex/'kɒmpleks/adj.复杂的，难懂的 n.建筑群；复合体；情结 ⑦contradictory/ˌkɒntrə'dɪktəri/adj.相互矛盾的，对立的 ⑧dig up 发现；搜集；查明 ⑨clue/kluː/n.线索，提示；迹象 ⑩cage/keɪdʒ/vt.把(动物)关在笼中 n.笼子 ⑪trill/trɪl/n.(鸟的)啼啭；颤音 vt.欢快地高声说 vi.发颤音 ⑫interpret/ɪn'tɜːprɪt/vt.解释，阐释；把……理解为，领会；演绎 vi.口译 ⑬patience/'peɪʃns/n.耐心，忍耐力 ⑭set ...aside 把……放一边；留出 aside adv.到旁边，在旁边；留，存；除……以外 ⑮remote/rɪ'məʊt/adj.偏远的，偏僻的；遥远的，久远的；远亲的 ⑯reward/rɪ'wɔːd/vt.奖励，奖赏 n.奖励，回报；悬赏金 ⑰constantly/'kɒnstəntli/adv.始终，一直 ⑱logical/'lɒdʒɪk(ə)l/adj.符合逻辑的；必然的，合乎情理的 ⑲inner/'ɪnə(r)/adj.内心的，隐藏的；里面的，内部的 ⑳perceive/pə'siːv/vt.注意到，意识到；将……理解为，将……视为 go beyond 超越；超出 reality/ri'æləti/n.现实，实际情况；事实，实际经历 ◎ 如何读诗 诗歌是“声音”和“意义”的结合体。它较之于其他任何类型的文学作品，页面上的文字背后通常隐含着更深的含义。那么，该如何来揭示出诗歌中所隐含的层面呢？ 首先，跟从你的耳朵。当你开始读一首诗时，你可能会问“这是什么意思？”，但其实你最好问“这首诗听起来如何？”即使你似乎无法理解诗歌的真正含义，也总是可以说说这首诗在朗读时听起来如何。你发现韵律了吗？有任何重复的词，韵脚或是其他特殊的作用吗？所有的这些都是值得关注的特征，并且它们最终可能会引导你去更好地理解一首诗歌。读这些诗行来感受它们听起来如何。 轻轻地，柔和地，轻轻地，柔和地， 西方吹来海风， 轻轻地，柔和地吹拂， 西方吹来海风！ 西边吹来，月色朦胧， 吹过波涛汹涌， 吹得他回家呵， 亲亲睡着的宝宝，可爱的宝贝 (《轻轻地，柔和地》——阿尔弗雷德·丁尼生) 第二，读这首诗就好像你是一个陌生风景中的探险家。问一些关于这首诗的基本问题。谁在说话？在对谁说？描述了些什么？有没有地域感？那里还有其他人或物吗？当你探索这首诗时，你将在你的脑海中看到一些意象。那些意象是什么，当它们组合在一起又会发生什么呢？这些结合往往是复杂的，甚至是矛盾的。当你慢慢探索周围的环境时，你将开始挖掘让你对这首诗有更深刻理解的线索。读这些诗行，注意笼子里的鸟的形象，尝试弄清它的含义。 笼中的鸟用可怕的颤音 歌唱未知却仍向往的世界 歌声飘向远山 为自由而唱 (《笼中鸟》——玛雅·安吉洛) 第三，如果你费尽心力仍未能去诠释一首诗的意义，那就要多些耐心。你不可能真正理解一首你只读过一遍的诗。有时，需要用一生的时间去读懂一首诗。因此，如果你不明白，可以把这首诗先放下，以后再回来读。作为一名探险家，你不会立即达成你的目标——你得踏上旅途，朝远方未知的目的地前进。这一开始会有点难，但当你终于有了伟大发现，你的努力将会得到回报。相比容易理解的诗，那些不断展现更加深刻的、先前未发现的意义的诗常常更加有趣。读这些诗行，试着弄清它们的含义。 谁家林子我知晓。 村中他家好寻找； 他不见我行此地， 银装素裹值观赏。 (《雪夜林边小驻》——罗伯特·佛罗斯特) 最后，记住要欣赏一首诗，不必非得完全理解其含义。也许你需要放下逻辑思维来发现它真正的内在美。只要读诗之旅能让你有所感悟，或者让你发现另一层含义，你的努力就是值得的。 诗歌的“声音”与“意义”的结合能给人一种新的视角看待世界，这使你超越平常的现实去追求永恒的美。在诗歌的世界里享受你的旅程吧！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
