Sonnet 18 William Shakespeare 威廉.莎士比亚

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?

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 often is his gold complexion dimmed;

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

By chance or nature's changing course untrimmed;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st;

Nor 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.

译文

我怎么能够将你比作夏天?

你比夏天更美丽温婉。

狂风将五月的蓓蕾凋残，

夏日的勾留何其短暂。

休恋那丽日当空，

转眼会云雾迷蒙;

休叹那百花凋零，

摧折于无常天命;

唯有你永恒的夏日长新，

你的美貌亦毫发无损。

死神也无缘将你幽禁，

你在我永恒的诗中长存。

只要世间尚有人吟诵我的诗篇，

这诗就将不朽，永葆你的芳颜。

1.Discuss S ‘s use of the “summer’s day”. Why does he choose this image?

答：The poet compares his friend to summer, and then by describing the instability of summer to show his friend’s immortality. His purpose is to tell us that the power of beauty comes from man. The poet is praising the spirit of

Renaissance—Humanism.

2.What are the theme and the rhetorical devices of this sonnet?

答：The friendship between good friends and the eternity of their friendship. Rhetorical questioning, simile personification and parallelism.

The Chimney Sweeper William Blake 威廉.布莱克

A little black thing among the snow: 风雪里一

个满身乌黑的小东西

Crying weep, weep, in notes of woe! “号呀，号”

在那里哭哭啼啼!

Where are thy father & mother? say? “你的爹娘上哪儿去了，你讲讲?”

They are both gone up to the church to pray. “他们呀都去祷告了，上了教堂。

Because I was happy upon the heath, “因为我原先在野地里欢欢喜喜，

And smil'd among the winters snow: 我在冬天的雪地里也总是笑嘻嘻,

They clothed me in the clothes of death, 他们就把我拿晦气的黑衣裳一罩，

And taught me to sing the notes of woe. 他们还叫我唱起了悲伤的曲调。

And because I am happy & dance & sing, “因为我显得快活，还唱歌，还跳舞，

They think they have done me no injury: 他们就以为并没有把我害苦，

And are gone to praise God & his Priest & King, 就跑去赞美了上帝、教士和国王，

Who make up a heaven of our misery. 夸他们拿我们苦难造成了天堂。”

1.What kind of social reality has been reflected in this poem?

答:The use of young children as chimney sweepers. Children were often sold at the age of 7 to work as chimney sweepers. They were badly treated, without enough clothes, food or housing. They were placed in constant danger of suffocating or burning, and the soot caused

cancer and other serious illnesses that resulted in painful and early deaths

统治阶级: This poem exposes the hypocrisy and corruption of the ruling-class people. The political and religious leaders, represented by God, Priest and King, are hypocritically pious. They maintain a sumptuous life but ignore the poverty-stricken groups. Through the child’s simple statement, the poet intends to attack them for their indifference and ruthlessness.

2.Why is the chimney sweeper called “a little black thing”?

答: The little black thing is a little boy who is a chimney-sweeper. It is chimney-sweeping that has made him look black. “A little black thing” refers to poor child who has been made black because of chimney-sweeping.

She Dwell Among the Untrodden Ways William Wordsworth 威廉.华兹华斯

She dwelt among the untrodden ways

Beside the springs of Dove,

A Maid whom there were none to praise

And very few to love:

A violet by a mossy stone

Half hidden from the eye!

—Fair as a star, when only one

Is shining in the sky.

She lived unknown, and few could know

When Lucy ceased to be;

But she is in her grave, and, oh,

The difference to me!

译文:

她住在人迹罕至的地方

她住在人迹罕至的地方，

在白鸽溪水旁，

没有谁赞美这位姑娘，

更无人来爱赏。

她是青苔石边的紫罗兰，

秀色半遮半掩！

她美如孤星遥挂天边，

星辉烁烁闪现。没有谁知道她活在人世，

或者死于何时；

呜呼，伊人如今已仙逝，

苦痛唯有我知！

1.What does the poet compare the girl to? 答:A “Viollet” and to a “Star”

2.What is the importance of the imagery in this poem?

The Solitary Reaper

BEHOLD her, single in the field,看，一个孤独的高原姑娘，

Yon solitary Highland Lass! 在远远的田野间收割，

Reaping and singing by herself; 一边割一边独自歌唱，

Stop here, or gently pass! 请你站住．或者俏悄走过！

Alone she cuts and binds the grain, 她独自把麦子割了又捆，

And sings a melancholy strain; 唱出无限悲凉的歌声，

O listen! for the Vale profound 屏息听吧！深广的谷地

Is overflowing with the sound. 已被歌声涨满而漫溢！

No Nightingale did ever chaunt 还从未有过夜莺百啭，

More welcome notes to weary bands 唱出过如此迷人的歌，

Of travellers in some shady haunt, 在沙漠中的绿荫间

Among Arabian sands: 抚慰过疲惫的旅客；

A voice so thrilling ne'er was heard 还从未有过杜鹃迎春，

In spring-time from the Cuckoo-bird, 声声啼得如此震动灵魂，Breaking the silence of the seas 在遥远的赫布利底群岛

Among the farthest Hebrides. 打破过大海的寂寥。

Will no one tell me what she sings?-- 她唱什么，谁能告诉我？

Perhaps the plaintive numbers flow 忧伤的音符不断流涌，

For old, unhappy, far-off things, 是把遥远的不聿诉说？

And battles long ago: 是把古代的战争吟咏？

Or is it some more humble lay, 也许她的歌比较卑谦

Familiar matter of to-day? 只是唱今日平凡的悲欢

Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain, 只是唱自然的哀伤苦痛——That has been, and may be again? 昨天经受过，明天又将重逢？

Whate'er the theme, the Maiden sang 姑娘唱什么，我猜不着，

As if her song could have no ending; 她的歌如流水永无尽头；

I saw her singing at her work, 只见她一边唱一边干活，

And o'er the sickle bending;――弯腰挥镰，操劳不休……

I listen'd, motionless and still; 我凝神不动，听她歌唱，

And, as I mounted up the hill, 然后，当我登上了山岗，

The music in my heart I bore, 尽管歌声早已不能听到，

Long after it was heard no more. 它却仍在我心头缭绕。

1.How does the first stanza emphasize the solitary state of the reaper?

2.Is it possible to hear the song of the nightingale in the Arabian deserts or the cry of the cuckoo-bird in the Hebrides? If not, why did Wordsworth use these comparisons?

答：The girl is compared to nightingales and cuckoo-birds in a positive light, as through she is one of them, which shows her natural side, The vale profound “Is overflowing with the sound” and this also shows that she and nature are sympathetic to catch other.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

我孤独地漫游，像一朵云

William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud

我孤独地漫游，像一朵云

That floats on high o′er vales and hills,

在山丘和谷地上飘荡，

When all at once I saw a crowd,

忽然间我看见一群

A host, of golden daffodils;

金色的水仙花迎春开放，

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

在树荫下，在湖水边，

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

迎着微风起舞翩翩。

Continuous as the stars that shine 连绵不绝，如繁星灿烂，

And twinkle on the milky way,

在银河里闪闪发光，

They stretched in never-ending line

它们沿着湖湾的边缘

Along the margin of a bay:

延伸成无穷无尽的一行；

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

我一眼看见了一万朵，

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

在欢舞之中起伏颠簸。

The waves beside them danced;but they

粼粼波光也在跳着舞，

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

水仙的欢欣却胜过水波；

A poet could not but be gay,

与这样快活的伴侣为伍，

In such a jocund company:

诗人怎能不满心欢乐！

I gazed--and gazed--but little thought

我久久凝望，却想象不到

What wealth the show to me had brought:

这奇景赋予我多少财宝，——

For oft, when on my couch I lie

每当我躺在床上不眠，

In vacant or in pensive mood,

或心神空茫，或默默沉思，

They flash upon that inward eye

它们常在心灵中闪现，

Which is the bliss of solitude;

那是孤独之中的福祉；

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

于是我的心便涨满幸福，

And dances with the daffodils.

和水仙一同翩翩起舞。
