像下边的这首童谣（A）至今仍然是常见的。

这些童谣能使俏皮孩子们快乐，因为它们节奏感强并且押韵，而且重复多遍。

这样就容易学，也容易背。

通过童谣中的文字游戏，教孩子们学习语言。

（A）小宝宝，别吵吵，爸爸给你买个小哩鸟。

小哩鸟，不会唱，爸爸给你买个钻石戒。

钻石戒，变成铜爸爸给你买个小镜子。

用五行诗，学生可以用少量的词语传递一幅动人的画面。

请看下面的（D）和（E）两个例子。

（D）兄弟爱美，又爱运动爱闹，爱叫，又爱笑是我的朋友也是我的敌人（E）夏天困乏，刺激干涸，枯萎，恐怖周而复始永无止境俳句诗（Haiku）是一种日本诗，由17个音节组成。

高中英语选修六课文翻译1. 《The Road Not Taken》翻译两条路分岔在我面前, 早晨清凉,草在未知处。

因我不能同时走两路, 我挑选了人迹更少的一路。

这样那条路虽然被草覆盖, 用的人很少踏到过。

哦，这样带着好久的土, 对那天早晨已不能区别。

而且，也许还有更多的日子, 我将去探索那条未去的路，直至回头看觉得更好，虽然这趟认识请求将会很久。

我将告诉这个故事有默示，在与年轻人分享时。

两条道在一棵树林里分岔，我选择了人迹更少的那条，而那决定将决定我未来人生。

解读这首诗是罗伯特·弗罗斯特（Robert Frost）的《The Road Not Taken》，是他最有名的诗之一。

这首诗通过描述一个人在面临抉择时的情景，探讨了人生的选择和决策对未来道路的影响。

诗中的“两条路”可以被视为人生中的各种选择和决策。

主人公面对这两条分岔路时，徘徊不前，表示他对于选择感到困惑和迷茫。

最终，他决定选择那条“人迹更少”的道路，表明他想要走一条与众不同的道路，追求自己的独立和独特性。

诗中的“草”和“土”等描写元素，可以理解为时间的流逝和经历的积累。

主人公选择了不同的道路，预示着他将经历不同的事物和人生体验。

而诗中的“将决定我未来人生”则强调了选择的重要性和影响力。

通过这首诗，我们可以理解到人生中的选择是不可避免的，每个选择都会带来不同的人生轨迹和经历。

在面临选择时，我们应以勇气和独立思考来做出决策，并对自己的选择负责。

2. 《Animal Farm》翻译一天，所有的动物都聚集在老麦克斯农场的大谷仓前。

他们受到一只老猪纳佩尔的号召，决定推翻人类统治，建立一个属于动物的社会。

在这个新的社会中，动物们制定了七项原则，即“四条腿好，两条腿坏”。

他们相信只要维护这些原则，他们就能过上平等、自由、幸福的生活。

然而，随着时间的推移，一些动物逐渐违背了原则，权力逐渐集中在少数动物手中。

最终，属于动物的社会变成了一个新的专制体制，和人类的统治并没有太大的区别。

A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they coule decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.One of the most important discoveries during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures. By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal,from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived andworke in Paris.The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepeted as the beginning of what we call "modern art". This is because the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exsist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates n certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there will be in the future?西方绘画艺术简史西方艺术风格变化较大，而中国艺术风格变化较小。
