More than any other type of literature, it usually implies a deeper meaning beyond the words on the page. So, how to reveal this hidden dimension? 诗歌是“音”与“意”的融合。与其他任何文学类型相比，诗歌通常隐含着超越字面的更深层含义。那么，如何揭示隐藏的这个方面呢？ ...的结合 ___________vt. 结合;联合 _________________ 把A和B结合起来 combined adj. 联合的;结合的;共同的 be combined with 与……结合 combine combine A with/and B Para 1 含有……的意思,暗示 imply (doing) sth 意味着做..... imply sb to be.....暗示某人是...... imply that....意味/暗示着 it is implied that....意味着... v. 尺寸；方面、侧面 n. 规模 Practice makes perfect 用combine的适当形式填空 The study of traditions should 　　 　　　with practice.

While you may ask “What does it mean?” as you begin reading a poem, it is better to ask “How does it sound?” Even if its true meaning appears to be beyond your grasp, you can always say something about how the poem sounds when you read it aloud. 首先，凭听觉的指引(跟从你的耳朵)。当你刚开始读一首诗时，你可能会问： “这是什么意思？”但最好问一句： “它听起来怎么样？”即使你似乎无法理解这首诗的真正含义，但是你总是可以说说这首诗在朗读时听上去如何。 Para 2 最好做某事 似乎 无法理解 ____________ the grasp of sb 为......所不能理解 ___________ one’s grasp 能力所及 have a good grasp of… __________ _________________________ to do ... 抓住机会去做...... beyond within 掌握得好 grasp the opportunity / chance Practice makes perfect They failed __________(grasp) the significance of his words.

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. 第二，走进诗歌，就像你是一个陌生风景中的探索者。问一些关于这首诗的基本问题。谁在说话？在和谁说话？描述了什么？有没有地域感？那里还有其他人或物吗？当你探索这首诗的时候，你的脑海会开始看到一些画面。 v. to come near to sb/sth 靠近，接近 v. to speak to sb about sth 接洽 v. to start dealing with a problem in a particular way着手处理，对付 n. a way of dealing with sb /sth 方法，态度 n. movement nearer to sb /sth in distance or time （距离和时间上的）靠近，接近 (to sth) (of sth) Practice makes perfect 1. ___________(approach) the city centre, we saw a stone statue of about 10 metres in height. 2.What is the best approach _________ the problem? 3.

The girl listened as if she had turned to stone. It looks as if it might snow soon. 表示与现在事实相反,谓语动词用“did/was/were” 表示与过去事实相反,谓语动词用“had +done” 表示与将来事实相反,谓语动词用“would / could / might + do”。 用何种语气取决于说话者 He behaves as if he ________(own) the new house.

This combination is often complex or even contradictory. As you slowly explore your surroundings, you will start to dig up clues that give you a greater understanding of the poem. Read these lines, pay attention to the image of the caged bird and try to find out what it means. 这些画面是什么？把它们组合起来会发生什么？这种组合通常是复杂的，甚至是矛盾的。当你慢慢探索周围环境时，你会开始挖掘线索，这些线索会让你更好地理解这首诗。读下面这几句诗，注意“笼中鸟”的形象，尝试弄清它意味着什么。 发现 组合，放在一起 adj. 复杂的,难懂的 contradictory adj.矛盾的；对立的____________ vt.反驳;相矛盾 _____________ n.矛盾的说法;反驳 contradict contradiction Practice makes perfect 1.

So if you do not get it, set the poem aside and come back to it later . 第三，如果你下了很大的功夫可还是纠结于理解一首诗的意思，那就耐心一点吧。你不可能真正理解只读过一遍的诗。有时，读懂一首诗可能是一辈子的事。所以如果你不明白，可以把这首诗先放下，以后再回来读。 把...放一边 努力做某事 adj. 刻苦的，艰苦的 下了很大的功夫 interpret v. 解释,阐释;把……理解为,领会;演绎;口译 interpret..._____ ...　把……理解为…… interpret ____ ...______ 把……译为…… _____________ n. 译员 _____________ n.解释;说明;阐明 interpreter interpretation as from into patience n. 耐心,忍耐力 n./adj. patient adj. impatient n. impatience 1.

This may seem difficult at first, but when you finally make your great discovery, your efforts will be rewarded. 作为一个探索者，你不会立刻达成你的目标——你需要踏上旅程，去一个遥远未知的目的地。这一开始可能看起来很难，但当你最终有了重大发现时，你的努力将得到回报。 有重大发现时 ...., your efforts will be rewarded.(Page 45) n.奖励；回报 v. 奖励；给以报酬 It is rewarding to do sth 做...是有益的 award: n.具体的某一奖项 the Oscar Award v.授予某一奖 (award sb sth/award sth to sb) We offer him a challenging and 　　　　　(reward) career.  They rewarded the boy 　　　　a cake 　　　　　finding the lost dog.  He gave the children some chocolate 　　　　　a reward for their good behaviour.  rewarding　 with for　 as　 reward sb _____ sth 用某物奖励某人 reward sb ______ (doing) sth 奖励；奖赏；给以报酬 ________________________ 作为报答；作为…的报酬 rewarding ___________ adj. 报酬高的;有益的;值得做的 with for in reward for /as a reward for Para 4 Poems that are easy to understand are often less interesting than those that constantly reveal deeper and previously unrecognized meanings. Read these lines and try to find out what they mean. 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。读下面这几句诗，试着弄清它们是什么意思吧。 定语从句 that做主语 可替换为which 定语从句 that做主语 不可替换为which Para5 Finally, remember that you do not have to fully understand a poem to appreciate it. You might need to abandon logical thinking to discover its true inner beauty. As long as the journey of poetry reading makes you feel something or lets you perceive another level of meaning, it will have been worth your effort. 最后请记住，欣赏一首诗，并非得完全理解它不可。也许你需要抛开逻辑思维以发现它真正的内在美。只要读诗之旅能让你有所感触，或者让你领悟到另一层含义，那你的努力就是值得的。 值得你努力 抛弃逻辑思维 v.感知到；察觉到 v. 认为；将...理解为 perceive sb/sth as sth将...视为... perceive-perception perceive sb. / sth. __________ 把......看做 be perceived ___________ 被视为… perceive that... 意识到...... as / to be ... as / to be ...
