I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
By William Wordsworth
1
I wandered lonely as a cloud 我好似一朵孤独的流云, （Simile）
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,高高地飘游在山谷之上, （Simile）
When all at once I saw a crowd,突然我看见一大片鲜花, （Personification/Metaphor）
A host, of golden daffodils;是金色的水仙遍地开放,
Beside the lake, beneath the trees, 它们开在湖畔,开在树下, （alliteration）
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.它们随风嬉舞,随风波荡。（Personification/Metaphor
2
Continuous as the stars that shine 它们密集如银河的星星,
And twinkle on the milky way, 像群星在闪烁一片晶莹; （一二两行Simile/hyperbole）They stretched in never-ending line 它们沿着海湾向前伸展,
Along the margin of a bay: 通往远方仿佛无穷无尽; （三四两行Simile/hyperbole）Ten thousand saw I at a glance, 一眼看去就有千朵万朵,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance..万花摇首舞得多么高兴。（personification）
3
The waves beside them danced; but they粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳, （personification）Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:却不如这水仙舞得轻俏; （personification）
A poet could not but be gay；诗人遇见这快乐的旅伴,
In such a jocund company;又怎能不感到欣喜雀跃;
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought我久久凝视——却未领悟
What wealth the show to me had brought:...这景象所给我的精神之宝。
4
For oft when on my couch I lie后来多少次我郁郁独卧,
In vacant or in pensive mood, 感到百无聊赖心灵空漠;
They flash upon that inward eye这景象便在脑海中闪现,
Which is the bliss of solitude, 多少次安慰过我的寂寞;
And then my heart with pleasure fills, 我的心又随水仙跳起舞来,
And dances with the daffodils....我的心又重新充满了欢乐。（personification）
1. The poet: William Wordsworth (1770--1850），Poet Laureate“桂冠诗人”，Lake Poets 湖畔派诗人（与Robert Southey一起）
2. Background:Poem recaptures a moment on April 15, 1802, when Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy, were walking near a lake at Grasmere, Cumbria County, England, and came upon a shore lined with daffodils. (据说根据兄妹一起出去玩时看到水仙，被大自然的妩媚所吸引这一经历写成，体现了是人关于诗歌应描写“平静中回忆起来的情感”，emotion recollected in tranquility）
3. Theme：
1. Nature's beauty uplifts the human spirit. Lines 15, 23, and 24 specifically refer to
this theme.
2. People sometimes fail to appreciate nature's wonders as they go about their daily
routines. Lines 17 and 18 suggest this theme.
3. Nature thrives unattended. The daffodils proliferate in splendor along the shore of
the lake without the need for human attention.
4. Genre：Lyric poem
5. Rhyme Skill:ababcc, efefgg, hihikk, lmlmnn四步抑扬格？
6. Structure: four stanzas, each including 6 lines
7. Rhetoric(修辞）:Simile明喻，personification拟人，hyperbole夸张，alliteration头韵。（已在文中标出）
8. Some Questions
（1）What does the image of cloud suggest to you?
Loneliness, isolation, solitude, aimlessness, aloofness
I wandered lonely as a cloud---loneliness
That floats on---aimlessness
High over vales and hills---solitude, isolation
Cloud represents the feelings
of the speaker (the poet) essentially.
（2）What has cheered the poet up? And how?
a host of golden daffodils,
fluttering, dancing and glittering daffodils
Shine and twinkle as the stars
Stretched endlessly
The cloud-like poet is deeply attracted by the beauty of the nature and turns to be high-spirited, instead of being lonely any more.
（3）What has the poet meditated from what he has described? And the theme?
In loneliness or in low spirit, the recollection of the nature beauty brings him “the bliss”and “pleasure”in his heart.
Therefore the idea of going back to nature
is advocated and clearly expressed in this poem.
（4）Pay attention to the tense used in this poem. What does it indicate?
past tense
the recollection of the past experience will arouse a new sense of the old memories “what wealth the show to me had brought”
“the bliss of solitude/ flash upon that inward eye”
（5）What does the poem impress you most?
Use of image
Vivid description of nature
Daily language
9.诗歌赏析：（仅限参考理解）
这首诗基本上是用抑扬格四音步来写的。每节中第一行和第三行押韵,第二行和第四行押韵,最后两行押韵,这样就产生了一种强烈的节奏感,使此诗顺畅如行云流水,诵之琅琅上口,闻之和谐悦耳,极具音韵美。此诗的音韵美除了加强音乐性,准确地表现了音响特色外,还充分表达出渗透在艺术形象中的感情色彩,即诗人把优美的形式和深刻的思想结合在了一起,这方面无疑是最重要的。
二、视觉效果
《咏水仙》给人一种艺术美的享受。它的美在于它极其生动形象地摹画了水仙花,在想象中满足了我们的视觉欣赏要求。这首诗运用不同的修辞手段来转达意象,增强了诗的艺术感染力,
使诗的语言更加生动和富有创造力。在第一节的第一二行里,诗人用明喻把自己比喻成一朵流云飘荡在溪谷群山之上。这种表达要比一般的描述“我以轻快的步子来回走着”要形象生动得多。它充分表达了诗人的自由自在、无忧无虑及其悠然自得的神情。在第一节最后一行和第二节最后一行里,诗人运用了拟人手法:在湖边的树荫下,在微风吹拂中,水仙花千朵万朵起舞波荡,这两行生动地描写了水仙花优美的姿态。在第三节前两行里又用了拟人手法:“粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳,却不如这水仙舞得轻俏”,这两行就更加渲染了水仙花的外在美。美丽的水仙花深深地感染了诗人,使他内心充满欢乐。在第二节第一二行和第三四行中,诗人用明喻和夸张手法描写了一簇簇水仙花仿若群星璀璨,亮闪闪遍洒银河,沿着海湾向前延伸,通向远方,无穷无尽。这几行表明了美丽的水仙花开遍大地,显示出它们旺盛的生命力,同时也暗示了诗人对人生价值的渴求以及对美好生
活的向往。诗的最后一行又用了拟人手法,表明了诗人无论什么时候想起它们,心中都会充满快乐。水仙花成了诗人的精神慰藉,这就更加突出了诗的主题。上面这些意象交织存在、反复出现,把我们带到了开满水仙花的场面,如身临其境,触景生情,使我们完全被诗人的语言感化了。如果闭上眼睛想象诗中的语言,我们的脑海里就会勾勒出一幅大自然质朴的美景。
三、意境
《咏水仙》的美还体现在它的意境上面。《咏水仙》带有浓烈的象征主义色彩。诗中所描写的平静、欢欣的水仙就是诗人自己的象征,在诗中,诗人的心灵和水仙的景象融合了。水仙花使诗人产生联想,感受到了一份无比的快乐和幸福。这物与人,景与情浑成一体,契合无间,水乳交融。景是情的外化,情是景的内涵,因景而生情,缘情而造景,美的意境就产生了。
在诗的开头,诗人将自己比喻为一朵孤独的流云,孤单地在高高的天空飘荡。孤傲的诗人发现一大片金色的水仙,它们欢快地遍地开放。在诗人的心中,水仙已经不是一种植物了,而是一种象征,代表了一种灵魂和一种精神。一簇簇水仙花在微风中起舞,微微颔首,仿若群星璀璨,亮闪闪遍洒银河。粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳,却不如水仙花舞得如此轻俏,此等美景,如果不去田园山野,又怎能看得见、闻得到呢?在诗人的心中,水仙代表了自然的精华,是自然心灵的美妙表现。
在诗的末尾,诗人“多少次郁郁独卧,寂寞难耐,感到百无聊赖心灵空漠”的时候,水仙花可爱的景象便在他脑海中闪现,诗人为有这样的旅伴而欢欣鼓舞、欢呼跳跃。这时诗人写出了一种对社会的感受:在城市文明所带来的丑恶的现实社会中,那高傲、纯洁的灵魂只能是郁郁寡欢。这正好和以水仙花为代表的大自然的欢快、美好和淡泊形成了鲜明的对比。在诗人看来,只有在大自然中才能寻找理想,寻找安慰,寻找人性最后归宿的情怀;只有大自然能够启迪人性中博爱和善良的感情,能够抚慰人的心理创伤,使人得到真正的幸福。这首诗虽然是在咏水仙,但同时也是诗人自己心灵的抒发和感情的自然流露。
总之,华兹华斯的《咏水仙》语言清新淡雅,情感真切自然,观察细致入微,不愧为脍炙人口的名篇。
Summary, Stanza 1 ：
Wandering like a cloud, the speaker happens upon daffodils fluttering in a breeze on the shore of a lake, beneath trees. Daffodils are plants in the lily family with yellow flowers and a crown shaped like a trumpet. Click here to see images of daffodils. Summary, Stanza 2
The daffodils stretch all along the shore. Because there are so many of them, they remind the speaker of the Milky Way, the galaxy that scientists say contains about one trillion stars, including the sun. The speaker humanizes the daffodils when he says they are engaging in a dance.
Summary, Stanza 3
In their gleeful fluttering and dancing, the daffodils outdo the rippling waves of the lake. But the poet does not at this moment fully appreciate the happy sight before him. In the last line of the stanza, Wordsworth uses anastrophe, writing the show to me had brought instead of the show brought to me. Anastrophe is an inversion of the normal word order.
Summary, Stanza 4
Not until the poet later muses about what he saw does he fully appreciate the cheerful sight of the dancing daffodils. Wordsworth again uses anastrophe, writing when on my couch I lie and my heart with pleasure fills.

Sonnet 18 William Shakespeare S hall 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 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.

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,

南京大学 ——英语语言文学
下面给大家分享一下南京大学英语语言文学专业考研初试经验分享，希望大家都能考到理想的成绩。 本人英语专业应届生，一战。写这个贴一方面是自己复习的时候有时会感到有一些迷茫，觉得特别无助，希望我的分享能在考研党们迷茫的时候给大家的复习带来一些小小的帮助~ 还有一方面是用我的复习经历激励一下大家：我的复习时间推进看起来惨不忍睹，一切都没有按照计划来，到了还剩两个月的时候，我觉得压力很大什么都没看，觉得没有戏，准备好要二战了可是又很矛盾，不想二战，但直到最后我都没有自暴自弃，而是抓住每分每秒想尽量让自己爆发小宇宙创造奇迹，事实证明这是有回报的，请小伙伴们无论多痛苦都要坚持到最后！千万不要破罐子破摔想着再战算了，一战可以过就不要二战，这次可以过就不要把希望寄托在下一次！ 下面是我惨不忍睹的时间推进（这是我个人整体的复习推进，可以选择跳过直接看下面各科目的复习经验。这个放出来是想告诉大家就算到了最后什么也没看并不代表自己就应该自暴自弃，请抱着希望坚持到最后，坚持不下去的时候就来看这个喝鸡汤吧）： 2月： 决定学校、考研方向。看经验贴，记下要看的书目。心中并没有大体的复习规划。 3月-6月： 联系上一届的前辈，又确定了一些需要的书目。 由于该学期我在上美国文学的课程（教科书不同），就根据学校的进度缓慢地带着看美国文学选读（十分龟速，三个月一半都没看完）。这一学期除了自身课业以外，我一直忙着院里戏剧大赛的排练，又一时兴起在网上参加了一个翻译社每月都保证千字以上的翻译，另外我一直在做日剧的校对，所以给考研复习的时间可谓很少。但我一直在安慰自己，我做的这些其实也并非与考试复习毫无关联。但还是感受到了接下来复习时间的紧迫，我决定暑假一定要把两本选读过完。 7月： 按照计划，一边看常耀信的美国文学简史，一边看完了第一遍美国文学
英国文学赏析整理
Alexander Pope An Essay on Man （know then thyself） The poem is written in iambic tetrameter, every two line have the same thyme at the last word. The poem is important in the sense that it embodies the 18th century concepts of the universe and man’s place in it, that is man is made in the shape of God, and occupies a middle position in the Great Chain of Being. As the poet says sometimes we have too much knowledge and feel suspect about everything, but sometimes we have too much weakness and can not be as pride as Stotic, sometimes we seem to have the power to rule all things but sometimes we seem prey to all. We are in the middle place and sometimes we are confused about whether to act or rest. The poet perfectly describes man’s feeling about ourselves and about the world. Although Pope is never profound in thought but he is very adapt in voicing the idea of his contemporaries in a beautiful and clever way. Robert Burns A Red, Red, Rose The metrical pattern of the poem is basically in the ballad form, i.e. each stanza consisting of four lines, with four stressed syllables in the odd-numbered lines and three stressed syllables in the even-numbered lines, and with rhymes occurring on the even-numbered lines. The image of rose evokes traditional associations of beauty, love and romance. Its simple lyrics and straight form and expression of feeling make it a favorite choice for poetry anthologies and a most appreciated poem for readers. Incorporating various elements from folk songs, the poem is supposed to be a song sung by an Irish sailor to his sweet heart before his ship sailed off to sea, the exaggerated declaration of love “till the
