关键词:地方本科院校英美文学选读诗歌英美文学选读课程长久以来一直是英语专业高年级的核心课程。
然而高校英语专业目前遇到了前所未有的生存危机。
如何在危机之下进行课程设计成为每一个教师应该思考的问题。
笔者就此课程中的诗歌教学提出了一些想法,希望取得抛砖引玉的作用。
一.学校办学定位与学院办学特色1.应用型本科地方高校笔者所在的常州工学院目前“正向着建成特色鲜明的高水平应用型地方大学的目标不断迈进”。
应用型不等于重技能而轻知识，"高水平”三个字正向二级学院提出了高要求，即"让每个人拥有创造力，并学以致用”（学校概况,2019）。
2.学院办学特色至今关于高校英语专业的生存危机话题不绝于耳，各校卯足了劲儿在办学定位上暗下功夫。
笔者比较认同英语教育专家束定芳老师的观点，即英语专业想要复兴,那就“既要培养为社会现实需求服务的技能型人才，又要为为了能出学贯中西的大家做铺垫；既要服务国家和民族兴盛的大利益，又要满足个人就业或自我完善的小需求。
”常州工学院外国语学院也正朝着这一方向发展，致力于地方性、应用型、复合型外语人才的培养。
（学院概况，2019）o结合英美文学选读课程来看,2018级的英语培养方案对毕业生的要求是，学生必须掌握英语语言文学知识，并具备思辨能力，能够使用英语分析、理解和表达，具有探索和实践创新能力。
英美文学选读课程的大纲更加细化了教学要求，即希望该课程能够促进学生掌握文学批评的基本知识和方法，提高学生的语言基本功、人文素质和阅读、欣赏英语文学原著的能力，为学生今后进行文化交流和对话奠定必要的审美基础。

In the poems in eluding n My Last Duchess11, Brow ning chooses a dramatic moment or a crisis, in which his characters are made to talk about their lives, and about their minds and hearts. In "listening” to those one - sided talks, readers can form their own opinions and judgements about the those one - sided personality and about what has really happened.2. Symbolism is the writing technique of using symbols. A symbol is something that conveys two kinds of meaning; it is simply itself, and it stands for something other than itself. In other words, a symbol is both literal and figurative. People, places, things and even events can be used symbolically.A symbol is a way of telling a story and a way of conveying meaning. The best symbols are those that are believable in the lives of the characters and also convincing as they convey a meaning beyond the literal level of the story. Hawthorne and Melville were the two masters of symbolism. For example, the scarlet letter ,f a lf on Hesters breast can give you symbolic meanings. If the symbol is obscure or ambiguous, then the very obscurity and the ambiguity may also be apt of the meaning of the story.F.1.The name of the author is William Wordsworth, and the title of the literary work is H l Wandered Lonely As a Cloud11.译文如下：我独自游荡，像一朵孤云高高地飞越峡谷和山巅，突然，我望见密密的一群，那是一大片金黄色水仙；它们在那湖边的树荫里，在阵阵微风中舞姿飘逸。

marble diligently and patiently） ，Browning的诗 晦涩难懂(obscurity)； Tennyson 的诗给读者以感官 的愉悦 （acoustic and visual pleasures） Browning ， 的诗使人警觉，发人深省(keeping the reader alert and thuoghtful). 四、现代主义时期 现代主义时期，最具代表性的诗人就是T. S. Eliot. 诗歌选读是他的代表著 “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”. 由于这首诗比较难以理解，我 们把对作品分解如下： 1.The form of the poem: dramatic monologue 2.The setting: polite society (in which life is meaningless) (无聊的上流社会) 3.The content: the meditation of an aging young man over the business of proposing marriage(一 个日渐变老的年轻人对谈婚论嫁的思考) 4.The theme: contract between a pretented “love song ” and a confession of the speaker ’ s inability of facing up to love(虚假的“情歌” 与主人公面对爱情无能为力形成鲜明对比) 5.Characterization: Prufrock is neurotic, self-important, illogical and incapable of

二、 浪漫主义时期 浪漫主义时期，诗歌繁荣昌盛，可以说，浪漫 主义时代是诗歌的年代。这个章节的六位伟大的诗 人， 虽然创作思想迥异， 可以归纳为三个主要的特点： 1. nature images( 来 自 大 自 然 的 意 象 ); 2. dream-like atmosphere（如梦如幻般的意境）; 3. music beauty（音乐般的美感）. 在学习的过程中，我们发现，在这个时期的诗人 中，有一位比较独特，那就是George Gordon Byron。 除了具备上面谈过的浪漫主义诗歌共同特点外， 还有 两点值得一提： 1. 语言特点： ottva rima(八行诗体); 2. 人物刻画： “Byronic hero” （拜论式英雄）. 对于第一点，我们在两篇诗歌选读的中，没有发 现。同学们觉得比较难以理解和记忆。那现在，我们 从拜伦的巨著Don Juan开篇部分摘录一段，就可以清 晰的表明这个独特的语言特点。请看下面的ottva rima（from Don Juan: Dedication） ： Bob Southey! You're a poet--Poet-laureate, And representative of all the race; Although 'tis true that you turn'd out a Tory at Last--yours has lately been a common case;

《英美文学选读》中诗歌和戏剧的应试技巧（二） ------------------------------------------------------------------------------在3月9日的“ 《英美文学选读》中诗歌和戏剧的应试 技巧” 第一讲里， 我们简述了第一章 “英国文艺复兴” 时期三位诗人的诗歌阅读和理解。 本次准备讲第二章 “新古典主义” ，第三章“浪漫主义” ，第四章“现实 主义”和第五章“现代主义”四个时期中可能出现的 特殊的诗人以及他们的作品。除了对诗歌本身的特 点，比如：诗歌的意境，诗歌的语言以外，还探讨部 分意境晦涩难懂、主题比较宽阔、创作特点纷杂的诗 歌；同时，也将探讨美国文学部分现代主义时期的戏 剧作家（只有一位）的作品及其特点。 一、新古典主义时期 书上选择了两位诗人，他们分别是：Alexander Pope和Thomas Gray. 对于这个时期的诗歌创作的特 点， 可以有好多表达方式。 比如： proportion, unity, harmony and grace(对称，统一，和谐，典雅) 或者 是precise, direct, smooth, flexible (准确，直 截，流畅，灵活)，我们用四个特性加以表达，即： order, logic, restrained emotion and accuracy (有序性，逻辑性，感情受制性，精确性)。这四个特 点，基本上概括了他们诗歌创作的语言特点。既然强

调的是四个特性，Alexander Pope的诗歌便有了一个 鲜明的特点，引申出didactic说教性，或者satiric 讽刺性。 通过学习，我们总结Alexander Pope的诗歌特点 是：1. didactic; 2. heroic couplets; 3. plain style. 但是他特别的地方在哪里呢？我想，就在于 我们选读的诗歌内容方面了。概括起来，An Essay on Criticism这部诗（744行）的内容有三个方面：1. He laments the dearth of true taste in poetic criticism of his day (哀叹当时诗歌创作缺乏真正 的品位)；2. He offers his own ideas and presents the classical rules. (提出自己的主张，展现古典 创作原则)；3. He traces the history of literary criticism (追溯文学评论的历史)。 综合上面诸多方面， 我们可以得他诗歌创作的较为全 面的特点： 1. 诗歌内容：如上所述。 2. 诗 歌 主 题 ： a comprehensive study of the theories of literary criticism (对文学评论理论 的广泛研究)。 3. 语言特点：didactic, heroic couplets, plain style (说教性，英雄对偶句，朴实无华)。

action(神经兮兮，自以为是，缺乏逻辑，毫无行动 能力). 6.Characteristics: fragmentary appearance (支 离破碎)。 五、美国戏剧家 如果英国部分的四位戏剧家的作品比较严肃， 带 有古典意义， 即： 结构严谨， 故事情节精美赋有逻辑， 人物刻画栩栩如生，语言正规，以及采用多种戏剧技 巧，即使是英国现代主义时期George Bernard Shaw 的作品也是典型的现实主义延续, 而美国现代部分 的Eugene O’Neill与他们有着明显的差异, 创作风 格独树一帜： 1．Eugene O’Neill获得Nobel 文学奖（1936） ，被 称为“the founder of the American drama”; 2.受美国现代思想的影响， 探索新的戏剧创作形式和 风格， 表现主义（expressionism）在他的作品中， 处处可见; 3．语言上，采用方言（dialect） 。这点，毫无疑问 也增添我们阅读他戏剧作品的难度。

And now, my Epic Renegade! what are ye at? With all the Lakers, in and out of place? A nest of tuneful persons, to my eye Like "four and twenty Blackbirds in a pye; （摘自） 从以上的诗歌我们可以看出： 1. 诗歌的主题是诗人用滑稽史诗的形式（comic epic） ，讽刺和批判了“湖畔诗人” ，特别是Robert Southey诗歌创作中浪漫主义的失真和自我陶醉的情 感 主 义 (romantic fussiness and self-indulged emotionalism)； 2. 诗歌压韵形式是：abababcc. 第二点，诗歌中的人物刻画----拜伦式的英雄形象。 书上对这部分有清楚的解释说明。这里就不再赘述。 三、现实主义时期 现 实 主 义 时 期 两 位 诗 人 Alfred Tennyson 和 Robert Browning主要是他们之间的比较。 1. 共 同 之 处 ： 两 位 诗 人 的 诗 歌 形 式 都 是 dramatic monologue(戏剧独白)，但是，Robert Browning 将 这种诗歌创作形式推向于 完臻。 2.不同之处：Tennyson的诗精雕细琢（works on his
