高二英语Unit4 A garden of poems课本原文AENGLISH POETRYReading poetry brings people from different places and different times together．More than any other form of literature，poetry plays with sounds，words and grammar．That makes poetry difficult to write，but very interesting to read．Poetry also calls up all me colours，feelings，experiences and curious images of a dream world．China has a long history during which many of the world’s greatest poets were active．Poems by Du Fu，Li Bai and Wang Wei among others stand out in the halls of glory．When you have read some Chinese poems，you will have seen and heard some of the features that all good poetry shares．The form is very important：thenumber of lines and the number of characters in each line．Poetry often follows special patterns of rhythm and rhyme．Despite its short history，there is a lot of good English poetry around．The earliest English poetry was written in a kind of English that is now difficult to understand．Modern English started around the time of William Shakespeare，towards the end of the sixteenth century．The seventeenth century was a great time for English poetry．Shakespeare is most famous for his plays．His sonnets，however, belong to the best English poetry．In the next generation of great English poets we meet John Donne. Chinese readers admire his works because of his use of surprising images that reminds them of the works of poets such as Su Dongpo．Before the end of the century，there was another famous writer, John Milton．Once published，his work became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line．In the eighteenth century it was Alexander Pope who wrote the finest poetry in England．The next period that produced a great number of fine poets was the nineteenth century．Greatly loved in China are the English Romantic poets．Although they were all born in the eighteenth century, they wrote their major works in the early years of the nineteenth century．John Keats died at a very young age in 1821; while William Wordsworth，who spent much of his time in the English Lake District, lived to the age of 80 and r died in 1850．The nature poems by William Wordsworth，George Gordon Byron’s Isles of Greece and the sonnets and long poems by John Keats have long been favourites．The style and atmosphere in their poems has often led to comparisons with poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai．Finally, modern poets have their special attraction because they stand closest to us both in the language and images they use．Among them we find the American poet Robert Frost．The introduction of English poetry to China came late．Towards the end of the nineteenth century Chinese writers started reading more foreign poetry．The great moment for European literature to come to China is between 1910 and the late 1930s when famous writers such as Lu Xun and Guo Moruo translated both poetry and novels Into Chinese.More and more people are interested to read modern poetry in English．Translations can be good，but being able to read in English gives you much more choice．Besides，no matter how well a poem is translated，something of the spirit of the original work is lost．Reading poetry in English also opens the door to finding new ways of expressing yourself in Chinese．Finally, poems and literature can be bridges between the East and the West．They can help us to understand each other better, or as Mu Dan wrote：Quietly, we embraceIn a world lit up by words．Read the text carefully and choose the best answer．1. Modern English came into being from about the end of the __________ century·A. 16thB. 17thC. 18thD. 19th2. The poetry of John Donne reminds Chinese readers of the poems by ________________．A. Du FuB. Li BajC. Su DongpoD. Guo Moruo3. Byron’s Isles of Greece (1824) is an example of_______________．A. a sonnetB. romantic poetryC. nature poetryD. modern poetry4. The wider public in China discovered English poetry at the beginning of the ____________ century.A. 17mB. 18thC. 19thD. 20th5. The advantage of reading English poetry in Chinese translation is_______________．A. that you have more choiceB. that something of the spirit is lostC. that you understand it betterD. that you learn how to express yourself in new waysBSONGS AND POEMSWhy read，and sometimes even write poetry? That question is not difficult to answer if we change the word poetry to songs．I sing when I feel good．When I sing my favourite songs，I feel even better．Sometimes when I am listening to music and to the song words，I feel that it was written for me．A good song always makes me feel something．There are songs that I sing in my head between classes and songs that I want to sing when the school bell rings by the end of the day．They help me get through the day．They are like bright and warm colours in the middle of greys and shades．I like songs about love and friendship．The extraordinary thing is，my feelings are more special when I sing my favourite songs in English．I also like reading．I used to avoid poetry until an e-pal told me I should recite poems and not lookup the meaning of the words．Poetry uses many difficult words and idioms，but the best thing is to justforget about them．In the beginning I felt quite strange．Now I always lock the door Reading aloud gives you a strange feeling，but when you have some practice and fall into the rhythm，the rhyme andthe sounds of the words，it is really a special experience．I started with small poems，but now I think I most like long poems．I have different feelings with different poems．When I have had a bad day at school，I read Keats and forget everything．When I amsad I read Wordsworth by the light of a candle．When the poem is finished，I close the book and my sadness is gone．Read the following poems in class．Discuss with your classmates what they mean to you．DUST OF SNOWThe way a crow Has given my heartShook down on me A change of moodThe dust of snow And saved some partFrom a hemlock tree Of a day I had rued．By Robert FrostCIntegrating SkillsTHE BIRTH OF MODERN POETRYWhen asked about poetry, most people will say that a poem is a text that has rhythm and rhyme．Famous are the lines by William Blake，which have clear rhythm and rhyme：Tiger, tiger, burning bright,in the forest of the night．Other people will add that poems must have a certain form，with a fixed number of lines and a fixed rhyme pattern，such as a sonnet．With rhyme，most people mean the rhyme of sound of words at the end of the lines．It is also true that much of the classical poetry that we have looks like that．Except for some short songs and poems included in his plays，all of Shakespeare’s greatest poems are sonnets．John Milton was one of the first poets who started writing poems without rhyme at the end of the fines．He wrote other poems too，but he is famous for his long poems without rhyme．After Milton，almost every poet had a hand at this kind of poetry that was free of rhyme．Wordsworth and Keats wrote some such poems，but that is not what they are famous for．This style of poetry became known as free verse (自由诗)．It was not until the twentieth century that modern poetry was really developed．Modern poets wanted to break with all the traditional forms of poetry．One of the characteristics of modern poetry is that it usually does not have rhyme at the end of a line, and it is also often about common topics．In China，free verse was known and used much earlier．The following poem by Bai Juyi is an example of a poem written in free verse．( omitted )。
英美文学选读第四章笔记Victorianperiod第四章I.Multiple Choice1.Chronologically the Victorian Period refers to 1836~1901從時間上講，維多利亞文學時期恰好與維多利亞女王1836至1901年執政期相吻合，這一時間是英國歷史上最光輝燦爛的時期2.Although wrting from different points of view and with different techniques, writers in the Victorian Period shared one thing in common, that is, they were all concerned about the fate of the common people3.The author of the work“Dombey and Son” is Charles Dickens董貝父子是查爾斯。

下⾯是由带来的关于英美诗歌名篇选读，欢迎阅读!【篇⼀】关于英美诗歌名篇选读 A Musical Instrument Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806 - 1861) What was he doing, the great god Pan, Down in the reeds by the river? Spreading ruin and scattering ban, Splashing and paddling with hoofs of a goat, And breaking the golden lilies afloat With the dragon-fly on the river. He tore out a reed, the great god Pan, From the deep cool bed of the river; The limpid water turbidly ran, And the broken lilies a-dying lay, And the dragon-fly had fled away Ere he brought it out of the river. High on the shore sat the great god Pan, While turbidly flowed the river; And hacked and hewed as a great god can With his hard bleak steel at the patient reed, Till there was not a sign of a leaf indeed To prove it fresh from the river. He cut it short did the great god Pan (How tall it stood in the river!) Then drew the pith, like the heart of a man, Steadily from the outside ring, And notched the poor dry empty thing In holes, as he sat by the river. 'This is the way,' laughed the great god Pan (Laughed while he sat by the river), 'The only way, since gods began To make sweet music, they could succeed.' Then dropping his mouth to a hole in the reed He blew in power by the river. Sweet, sweet, sweet, O Pan! Piercing sweet by the river! Blinding sweet, O great god Pan! The sun on the hill forgot to die, And the lilies revived, and the dragon-fly Came back to dream on the river. Yet half a beast is the great god Pan, To laugh as he sits by the river, Making a poet out of a man: The true gods sigh for the cost and pain - For the reed which grows never more again As a reed with the reeds of the river.【篇⼆】关于英美诗歌名篇选读 Love in the Lab Jo Shapcott One day the technicians touched souls as they exchanged everyday noises above the pipette. Then they knew that the state of molecules was not humdrum. The ins criptions on the specimen jars which lined the room in racks took fire in their minds: what were yesterday mere hieroglyphs from the periodic table became today urgent proof that even here - laboratory life - writing is mystical. The jars glinted under their labels: it had taken fifteen years to collect and collate them. Now the pair were of one mind. Quietly, methodically they removed the labels from each of the thousands of jars. It took all night. At dawn, rows of bare glass winked at their exhausted coupling against the fume cupboard. Using their white coats as a disguise they took their places at the bench and waited for the morning shift.【篇三】关于英美诗歌名篇选读 The Jaguar Ted Hughes (1930 - 1998) The apes yawn and adore their fleas in the sun. The parrots shriek as if they were on fire, or strut Like cheap tarts to attract the stroller with the nut. Fatigued with indolence, tiger and lion Lie still as the sun. The boa constrictor's coil Is a fossil. Cage after cage seems empty, or Stinks of sleepers from the breathing straw. It might be painted on a nursery wall. But who runs like the rest past these arrives At a cage where the crowd stands, stares, mesmerized, As a child at a dream, at a jaguar hurrying enraged Through prison darkness after the drills of his eyes On a short fierce fuse. Not in boredom - The eye satisfied to be blind in fire, By the bang of blood in the brain deaf the ear - He spins from the bars, but there's no cage to him More than to the visionary his cell: His stride is wildernesses of freedom: The world rolls under the long thrust of his heel. Over the cage floor the horizons come.。

Truth is compared...to a streaming fountain; if her waters flownot in a perpetual progression, they sicken inti a muddy pool or conformity and tradition.1. 作者简介约翰·弥尔顿（John Milton，1608-1674），诗人。
弥尔顿的一生和创作大约可分为三个时期：他16岁时入剑桥大学，并开始用拉丁文和英文写诗；1638-39年间，他前往欧洲旅行，并同当时被囚禁的伽利略见过面。
这一时期的主要作品是一些短诗，比较优秀的有《利西达斯》（Lycidas, 1637）等。
1639年，英国革命即将爆发，他返回英国。
随后的20多年中，他积极投身英国革命，发表了大量的散文和政论文，为英国革命和共和政府奔走呼吁，其中比较著名的有《为英国人民声辩》（Areopagitica, 1650）等。
1652年时他双目逐渐失明。
1660年王政复辟，弥尔顿被捕入狱，但很快被释放，从此开始了他第三时期的创作，先后完成了最著名的以圣经故事为题材的三部长篇诗作《失乐园》（Paradise Lost, 1667）、《复乐园》（Paradise Regained, 1671）和《力士参孙》（Samson Agonistes, 1671）。
评论家认为，弥尔顿的作品同时体现了欧洲两股最重要的文学传统：以荷马和维吉尔史诗为代表的古希腊罗马文学和文艺复兴文学，特别是他的最后一部作品《力士参孙》，描写了主人公在失明后思想、精神上的升华，则在一定程度上映照了弥尔顿自己的一生。
