Annabel Lee

----Edgar Allan Poe

It was many and many a year ago,

In a kingdom by the sea,

That a maiden there lived whom you may know

By the name of ANNABEL LEE;

And this maiden she lived with no other thought

Than to love and be loved by me.

She was a child and I was a child,

In this kingdom by the sea;

But we loved with a love that was more than love

I and my Annabel Lee;

With a love that the winged seraphs of heaven Coveted her and me.

And this was the reason that,long ago,

In this kingdom by the sea,

A wind blew out of a cloud by night chilling my Annabel Lee;

So that her highborn kinsman came

And bore her away from me,

To shut her up in a sepulchre

In this kindom by the sea.

The angels ,not half so happy in the heaven,

Went evnying her and me

Yes!That was the reason(as all men know,in this kingdom by the sea)That the wind came out of the cloud,

Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee.

But our love it was stronger by far than the love

Of those who were older than we

Of many far wiser than we

And neither the angels in heaven above,

Nor the demons down under the sea,

Can ever dissever my soulfrom the soul

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee.

For the moon never beams without bringing me dreams

Of the beautiful Annalbel Lee;

And the stars never rise but I see the bright eyes

Of the beautiful Annabel Lee;

And so,all the night-tide ,I lie down by the side

Of my darling ,my darling ,my life and my bride,In the sepulchre there by the sea,

In her tomb by the side of the sea.

很久很久以前,

在一个滨海的国度里,

住着一位少女你或许认得,

她的芳名叫安娜贝尔.李;

这少女活着没有别的愿望,

只为和我俩情相许。

那会儿我还是个孩子,她也未脱稚气,

在这个滨海的国度里;

可我们的爱超越一切,无人能及——

我和我的安娜贝尔.李;

我们爱得那样深,连天上的六翼天使

也把我和她妒嫉。

这就是那不幸的根源,很久以前

在这个滨海的国度里,

夜里一阵寒风从白云端吹起,冻僵了

我的安娜贝尔.李;

于是她那些高贵的亲戚来到凡间

把她从我的身边夺去,

将她关进一座坟墓

在这个滨海的国度里。

这些天使们在天上,不及我们一半快活,

于是他们把我和她妒嫉——

对——就是这个缘故(谁不晓得呢,在这个滨海的国度里)

云端刮起了寒风,

冻僵并带走了我的安娜贝尔.李。

可我们的爱情远远地胜利

那些年纪长于我们的人——

那些智慧胜于我们的人——

无论是天上的天使,

还是海底的恶魔,

都不能将我们的灵魂分离,

我和我美丽的安娜贝尔.李。

因为月亮的每一丝清辉都勾起我的回忆

梦里那美丽的安娜贝尔.李

群星的每一次升空都令我觉得秋波在闪动

那是我美丽的安娜贝尔.李

就这样,伴着潮水,我整夜躺在她身旁

我亲爱的——我亲爱的——我的生命,我的新娘,在海边那座坟茔里,

在大海边她的墓穴里。

To Helen

Helen, thy beauty is to me

Like those Nicean barks of yore,

That gently, o'er a perfumed sea,

The weary, wayworn wanderer bore To his own native shore.

On desperate seas long wont to roam, Thy hyacinth hair, thy classic face, Thy Naiad airs have brought me home To the glory that was Greece

And the grandeur that was Rome.

Lo! in yon brilliant window-niche

How statue-like I see thee stand,

The agate lamp within thy hand!

Ah, Psyche, from the regions which Are Holy Land!诗文

海伦,你的美在我的眼里,有如往日尼西亚的三桅船

船行在飘香的海上,悠悠地把已倦于漂泊的困乏船员

送回他故乡的海岸。

早已习惯于在怒海上飘荡,你典雅的脸庞,你的鬈发,你水神般的风姿带我返航,返回那往时的希腊和罗马,返回那往时的壮丽和辉煌。看哪!壁龛似的明亮窗户里,我看见你站着,多像尊雕像,一盏玛瑙的灯你拿在手上!塞姬女神哪,神圣的土地

才是你家乡!

Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening雪夜林边小驻

---by Robert Frost

Whose woods these are I think I know, 我知道林子的主人是谁,His house is in the village though. 虽村落是他所居之地。

He will not see me stopping here, 他不会看到我停留于此,

To watch his woods fill up with snow. 凝视他的林子雪花纷飞。

My little horse must think it queer, 我的小马一定以我为怪,

To stop without a farmhouse near, 近无房舍,为何停伫。Between the woods and frozen lake, 况只有林子与冰湖,

The darkest evening of the year. 和一年中最黑之夜。

He gives his harness bells a shake, 他轻摇铃具

To ask if there is some mistake. 询问有错与否。

The only other sound's the sweep, 唯一的回复来自,

Of easy wind and downy flake. 软雪和清风。

The woods are lovely, dark and deep. 林子很美——昏暗而幽深,But I have promises to keep, 但我已有约定。

And miles to go before I sleep, 沉醉前还有一段路要走

And miles to go before I sleep 沉醉前还有一段路要走。

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged 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 undergrowth;

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 equally lay In leaves no step had trodden 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 sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I —

I took the one less traveled by, And that has made all the difference.

未选之路

(美)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,

虽然在这两条小路上,

都很少留下旅人的足迹,

虽然那天清晨落叶满地,

两条路都未经脚印污染。

呵,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。

也许多少年后在某个地方,

我将轻声叹息把往事回顾,一片树林里分出两条路,而我选了人迹更少的一条,从此决定了我一生的道路。

英国文学选读一考试大题必备 重点题目分析(人物分析 诗歌分析 三大主义)

Hamlet is the first work of literature to look squarely at the stupidity, falsity and sham of everyday life, without laughing and without easy answers. In a world where things are not as they seem, Hamlet…s genuineness, thoughtfulness, and sincerity make him special. Hamlet is no saint. But unlike most of the other characters (and most people today), Hamlet chooses not to compromise with evil. Dying, Hamlet reaffirms the tragic dignity of a basically decent person in a bad world Hamlet is the first work of literature to show an ordinary person looking at the futility and wrongs in life, asking the toughest questions and coming up with honest semi-answers like most people do today. Unlike so much of popular culture today, "Hamlet" leaves us with the message that life is indeed worth living, even by imperfect people in an imperfect world. 犹豫scholars have debated for centuries about Hamlet's hesitation in killing his uncle. Some see it as a plot device to prolong the action, and others see it as the result of pressure exerted by the complex philosophical and ethical issues that surround cold-blooded murder, calculated revenge and thwarted desire. More recently, psychoanalytic critics have examined Hamlet's unconscious desires (Freud concludes that Hamlet has an "Oedipal desire for his mother and the subsequent guilt [is] preventing him from murdering the man [Claudius] who has done what he unconsciously wanted to do". Robinson Crusoe is a grand hero in westerners? eyes. He survived in the deserted island and lived a meaningful life. He almost has everything needed for becoming a successful man, such as his excellent creativity, great working capacity, courage, and persistence in overcoming obstacles. But he has shortcomings, too. Sometimes he was irresolute; he was not confident; he was fetishistic, although his belief had done him much good. He serves somehow as a lighthouse for the ambitious people. It?s also instructive for average people. Robinson was the representative of the bourgeois of the 18th C. It was the time when bourgeois grew stronger and stronger. The author Defoe paid a tribute to bourgeois by creating such a rational, powerful, clever, and successful man. 【Themes of Robinson Crusoe】 1. The ambivalence of mastery In short, while Crusoe seems praiseworthy in mastering his fate by overcoming his obstacles, and controlling his environment, the praiseworthiness of his mastery over his fellow human Friday is more doubtful. Defoe explores the link between the two in his depiction of the colonial mind. 2. The necessity of Repentance Crusoe?s experiences constitute not simply an adventure story in which thrilling things happen, but also a moral tale illustrating the right and wrong ways to live one?s life. Crusoe?s story instruct s others in God?s wisdom, and one vital part of this wisdom is the importance of repenting one?s sins. 3. The Importance of Self-Awareness Crusoe?s arrival on the island does not make him revert to a brute existence and he remains conscious of himself at all times. His island existence actually deepens his self-awareness as he withdraws from the external society and turns inward. The idea that the individual must keep a careful reckoning of the state of his own soul is a key point in the Presbyterian doctrine that the aothor took seriously all his life. ·Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte The protagonist and title character, orphaned as a baby. She is a plain-featured, small and reserved but talented, sympathetic, hard-working, honest and passionate girl. Skilled at studying, drawing, and teaching, she works as a governess at Thornfield Hall and falls in love with her wealthy employer, Edward Rochester. But her strong sense of conscience does not permit her to become his mistress, and she does not return to him until his insane wife is dead and she herself has come into an inheritance. 【Themes of Jane Eyre】 1. Gender relations A particularly important theme in the novel is patriarchalism and Jane…s efforts to assert her own identity within male-dominated society. Among the three of the main male characters,

自考英美文学选读_第一章_文艺复兴时期(英国)(课文翻译)

英美文学选读翻译(英语专业自考) 第一部分:英国文学 第一章文艺复兴时期 文艺复兴标志着一个过渡时期,即中世纪的结束和现代社会的开始。一般来说,文艺复兴时期是从十四世纪到十七世纪中叶。它从意大利兴起,伴随着绘画、雕塑和文学领域的百花齐放,而后文艺复兴浪潮席卷了整个欧洲。文艺复兴,顾名思义即重生、复苏,是由一系列历史事件激发推动的,其中包括对古希腊罗马文化的重新发现。地理天文领域的新发现,宗教改革及经济发展。因此,文艺复兴从本质上是欧洲人文主义者竭力摒弃中世纪欧洲的封建主义,推行代表新兴城市资产阶级利益的新思想,并恢复早期宗教的纯洁性,远离腐败的罗马天主教廷的一场运动。 文艺复兴浪潮影响到英国的速度比较慢,不仅因为英国远离欧洲大陆,而且还因为其国内的动荡不安。乔叟去世后的一个半世纪是英国历史上最动荡不安的时期。好战的贵族篡取了王位,使英国走上自我毁灭之路。著名的玫瑰之战就是极好的例子。后来理查三世的恐怖统治标志着内战的结束,在都铎王朝的统治下英国的民族情感又成长起来。然而直到亨利八世统治期间(1509-1547),文艺复兴的春风才吹入英国。在亨利八世的鼓励下,牛津的改革派学者和人文主义者们将古典文学引入英国。基于古典文学作品及《圣经》的教育重获生机,而十五世纪就被广泛传阅的文学作品则更加流行了。自此,英国的文艺复兴开始了。英国,尤其是英国文学进入了黄金时代。这个时期涌现出莎士比亚、斯宾塞、约翰逊、锡德尼、马洛、培根及邓恩等一大批文学巨匠。但英国的文艺复兴并未使新文学与旧时代彻底决裂,带有十四、十五世纪特点的创作态度与情感依然贯穿在人文主义与改革时代。 人文主义是文艺复兴的核心。它源于努力恢复中世纪产生的对古希腊罗马文化的尊崇。人文主义作为文艺复兴的起源是因为古希腊罗马文明的基础是以"人"为中心,人是万物之灵。通过这些对古代文化崭新的研究,人文主义者不仅看到了光彩夺目的艺术启明星,还在那古典作品中寻求到了人的价值。在中世纪的社会中,个人完全隶属于封建统治,没有独立和自由可言;在中世纪的神学理论中,人与周围世界的关系仅仅是人消极适应或消极遁世,不允许追求快乐,以备死后灵魂得以超脱。然而人文主义者们却从古代文化遗产中找到了充足的论据,来赞美人性,并开始注意到人类是光荣的生命,人自己可以不断发展,至善至美,而且人们生存的世界是属于他们的,供他们怀疑、探索以及享受。由此,人文主义者通过强调人类的尊严、强调今生今世的重要性,喊出了他们的信仰,即人类不仅有权利在今生今世美好生活,而且还有能力完善自我,创造奇迹。人文主义遍布英国思想领域的。标志是荷兰学者伊拉斯谟先后到牛津大学与剑桥大学讲授古典文化研究。托马斯·漠尔、克利斯朵夫·马洛和威廉·莎士比亚是英国人文主义的代表。

浅谈英语系下英美文学对比与分析 文档

浅谈英语系下英美文学对比与分析 英国文学与美国文学是当今社会影响范围最为深广的两类文学,对于英美文学的研究屡见不鲜。英美两国的文化具有一定的差异性,但是美国曾经是英国的殖民地,文化之间又有一定的共通性。英国文学历史悠久,文学体系完备,文学发展依照历史的发展而逐渐变化,文艺复兴时期的莎士比亚是英国文学与文化的象征,十七世纪的革命诗人弥尔顿,十八世纪启蒙主义思想引导下的各个散文作家,十九世纪的浪漫主义与现实主义的思潮影响下的诗人与剧作家,二十世纪现代主义思潮影响下的艾略特、乔伊斯……而美国文学与本土文化息息相关,体现着多元化与复杂性。在殖民时期,美国作家的作品受到英国文学的深刻影响,例如泰勒的诗得益于约翰?多恩和乔治?赫伯特的影响。在独立革命时期,美国文学逐渐形成了具有特色的民族文学,在浪漫主义思潮影响下的超验主义,极具本土特色的废奴小说。在南北战争时期,美国的现实主义文学逐渐开始发展,马克?吐温的乡土文学,詹姆斯的心理分析小说,以及黑人小说。在两战期间,现代主义思潮影响了以海明威为代表的“迷惘的一代”。二战后期,后现代主义思潮影响下的“垮掉的一代”,“黑色幽默”。英美文学的对比与分析范围比较广泛,本篇将以三大文学思潮:浪漫主义、现实主义、现代主义在英美的发展来进行对比。 一、浪漫主义思潮时期

浪漫主义是在现实生活的基础之上,以热情奔放的语言,绚丽多彩的想象,直白夸张的表现形式,抒发对理想世界的追求。浪漫主义思潮比较注重个人情感的表达与抒发,具有浓烈的主观色彩。一是英美文学都是以诗歌为奠基石,但所占的立场不同。浪漫主义文学分为积极与消极,英国浪漫主义代表作家“湖畔诗人”就是消极派的代表,他们对资本主义的工业与文明十分的排斥,大力歌颂宗法制的自然与社会生活。《抒情歌谣集》是华兹华斯与柯勒律治共同出版的,是英国浪漫主义文学的奠基之作,他们的理论与实践结束了英文古典诗歌的统治。美国浪漫主义文学是以惠特曼的《草叶集》为开端的,开创了美国民族诗歌的新时代,作者是站在激进的民主主义立场上进行歌颂的。二是美国的浪漫主义文学师承英国,但却富有美国色彩。美国作家受到英国作家的影响,同样喜欢抒发个人的情感,以及喜欢描绘异国的风光。但是在美国文学中突出表现的“西部开拓”却是一个极具特色的素材。在库伯《皮袜子的故事里》美国本土的自然风光与景物成为了人物品格的象征,形成了美国文学离开尘世,心向自然的传统。三是英国浪漫主义作品以诗歌为主,而美国的作品更加丰富独特。英国文学中第二代作家与“湖畔诗人”消极态度相反,主张争取民主与自由,雪莱的《西风颂》、济慈的《夜莺颂》。英文文学中也有具有代表性的历史小说、哥特小说。美国文学中有喜剧性寓言体小说、歌德式的惊险故事,边疆历险故事,社会现实小说。超验主义也是美国文学的一大特色。.

Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer’s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And of ten is his gold complexion dimm’d; And every fair from fair sometime declines, By chance, or n ature’s changing course untrimm’d; But thy eternal summer shall not fade, Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st; N or shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st: So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, So long lives this and this gives life to thee Selected Metaphysical poems by John Donne I. THE FLEA Mark but this flea, and mark in this, How little that which thou deniest me is ; It suck'd me first, and now sucks thee, And in this flea our two bloods mingled be. Thou know'st that this cannot be said A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead; Yet this enjoys before it woo, And pamper'd swells with one blood made of two ; And this, alas ! is more than we would do. O stay, three lives in one flea spare, Where we almost, yea, more than married are. This flea is you and I, and this Our marriage bed, and marriage temple is. Though parents grudge, and you, we're met, And cloister'd in these living walls of jet. Though use make you apt to kill me, Let not to that self-murder added be, And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.
