不懂用诗的语言去描绘天空，天空它缺少一种色彩；
不懂用诗的语言去表达生活，生活它残缺一角。
To --
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory --
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.
The Lost Love 失落的爱
By William Wordsworth
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!
她居住在白鸽泉水的旁边，
无人来往的路径通往四面；
一位姑娘不曾受人称赞，
也不曾受过别人的爱怜。
苔藓石旁的一株紫罗兰，
半藏着没有被人发现！
美丽得如同天上的星点，
一颗唯一的星清辉闪闪。
她生无人知，死也无人唁，
不知她何时去了人间；
但她安睡在梦中，哦可怜，
对于我呵是个地异天变。
How do I love thee 我是如何爱你
How do I love thee Let me count the ways 我是如何爱你，让我逐一细述
I love thee to the depth and breadth and 我爱你之深邃，之宽广，之高远
height to my soul and reach,when feeling out 尽我的灵魂所能及之处
of sight for the ends of being and ideal Grace犹如探求玄冥中神的存在和美好之极
I love thee to the level of everyday's most quiet need 我爱你如每日必需
by sun and candlelight 阳光前和烛光下都少不了
I love thee freely as men strive for Right 我自由地爱着你，像人们争取他们的权利I love thee puetly,sa they turn from Praice 我纯洁地爱着你，如人们在赞美前会垂首I love thee with the passion put to use in my 我爱着你，带着我昔日悲伤时的那种激情old grides ,and with my childhood's faith 童年时的那种真诚
Come circle round and grow deep in our hearts, 围绕着我们
as long as we remember. 在我们的心灵深处回响
Say Over Again 再说一遍
Say over again, and yet once over again,
That thou dost love me. Thought the word repeated
Should seem"a cuckoo song", as thou dost treat it,
Remembei, never to the hill or plain,
Valley and wood, without hei cuckoo strain
Comes the fresh Spring in all her green completed.
Beloved, I, amid the darkness greeted
By a doubtful spirit voice, in that doubt's pain
Cry,"Speak once more---how loves!"Who can fear
Too many stars, though each in heaven shall roll,
Too many flowers, though each shall crown the year?
Say thou dost love me, love me, love me---toll
The silver iterance!---only minding, Dear,
To love me also in silence with thy soul.
说一遍，请再说一遍，
你真的爱我！尽管重复的言语
如同无味的“布谷鸟的歌”，你也确认如许。
记住，如果没有那串串布谷鸟之歌，
绿意满满的清新的春，就无法
降临在平原，山坡还有那树林和幽谷。
亲爱的，在黑夜围绕中，我只听到
痛苦中怀疑的呼唤：“再说一遍---你爱我！”
谁会害怕夜空中有
太多的星星，即使每颗都在苍穹中转动
谁会害怕太多的鲜花，即使多多点缀芳华
说你爱我！爱我！爱我！---声声
在银钟中回荡！---切切要记住，亲爱的
用你的灵魂默默地把我珍爱。
我得不到平静
I Find No Peace
——Thomas Wyatt
I find no peace, and all my war is done:
I fear and hope, I burn, and freeze like ice;
I fly aloft, yet can I not arise;
And nought I have, and all the world I seize on, That locks nor loseth, holdeth me in prison,
And holds me not, yet can I scape no wise:
Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,
And yet of death it giveth me occasion. Without eye I see: without tongue I plain:
I wish to perish, yet I ask for health:
I love another, and thus I hate myself;
I feed me in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain, Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,
And my delight is causer of this strife.
我得不到平静
——托马斯*怀亚特
我得不到平静，虽然我的斗争已经结束；
我惧怕、我渴望、我燃烧，然而又冷若冰霜；我想乘风翱翔，却又无法高飞；
我占有整个世界，却又一无所有，
我并未被紧锁，却如同囚在牢中；
我无法逃脱；
她不想让我活着，又不想让我的生命终结，更不让死神给我机会。
我看不见，哭不出；
我想死去，但又渴望平安；
我爱她，却又憎恨自己；
这苦酒，我只能独自咽下。
生与死都无法令我欢喜，
我喜欢的人竟是这矛盾的根源。
人生
Life
——William Shakespeare
To be or not to be ——that is question; Whether …tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them, To die—to sleep---
No more, and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to .?Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish?d. To die—to sleep.
To sleep—perchance to dream: ay, ther e?s the rub!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There?s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
The oppressor?s wrong,the proud man?s contumely,
The pangs of despis?d love, the law?s delay.
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th? unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would these fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death—
The undiscover?d country ,from whose bourn
No traveler returns—puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience does make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o?er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn away
And lose the name of action.
人生
——威廉*莎士比亚
生存，还是放弃生存，这是个问题；
怎样才算精神高尚？是默默忍受
那残酷命运掷来的石弹和利箭，
还是拿起武器反抗那重重的苦难，
用武力把它们消灭？——奔赴死亡——酣然睡去——
一切便都不复存在。睡梦中，
心痛与使人千疮百孔的折磨将全部终结。这真是
梦寐以求的圆满结局。——奔赴死亡——酣然睡去——酣然睡去——也许会做梦；唉，那也是一种磨难！
因为当我们摆脱了人世间的纷扰，
便会思索着在死亡的睡眠中将会出现怎样的梦境，
这定会让我们踌躇。一旦有了这种顾虑，
便会使漫长的人生苦难重重。
谁愿忍受这世间的鞭挞和嘲弄，
压迫者的谬说，傲慢者的凌辱，
被轻视之爱的痛苦，法律的延误，
官员的跋扈，还有那卑鄙的小人
对勤劳者的功绩的蔑视，
也许他用一把利剑就可
使自己解脱？谁愿背负这沉重的负担，
在令人厌倦的生活中呻吟、流汗，
若不是对死后的某种恐惧——
在那神秘莫测的国度，不曾有一位旅人归来——
蒙蔽了我们的意志，
使我们宁愿忍受眼前的苦难，
谁不肯投入那未知的世界？
于是，重重忧思使我们成了懦夫，
于是，坚定的本色
被忧思蒙上了渗淡的愁容，
而至关重的进取之心，只因这愁思而不再前行，
它已失去了行动之名。
If lovin you is wrong, i dont wanna be right click here If loving you is wrong...
I don't want to be right
If being right means living without you
I'd rather live wrong than right
My Mama and Daddy say "It's a shame..."
"It's a downright disgrace"
But as long as I've got you by my side
I don't care what my people say
My friends tell me there's no future
In lovin' a married man
If I can't see you when I want...
I'll see you when I can
If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right
If loving you is wrong, I don't want to be right
Am I wrong to fall
So deeply in love with you...
Knowing you've got a wife and two little children Depending on you too
Am I wrong to hunger
For the gentleness of your touch...
Knowing you've got someone else at home Who needs you just as much
Am I wrong to give my love
To a married man?
Am I wrong for trying to hold on
To the best thing I've ever had?
If loving you is wrong...I don't want to be right If loving you is wrong...I don't want to be right
Forget Not Yet－别忘了
by Thomas Wyatt
Forget Not Yet
The Lover Beseecheth his Mistress not to Forget his Steadfast Faith and True Intent
Thomas Wyatt
Forget not yet the tried entent
Of such a truth as I have meant;
My great travail so gladly spent,
Forget not yet!
Forget not yet when first began
The weary life ye know,since whan
The suit, the service, none tell can;
Forget not yet!
Forget not yet the great assays,
The cruel wrong, the scornful ways,
The painful patience in delays,
Forget not yet!
Forget not, yet forget not this－
How long ago hath been, and is,
This mind that never meant amiss-
Forget not yet!
Forget not then thine own approved,
The which so long hath thee so loved,
Whose steadfast faith yet never moved-
Forget not this!
It's your loving and your caring
And knowing that you're near
That gentle touch you have
Make my troubles disappear
是你的爱意和呵护，
知道你就在我的身边，
还有你的温柔和体贴，
让我所有的麻烦全部不见

Hidden in the deep mountains.
Though its abundance increase,

I want to kiss you, my baby,
I want to kiss you tonight.
我一直孤独入眠，
睡梦中你出现在我的眼前，
我要亲吻你，
我的爱人，
今夜我就要亲吻你。
If I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save every day until eternity passes away
just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
if words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
again I would spend them with you
如果我能把时间存入一个瓶子，
我要作的第一件事就是，
把每一天都存下来直到永恒，
再和你一起慢慢度过。
如果我能把时间化作永恒，
如果我的愿望能一一成真，
我会把每天都像宝贝一样存起来,
再和你一起慢慢度过。

And renew her beeauty past:
But, our winter come, in vain
We solicit spring again;
And when our furrows snow shall cover, Love may return but never lover.
趁现在可能，我们用用它，
把匆匆逝去的欢乐抓紧！
大地上会撒下它的冬衣，
然后又恢复过去的美丽，
但是当我们的冬天来临，
我们求春天回来可不行；
当白雪盖住我们额头的皱纹，
爱可能回来，但爱人决不可能。
没有你在我身边
Without you?
I'd be a soul without a purpose. Without you?
I'd be an emotion without a heart.
I'm a face without expression,
A heart with no beat.
Without you by my side,
I'm just a flame without the heat.
没有你？
我将是一个没有目的的灵魂；
没有你？
我的情感将没有了根基；
我将是一张没有表情的脸；
一颗停止跳动的心；
没有你在我身边；
我只是一束没有热量的火焰。
你让我迷失方向
If I were to fall in love,
It would have to be with you.
Your eyes, your smile,
The way you laugh,
The things you say and do.
Take me to the places,
My heart never knew.
So, if I were to fall in love,
It would have to be with you.
如果说我已陷入情网；
我的情人就是你；
你的眼睛，你的微笑；
你的笑脸；
你说的一切，你做的一切；
让我的心迷失了方向；
所以，如果说我已陷入情网；
我的爱人就是你。
我眼里的一滴泪
If you were a teardrop;
In my eye,
For fear of losing you,
I would never cry.
And if the golden sun,
Should cease to shine its light,
Just one smile from you,
Would make my whole world bright.
如果你是我眼里的一滴泪；
为了不失去你；
我将永不哭泣；
如果金色的阳光；
停止了它耀眼的光芒；
你的一个微笑；
将照亮我的整个世界。
爱岂在朝朝暮暮
Love me little,
love me long!
爱不贵亲密，
贵长久
我和你等于永恒
If I could save time in a bottle
the first thing that I'd like to do
is to save every day until eternity passes away just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
if words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then again I would spend them with you

【篇一】优美的英语诗歌范文带翻译Cut Grass Cut grass lies frail: Brief is the breath Mown stalks exhale. Long, long the death It dies in the white hours Of young-leafed June With chestnut flowers, With hedges snowlike strewn, White lilac bowed, Lost lanes of Queen Anne's lace, And that high-builded cloud Moving at summer's pace. 【篇二】优美的英语诗歌范文带翻译To Waken an Old Lady Old age is a flight of small cheeping birds skimming bare trees above a snow glaze.

优美英文诗歌朗诵3篇 优美英文诗歌朗诵篇1 youth youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind; it is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees; it is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, a vigor of the emotions; it is the freshness of the deep springs of life. youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease. this often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20. nobody grows old merely by a number of years. we grow old by deserting our ideals. years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul. worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust. whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being’s heart the lure of wonders, the unfailing appetite for what’s next and the joy of the game of living. in the center of your heart and my heart, there is a wireless station; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, courage and power from man and from the infinite, so long as you are young.
I wish I could remember by Christina Rossetti I wish I could remember that first day, First hour, first moment of your meeting me, If bright or dim the season, it might be Summer or Winter for aught I can say; So unrecorded did it slip away, So blind was I to see and to foresee, So dull to mark the budding of my tree That would not blossom for many a May. If only I could recollect it, such A day of days! I let it come and go As traceless as a thaw of bygone snow; It seemed to mean so little, meant so much; If only now I could recall that touch, First touch of hand in hand—Did one but know! Never give all the heart by W. B. Yeats Never give all the heart, for love Will hardly seem worth thinking of To passionate women if it seem Certain, and they never dream That it fades out from kiss to kiss; For everything that's lovely is But a brief, dreamy, kind delight. O never give the heart outright,
1.A Grain of Sand ——by William Blake To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour 2.Seize the day Gather the rose-buds while you may Old time is still a-flying And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying. 3.Dreams Hold fast to dreams For if dreams die Life is a broken-winged bird That cannot fly Hold fast to dreams For when dreams go Life is a barren field Frozen with snow 4.The furthest distance in the world
The furthest distance in the world Is not between life and death But when I stand in front of you Yet you don't know that I love you The furthest distance in the world Is not when I stand in front of you Yet you can't see my love But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both Yet cannot be together The furthest distance in the world Is not being apart while being in love But when painly can not resist the yearning Yet prending you have never been in my heart The furthest distance in world Is not but using one's different heart To dig an uncrossable river For the one who loves you
How to Analyze a Poem Going through each poem asking the following questions in an order something like this: 1.Who is the speaker? Is the speaker a male or female? Where is he or she? When does this poem take place? What are the circumstances? Sometimes you'll be able to answer all of these questions: For example, the speaker is a Duke, (eg My last Duchess). Sometimes you'll be able to answer only a few, and sometimes only vaguely: The speaker is unnamed, unplaced, and is addressing an audience that's unknown. No matter. You've begun to understand the poem. 2.What is the structure of the poem? That is, what are the parts of the poem and how are they related to each other? What gives the poem its coherence? What are the structural divisions of the poem? Think about the logic of the poem. Does it ask questions, then answer them? Or develop an argument? Or use a series of analogies to prove a point?
英语小诗10首 1．Life By Langston Hughes Life can be good, Life can be bad, Life is mostly cheerful, But sometimes sad.

优美英文诗歌10首 The Rainy Day The day is cold,and dark,and dreary; It rains,and the wind is never weary; The vine still clings to the moldering wall, But at every gust the dead leaves fall, And the day is dark and dreary. My life is cold and dark and dreary; It rains and the wind is never weary; My thought still cling to the moldering past, But the hopes of youth fall thick in the blast, And the days are dark and dreary. Be still,sad heart! And cease repining; Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all, Into each life some rain must fall, Some days must be dark and dreary. The Seaside Is My Home I live near the sea for years. The billow sound every night, Enlightens me how to be great, And how to look on greatness. Without seeing great mountains, I form no habit of looking up. I live near the sea for years. Too much water, saltier than tears, Floats some directional boats, Or other drifting boats
英文诗歌赏析方法 英诗的欣赏：诗的格律、诗的押韵、诗的体式、诗的评判。 诗以高度凝结的语言表达着人们的喜怒哀乐，用其特有的节奏与方式影响着人们的精神世界。诗讲究联想，运用象征、比喻、拟人等各种修辞手法，形成了独特的语言艺术。 一、诗的格律 “格律是指可以用脚打拍子的节奏”，是每个音步轻重音节排列的格式，也是朗读时轻重音的依据。而音步是由重读音节和非重读音节构成的诗的分析单位。重读音节为扬（重），在音节上用“－”或“?”标示，非重读音节为抑（轻），在音节上用“?”标示，音步之间可用“／”隔开。以下是五种常见格式： 1. 抑扬格（轻重格）Iambus：是最常见的一种格式，每个音步由一个非重读音节加一个重读音节构成。 As fair / art thou / my bon/nie lass， So deep / in luve / am I ： And I / will luve / thee still，/ my dear，Till a` / the seas / gang dry： Robert Burns（1759-1796）：My Luve Is like a Red，Red Rose 注；art=are luve=love bonnie=beautiful a`=all gang=go 上例中为四音步与三音步交叉，可标示为：?－／?－／?－／（?－） 2.扬抑格（重轻格）Trochee：每个音步由一个重读音节加一个非重读音节构成。 下例中为四音步扬抑格（少一个轻音节），可标示为：－?／－?／－?／－ Tyger！/ Tyger！/ burning / bright In the / forests / of the / night William Blake：The Tyger 3. 抑抑扬格（轻轻重格）Anapaestic foot：每个音步由两个非重读音节加一个重读音节构成。如：三音步抑抑扬格??－／??－／??－ Like a child / from the womb， Like a ghost / from the tomb， I arise / and unbuild / it again. 4. 扬抑抑格（重轻轻格）Dactylic foot：每个音步由一个重读音节加两个非重读音节构成。如：两音步扬抑抑格－??／－?? ?Touch her not / ?scornfully， ?Think of her / ?mournfully. - Thomas Hood 5. 抑扬抑格（轻重轻格）Amphibrach：每个音步由一个非重读音节加一个重读音节再加一个非重读音节构成。如：三音步抑扬抑格?－?／?－?／?－?下例中最后一个音步为抑扬格。 O ?hush thee / my ?babie / thy ?sire was / a knight. 在同一首诗中常会出现不同的格律，格律解析对朗读诗歌有一定参考价值。现代诗中常不遵守规范的格律。 二、诗的押韵

Schuller Failure doesn't mean you are a failure, It does mean you haven't succeeded yet. Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing, It does mean you have learned something. Failure doesn't mean you have been a fool, It does mean you had a lot of faith. Failure doesn't mean you ve been disgraced, It does mean you were willing to try. Failure doesn't mean you don't have it, It does mean you have to do something in a different way. Failure doesn't mean you are inferior, It does mean you are not perfect.

Such certainty is beautiful, but uncertainty is more beautiful still. 他们彼此都深信， 是瞬间迸发的激情使他们相遇。 这种确定是美丽的, 然而变幻无常却更为美丽。 Since they'd never met before, they're sure that there'd been nothing between them. But what's the word from the street staircase hallways— perhaps they've passed by each other a million times? 因为他们先前素未谋面,他们确信， 他们之间毫无关联。 然而从那街上、楼梯间、过道上传来的细语来判断—— 或许他们曾无数次擦肩而过? I want to ask them if they don't remember— a moment face to face in some revolving door?
perhaps a "sorry" muttered in a crowd? a curt "wrong number" caught in the receiver?—but I know the answer. No, they don't remember. 我想问他们， 难道不记得两人—— 曾在某扇旋转门中, 面对面相视的那一瞬间? 也许曾在人群中和对方咕哝了一句“对不起”? 曾拿起话筒和对方短促地说了句“打错了”?—— 但我知道答案。 是的,他们不记得。 They'd be amazed to hear that Chance has been toying with them now for years. 他们定会感到诧异, 得知缘分原来已戏弄他们， 多年。 Not quite ready yet to become their Destiny, it pushed them close, drove them apart, it barred their path,
