英诗欣赏入门

看到版主Andy如此煞费苦心，提高大家对英文诗歌的兴趣，我也有些手痒，来捧捧场。

下面这篇文章是我学poetry时找到的，可惜忘记了网站地址。

这个文章是有JPG格式的，更加容易理解，谁需要的话，请留言。

括号里的文字是我自己的一点理解和补充，不尽详实之处，望大家不吝赐教。

唯抛砖引玉而）Metrics in English Poetry By Samuel Schuman, Univ. of MN, MorrisMetrics How to go about the analysis of the rhythm, the meter and the rhyme scheme of an English poem.(作者通篇都是用下面这首简单的小诗来介绍诗歌)A Stupid PoemI put my hat upon my headAnd walked into the strandAnd there I met another manWhose hat was in his hand.First, divide the lines into syllables(音节), and count them:I / put / my / hat / up/on / my / head (8) And / walked / in/to / the / strand (6) And / there / I / met / a/noth/er / man (8) Whose / hat / was / in / his / hand (6)(诗歌分析的第一步是划分音节。

对我们这样非英语母语的人可能有点困难。

基本的方法是一个元音一个音节，例如upon是两个音节，another是三个音节。

有的时候诗人为了强调方言等原因，会使用省略字，这种情况就要具体问题具体分析了。

也有的时候是为了凑音节而省略的)Which syllables are accented or “stressed?”(重读)“Stress”in English poetic metrics means “said loudly.”It has nothing to do with the tension in your life. The symbol u means unstressed; the symbol / means stressed(诗歌里的重读，与一个单词本身发音里的重读未必是一回事。

英国经典诗歌欣赏《英国经典诗歌欣赏：丁尼生〈《尤利西斯》〉》一、原文：《尤利西斯》长昼将尽，月升日落；我听到，岸边涛声渐弱。

滩上暗沙，被海水洗过，我的航海者伙伴们，划桨击水，驶向归途；他们卸下肩头的桨，终止漂泊。

漫长的旅途，劳顿的身心，赢得了什么？港湾中的歇息，还有这黄昏时平静的海滨；并非什么丰功伟绩。

嗨，只保存这点精力，还经得起几次风雨？终点就在眼前，可生命的旅程，似乎才刚刚起步；我生命的黄昏太孤寂，我想利用这最后的时机。

我永不停止这狂野的游历，将我的生命付诸万里波涛；我曾享受过人世恩遇，也吃过不少苦头；且让我作最后一次远航，看黄昏星在西天的余光。

我怀着一种强烈的渴望，不达目的地决不下战场；也许浪涛会把我吞噬，也许我会到达幸福岛。

虽然我老迈，但我还有余力，风浪不动摇我坚定的意志。

我的水手们——意志与我相同，他们既受辛苦也享光荣；尽管被时光和命运削弱，但仍有坚强意志去斗争！岸和洋，也许是隔开我们的尸首，但是，无论如何，我的意向不变。

那时候，也许一息尚存的我发现，那未见的世界就在大洋彼岸；也许海水会把我淹没，也许会踏上异域的沙滩；那时候我看到的灯光，是佩涅洛佩手中的灯盏；她坐在家中心神不安，等待她丈夫归还——我迟归的灵魂呀，见到灯光就心安。

来吧，我的朋友们，去追寻一个更新的世界。

还来得及，趁着未老龙钟；虽然被拿走许多东西，但还有许多留存。

因为岁月虽然驯服了我们，但我们仍然豪迈英勇。

去奋斗，去探索，去追求，永不倒下。

二、衍生注释：1. “尤利西斯”：在希腊神话中是奥德修斯的拉丁名，他是伊塔卡岛的国王，以智慧、坚韧和历经漫长冒险旅程归家而著名。

诗中以尤利西斯象征着不甘寂寞、渴望冒险与探索的勇者形象。

2. “佩涅洛佩”：尤利西斯的妻子，她以忠贞著称，在尤利西斯征战与漂泊他乡的漫长岁月里，苦苦守在家中等待他归来。

三、赏析：1. 主题：这首诗的主题是关于对冒险、探索与生命意义的追求。

尤利西斯尽管年事已高，经历了众多的磨难和游历，但他依然渴望新的旅程，拒绝安于现状。

英语诗歌欣赏入门知识(2)Pestilence-strichen multitudes: O Thou, 瘟疫Who, chariotest to their dark wintry bed 战车 wintry bed: the earth…The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind, prophecy: 预言If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?狂野的西风，横扫黄色的落叶，预示着革命就要成功了。

最后两行更成了名言：冬天到了，春天还会远吗?以上都是英国诗，诗歌在美国也同样发展展快，以下介绍一位美国诗人Robert Frost(1874-1963)的诗The Road Not Taken(没有走的路)Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, 黄色的林子路分两股，And sorry I could not travel both 可惜我不能两条都走。

And be one traveler, long I stood 我站立良久，形影孤独，And looked down one as far as I could 远远眺望，顺着一条路，To where it bent in the undergrowth; 看它转到灌木林后。

Then took the other, as just as fair, 我选了另一条，同样宜人，And having perhaps the better claim, 挑上这条或许有点道理：Because it was grassy and wanted wear; 这条路草深，似乎少行人;Though as for that the passing there 实际上来往的脚印，Had worn them really about the same, 使两条路相差无几。

And both that morning equally lay 而且早晨新落的叶子In leaves no step had trodden black. 复盖着路，还没人踩，Oh, I kept the first for another day! 哦，我把第一条留给下次!Yet knowing how way leads on to way, 前途多歧，这我也知，I doubted if I should ever come back. 我也怀疑哪能重新回来。

经典英文诗歌赏析(全)一 nothing gold can stay1简介：《美景易逝(Nothing Gold Can Stay)》罗伯特弗罗斯特的代表作之一。

此诗于1923年写就，即于当年十月在《耶鲁杂志(The Yale Review)》上刊印出版，随后就被收录到弗罗斯特的一本名为《新罕布什尔州(New Hampshire)》的诗集中。

2诗歌翻译：Nothing gold can stay 岁月留金Nature's first green is gold, 大自然的第一抹新绿是金，Her hardest hue to hold. 也是她最无力保留的颜色.。

Her early leaf's a flower; 她初发的叶子如同一朵花,;But only so an hour. 不过只能持续若此一刹那。

Then leaf subsides leaf, 随之如花新叶沦落为旧叶。

So Eden sank to grief. 由是伊甸园陷入忧伤悲切，So down gose down to day, 破晓黎明延续至晃晃白昼。

Nothing gold can stay. 宝贵如金之物岁月难保留。

3诗歌赏析：这首诗揭示了一切真切而美好的事物最终定会逐渐消失的哲理。

它同时也使用了独特的技巧来表现了季节的变化。

想到了小时了了，大未必佳。

一切都是转瞬即逝的，浮世有的仅仅转丸般的繁华。

二 the road not taken1诗歌简介：这首名诗《The Road NotTaken》形式是传统的抑扬格四音步，但音步可变(含有很多抑抑扬的成分);每节的韵式为abaab 。

弗罗斯特写诗的特色就是善于使用眼前看似平淡无奇的事物，去表达一个深刻的哲理。

这正如他在一首诗中写的：“黄色的树林里有两条岔开的路/可惜我不能在同一时间走两条路/我选择了少人行走的那条/这就造成了一切的差异。

”诗人选择了诗歌，放下了在一所师范学校教书的职业以及那可能平坦，安稳的生活。

We were wherewe'd never not been， no matter where we were.And when the doctor got there?Everything outside was in a rage of wind and sleet，we were children， brothers， safe in the back seat，for once not fighting， just listening， watching the storm.Weren't you afraid that something bad might happen?Our father held the wheel with just two fingerseven though the car skidded and fishtailedand the chains clanged raggedly over ice and asphalt.Weren't you afraid at all?Dad sang for someone to fly him to the moon，to let him play among the stars， while Momheld up the lighter to another Marlboro.But when the doctor started speaking. . .The tip of the Marlboro was a bright red star.Her lips pursed and she released a ring of Saturn，which dissolved as we caught at it， as my dad sang Mars.When you realized what the doctor was saying. . .They were closer to the storm in the front seat.The high beams， weak as steam against the walled swirling，only illuminated what we couldn't see.When he described it， the tumor in the brain and what it meant. . .See，we were children.

英文诗歌欣赏知识第一篇：英文诗歌欣赏知识英文诗歌》英语诗歌的韵律dasha英诗节奏(Rhythm)构成英诗节奏的基础是韵律(metre)。

在希腊语中，“metre”这个字是“尺度(标谁)”的意思。

英诗就是根据诗行中的音节和重读节奏作为“尺度(标准)”来计算韵律的。

英诗的特点之一是与其他文体不同的排列格式。

各诗行不达到每页页边，每行开始词首大写。

几行成为一节(stanza)，不分段落。

各行都要讲究一定的音节数量，行末押韵或不押韵，交错排列。

……音节重读(stressed)，非重读(unstressed)。

……这就是一种正规的重读形式，在诗歌中即体现为韵律。

研究诗歌韵律规则的科学叫作韵律学(Prosody)。

1．音步(Foot)：英诗中这种重读与非重读音节的特殊性组合叫作音步。

一个音步的音节数量可能为两个或三个音节，但不能少于两个或多于三个音节，而且其中只有一个必须重读。

分析英诗的格律就是将它划分成音步，并区分出是何种音步以及计算音步的数量。

这种音步划分叫scansion。

根据一首英诗组成的音步数量，每一诗行一个音步称“单音步”(monometer)；每一诗行有两个音步的，称“双音步”(dimeter)；含有三个音步的，称“三音步”(trimeter)；此外还有四音步(tetrameter）、五音步、(pentameter)、六音步(hexameter)、七音步(heptameter)、八音步(octometer)。

Is this | a fast, | to keqp The lard | or lean And clean?(Herrick)2．韵律(Metre)：英诗的韵律是依据音步包含音节的数量及重读音节的位置而加以区分的。

传统英诗的音步有六种：即抑扬格(Lambus)、扬抑格(Trochee)、抑抑扬格(Anapaest)、扬抑抑格(Dactyl)及抑扬抑格(Amphibrach)：(Anapaest)、扬抑抑格(Dactyl)及抑扬抑格(Amphibrach)：“⌒”非重读音节；“／”重读音节。

英语诗歌欣赏入门知识英语诗歌欣赏入门知识英诗基础知识读英文诗歌相当不容易。

其中的主要原因是诗歌有其独特的语言特点和表达方式，与散文有明显区别。

为更好地欣赏英文诗歌，很有必要了解一些相关的基本知识。

这方面的知识极其细致，以下只介绍一些最基本的。

一节奏诗歌是具有音乐性的语言。

音乐作品的最大特点之一是音符的流动是有节奏的。

所谓节奏就是强拍和弱拍按一定的形式配合起来，有规律地反复出现。

正如音乐中的节奏，音乐中基本的节奏有两种，即强——弱(2/4拍)和强——弱——弱(3/4拍)。

举两个简单的例子：《东方红》的节奏就是强——弱：5 56│2 —│1 16│2 —│5 5│6i 65│1 16│2 —│《新年好》(HAPPY NEW YEAR)这首儿歌的节奏是强——弱——弱：11 1 5 │33 3 1│13 5 5 │43 2 —│23 4 4 │32 3 1│13 2 5│72 1 —│中国古诗有节奏。

其节奏主要是通过汉字特有的声调表现出来的。

传统汉语中的声调有四：平、上、去、入。

平声称“平声”，上、去、入三声统称仄声。

平声与仄声结合起来反复出现，就是中国诗歌的节奏。

如一首五言绝句，其最常见的节奏是：仄仄平平仄，平平仄仄平。

平平平仄仄，仄仄仄平平。

王之涣《登鹳雀楼》：白日依山尽，黄河入海流。

欲穷千里目，更上一层楼。

即是这样的节奏。

其中“欲”字是仄声，与格式不合。

但根据格律要求，诗行中的第一字可平可仄。

英文诗歌也有节奏。

英文没有平声、仄声之分，但有重读轻读音节之分，其节奏是通过重读音节与轻读音节表现出来的。

一个重读音节与一个或两个轻读音节按一定的模式搭配起来，有规律地反复出现就是英文诗歌的节奏。

我们知道凡是有两个以上音节的英文单词，都有重读音节与轻读音节之分，在一句话中，根据语法、语调、语意的要求，有些词也要重读，有些要轻读。

如he went to town to buy a book.. I’m glad to hear the news. 英文中有重读和轻读之分，重读的音节和轻读的音节，按一定模式配合起来，反复再现，组成诗句，听起来起伏跌宕，抑扬顿挫，就形成了诗歌的节奏。
