The Passionate Shepherd to His Love这首短诗是英国文学诗中最优美的抒情诗。
它继承了田园抒情诗的风格。
诗中的牧羊人享受着乡村生活,酝酿着对爱人的纯洁感情。
通过描写恋人们在无世事尘嚣干扰的山野怀抱中生活,作者传达了一种不可言传的真情。
英国最优美的抒情诗之一。
原文及几个版本的译文如下The Passionate Shepherd to His LoveCome live with me and be my love,And we will all the pleasures proveThat V alleys,groves,hills,and fields,Woods,or steepy mountain yields.And we will sit upon the rocks,Seeing the shepherds feed their flocks,By shallow rivers to whose fallsMelodious birds sing madrigals.And I will make thee beds of rosesAnd a thousand fragrant posies,A cap of flowers, and a kirtleEmbroidered all with leaves of myrtle;A gown made of the finest woolWhich from our pretty lambs we pull;Fair lined slippers for the cold,With buckles of the purest gold;A belt of straw and ivy buds,With coral clasps and amber studs:and if these pleasures may thee moveCome live with me ,and be my loveThe shepherds'swains shall dance and singFor thy delight each May morning:if these delight thy mind may move,Then live with me and be my love.译文1激情的牧人致心爱的姑娘来与我同住吧,做我的爱人,我们将共享一切欢乐;来自河谷、树丛、山岳、田野,来自森林或陡峭的峻岭。
(前)伊丽莎白时代(第二章~第三章)

三、The Pre-Elizabethan Period前伊丽莎白时期The150years between the death of Chaucer and the ascension of Queen Elizabeth I was a very important period in history.Humanism as a movement came into existence.①Thomas More托马斯·莫尔Utopia consists of two books with emphasis on Book II in which the Utopian weal republic is described in detail.重点是详细描写理想国的第二卷。
Book I is written in the form of a dialogue between More and a traveler by the name of Rapael Hythloday.莫尔和拉斐尔·希斯洛德的旅行者之间的对话。
hints at the notion that the whole work is not a manifesto but rather a n endeavor to explore the potential of human life暗示整本书不是宣言,只是试图探讨人类生活的其他可能Utopia,a kind of“Nowhere Land”曾经去过乌托邦,一个“乌有之乡”Utopia offers the best ideal social system possible that could be offered at the time.《乌托邦》指出了当时社会可能提供的理想社会模式。
Utopia is an imaginary country where democracy replaces tyranny,commonwealth replaces private property...there is no distinction between the rich and the poor,education is free for all乌托邦是一个虚构的国家民主代替了专政,全民公有制代替了私有财产...没有贫富差距,每个人都可以接受免费教育The limitation of Utopian Society:The Utopian society is clearly male-dominated:there is no mention of gender equality,no equal opportunity for administrative and religious jobs,no clear recognition of the female sex and their rights,but a very clear indication that the women folk have to submit to their men folk as,for instance,they have to kneel before their men and confess on days of religious observance.乌托邦明显是一个以男性为主导的社会:书中并没有提到性别平等,没有行政与宗教工作均等的机会,没有对女性和其权益的明确认可,但却明确指出女性应该服从男性,如他们在宗教仪式之前不得不跪在男性面前忏悔。

西方田园文学源远流长,文学史家一般认为希 腊化时期的特奥克里托斯是西方田园文学的始祖, 他的田园诗描写了西西里岛的牧人、农夫、渔民简 朴宁静的生活,影响了欧洲后世的众多作家。希伯 莱《 圣经》 中那和谐、 宁静、 古朴的伊甸园, 更是许多 人梦寐以求的乐园。自文艺复兴以来, 诗人、 作家们 出于对社会现实的不满,往往缅怀古朴的宗法制社 会, 寻觅梦中的伊甸乐园, 于是, 英国文学中相继出 现了大量的田园牧歌。在英国田园文学中,作家们 “ 多借 “ 牧羊人” 意象来阐释他们对 “ 爱情生活” 、 田 ” 园世界” 和“ 人品修养” 的体悟, 寄托他们的理想与 追求。 一

It comes from human interest in telling a story, in arranging words in artistic forms, in describing in words some aspects of human experiences.2What is Renaissance?1. DefinitionThe Renaissance (14th – mid-17th century), which means rebirth and revival. The renaissance, therefore, in essence, is a historical period in which the European humanist thinkers and scholars tried to get rid of those old feudalist ideas in medieval Europe, to introduce new ideas that expressed the interests rising bourgeoisie, and to recover the purity of the early church from the corruption of the Roman Catholic Church(罗马天主教堂).It is characterized with the growth of a more scientific outlook, major development in art and literature, new invention and overseas discoveries and a general assertion of human value and emancipation(解放) of the human intellect and power.3Summarize the periods of Shakespeare’s literary career and achievements?Shakespeare’s Literary Career⏹Four successive periods with increasing maturity◆1588-1593, the Period of Experiment and Preparation●Richard III, a melodramatic chronicle-history play, largely imitative of Marlowe and yet showing striking power●At the end of this period Shakespeare issued two rather long narrative poems on classical subjects, Venus and Adonis and The Rape of Lucrece◆1594-1601, the second period Shakespeare’s work, filled with chronicle-history plays and comedies●Richard II, Henry IV, Henry V, etc.●Midsummer Night’s Dream, The Merchant of Venice, Much Ado about Nothing, As You Like It●Romeo and Juliet◆1601-1609, the third period of Shakespeare’s literary career, in which appeared Shakespeare’s great tragedies and certain cynical plays●In these plays, Shakespeare sets himself to grapple with the deepest and darkest problems of human characters and life●Shakespeare’s four great tragedies⏹Hamlet: the struggle of a perplexed and divided soul/self⏹Othello: the ruin of a noble life/ man by an evil one through the terrible power of jealousy⏹King Lear: unnatural ingratitude working its hateful will and yetthwarted at the end by its own excess and by faithful love⏹Macbeth: the destruction of a large nature by material ambition◆After 1609, the fourth period of Shakespeare’s literary career, a periodof romance-comedies●Shakespeare did not solve the insoluble problems of life, but having presented them as powerfully, perhaps, as is possible for human intelligence, he turned in his last period to the expression of the serene philosophy of life●Cymbeline, The Winter’s Tale, and The Tempest(1) Shakespeare is one of the founders of realism in world literature. He maintains that the purpose of dramatic performance is "to hold, as it were, the mirror up to nature". In his works, he paints the decline of the old feudal nobility and the vice of the new Tudor monarch. Besides,his plays have good plots and life-like characters too. His dramais an expression, a monument of the English Renaissance since he wrote about his own people for his own time.(2)Shakespeare is amazingly prolific Within 22 years, he produced 37 plays, 154 sonnets,and 2 long poems. No two of his play invoke the same feeling or image among the audience. He is a master-hand for every form of drama-comedy, tragedy, and historical plays. He gives us a world of full-blooded people who live and struggle, suffer and rejoice-representing all the complexitiesand implications of real life.(3)Shakespeare was skilled in many poetic forms: the song, the sonnet, the couplet, andthe dramatic blank verse. And he is a great master of the English language. He used avocabularylarger than any other English writersMany ofhis new coinage and turns of expressions havebecome every-day usage in English life. Shakespeare and the Authorized Version of the EnglishBible are the two great treasures of the English language.(4)Hence, Shakespeare has been universallyacknowledged to be the summit of the English Renaissance, and one of the greatest writers the world over.3Chaucer’s Contribution?1. He introduced from Italy and France the rhymed stanza of various types, especially the rhymed couplet of 5 accents in iambic meter (heroic couplet) to English poetry, instead of the old Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse.2. He was the first great poet who wrote in English language (Middle English), thus establishing English as the literary language.3. He did much in making the London dialect the foundation for modern English language4What is the Enlightenment Movement?The 18th century marked the beginning of an intellectual movement in Europe, known as the Enlightenment, which was, on the whole, an expression of struggle of the bourgeoisie against feudalism. The enlighteners fought against class inequality, stagnation, prejudices and other survivals of feudalism.What is romanticism? What about its feature?1. The general feature is a dissatisfaction with the bourgeois society.2. Their writings are filled with strong-willed heroes or even titanic images, formidable events and tragic situations, powerful conflicting passions andexotic pictures.3. The romanticists paid great attention to the spiritual andemotional life of man.Personified nature plays an important role in the pages of their works.文学赏析Beowulf:---national epic(1) Goodness conquers evil. (Beowulf stands for all that is good, brave and proper, while the monsters stand for evil.)(2) Men against nature (The poem presents a vivid picture of how the primitive people wage heroic struggles against the hostile forces of the natural world under a wise and mighty leader.)(3) Judge the greatness of a human being by the greatness of his deeds and his noble ancestry.(4) Help thy neighbor.

His intellectual genius is outstanding. He is a close observer. He can easily see through people. His quick perception drives him to penetrate below the surface of things and question what others take for granted. He is scholar, soldier and statesman. His image reflects the versatility of the men of the Renaissance.The Merchant of V eniceThe traditional themeTo praise the friendship between Antonio and Bassanio, to idealize Portia as a heroine of great beauty, wit and loyalty, and to expose the insatiable greed and brutality of the Jew.The modern interpretationTo regard the play as a satire of the Christians’hypocrisy and their false standards of friendship and love, their cunning ways of pursuing worldliness and their unreasoning prejudice against Jews, here represented by ShylockParadise lost1.

An enterprising Englishman3. A laborer, a hard-working industrious and intelligent man.4. A typical colonizer, explorer, and a foreign trader.5.He is alert, vigorous and resourcefulBlake’s poems such as tiger 《老虎》and comments on Blank(1) Blake’s poems seem easy but difficult to understand for his mmysterious images andsymbols, unless versed in ( skilled at )religious knowledge.(2) Blake’s poems are full of emotionandapparentpresentation of his progressive democratic idea in symbolismComments1) Blake was opposed to the classicism of the 18th century.2) His poems were full of romantic spirit, imagery symbolism and revolutionary spirit.3) He was a Pre-Romanticist or forerunner of the romantic poetry of the 19th century.Comments on Burns & His Poems1.

总结 英美文学 诗人资料

Edmund Spenser 埃德蒙.斯宾赛A poet’s poet“诗人的诗人”,这是因为他对诗歌技巧、音律的把握远远超过了一般的诗人。
他在《仙后》中发明了一种特殊的诗节;每节9行,押ababbcbcc的韵;前8行每行10个音节、最后1行12个音节。
这种后来以他的名字命名的所谓“斯宾塞诗节” Spenserian Stanza因为9行内要换3个重复几次的韵脚,给写诗提出了很高的要求,历来被英国诗人看作是写诗技巧的一种考验。
The Faerie Queene 仙后采取中世纪常用的讽喻传奇的形式。
以亚瑟王(Prince Authur)追求仙后格罗丽亚娜(Gloriana)为引子,仙后每年在宫中举行12天宴会,每天派一名骑士去解除灾难,亚瑟参加每个骑士的冒险事迹。
它既有人文主义者对生活的热爱,也有新柏拉图主义的神秘思想,还带有清教徒的伦理宗教观念和强烈的资产阶级爱国情绪。
的用意是歌颂伊丽莎白女王,所谓仙岛女王格罗丽亚娜其实就是伊丽莎白女王的化身。
十二位骑士各自象征一种美德,他们受女王派遣外出历险,从事惩恶除奸、维护正义的英雄事业。
这种以长篇史诗的创作来歌颂当朝统治者的遗风是继承古罗马诗人维吉尔的。
contains 12 books, speaks of 12 virtues of the private gentleman, each of which tells a knight. Arthur—the heros of heros---plays a role in each of the 12 major adventures, serve as a unifying element. The theme is …Fierce Wares and faithful loves‟.•《牧人月历》(The Shepheardes Calendar) 作者最早的田园诗作,是仿照罗马诗人维吉尔等古代牧歌写成的。

牧羊人的恋歌
克马洛
来吧,和我生活在一起
在这里将使我们快乐无边:
这里有俊俏秀丽的山峦,
还有风光明媚的山谷庭园。
在那边,我两坐在山岩上,
看牧羊人喂养可爱的羔羊;
在浅浅的小溪旁,
鸟儿随着潺潺流水把爱情歌唱。
在那边,我将用玫瑰编一顶花冠,
用成千上百的花束做床,
用爱神木的叶子编成长裙;
一切都献给你,绚丽与芬芳!
从羔羊身上剪下最好的羊毛,
为你做防寒的鞋衬和长袍;
用纯金为你制作鞋扣,
该是多么珍贵,多么荣耀!
常春藤和芳草做的腰带,
珊瑚带扣点缀着琥珀水晶。
假如这些享受能打动你的心,
来吧,和我生活在一起,做我的爱人!
银碟里盛满你吃的美味儿,
如同天上众神所用的一样,
丰盛的佳肴将为我两
摆在象牙制的桌面上。
牧羊少年们在每个五月的早晨,
将为你纵情舞蹈,高歌入云:
假如这些欢乐能打动你的心,
来吧,和我生活在一起,做我的爱人!。
