Epic

THE ILIAD by Homer, translated by Samuel Butler

BOOK I

Sing, O goddess, the anger of Achilles son of Peleus, that brought

countless ills upon the Achaeans. Many a brave soul did it send

hurrying down to Hades, and many a hero did it yield a prey to dogs

and vultures, for so were the counsels of Jove fulfilled from the

day on which the son of Atreus, king of men, and great Achilles, first

fell out with one another.

THE AENEID by Virgil

BOOK I

Arms, and the man I sing, who, forc"d by fate,

And haughty Juno"s unrelenting hate,

Expell"d and exil"d, left the Trojan shore.

Long labors, both by sea and land, he bore,

And in the doubtful war, before he won

The Latian realm, and built the destin"d town;

His banish"d gods restor"d to rites divine,

And settled sure succession in his line,

From whence the race of Alban fathers come,

And the long glories of majestic Rome

O Muse! the causes and the crimes relate;

What goddess was provok"d, and whence her hate;

For what offense the Queen of Heav"n began

To persecute so brave, so just a man;

Involv"d his anxious life in endless cares,

Expos"d to wants, and hurried into wars!

Can heav"nly minds such high resentment show,

Or exercise their spite in human woe?

Paradise Lost by John Milton

Book 1

Of Mans First Disobedience, and the Fruit
Of that Forbidden Tree, whose mortal tast
Brought Death into the World, and all our woe,
With loss of EDEN, till one greater Man
Restore us, and regain the blissful Seat,
Sing Heav"nly Muse, that on the secret top
Of OREB, or of SINAI, didst inspire
That Shepherd, who first taught the chosen Seed,
In the Beginning how the Heav"ns and Earth
Rose out of CHAOS: Or if SION Hill
Delight thee more, and SILOA"S Brook that flow"d
Fast by the Oracle of God; I thence
Invoke thy aid to my adventrous Song,
That with no middle flight intends to soar
Above th" AONIAN Mount, while it pursues
Things unattempted yet in Prose or Rhime.

Romances

Troilus and Criseyde by Geoffrey Chaucer

BOOK I

The double sorwe of Troilus to tellen,

That was the king Priamus sone of Troye,

In lovinge, how his aventures fellen

Fro wo to wele, and after out of Ioye,

My purpos is, er that I parte fro ye.

Thesiphone, thou help me for tendyte

Thise woful vers, that wepen as I wryte!

To thee clepe I, thou goddesse of torment,

Thou cruel Furie, sorwing ever in peyne;

Help me, that am the sorwful instrument

That helpeth lovers, as I can, to pleyne!

For wel sit it, the sothe for to seyne,

A woful wight to han a drery fere,

And, to a sorwful tale, a sory chere.

Idylls of the King By Tennyson

The Coming of Arthur

Leodogran, the King of Cameliard,

Had one fair daughter, and none other child;

And she was the fairest of all flesh on earth,

Guinevere, and in her his one delight.

For many a petty king ere Arthur came

Ruled in this isle, and ever waging war

Each upon other, wasted all the land;

And still from time to time the heathen host

Swarmed overseas, and harried what was left.

And so there grew great tracts of wilderness,

Wherein the beast was ever more and more,

But man was less and less, till Arthur came.

For first Aurelius lived and fought and died,

And after him King Uther fought and died,

But either failed to make the kingdom one.

And after these King Arthur for a space,

And through the puissance of his Table Round,

Drew all their petty princedoms under him.

Their king and head, and made a realm, and reigned.

Ballads

The Wife of Usher’s Well

There lived a Wife at Usher’s Well,

And a wealthy wife was she:

She had three stout and stalwart sons,

And sent them over the sea.

They hadna been a week from her,

A week but barely ane,

When word came to the carlin wife

That her three sons were gane.

Robin Hood And Allin-A-Dale

Come listen to me, you gallants so free,

All you that love mirth for to hear,

And I will tell you of a bold ourlaw

That lived in Nottinghamshire.

As Robin Hood in the forest stood,

All under the greenwood tree,

There he was aware of a brave young man

As fine as fine might be.

Lyrics --Auld lang syne

By Robert Burns

The Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And never brought to min’?

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,

And days o’ lang syne?

We twa hae run about the braes,

And pu’d the gowans fine,

But we’ve wandered mony a weary foot,

Sin’ auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidled I’ the burn,

From morning sun till dine;

But seas between us braid hae roared,

Sin’ auld lane syne.

And there’s a hand, my trusty fiere,

And gie’s a hand o’ thine;

And we’ll tak a right gude-willie waught,

For auld lang syne.

And surely ye’ll be your pint-stowp,

And surely I’ll be mine;

And we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,

For auld lang syne,

We’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,

For auld lang syne.

Western Wind

Western wind, when wilt thou blow,

The small rain down can rain?

Christ, if my love were in my arms,

And I in my bed again!

Hark, Hark, the Lark

By Shakespeare

Hark! Hark! The lark at heaven’s gate sings,

And Phoebeus ‘gins arise,

His steeds to water at those springs

On chaliced flowers that lies;

And winkling Mary-buds begin

To ope their golden eyes.

With every thing that pretty is,

My lady sweet, arise;

Arise, arise!

The Isles of Greece

By Byron

The isles of Greece, the isles of Greece!

Where burning Sappho loved and sung,

Where grew the arts of war and peace,

Where Delos rose, and Phoebus sprung!

Eternal summer gilds them yet,

But all, except the sun, is set.

The Daffodils
William Wordsworth

I wander’d lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o’er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host , of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the Milky way,
They stretch’d in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced, but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay
In such a jocund company!
I gazed –and gazed –but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

Dramatic

Hamlet

By Shakespeare

Hamlet:

To be, or not to be, --- that is the 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 heart-ache, and the thousand natural shocks

That flesh is heir to, --- ’tis a consummation

Devoutly to be wish’d. To die, --- to sleep;--

…

Julius Caesar

By Shakespeare

ANTONY. Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears!

I come to bury Caesar, not to praise him.

The evil that men do lives after them,

The good is oft interred with their bones;

So let it be with Caesar. The noble Brutus

Hath told you Caesar was ambitious;

If it were so, it was a grievous fault,

And grievously hath Caesar answer"d it.

Here, under leave of Brutus and the rest-

For Brutus is an honorable man;

So are they all, all honorable men-

Come I to speak in Caesar"s funeral.

He was my friend, faithful and just to me;

But Brutus says he was ambitious,

And Brutus is an honorable man.

He hath brought many captives home to Rome,

Whose ransoms did the general coffers fill.

Did this in Caesar seem ambitious?

When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept;

Ambition should be made of sterner stuff:

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,

And Brutus is an honorable man.

You all did see that on the Lupercal

I thrice presented him a kingly crown,

Which he did thrice refuse. Was this ambition?

Yet Brutus says he was ambitious,

And sure he is an honorable man.

I speak not to disprove what Brutus spoke,

But here I am to speak what I do know.

You all did love him once, not without cause;

What cause withholds you then to mourn for him?

O judgement, thou art fled to brutish beasts,

And men have lost their reason. Bear with me;

My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar,

And I must pause till it come back to me.

英語詩歌(2)

These things can never die這些美好不會消逝

--Charles Dickens/查爾斯.狄更斯

The pure.the bright,the beautiful, 一切純潔的,輝煌的,美麗的,

That stirred our hearts in youth, 強烈地震撼著我們年輕的心靈的,

The impulses to wordless prayer, 推動著我們做無言的禱告的,

The dreams of love and truth; 讓我們夢想著愛與真理的;

The longing after something"s lost, 在失去后為之感到珍惜的,

The spirit"s yearning cry, 使靈魂深切地呼喊著的,

The striving after better hopes- 為了更美好的夢想而奮斗著的-

These things can never die. 這些美好不會消逝。

The timid hand stretched forth to aid 羞怯地伸出援助的手，

A brother in his need, 在你的弟兄需要的時候，

A kindly word in grief"s dark hour 傷慟、困難的時候，一句親切的話

That proves a friend indeed ; 就足以證明朋友的真心；

The plea for mercy softly breathed, 輕聲地乞求憐憫，

When justice threatens nigh, 在審判臨近的時候，

The sorrow of a contrite heart- 懊悔的心有一種傷感--

These things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。

Let nothing pass for every hand 在人間傳遞溫情

Must find some work to do ; 盡你所能地去做；

Lose not a chance to waken love- 別錯失去了喚醒愛的良機-----

Be firm,and just ,and true; 為人要堅定，正直，忠誠；

So shall a light that cannot fade 因此上方照耀著你的那道光芒

Beam on thee from on high. 就不會消失。

And angel voices say to thee---你將聽到天使的聲音在說-----

These things shall never die. 這些美好不會消逝。

Let"s Smile! 讓我們微笑

The thing that goes the farthest toward making life worthwhile,

That costs the least and does the most, is just a pleasant smile.

The smile that bubbles from the heart that loves its fellow men,

Will drive away the clouds of gloom and coax the sun again.

It’s full of worth and goodness, too, with manly kindness blent;

It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.

There is no room for sadness when we see a cheery smile;

It always has the same good look; it’s never out of style;

It nerves us on to try again when failure makes us blue;

The dimples of encouragement are good for me and you.

It pays the highest interest — for it is merely lent;

It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.

A smile comes very easy — you can wrinkle up with cheer,

A hundred times before you can squeeze out a salty tear;

It ripples out, moreover, to the heartstrings that will tug,

And always leaves an echo that is very like a hug.

So, smile away! Folks understand what by a smile is meant;

It’s worth a million dollars, and it doesn’t cost a cent.

那最能賦予生命價值、代價最廉而回報最多的東西，

不過一個令人心暢的微笑而已。

由衷地熱愛同胞的微笑，來源：考試大

會驅走心頭陰郁的烏云，心底收獲一輪夕陽。

它充滿價值和美好，混合著堅毅的仁愛之心；

它價值連城卻不花一文。

當我們看到喜悅的微笑，憂傷就會一掃而光；

它始終面容姣好，永不落伍；

失敗令我們沮喪之時，它鼓勵我們再次嘗試；

鼓勵的笑靨于你我大有裨益。

它支付的利息高昂無比——只因它是種借貸形式；

它價值連城卻不花一文。

來一個微笑很容易——嘴角歡快翹起來，

你能百次微笑，可難得擠出一滴淚；

它的漣漪深深波及心弦，

總會留下反響，宛若擁抱。

繼續微笑吧！誰都懂得它意味著什么；

它價值連城卻不花一文。

世界上最遠的距離——泰戈爾

世界上最遠的距離 不是生與死的距離

而是我站在你的面前

你卻不知道我愛你

世界上最遠的距離

不是我站在你的面前

你卻不知道我愛你

而是愛到癡迷

卻不能說我愛你

世界上最遠的距離

不是我不能說我愛你

而是想你痛徹心脾

卻只能深埋心底

世界上最遠的距離

不是我不能說我想你

而是彼此相愛

卻不能夠在一起

世界上最遠的距離

不是彼此相愛

卻不能在一起

而是明明無法抵擋這一股氣息

卻還得裝作毫不在意

世界上最遠的距離,

不是明明無法抵擋這一股氣息

卻還得裝作毫不在意

而是用一顆冷漠的心

在你和愛你的人之間

掘了一條無法跨越的溝渠

世界上最遠的距離

不是樹與樹的距離

而是同根生長的樹枝

卻無法在風中相依

世界上最遠的距離

不是樹枝無法相依

而是相互了望的星星

卻沒有交匯的軌跡

世界上最遠的距離

不是星星之間的軌跡

而是縱然軌跡交匯

卻在轉瞬間無處尋覓

世界上最遠的距離

不是瞬間便無處尋覓

而是尚未相遇

便注定無法相聚

世界上最遠的距離

是魚與飛鳥的距離

一個在天空

一個卻深潛海底

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 plainly can not resist the yearning

Yet pretnending you have never been in my heart

The furthest distance in the world

Is not pretnending you have never been in my heart

But using one""s indifferent heart

To sig an uncrossable river

For the one who loves you

推薦美國詩人朗費羅的詩歌《人生頌》

A PSALM OF LIFE

-WHAT THE HEART OF THE YOUNG MAN SAID TO THE PSALMIST

Tell me not in mournful numbers,

"Life is but an empty dream!"

For the soul is dead that slumbers,

And things are not what they seem.

Life is real! Life is earnest!

And the grave is not its goal;

"Dust thou art, to dust returnest,"

Was not spoken of the soul.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow,

Is our destined end or way;

But to act, that each to-morrow

Find us further than to-day.

Art is long, and Time is fleeting,

And our hearts, though stout and brave,

Still, like muffled drums, are beating

Funeral marches to the grave.

In the world"s broad field of battle,

In the bivouac of Life,

Be not like dumb, driven cattle!

Be a hero in the strife!

Trust no Future, howe"er pleasant!

Let the dead Past bury its dead!

Act -- act in the living Present!

Heart within, and God o"erhead!

Lives of great men all remind us

We can make our lives sublime,

And, departing, leave behind us

Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,

Sailing o"er life"s solemn main,

A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,

Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,

With a heart for any fate;

Still achieving, still pursuing,

Learn to labour and to wait.

By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882).

人生頌

—－年青人的心對歌者說的話

不要在哀傷的詩句里告訴我：

“人生不過是一場幻夢！”

靈魂睡著了，就等于死了，

事物的真相與外表不同。

人生是真切的！人生是實在的！

它的歸宿決不是荒墳；

“你本是塵土，必歸于塵土”，

這是指軀殼，不是指靈魂。

我們命定的目標和道路

不是享樂，也不是受苦；

而是行動，在每個明天

都超越今天，跨出新步。

智藝無窮，時光飛逝；

這顆心，縱然勇敢堅強，

也只如鼙鼓，悶聲敲動著，

一下又一下，向墳地送喪。

世界是一片遼闊的戰場，

人生是到處扎寨安營；

莫學那聽人驅策的啞畜，

做一個威武善戰的英雄！

別指望將來，不管它多可愛！

把已逝的過去永久掩埋！

行動吧－－趁著活生生的現在！

心中有赤心，頭上有真宰！

偉人的生平啟示我們：

我們能夠生活得高尚，

而當告別人世的時候，

留下腳印在時間的沙上；

也許我們有一個兄弟

航行在莊嚴的人生大海，

遇險沉了船，絕望的時刻，

會看到這腳印而振作起來。

那么，讓我們起來干吧，

對任何命運要敢于擔戴；

不斷地進取，不斷地追求，

要善于勞動，善于等待。

Trust no Future, however pleasant
Let the dead past bury its dead!
Act, act in the living present!
Heart within, and God overhead!
If you fail, let it be!
Just try again until you made it!

別信靠未來，無論未來的憧憬多么可愛！
讓死亡的過去永遠埋葬！
行動，就在此時此刻行動起來！
堅定的心靈，上帝的指引！
如果失敗了，讓它去吧！
站起來再努力一次，直至成功！
成功要素
You must take a blow or give one,
You must risk and you must lose.
Be a man and face the battle
That"s the only way to win.
It takes a little courage,
And a little self-control,
And some grim determination,
If you want to reach the goal!
你必須接受打擊，或施加打擊，
你必須冒險，也必須付出。
做個男子漢去迎接戰斗——
那就是取得勝利的唯一途徑！
需要一點勇氣，
也需要一點自我克制，
還需要幾分嚴峻的決心，
倘若你要達到物標！
夢 想
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.
緊緊地抓住夢想
因為一旦夢想破滅
人生將是斷翅的鳥
再也不能飛翔
緊緊地抓住夢想
因為一旦夢想消失
人生猶如一片荒原
終年雪地冰天

1. THE SIGNIFICANCE OF FAILURE

　　Robert H. 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. Failure doesn’t mean you’ve wasted your life，It does mean you have a reason to start afresh. Failure doesn’t mean you should give up，It does mean you must try harder. Failure doesn’t mean you’ll never make it，It does mean it will take a little longer. Failure doesn’t mean God has abandoned you，It does mean God has a better idea.

　　失敗的意義

　　羅伯特·H·舒勒 陳采霞譯

　　失敗并不代表你是個失敗者，它只表明你尚未成功。失敗并不代表你一無所獲，它只表明你吸取了一次教訓。失敗并不代表你很愚蠢，它只表明你信心百倍。失敗并不代表你無臉見人，它只表明你百折不回。失敗并不代表你工夫白費，它只表明你的做事方法尚待改進。失敗并不代表你低人一等。它只表明你并非完人。失敗并不代表你浪費生命，它只表明你有理由重新開始。失敗并不代表你應該放棄，它只表明你要加倍努力。失敗并不代表成功永不屬于你，它只表明你要付出更多的時間。失敗并不代表上帝已經拋棄你，它只表明上帝還有更好的主意。

　

　2. FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE Neil Simon

　　Don t listen to those who say，"It’s not done that way.” Maybe it’s not， but maybe you will. Don’t listen to those who say，"You’re taking too big a chance.” Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor，and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most importantly, don’t listen When the little voice of fear inside of your ear its ugly head and says，"They’re all smarter than you out there. They’re more talented，They’re taller， blonder， prettier， luckier and have connections……"I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you，Not to the exclusion of love，sensitivity， and cooperation with others，But with the strength of conviction That you can move others by your own efforts，And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live，The chances are you’ll be a person worthy of your own respect.

　　走自己的路 尼爾·西蒙 陳采霞譯

　　別聽那些人的話，"這事不能那么做。"也許是不能那么做，可是也許你就會那么做。別聽那些人的話，"你這個險冒得太大了。"米開朗琪羅可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作過畫，到今天肯定已經被抹掉了。最重要的是，當你心中恐懼的聲音，抬起它丑陋的頭說，"那邊那些人都比你聰明，他們更有才華，他們更高大、皮膚更白、更漂亮、更幸運，并且認識各種各樣的人…"你可千萬別理會。我堅信只要選擇一條你感興趣的路，不排除愛情、敏銳以及與別人的合作，而是堅定地認為，通過你自身的努力能夠感動他人，不把成功或者失敗作為你生活的標準，那么你就可能成為值得自己敬佩的人。

　3. FAITH Napoleon Hill

　　Faith is the "eternal elixir [i"liks?] " Which gives life， power, and action to the impulse of thought！Faith is the starting point of all accumulation of riches！Faith is the basis of all "miracles"，And all mysteries which cannot be analyzed by the rules of science！Faith is the only known antidote(解藥) for failure！Faith is the element，the "chemical" which，When mixed with prayer，gives one direct communication with Infinite Intelligence. Faith is the element which transforms the ordinary vibration of thought，created by the finite mind of man，into the spiritual equivalent. Faith is the only agency through which the cosmic force of Infinite Intelligence can be harnessed （利用；使用）and used by man.

　　信念 拿破侖·希爾 陳采霞譯

　　信念是"永恒的萬應靈藥"，它賦予突發奇想以生命、力量和行動！信念是所有財富積累的起點！信念是一切"奇跡"以及所有科學法則無法分析的奧秘的根基！信念是惟一已知失敗之解藥！信念是重要元素、"化學物質"，一旦與祈禱結合便會使你與上帝直接溝通。人類的智慧固然有限，普通的靈感閃現一經信念指點，便會轉換成精神震撼。信念是惟一的中介，通過它上帝的宇宙力會成為人類開發和利用的資源。

　　4. ON CHANGES Irene Dunlap

　　Change is the only absolute in the world，the only thing that you can depend on. Nothing stays the same. Tomorrow will come，bringing with it new beginnings and sometimes unexpected endings. You can hold on to the past and get left in the dust；or， you can choose to jump on the ride of life and live a new adventure with perseverance and an open mind.

　　論變化 艾琳·鄧萊普 陳采霞譯

　　變化是世界上惟一絕對的東西，是惟一你能相信的事情。沒有什么能一成不變，明天將來臨，它會帶來新的開始，并且有時還會帶來意想不到的結局。你可以抓住過去，蒙受遺棄；或者，你可以選擇躍上生命之車進行一次新的冒險，憑借堅持不懈

　　5. RESULTS AND ROSES Edgar Albert Guest

　　The man who wants a garden fair，Or small or very big，With flowers growing here and there，Must bend his back and dig. The things are mighty few on earth，That wishes can attain，Whatever we want of any worth，We’ve got to work to gain. It matters not what goal you seek，Its secret here reposes（依靠，信賴）：You’ve got to dig from week to week，To get results or roses.

　　碩果和玫瑰 埃德加·阿爾貝特·格斯特 陳采霞譯

　　要想有個美麗花園，面積大小姑且不管，只要園中長滿鮮花，就必須把汗水揮灑。有愿望就能實現，這樣的事還真是少見，只要想要的東西有價值，就得靠努力去創造。目標是什么并不重要，秘訣終歸只有一條：周復一周不怕勞累，才能收獲碩果或者玫瑰。

　　6. THE VALUE OF TIME Katharine Sun

　　To realize the value of one year：Ask a student who has failed a final exam. To realize the value of one month：Ask a mother who has given birth to a premature baby. To realize the value of one week：Ask an editor of a weekly newspaper. To realize the value of one hour：Ask the lovers who are waiting to meet. To realize the value of one minute：Ask a person who has missed the train， bus or plane. To realize the value of one second：Ask a person who has survived an accident. To realize the value of one millisecond：Ask the person who has won a silver medal in the Olympics. Time waits for no one. Treasure every moment you have.

　　時間的價值 凱瑟琳·桑 陳采霞譯

　　要想知道一年的價值，那就去問期末考試不及格的學生。要想知道一個月的價值，那就去問生了早產兒的母親。要想知道一周的價值，那就去問周報的編輯。要想知道一小時的價值，那就去問等待見面的戀人。要想知道一分鐘的價值，那就去問誤了火車、汽車或者飛機的人。要想知道一秒鐘的價值，那就去問大難不死的人。要想知道一毫秒的價值，那就去問奧運會獲得銀牌的人。時間不等人，你擁有的每一刻都要珍惜。

　　7. TODAY IS A NEW DAY Donna Levine

　　Your tomorrows are as bright as you want to make them. There is no reason to carry the darkness of the past with you into today. Today is a wonderful new experience，full of every possibility to make your life exactly what you want it to be. Today is the beginning of new happiness，new directions and new relationships. Today is the day to remind yourself that you posses the power and strength you need to bring contentment（滿足），love and joy into your life. Today is the day to understand yourself and to give yourself the love and the patience that you need. Today is the day to move forward towards your bright tomorrow.

　　今天是新的一天 唐那·萊文 陳采霞譯

?　　你的明天充滿陽光，如你心中所想。你沒有理由，把昨天的黑暗，帶到今天。今天是美妙的全新體驗，有那么多種可能，使你的生活如你所愿。今天開始有新的幸福，新的方向和新的伙伴。今天你要提醒自己，你有足夠的能力和力量，把滿意、愛情和歡樂帶進你的生活。今天你要了解自己，給自己足夠的愛心和耐心。今天你會勇往直前，奔向那燦爛的明天。

　8. DREAMS Langston Hughes

　　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.

　　夢想 蘭斯頓·休斯 陳采霞譯

　　緊緊抓住夢想，因為一旦夢想消亡，生活就象折斷翅膀的小鳥，無法自由翱翔。緊緊抓住夢想，因為一旦夢想離開，生活就會變成貧瘠荒蕪的土地，只有冰雪覆蓋。　

　9. THE ROAD NOT TAKEN

　　Robert Frost

　　Two roads diverged in a yellow wood，

　　And sorry I could not travel both

　　And be one traveler, long I stood

　　And looked down one as far as I could

　　To where it bent in the undergrowth；

　　Then took the other, as just as fair，

　　And having perhaps the better claim，

　　Because it was grassy and wanted wear(磨損)；

　　Though as for that the passing there

　　Had worn them really about the same，

　　And both that morning equally lay

　　In leaves no step had trodden（踩） black.

　　Oh，I kept the first for another day！

　　Yet knowing how way leads on to way，

　　I doubted if I should ever come back.

　　I shall be telling this with a sigh

　　Somewhere ages and ages hence：

　　Two roads diverged in a wood，and I

　　I took the one less traveled by，

　　And that has made all the difference.

　　沒有走過的路

　　羅伯特·弗羅斯特 陳采霞譯

　　金色的樹林路分兩條，

　　遺憾不能兩條都到。

　　孤獨的我長久佇立，

　　極日眺望其中一條，

　　直到它在灌叢中淹沒掉。

　　然后我公平地選擇了另外一條，

　　或許理由更加充分，

　　因為它草深需要有人上去走走。

　　說到有多少人從上面走過

　　兩條路磨損得還真是差不多。

　　而且那天早晨兩條路都靜靜地躺著，

　　覆蓋在上面的樹葉都沒有被踩黑，

　　噢，我把第一條路留給了下一次！

　　但我知道前方的路變幻莫測，

　　我懷疑我是否應該回來……

　　多年以后在某個地方，

　　我將嘆息著講述這件事：

　　樹林里路分兩條，而我——

　　選擇了行人較少的那條，

　　就這樣一切便發生了改變。

　10. WHAT IS SUCCESS

　　Ralph Waldo Emerson

　　What is success？

　　To laugh often and love much；

　　To win the respect of intelligent people

　　And the affection of children；

　　To earn the approbation（認可，嘉許） of honest critics

　　And endure the betrayal of false friends；

　　To appreciate beauty；

　　To find the best in others；

　　To give oneself；

　　To leave the world a little better，

　　Whether by a healthy child，

　　A garden patch，

　　Or a redeemed social condition；

　　To have played and laughed with enthusiasm

　　And sung with exultation；（大悅，歡欣）

　　To know even one life has breathed easier，

　　Because you have lived……

　　This is to have succeeded.

　成功的內涵

　　拉爾夫·沃爾多·愛默生 陳采霞譯

　　成功是什么？

　　笑口常開，愛心永在，

　　贏得智者的尊重，

　　孩子們的愛戴；

　　博得真誠的認可，

　　容忍損友的背叛；

　　欣賞美好的東西，

　　發現別人的可愛。

　　學會無私地奉獻，

　　給世界增添光彩：

　　要么培育出健康的孩子，

　　要么留下花園一塊，

　　亦或是改善社會條件；

　　盡情娛樂、笑得暢快，

　　把歡樂的歌唱起來；

　　甚至知道一個生命活得自在，

　　因為你的一路走來……

　　這就是成功的內涵。

英語詩歌(4)

我如云般孤獨漂浮——威廉?華茲華斯

《我如云般孤獨漂浮》（或譯《水仙花》《詠水仙》）是華茲華斯浪漫主義詩歌代表作之一。因其文筆樸素清新，自然流暢，廣為流傳。黃水仙是英國有代表性的花卉品種，在三月間開遍英國的水澤山野和許多人家的花園。她們給詩人帶來了靈感。

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

by William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud

That floats on high o"er vales and hills,

When all at once I saw a crowd,

A host, of golden daffodils;

Beside the lake, beneath the trees,

Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they

Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:

A poet could not but be gay,

In such a jocund company:

I gazed-and gazed-but little thought

What wealth the show to me had brought.

For oft, when on my couch I lie

In vacant or in pensive mood,

They flash upon that inward eye

Which is the bliss of solitude;

And then my heart with pleasure fills,

And dances with the daffodils.

翻譯一種（飛白 譯）

水仙花

我孤獨地漫游，像一朵云

在山丘和谷地上飄蕩，

忽然間我看見一群

金色的水仙花迎春開放，

在樹蔭下，在湖水邊，

迎著微風起舞翩翩。

連綿不絕，如繁星燦爛，

在銀河里閃閃發光，

它們沿著湖灣的邊緣

延伸成無窮無盡的一行；

我一眼看見了一萬朵，

在歡舞之中起伏顛簸。

粼粼波光也在跳著舞，

水仙的歡欣卻勝過水波；

與這樣快活的伴侶為伍，

詩人怎能不滿心歡樂！

我久久凝望，卻想象不到

這奇景賦予我多少財寶。

每當我躺在床上不眠，

或心神空茫，或默默沉思，

它們常在心靈中閃現，

那是孤獨之中的福祉；

于是我的心便漲滿幸福，

和水仙一同翩翩起舞。

About the Author:

關于作者：

William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was a major English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with the 1798 joint publication Lyrical Ballads. Wordsworth was Britain"s Poet Laureate from 1843 until his death in 1850. He continues to be widely read, and his influence is extremely far reaching. Many of his poems continue to be among the most popular and critically acclaimed in the English language.（來源：Wikipedia）

威廉·華茲華斯（1770~1850）是英國重要的浪漫主義詩人。他和塞繆爾·泰勒·柯勒律治在1798年共同出版《抒情歌謠集》，將英國文學帶入了浪漫主義時代。從1843年直到1850年去世，華茲華斯一直是英國的“桂冠詩人”。直到現在，他的作品仍然廣為流傳，他的影響尤為深遠持久。他的許多詩歌至今仍屬英語文學中最受歡迎、最得批評家肯定的作品。

雙語詩歌：溫總理詩作“仰望星空

我仰望星空，

它是那樣寥廓而深邃；

那無窮的真理，

讓我苦苦地求索、追隨。

I look up at the starry sky

Which is so deep and vast.

The never-ending truth

Makes me struggle to follow and quest it.

我仰望星空，

它是那樣莊嚴而圣潔；

那凜然的正義，

讓我充滿熱愛、感到敬畏。

I look up at the starry sky

Which is so solemn, holy and pure.

The severe and awe-inspiring justice

Makes me filled with deep love and in awe of it.

我仰望星空，

它是那樣自由而寧靜；

那博大的胸懷，

讓我的心靈棲息、依偎。

I look up at the starry sky

Which is so free and serene.

The broad bosom

Provides the place where my soul rests and nestles to.

我仰望星空，

它是那樣壯麗而光輝；

那永恒的熾熱，

讓我心中燃起希望的烈焰、響起春雷。

I look up at the starry sky

Which is so marvelous and glorious.

The eternal blaze

Kindles the flame of hope in my heart, which resounds with spring thunder.

《面朝大海，春暖花開》（網絡譯文）

從明天起 ， 做一個幸福的人
喂馬， 劈柴，周游世界
從明天起，關心糧食和蔬菜
我有一所房子，面朝大海，春暖花開
從明天起，和每一個親人通信
告訴他們我的幸福
那幸福的閃電告訴我的
我將告訴每一個人
給每一條河每一座山取一個溫暖的名字
陌生人，我也為你祝福
愿你有一個燦爛的前程
愿你有情人終成眷屬
愿你在塵世獲得幸福
我只愿面朝大海，春暖花開

From tomorrow on, I will be a happy man;
Grooming, chopping, and traveling all over the world.
From tomorrow on, I will care foodstuff and vegetable,
Living in a house towards the sea, with spring blossoms.
From tomorrow on, write to each of my dear ones,
Telling them of my happiness,
What the lightening of happiness has told me,
I will spread it to each of them.
Give a warm name for every river and every mountain,
Strangers, I will also wish you happy.
May you have a brilliant future!
May you lovers eventually become spouse!
May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!
I only wish to face the sea, with spring flowers blossoming

Toady,i choose 今天我選擇

It"s quiet. It"s early.

萬籟寂靜，一切還早。

The sky is still black. The world is still asleep.天空仍漆黑一片，整個世界還在沉睡。

In a few moments the day will arrive. It will roar down the track with the rising of the sun.

再過幾分鐘，白晝即將來臨。它將與初升的太陽一起帶我們進入新的一天。

The stillness of the dawn will be exchanged for the noise of the day.

黎明的寂靜將會被喧鬧的白晝取代。

The calm of solitude will be replaced by the pounding pace of the human race.

而獨處的寧靜也會被人們急促的步伐而代替。

The refuge of the early morning will be invaded by decisions to be made and deadlines to be met.

清晨的避難所也因一切要做的決定和一切要完成的任務而受到干擾。

For the next twelve hours I will be exposed to the day"s demands.在未來的12個小時里，我將會有所作為。

It is now that I must make a choice. I"m free to choose, and so I choose...就是現在，我必須作出抉擇。我可以自由抉擇，因此我選擇......

I choose love ..No occasion justifies hatred;No injustice warrants bitterness.

我選擇愛......我們沒有理由去仇恨；也沒有理由去從惡。

Ichoose joy ...I will refuse the temptation to be cynical... the tool of the lazy thinker.

我選擇歡樂......我要拒絕憤世嫉俗的生活態度，這其實是一種懶人哲學。

Instead of clenching my fist at new assignments,I will face them with joy and courage.

不是緊握拳頭痛苦地對待新的挑戰，而是用歡樂和勇氣應付困難。

I choose gentleness ..Nothing is won by force.

我選擇溫和......武力并不能帶來最終的勝利。

I choose to be gentle.我選擇溫和的作風。

The Road Not Taken 未選擇的路

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood

黃色的樹林里分出兩條路

And sorry I could not travel both

可惜我不能同時去涉足

　　

And be one traveler, long I stood

我在那路口久久佇立

　　

And looked down one as far as I could

我向著一條路極目望去

　　

To where it bent in the undergrowth

直到它消失在叢林深處

　　

Then took the other, as just as fair

但我卻選了另外一條路

　　

And having perhaps the better claim

它荒草萋萋，十分幽寂

　　

Because it was grassy and wanted wear

顯得更誘人，更美麗

　　

Though as for that the passing there

雖然在這條小路上

　　

Had worn them really about the same

很少留下旅人的足跡

　　

And both that morning equally lay

那天清晨落葉滿地

　　

In leaves no step had trodden black

兩條路都未經腳印污染

　　

Oh, I kept the first for another day

啊，留下一條路等改日再見

　　

Yet knowing how way leads on to way

但我知道路徑延綿無盡頭

　　

I doubted if I should ever come back

恐怕我難以再回返

　　

I shall be telling this with a sigh

也許多少年后在某個地方

　　

Somewhere ages and ages hence

我將輕聲嘆息將往事回顧

　　

Two roads diverged in a wood

一片樹林里分出兩條路

　　

and I—I took the one less traveled by

而我選擇了人跡更少的一條

　　

And that has made all the difference.

從此決定了我一生的道路

青春Youth

席慕容Xi Murong

所有的結局都已寫好

Has been worked out the ending

所有的淚水也都已啟程

All tears have set out on their journey

卻忽然忘了是怎樣的一個開始

But suddenly I forgot how it began

在那個古老的不再回來的夏日

On that ancient summer day which will never come back

無論我如何地去追索

No matter what a hard searching I try

年輕的你只如云影掠過

The youthful you like a shadowy cloud just passed by

而你微笑的面容極淺極淡

and your smiles extremely faint and pale

逐漸隱沒在日落后的群嵐

Gradually disappeared behind sunset ranges of dale

遂翻開那發黃的扉頁

Then I turn to the yellowed fly

命運將它裝訂得極為拙劣

Fate bound it fairly clumsy

含著淚 我一讀再讀

I read again and again, tears in my eye

卻不得不承認

But I have to admit

青春是一本太倉促的書

That youth is a book written in a hurry

Youth 青春

Youth is not a time of life; it is a state of mind.

青春不是年華，而是心境；

It is not a matter of rosy cheeks, red lips and supple knees.

青春不是桃面、丹唇、柔膝，

It is a matter of the will, a quality of the imagination, vigor of the emotions;

而是深沉的意志、宏偉的想象、熾熱的感情；

It is the freshness of the deep spring of life.

青春是生命的深泉在涌流。

Youth means a temperamental predominance of courage over timidity,

青春氣貫長虹，勇銳蓋過怯弱，

of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.

進去壓倒茍安，如此銳氣，

This often exits in a man of 60, more than a boy of 20.

二十后生有之，六旬男子則更多見。

nobody grows merely by the number of years;we grow old by deserting our ideas.

年年有加，并非垂老；理想丟棄，方墮暮年。

Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.

歲月悠悠，衰微只及肌膚；熱忱拋卻，頹唐必至靈魂。

Worry, fear, self-distrust1 bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.

煩憂、惶恐、喪失自信，定使心靈扭曲，意氣如灰。

Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human being"s heart the lure of wonders,

無論年屆花甲，抑或二八芳齡，心中皆有生命之歡樂，奇跡之誘惑，

the unfailing childlike appetite of what"s next and the joy of the game of living.

孩童般天真久盛不衰。

In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station;

人人心中皆有一臺天線，

so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from infinite,

只要你從天上人間接受美好、希望、歡樂、勇氣和力量的信號，

so long as you are young.

你就青春永駐，風華常存。

When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with the snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism,

一旦天線倒塌，銳氣被冰雪覆蓋，玩世不恭、自暴自棄油然而生，

then you"ve grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up,

幾十年方二十，實已垂老矣；

to catch waves of optimism, there"s hope you may die young at 80.

然則只要豎起天線，捕捉樂觀的信號，你就有望在八十高齡告別塵寰時仍覺得年輕。

【賞析】

太平洋戰爭打得正酣之時，麥克阿瑟將軍常常從繁忙中抬起頭，注視著掛在墻上的鏡框，鏡框里是篇文章，名為《青春》。這篇文章一直伴隨著他，也跟著他到了日本。后來，日本人在東京的美軍總部發現了它，《青春》便開始在日本流傳。

一位資深的日本問題觀察家說，在日本實業界，只要有成就者，沒有哪一個不熟知不應用這篇美文的，就連松下電器的創始人松下幸之助幾十年來也把《青春》當作他的座右銘。

　 還有這么一件趣事，足以證明《青春》在日本的魅力。一天，美國影片銷售協會主席羅森菲爾德參加日本實業界的聚會，晚宴之前的談話，他隨意說了一句：“《青春》的作者，便是我的祖父。”在座的各位實業界領袖大為驚訝，其中有一位一邊激動地說“我一直隨身帶著它呢”，一邊從口袋里掏出了《青春》。

She Walks in Beauty

　　 —— Byron

She walks in beauty, like the night

Of cloudless climes and starry skies;

And all that"s best of dark and bright

Meet in her aspect and her eyes:

Thus mellow"d to that tender light

Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

One shade the more, one ray the less,

Had half impair"d the nameless grace

Which waves in every raven tress,

Or softly lightens o"er her face;

Where thoughts serenely sweet express

How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.

And on that cheek, and o"er that brow,

So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,

The smiles that win, the tints that glow,

But tell of days in goodness spent,

A mind at peace with all below,

A heart whose love is innocent!

她走在美的光彩中

——拜倫

她走在美的光彩中，象夜晚

皎潔無云而且繁星漫天；

明與暗的最美妙的色澤

在她的儀容和秋波里呈現：

耀目的白天只嫌光太強，

它比那光亮柔和而幽暗。

增加或減少一份明與暗

就會損害這難言的美。

美波動在她烏黑的發上，

或者散布淡淡的光輝

在那臉龐，恬靜的思緒

指明它的來處純潔而珍貴。

呵，那額際，那鮮艷的面頰，

如此溫和，平靜，而又脈脈含情，

那迷人的微笑，那容顏的光彩，

都在說明一個善良的生命：

她的頭腦安于世間的一切，

她的心充溢著真純的愛情！

Very quietly I take my leave

As quietly as I came here;

Quietly I wave good-bye

輕輕的我走了，

正如我輕輕的來；

我輕輕的招手，

The golden willows by the riverside

Their reflections on the shimmering waves

Always linger in the depth of my heart.

Sways leisurely under the water;

In the gentle waves of Cambridge

I would be a water plant!

That pool under the shade of elm trees

Holds not water but the rainbow from the sky;

Shattered to pieces among the duckweeds

Is the sediment of a rainbow-like dream?

不是清泉,是天上虹,

揉碎在浮藻間，

沉淀著彩虹似的夢。

To seek a dream? Just to pole a boat upstream

To where the green grass is more verdant;

Or to have the boat fully loaded with starlight

And sing aloud in the splendour of starlight.

尋夢？撐一支長蒿，

向青草更青處漫溯，

滿載一船星輝，

在星輝斑斕里放歌。

But I cannot sing aloud

Quietness is my farewell music;

Even summer insects heep silence for me

Silent is Cambridge tonight!

但我不能放歌，

悄悄是別離的笙簫；

夏蟲也為我沉默，

沉默是今晚的康橋！

Very quietly I take my leave

As quietly as I came here;

Gently I flick my sleeves

Not even a wisp of cloud will I bring away .

悄悄的我走了，

正如我悄悄的來；

我揮一揮衣袖，

不帶走一片云彩。

Rosy: adj.薔薇色的, 玫瑰紅色的

Shimmering: adj.微微發亮的

Sludge: n.軟泥, 淤泥, 礦泥, 煤泥

Leisurely: adv.從容不迫

Duckweeds: n.[植] 浮萍

【賞析】

《再別康橋》原是現代詩人徐志摩膾炙人口的詩篇，是新月派詩歌的代表作品。全詩描述了一幅幅流動的畫面，構成了一處處美妙的意境，細致入微地將詩人對康橋的愛戀，對往昔生活的憧憬，對眼前的無可奈何的離愁表現得真摯、雋永。

The joy of the snowflake

雪花的快樂

Xu Zhimo

徐志摩

If I were a snowflake,

Dancing in the mid-air in elation,

I must know where I"m going--

Flying, flying, flying --

Somewhere on the ground is my direction.

假如我是一朵雪花，

翩翩的在半空里瀟灑，

我一定認清我的方向——

飛揚，飛揚，飛揚——

這地面上有我的方向。

I won"t go to the cold valleys,

Nor to the hills in desolation ,

Nor to the empty streets for melancholy --

Flying, flying, flying --

You see I have my direction!

不去那冷漠的幽谷，

不去那凄清的山麓，

也不上荒街去惆悵——

飛揚，飛揚，飛揚——

你看我有我的方向！

Flying in the mid-air in elegance,

I recognize that quiet residence,

Waiting in the garden for her visiting --

Flying, flying, flying --

Ah, the plum aroma from her body is emitting!

在半空里娟娟的飛舞，

認明了那清幽的住處，

等著她來花園里探望——

飛揚，飛揚，飛揚——

啊，她身上有朱砂梅的清香！

Then by my light-weight,

I land on her lappet gently,

Close to her soft breast --

Melting, melting, melting --

Melting into the soft wave of her mind!

那時憑借我的身輕，

盈盈的，沾住了她的衣襟，

貼近她柔波似的心胸——

消溶，消溶，消溶——

溶入她柔波似的心胸！

【賞析】

《雪花的快樂》是一首純詩。在這里，現實的“我”被徹底抽空，雪花代替“我”出場，那雪花在半空中“翩翩”的“瀟灑”，“娟娟的飛舞”，直奔向“清幽的住處”，會見“花園”里的“她”，直到溶入“她柔波似的心胸”。詩人以“雪花”自比，運用了借代的手法，以那瀟灑飛揚的雪花為意象，“她”是詩人想象中的情人，更是升華了的神圣的愛情，巧妙地傳達了詩人執著追求愛情和美好理想的心聲。但這是被詩人意念填充的雪花，被靈魂穿著的雪花。這是靈性的雪花，他是人的精靈，他要為美而死。值得回味的是，他在追求美的過程絲毫不感痛苦、絕望，恰恰相反，他充分享受著選擇的自由、熱愛的快樂。雪花“飛揚，飛揚，飛揚”，這是十分堅定、歡快和輕松自由的執著，是詩人自明和自覺的結果。實際上，詩人是穿越現實去獲取內心的清白、堅守理想的高貴。而這個美的她，住在清幽之地，出入雪中花園，渾身散發朱砂梅的清香，心胸恰似萬縷柔波的湖泊。她是現代美學時期永恒的幻像。

At The Seaside 海邊

(1)

When I was down beside the sea

A wooden spade they gave to me

To dig the sandy shore.

當我到海邊時

他們給了我一把木鏟

好去挖掘沙灘。

(2)

The holes were empty like a cup

In every hole the sea camp up,

Till it could come no more.

挖成像杯狀般的空洞

讓每個洞中的海水涌現

直到它不能再涌現。

O Sailor, Come Ashore

(Part I)

O sailor, come ashore

What have you brought for me?

Red coral , white coral,

Coral from the sea.

啊！水手，上岸吧

你給我帶來什么？

海里的珊瑚，

紅的，白的。

(Part II)

I did not dig it from the ground

Nor pluck it from a tree;

Feeble insects made it

In the stormy sea.

它不是我從地下挖的，

也不是從樹上摘的；

它是暴風雨的海裹

弱小昆蟲做成的。

A Dinosaur for Christmas

A dinosaur for Christmas

is the only thing I need.

It doesn"t matter if it"s slow

or one that"s built for speed.

A massive one, a tiny one

or one that"s in between.

A dinosaur that"s muddy brown

or bright and shiny green.

I don"t care if it"s big and tall

or really old and ugly.

I don"t care if it"s rough and tough

or soft and cute and snuggly.

A spiny one will do the trick.

A scaly one is fine.

As long as it"s a living, breathing dinosaur,

and mine.

I promise if you bring me one

I"ll never ask for more,

That"s all I want for Christmas:

just one single dinosaur.

Christmas Dinner

Fruitcake.

Candied yams.

Mincemeat.

Roasted hams.

Eggnog.

Turkey legs.

Aspic.

Deviled eggs.

Gravy.

Dinner rolls.

Take some.

Pass the bowls.

Jell-o.

Christmas punch.

Cookies.

Munch, munch, munch.

Whoops, I"m

overfed!

After

such a load,

feel like

I"ll explode.

Guess I"m

gonna die,

so please

pass the pie.

Dear Santa, Here"s My Christmas List

Dear Santa, here"s my Christmas list.

I hope you"ll bring it all.

I"ve only asked for gifts my parents

can"t find at the mall.

I"d like to have a UFO,

with aliens inside,

and maybe a Tyrannosaurus Rex

that I could ride.

A ninety-nine foot robot

is a present I could use.

I"ll also need a time machine,

and rocket-powered shoes.

Please bring a gentle genie

who will grant my every wish,

and don"t forget a wizard"s wand,

and, yes, a talking fish.

Of course, I"ll need a unicorn,

and won"t you please provide

a dragon, and a castle

in the English countryside.

Of course, the weight of all these things

might cause your sleigh to crash.

If that"s the case, dear Santa,

please feel free to just bring cash.

I Will Not Sit on Santa"s Lap

I will not sit on Santa"s lap.

You cannot make me sit on it,

and if you try I promise that

I"ll throw a screaming fit on it.

I will not talk to Santa;

I am simply too afraid of him.

I"m not impressed by all the songs

and movies that are made of him.

It really doesn"t matter that

he"s generous and jolly too.

It doesn"t matter if his chair

is decked with boughs of holly too.

It makes no difference that he"s loved

from here to Ethiopia.

I cannot sit with Santa.

I"ve got Santa Claustrophobia.

Lefty the Lifter

Tonight I write of Lefty Wright,

a lifter slightly gifted,

who nightly lifted left and right

so deftly all he lifted.

Lefty lifted, on his left,

aloft a hefty crate.

Lefty lifted, on his right,

a slightly lighter weight.

So though Lefty lifted deftly,

shifting as he lifted,

Lefty, listing swiftly leftly,

drifted off a cliff did.

Rites were read for Lefty Wright

to Wrights he left bereft.

Despite his might, from quite a height,

yes, Lefty Wright has left.

I Played a Game

I played a game.

I rode my bike.

I had a snack.

I took a hike.

I read a book.

I watched T.V.

I built a fort.

I climbed a tree.

I surfed the web.

I played guitar.

I caught a bug

inside a jar.

I called my friends.

I dug a hole.

I kicked a ball.

I scored a goal.

I had a swim.

I learned to skate.

I played with toys.

I stayed up late.

It"s fair to say

I do like school,

but even more, though,

weekends rule!

Fernando the Fearless

We"re truly in awe of

Fernando the Fearless

who needed no net

for the flying trapeze.

Alas, what a shame

it"s surpisingly difficult

catching a bar

in the midst of a sneeze.

Ode on a Unicycle

Unicycle, unicycle,

radiant and round.

Spying you, you spoke to me

without a single sound.

Unicycle, unicycle,

beautiful and kind,

like the petals on a flower

wheeling through my mind.

Unicycle, unicycle,

you"re my one desire.

Losing you would break my heart.

Of you I"ll never tire.

Unicycle, unicycle

always by my side.

That"s, of course, because you are

impossible to ride.

My Penguin

My penguin looks quite dashing

in his tophat, coat and tails,

with a cummerbund from Macy"s

and a tie from Bloomingdales.

My penguin likes to party

in his dapper black tuxedo,

but whenever he goes swimming

he wears nothing but his Speedo.

I Love Me

I took myself out on a date

and said I"m looking grand,

and when I got my courage up

I asked to hold my hand.

I took me to a restaurant

and then a movie show.

I put my arm around me

in the most secluded row.

I whispered sweetly in my ear

of happiness and bliss,

and then I almost slapped me

when I tried to steal a kiss.

Then afterwards I walked me home

and since I"m so polite

I thanked me for a perfect date

and wished myself goodnight.

There"s just one little problem

and it kind of hurts my pride.

Myself would not invite me in

so now I"m locked outside!

Homework for Christmas

The teacher gave homework for Christmas.

We thought it must be a mistake.

She smiled when she said this assignment

would take up our whole winter break.

Before we return from vacation

we have to make sure it gets done.

It seems that our teacher must like us.

Our homework assignment? Have fun!

Santa"s Beard

He wasn"t too good with a razor

and every time he would try

Kris Kringle would cut himself shaving,

so badly it caused him to cry.

The townspeople laughed when they saw him

with cut marks all over his face.

He felt so embarrassed and foolish

he"d lower his head in disgrace.

So one day he threw out his razor,

and all of the townspeople cheered!

No longer would Santa be shaving.

Instead he was growing a beard!

But though he has given up shaving

and grown out a beard white and thick,

most folks still remember those cut marks

and that"s why they call him "Saint Nick."

Dear Santa, Here"s My Christmas List

Dear Santa, here"s my Christmas list.

I hope you"ll bring it all.

Foolish Fiona

This morning when foolish Fiona awoke

she looked at her mother, and said with a croak,

"I can"t go to school, so please write me a note

to tell them I"m home with a frog in my throat."

Her mom wrote a note for the teacher that said

"My daughter is sick and she"s staying in bed.

She won"t be at school for the rest of the week.

She swallowed a polliwog down at the creek

Traditional Christmas

We have a traditional family,

so Christmas is always the same;

we hang up spaghetti and doughnuts

and break out the Slip-N-Slide game.

We stand in the tub in our costumes

of pickles and papier-mache.

We sing "Old MacDonald" til noontime

then practice our indoor croquet.

We gather in front of the toaster

to bask in its radiant glow

while dining on frozen carnations

and filling our pockets with snow.

The highlight is juggling toothpicks

till Grandma gets poked in the eye.

While waiting to hear from the doctor,

we bake a banana cream pie.

Then lastly we put on our helmets

and posture in silly positions.

It"s fun to be part of a family

with so many Christmas traditions.

Imaginary Friend

I came to school today

with my imaginary friend.

When everyone said "hi" to him,

I said, "He"s just pretend."

But no one seemed to notice,

which I thought was pretty weird.

It turns out he"d imagined me,

and, poof, I disappeared.

My Tutor"s a Flutist

My tutor"s a flutist

who toots on a flute

while he tutors computers.

He thinks that it"s cute.

I think he should stick with

computers, not flutes.

It"s cool when he tutors

but rude when he toots.

All My Great Excuses

I started on my homework

but my pen ran out of ink.

My hamster ate my homework.

My computer"s on the blink.

I accidentally dropped it

in the soup my mom was cooking.

My brother flushed it down the toilet

when I wasn"t looking.

My mother ran my homework

through the washer and the dryer.

An airplane crashed into our house.

My homework caught on fire.

Tornadoes blew my notes away.

Volcanoes struck our town.

My notes were taken hostage

by an evil killer clown.

Some aliens abducted me.

I had a shark attack.

A pirate swiped my homework

and refused to give it back.

I worked on these excuses

so darned long my teacher said,

"I think you"ll find it"s easier

to do the work instead."

Morning Sports

While Colin and Casey are practicing catch,

Victoria"s calling a volleyball match.

Brianna and Braden are batting a ball

with racquets and whacking it off of the wall.

While Thomas is doing his Tae-Kwon-Do kicks,

a hockey game"s going with ice skates and sticks.

Roberto and Robin are having a race

and Desmond is dancing all over the place.

Belinda is bouncing a ball on her head.

Fernando and Felix are fencing with Fred.

Jamahl"s playing jump rope with Jasmine and Jack,

and Ricky is running with Bree on his back.

We"re having such fun as we jump, kick, and duel,

we"ve just now discovered we"re all late for school.

We"ve suddenly noticed we"re still not there yet,

and, boy, is the bus driver ever upset.

Bed Head

I can"t do a thing with my hair-do.

I"ve tried but it"s simply no use.

I can"t make it stay where I put it today

with styling gel, hair spray, or mousse.

No bobby pin, brush, or bandanna,

can get my hair under control.

I"ve tried every comb, every clip in my home,

and covered my head with a bowl.

I"ve tried using forks in frustration.

I"ve tried using pokers and picks.

I"ve tried using straps; I"ve tried headbands and caps.

I"ve even tried shoestrings and sticks.

Regardless of how I attack it,

I simply cannot make it stay.

I guess I can"t win, so I"ll have to give in

and look like my students today.

This Morning is Our History Test

This morning is our history test.

I"ve pinned my notes inside my vest.

Inside my coat I wrote my notes,

including dates and famous quotes.

I"ve written more upon my hand

that only I can understand,

and in my socks and sleeves I stowed

my scribbled notes in secret code.

I"ve written down so many names

of winners of Olympic games,

of buildings, people, places too,

from Tennessee to Timbuktu.

I even copied down a piece

on ancient Rome and ancient Greece,

plus everything from Shakespeare"s plays

to who invented mayonnaise.

I came to school so well prepared.

I wasn"t nervous, wasn"t scared.

But here it is, the history test.

I look inside my coat and vest

to get the dates and famous quotes

and find I cannot read my notes.

So much for Shakespeare, Greece and Rome.

I left my glasses back at home.

Welcome Back to School

"Dear students, the summer has ended.

The school year at last has begun.

But this year is totally different.

We"re going to only have fun.

"We won"t study any mathematics,

and recess will last all day long.

Instead of the pledge of allegiance,

we"ll belt out a rock-and-roll song.

"We"ll only play games in the classroom.

You"re welcome to bring in your toys.

It"s okay to run in the hallways.

It"s great if you make lots of noise.

"Your video games are your homework.

You"ll have to watch lots of T.V.

For field trips we"ll go to the movies

and give away candy for free.

"The lunchroom will only serve chocolate

and triple fudge sundaes supreme."

Yes, that"s what I heard from my teacher

before I woke up from my dream

Peter Passed a Note Today

Peter passed a note today.

He gave the note to Anna.

She opened it and read it,

then she passed it on to Hannah.

The note made Hannah giggle

so she handed it to Cody,

who read it with a smile before

he slid the note to Brody.

Then Brody read the contents

and he gave it to Luann,

who opened it and chuckled

and directed it to Dan.

He read it with a snicker,

then he tossed the note to Jon

who couldn"t help but chortle

as he passed it on to Sean.

The teacher heard us laughing

and she saw what Sean was holding.

She walked across the room

and took the note he was unfolding.

We thought we"d get in trouble,

but she gave it back to Sean

and smiled because it read,

"The teacher"s awesome. Pass it on."

My Dog Ate My Homework

My dog ate my homework.

That mischievous pup

got hold of my homework

and gobbled it up.

My dog ate my homework.

It"s gonna be late.

I guess that the teacher

will just have to wait.

My dog ate my homework.

He swallowed it whole.

I shouldn"t have mixed it

with food in his bowl

My Book Report is Due Today

My book report is due today.

I haven"t finished yet.

In fact, I haven"t started,

which I"m coming to regret.

I haven"t even read the book.

I put it off so long.

I thought I"d have a lot of time.

It looks like I was wrong.

I"d ask my older brother

what this book is all about,

but he"s already left for school

and cannot help me out.

I"d hustle to the movie store

and rent the DVD,

but I don"t even have the time

to watch it on TV.

I guess I"ll have to fake it

and pretend I read the book.

Then write a bunch of nonsense

and assorted gobbledygook.

It"s either that, or do the thing

my conscience knows is right:

I"ll claim I"m sick and stay at home

and finish it tonight.

When Sarah Surfs the Internet

When Sarah surfs the Internet

she starts by checking mail.

She answers all her messages

from friends in great detail.

She plays a game, or maybe two,

and watches a cartoon,

then chats with kids in places

like Rwanda and Rangoon.

She reads about her favorite bands.

She buys an MP3.

She downloads movie trailers

and she looks for stuff for free.

She reads about celebrities

and dreams of wealth and fame,

then watches music videos

and plays another game.

If you should say, "Your time is up.

I need to use the Net,"

she always whines, "I haven"t got

my homework finished yet!"

Penny Parker"s Pencil

Penny Parker"s pencil

is a wonder to behold.

It"s glorious and radiant.

It"s shimmering and gold.

We"re not sure where she got it.

It may be the only one.

It glitters like a crystal.

and it sparkles like the sun.

It"s lined with glowing LEDs

of purple, blue and pink,

and every time she doodles

all the lights begin to blink.

It"s multicolored patterns

are exquisite and extreme,

eliciting such "ooh"s" and "aah"s"

like something from a dream.

Yes, Penny Parker"s pencil

is an undisputed "10."

But, even more incredible,

you ought to see her pen!

Class Gas

The teacher passed out and fell right off her chair.

My classmates are crying and gasping for air.

The hamster is howling and hiding his head.

The plants by the window are practically dead.

There"s gas in the class; it"s completely my fault,

and smells like a chemical weapons assault.

So try to remember this lesson from me:

Don"t take off your shoes in class after P.E.

My Teacher Calls Me Sweetie Cakes

My teacher calls me sweetie cakes.

My classmates think it"s funny

to hear her call me angel face

or pookie bear or honey.

She calls me precious baby doll.

She calls me pumpkin pie

or doodle bug or honey bunch

or darling butterfly.

My class is so embarassing

I need to find another;

just any class at all

in which the teacher"s not my mother.

Basketball"s My Favorite Sport

Basketball"s my favorite sport.

I dribble up and down the court.

The ball goes bouncing off my toes

and beans the teacher on the nose.

He stumbles back and grabs his nose

and hits the wall and down he goes.

The other players stop and stare.

They"ve never heard the teacher swear.

With no one playing anymore.

I grab the ball. I shoot. I score.

I love this game! It"s so much fun.

The teacher cried, but, hey--we won.

I Don"t Know What to Do Today

I don"t know what to do today.

Perhaps I"ll go outside and play,

or stay indoors and watch TV,

or take a bath, or climb a tree.

Or maybe I"ll go ride my bike,

or pick my nose, or take a hike,

or jump a rope, or scratch my head,

or play a game, or stay in bed,

or dance a jig, or pet the cat,

or drink some milk, or buy a hat,

or sing a song, or read a book,

or change my socks, or learn to cook,

or dig a hole, or eat a pear,

or call my friends, or brush my hair,

or hold my breath, or have a race,

or stand around and slap my face.

I"m so confused, and bored, and blue,

to not know what I ought to do.

I guess that I should just ask you.

So, what do you think I should do?

You Can Argue with a Tennis Ball

You can argue with a tennis ball

or argue with your hat.

You can argue with bananas

or a broken baseball bat.

You can argue with your locker.

You can argue with your shoe.

You can argue all day long

until your face is turning blue.

You can argue with a pickle.

You can argue with a bee.

It"s a fact that you can argue

with most anything you see.

You can argue with the football field

or argue with the bleachers.

But I"ve found it isn"t very smart

to argue with the teachers.

I"ve Been Surfing Lots of Websites

I"ve been surfing lots of websites

all the live-long day.

Now I"m getting all these pop-ups

and they will not go away.

My computer has a virus.

It"s been overrun with spyware.

Every time I check my email

all I see is spam.

Pop-ups left and right.

Spam all day and night.

Trojan horses on my hard drive too.

Viruses and worms.

Cybernetic germs.

Don"t know what I"m gonna do.

Hackers got my password in China.

Spammers got my address in Idaho, oh.

Now I"m getting spyware from China,

viruses from Mexico.

I"m freaking...

See my DVD drive groan.

See my memory go slow, slow, slow, slow.

See my monitor top smoke.

My computer"s gonna blow.

詩歌是一種精美的藝術，趣味高一點的人一般都喜歡詩歌。受過良好教育的中國人都會背誦若干首古詩。現在人們很重視學習英文，學習英文，視野也應寬闊一些，也應當對英文詩歌多少有些領略才好。中國文學中詩歌成就極大，英語文學中，詩歌也極其豐富多彩。語言藝術的最高表現形式在詩歌。如果只是知道實用性的英文，只學習商業英文、法律英文等英文，對英語文學毫無修養，對英文詩歌一無所知，那將是一個不小的遺憾，將會影響到審美能力的發展和提高， 學英文而不懂英文詩歌，不僅從審美角度看是一個遺憾，而且從英語學習這一角度看，不學一些英文詩歌，其英語水平也達不到很高的層次。詩歌語言最精煉，語匯最豐富，表達形式最精美，語言的色調最細膩。如果對詩歌有一定修養，其語言表達能力會大大提高。

所以詩歌的賞析是非常重要的，下面以一首詩歌為例進行賞析。

A SELECTION OF ENGLISH POETRY
FOR AN OPTIONAL COURSE OF THE UNDERGRADUADTES

William Shakespeare（1564—1616）

Shall 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:

Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor 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.

譯文：

能不能讓我把你比擬作夏日？
你可是更加溫和，更加可愛：
狂風會吹落五月的好花兒，
夏季的生命又未免結束得太快：
有時候蒼天的巨眼照得太灼熱，
他那金彩的臉色也會被遮暗；
每一樣美呀，總會離開美而凋落，
被時機或者自然的代謝所摧殘；
但是你永久的夏天決不會凋枯，
你永遠不會失去你美的儀態；
死神夸不著你在他影子里躑躅，
你將在不朽的詩中與時間同在；
只要人類在呼吸，眼睛看得見，
我這詩就活著，使你的生命綿延。

作者簡介：
劇作家、詩人。一生創作三十七部戲劇，154首十四行詩。其十四行詩大部分是獻給一位貴族青年，有二十余篇則是獻給一位“黑膚女士”（the dark lady）.

注釋:
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,/By chance, or nature’s changing course.個美人總要失去美貌，即使沒有突發的以外事件，也逃不過自然界生老病死的變遷。“Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade”：“死神無從夸口，說你在他的陰影里徘徊”。 To time thou grow’st: you grow as long as time lasts. 與時間同壽。

. 內容解析：
此詩的發展變化：以人比夏天開始，以人勝自然終結。前四行說明人比夏天更美更溫和；中四行發展了這個意思，引到駐顏無術的感慨；第三組則新意突起，推翻前言，終于于勝利的末兩行作結。此詩表達了這樣一種思想：美麗的事物可以依靠文學的力量而永遠不朽；文學是人所創造的，因此這有宣告了人的不朽。因此此詩不是一般的愛情詩。

形式解析：
sonnet：十四行詩，即“商籟體”詩。此詩體起源不明，最早的例子出現于13世紀，16世紀在英國出現。主要有意大利式和英國式兩種變體。意大利詩人Petrarch [/petra:k]用此詩體最精熟，故意大利式又稱Petrarchan sonnet。英國式由莎士比亞創立，又稱 Shakespearean sonnet.
意大利式分前八行、后六行。韻尾是abba, abba; cde, dcd.。莎士比亞式十四行詩，層次上分前四行，中四行，后四行和結尾兩行。韻尾為：abab, cdcd, efef, gg。格律是抑揚格五音步。

讀英文詩歌相當不容易。其中的主要原因是詩歌有其獨特的語言特點和表達方式，與散文有明顯區別。為更好地欣賞英文詩歌，很有必要了解一些相關的基本知識。

所以在欣賞英語詩歌前有必要了解詩歌的相關知識，這門選課讓我了解到原來一無所知的內容，如：詩歌的節奏、音部類型、詩行、押韻等等。相信在以后的英語學習中會有非常大的幫助的。

英語詩歌(7)

小學英語歌謠

◆ 歌曲《If your"re happy》中文名字叫《如果感到幸福你就拍拍手》
If your"re happy and you know it, clap your hands（唱完這一句拍兩下手）
If your"re happy and you know it, clap your hands
If your"re happy and you know it,???????? （雙手在胸前交叉擺動）
And your face will surely show it?? （伸出兩個食指從嘴巴往上劃，做微笑狀）
If your"re happy and you know it, clap your hands
將clap your hands改成stomp your feet（跺腳）成一段，改成shout “hurray”（雙手舉起來做歡呼狀），再改成do all three（把拍手、跺腳、歡呼連起來做一遍）。這首歌曲對節奏感要求比較強，尤其要等到唱完clap your hands才能拍手，很好地訓練了孩子的音樂節奏感，以及眼睛和手的協調，更促進了孩子的社交互動力。唱這首歌的時候可以把全家人甚至周圍的人都發動起來，唱的人越多就越快樂！

◆歌曲《one little finger》
One little finger, one litter finger?? (依次伸出左右兩個食指)
One little finger, tap tap tap????????（同時伸出兩個食指，對敲三下）
Point to the ceiling, point to the floor （指天花板，指地板）
Put it on your head.????????????????（放在腦袋上）
最后一個head改成nose，mouth，ear等其它身體部位，甚至可以改成chair、table等等地方，呵呵，可以靈活運用哦。

◆洪恩節拍英語：歌曲《One little flower》
One little flower（伸出一個食指做“1”狀，然后兩個手腕并在一起放在下巴下面，做“花朵”狀）
One little bee（兩個手臂放在身體兩側，手掌快速扇動做蜜蜂飛）
One little blue bird, high in the tree.（兩只手臂大幅度地扇動做小鳥飛行狀，然后舉到空中）
One little brown deer, smiling at me.（手掌張開，拇指頂在太陽穴扮成小鹿的角，臉部做一個大大的微笑）
這是洪恩節拍英語里一個數字歌謠，洪恩節拍英語的特色就是把歌謠跟身體動作協調地結合起來，讓孩子在手舞足蹈中快樂地學習英語。

◆洪恩節拍英語：歌曲《Ten little fingers》
Ten little fingers??????????(伸出十個手指)
And ten little toes??????????（指指你的腳趾）
Two little arms, and one little nose（摸摸你的手臂，指指鼻子）
One little mouth, and two little ears（指指嘴巴，摸摸耳朵）
Two little eyes for smiles and tears.（指指眼睛，兩個食指從嘴角往上劃做微笑狀，往下劃做哭泣狀，表情也要搭配好哦。）
◆歌曲《Finger family》
Daddy finger, daddy finger, where are you?????????（把大拇指藏起來）
Here I am, here I am，how do you do?（露出大拇指，一邊彎曲它做鞠躬狀）????????
Daddy finger指的是大拇指，同樣Mommy finger、brother finger, sister finger, baby finger分別是指食指、中指、無名指和小指。在各個手指上畫上眼睛嘴巴，建議把每個手指的特點都畫出來，增加趣味性：比如daddy finger上畫一個特別的大大的鼻子，不用畫頭發。Mommy finger夸張地畫上紅嘴唇，長頭發；brother finger的脖子處就畫一個領結；sister finger頭上畫一個發結；至于baby finger，畫一個大笑的嘴巴好了。你的寶寶一定喜歡這個充滿趣味的游戲，而且很快，他就可以用how do you do來問候你了。

◆《The finger family》
Daddy finger, daddy finger??????(把拇指藏在拳頭中間)
Here I am, here I am.?????????? （伸出拇指）
How are you today???????????????（一只拇指向另一只彎腰鞠躬）
Very well I thank you.??????????（另一個拇指鞠躬還禮）
Run away , run way.???????????? （兩只拇指一起消失）

◆歌曲《clap your hands》
Clap clap clap your hands, as slowly as you can.
(一邊念一邊拍手，語速要慢)
Clap clap clap your hands as quickly as you can
（語速加快，拍手的速度也跟著加快）
這里的clap your hands 可以依次改成shake your hands（擺手）, roll your hands（拳頭握起來平放在胸前，前后交替移動）, wiggle your fingers（十個手指一張一合）, pound your fists（握起拳頭互相輕輕敲打）。

◆Hello hello hello，how are you？
I’m fine ,I’m fine ,I hope that you’re too.
在你的手掌心里用筆（當然最好用鮮艷的顏料）畫上嘴巴鼻子，嘴巴的形狀可以夸張一些，比如一張哈哈大笑的嘴巴。一邊唱這個歌，一邊搖晃著手掌跟寶寶打招呼，還可以讓彎曲你的手掌讓它鞠躬。要是孩子喜歡聽故事，聽完這首問候的歌以后，媽媽可以讓你的手掌臉講故事、背歌謠。

◆歌曲《Twinkle little star》
Twinkle twinkle little star,???? (兩個手的手指一張一合，示意星星在眨眼睛)
How I wonder what you are,????????（兩個食指放在太陽穴旁邊做思索狀）
Up above the world so high????????（雙手舉到空中隨著音樂節奏搖晃）
Like a diamond in the sky.????????（兩手的食指和大拇指分別伸出來放在一起，做成一個鉆石形狀）
Twinkle twinkle little star,How I wonder what you are.
這也是一首廣泛流傳的兒歌，節奏輕柔溫馨，讓人不由變得安靜和快樂。在唱整首歌的過程中，身子都可以跟著音樂節奏輕輕搖晃。
◆歌曲《Let everyone clap hands》
Let everyone clap hands like me，(拍兩下手)
Let everyone clap hands like me,（拍兩下手）
Come on and join into the game （雙手垂直身體平伸出去，手掌往里彎曲做come on狀）
You’ll find that it’s always the same.????????（雙手交叉放在胸前搖晃身子）
這里clap hands可改成laugh（嘿嘿笑）、cry（boo-hoo哭）、sneeze（a－choo發出打噴嚏的聲音）。這首歌跟《If you’re happy》有異曲同工之妙，也是訓練孩子的音樂節奏感，除了第一、二句的動作以外，其它的都可以省掉了。

◆The elephant goes like this, like that. （四肢著地，慢慢地像大象一樣走）
He"s terribly big,????????????????（站起來，把手舉高）
And he"s terribly fat.?????????? （雙臂向兩邊伸開）
He has no fingers,???????????????? (握拳，藏起手指)
He has no toes,???????????????? (搖動腳趾)
But goodness gracious,????????????（做一個吃驚的表情）
What a nose!???????????????? (指鼻子)
歌謠很形象地描述了大象的模樣和動作，通常孩子們都是喜歡模仿動物的動作。呵呵，要是你周圍的地方比較狹窄的話，就不用模仿大象走路啦。

◆《Five little ms》
Five little ms jumping on the bed（一只手的五個手指放在另一只手掌上）
One fell off and bumped his head??????????（收起一只手指，然后作抱頭狀）
Mama called the doctor and the doctor said: （手拿電話，在空中作撥號狀）
"No more little ms jumping on that bed." （表情嚴肅地搖動手指）
其中的five依次改成four、three、two、one。這也是一首節奏輕快的歌謠，既幽默又有趣，很好了鍛煉了孩子的幽默感。整首兒歌用調侃俏皮的語氣來念，念到最后一句的時候就故作嚴肅。

◆FLASH兒歌《Walking, Walking》（三只老虎曲調）
Walking, walking, walking, walking,
（把食指和中指放在另一只手背上，象走路一樣地一前一后移動兩個手指）
Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop, hop,
（兩個手指同時跳起來再落回到手背）
Running, running, running,
（快速地移動兩個手指，做跑狀）
Running, running, running,
Now, let"s stop,????????（停住不動）
Up and down.????????????（兩只手指指天空，再指指地面）
要是你們活動的地方稍大一點，可以不用手指來示意這些動作了。比如你和寶寶在房間里一邊唱一邊表演走路、蹦跳、奔跑、停止等動作，up的時候就把雙手高高舉到空中，down的時候蹲下來，雙手觸摸地面。

簡易英語兒歌帶動唱

London Bridge falling down"falling down"falling down.
（爸媽伸出雙手，搭出一座橋，把寶寶圍在中間，做出橋突然垮下來的樣子，重復3次）
London Bridge falling down"My fat lady!
（最后一次橋垮下來，一定要表情夸張，再雙手縮緊，父母和寶寶都抱在一起，必要時還可以搔寶寶的癢；若是較大的小孩，可以繞著爸媽跑，再學火車過山洞，鉆過小橋，并避免被垮下來的橋抓住，較大的孩子也會覺得很好玩。）

◆當我們同在一起

英語詩歌(8)

英語詩歌入門詩歌是純文學。英美文學傳統中此種文學形式十分繁榮，在這方面甚至可與被稱為“詩的國度”的中國相提并論。正如學習漢語不明詩詞歌賦為何物，就難入佳境一樣，學習英文而不解詩味，也堪稱憾事。然而，由于用詞典雅、句法精煉、形式別致以及意象豐富等等緣故，英文詩號稱難讀。本課程精選莎士比亞以來名家名詩數十首，解其句讀，析其格律，達其妙趣，并判其風格，使初學者嘗其一臠，略知滋味，并望其由此獲得進入英詩寶庫之門徑。


導引

詩歌是一種精美的藝術，趣味高一點的人一般都喜歡詩歌。受過良好教育的中國人都會背誦若干首古詩。現在人們很重視學習英文，學習英文，視野也應寬闊一些，也應當對英文詩歌多少有些領略才好。中國文學中詩歌成就極大，英語文學中，詩歌也極其豐富多彩。語言藝術的最高表現形式在詩歌。如果只是知道實用性的英文，只學習商業英文、法律英文等英文，對英語文學毫無修養，對英文詩歌一無所知，那將是一個不小的遺憾，將會影響到審美能力的發展和提高，
學英文而不懂英文詩歌，不僅從審美角度看是一個遺憾，而且從英語學習這一角度看，不學一些英文詩歌，其英語水平也達不到很高的層次。詩歌語言最精煉，語匯最豐富，表達形式最精美，語言的色調最細膩。如果對詩歌有一定修養，其語言表達能力會大大提高。試想一個學漢語的人，如果對唐詩宋詞一無所知，其漢語水平不會很高。學英語者也是如此。如果他對莎士比亞、彌爾頓、華茲華斯、拜倫、雪萊、濟慈等人的著名詩篇一竅不通，其英文水平也不會很高。
總之，有一定英語基礎的人不能不更上一層樓，讀一點英文詩。這不僅有助于提高我們的文學素養，豐富我們的審美能力，也有助于提高我們的英語水平。

英詩基礎知識

讀英文詩歌相當不容易。其中的主要原因是詩歌有其獨特的語言特點和表達方式，與散文有明顯區別。為更好地欣賞英文詩歌，很有必要了解一些相關的基本知識。這方面的知識極其細致，以下只介紹一些最基本的。

一 節奏
詩歌是具有音樂性的語言。音樂作品的最大特點之一是音符的流動是有節奏的。所謂節奏就是強拍和弱拍按一定的形式配合起來，有規律地反復出現。懂點音樂的人都知道，音樂中基本的節奏有兩種，即強——弱（2/4拍）和強——弱——弱（3/4拍）。舉兩個簡單的例子：
《東方紅》的節奏就是強——弱：

5 56│2 —│1 16│2 —│5 5│6i 65│1 16│2 —│

《新年好》（HAPPY NEW YEAR）這首兒歌的節奏是強——弱——弱：

11 1 5 │33 3 1│13 5 5 │43 2 —│23 4 4 │32 3 1│13 2 5│72 1 —│

中國古詩有節奏。其節奏主要是通過漢字特有的聲調表現出來的。傳統漢語中的聲調有四：平、上、去、入。平聲稱“平聲”，上、去、入三聲統稱仄聲。平聲與仄聲結合起來反復出現，就是中國詩歌的節奏。如一首五言絕句，其最常見的節奏是：
仄仄平平仄，平平仄仄平。
平平平仄仄，仄仄仄平平。
王之渙《等鸛雀樓》：白日依山盡，黃河入海流。欲窮千里目，更上一層樓。此詩即是這樣的節奏。其中“欲”字是仄聲，與格式不合。但根據格律要求，詩行中的第一字可平可仄。
英文詩歌也有節奏。英文沒有平聲、仄聲之分，但有重讀輕讀音節之分，其節奏是通過重讀音節與輕讀音節表現出來的。一個重讀音節與一個或兩個輕讀音節按一定的模式搭配起來，有規律地反復出現就是英文詩歌的節奏。
我們知道凡是有兩個以上音節的英文單詞，都有重讀音節與輕讀音節之分，在一句話中，根據語法、語調、語意的要求，有些詞也要重讀，有些要輕讀。如he went to town to buy a book.. I’m glad to hear the news. 英文中有重讀和輕讀之分，重讀的音節和輕讀的音節，按一定模式配合起來，反復再現，組成詩句，聽起來起伏跌宕，抑揚頓挫，就形成了詩歌的節奏。多音節單詞有重音和次重音，次重音根據節奏既可視為重讀，也可視為輕讀。讀下面這兩句詩：

Alone │she cuts │and binds│ the grain,
And sings │a me│lancho│ly strain.

這兩行詩的重讀與輕讀的固定搭配模式是：輕——重。在每行中再現四次，這樣就形成了這兩行詩的節奏。某種固定的輕重搭配叫“音步”（foot），相當與樂譜中的“小節”。一輕一重，就是這兩行詩的音步。一行詩中輕重搭配出現的次數叫音步數，這兩行詩的音步數都是四，所以就稱其為四音步詩。
二 常見的音步類型
音步是輕讀與重讀構成的。根據重讀與輕讀搭配的方式的不同，可以劃分出不同的音步類型。音步類型不同，節奏自然也不同。最常見的音步類型有以下四種：

（一） 抑揚格
如果一個音步中有兩個音節，前者為輕，后者為重，則這種音步叫抑揚格音步，其專業術語是（iamb, iambic.）。輕讀是“抑”，重讀是“揚”，一輕一重，故稱抑揚格。
英語中有大量的單詞，其發音都是一輕一重，如adore, excite, above, around, appear, besides, attack, supply, believe, return等，所以用英語寫詩，用抑揚格就很便利。也就是說，抑揚格很符合英語的發音規律。因此，在英文詩歌中用得最多的便是抑揚格，百分之九十的英文詩都是用抑揚格寫成的。前面的那兩句詩就是抑揚格詩。

（二）揚抑格
如果一個音步中有兩個音節，前者為重，后者為輕，則這種音步叫揚抑格音步，其專業術語是（trochee, trochaic.）。重讀是“揚”，輕讀是“抑”，一重一輕，故稱揚抑格。與抑揚格恰好相反。
英語中也有一批其讀音為一重一輕的單詞，如Happy, many, holy, yonder, headlong, flaming, upper, grandeur, failing等。寫揚抑格的詩，此類詞正好合適。但這類詞在英語中其數量不及前面的那些多，與英文的語言規律不十分吻合，所以揚抑格詩不多。舉兩句詩例：
Present │mirth has │present │laughter
Shakespeare
Shake your │chains to │earth like │dew
Shelley

（三） 抑抑揚格
抑抑揚格含三個音節，即輕——輕——重，專門術語是：Anapaest, anapaestic
例詞：
cavalier, intercede, disbelieve, reappear, disapprove, indistinct, on the hill.
例句：
拜倫的以下四行詩是抑抑揚格：
The Assyr│ian came down │like the wolf │on the fold,
And his coh│orts were glea│ming in purp│le and gold;
And the sheen│ of their spears │was like stars │on the sea,
When the blue │waves rolls night│ly on deep │Galilee.
——Destruction of Sennacherib
這是拜倫寫的描述古代亞述人圍攻耶路撒冷，被瘟疫所襲的詩的一節。第四行第二音步中的waves 一詞可輕可重。詩題中的Sennacherib 是亞述國王。fold 指羊群， purple and gold 描寫亞述軍隊的服飾，Galilee，巴勒斯坦北部的加利利湖。cohorts軍團， sheen，光芒。

（四） 揚抑抑格
重——輕——輕是揚抑抑格，專門術語是：dactyl, dactylic.
例詞：
happily, merciful, eloquent, messenger, merrily, properly, accident, quantity.
例句：
Dragging the │corn by her │golden hair.
Davies: the villain.
英文詩歌中的音步類型有十幾種之多，常見者即此四種，第一種則最常見。此外詩句中也常有抑抑格（pyrrhic[/peirik]和揚揚格(spondee[/sp :ndi])出現。

需要說明的是，這些音步類型只是理論上的分析，實際上，一首詩僅用一種音步類型寫，這種情況極少見，大多是以某一種為主，同時穿插其他類型。如果一首詩只含有一種音步，就會顯得非常單調機械。一首詩只要是以某種類型為主的，盡管有其他類型穿插其中，也稱此詩為某某格。如，以抑揚格為主要節奏寫成的，就稱此詩為抑揚格詩。現代興起的一些自由詩（FREE VERSE），不受這些格律的限制。
三 詩行

（一） 一詩行不一定是一個完整的句字。
英文詩每行的第一個字母都大寫，但是一詩行不一定是一個完整的句子，不一定能表達一個完整的意思。有時候，一行詩正好是一句，有時兩行甚至許多行才構成一個意思完整的句子。前者叫end-stopped line（結句行），后者叫run-on line.（跨行句）。這是英文詩與中國詩的最大區別之一。中國詩歌都是一行表達一個完整的意思。看下面一節詩：
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
前兩行是end-stopped line，后兩行是run-on line。讀跨行句詩，行末停頓較短。
跨行句在英文詩歌中極其普遍，有時十來行才成一完整句子。剛學英文詩的人，對此往往不習慣。對此我們需加注意。

（二） 詩行的長短以音步數目計算：
英文詩行的長度范圍一般是一音步——五音步。六、七、八音步的詩行也有，但不多。最多的是四音步、五音步的詩。
（各種長短詩行的專門術語：一音步詩：monometer 二音步詩：dimeter三音步詩：trimeter四音步詩：tetrameter 五音步詩：pentameter 六音步詩：hexameter 七音步詩：heptameter八音步詩：octameter.）
在分析一首詩的格律時，既要考律此詩的基本音步類型，也要考律此詩中詩行的音步數目。看下面的一首短詩：
An EMPTY HOUSE
Alexander Pope
You beat│your pate, │and fan│cy wit │will come:
Knock as│you please, │there’s no│body│at home.
（你拍拍腦袋，以為靈感馬上就來。可任你怎么敲打，也無人把門打開。pate，腦袋。 fancy，動詞：以為，想象。）
此詩的基本音步類型是抑揚格，每行五音步。因此稱此詩的格律是“抑揚格五音步”（iambic pentameter）。一首詩的音步類型和詩行所含的音步數目構成此詩的格律（meter）。

四 壓韻（rhyme）

英文詩一般都押運韻。

（一） 全韻與半韻（full rhyme and half rhyme）。
全韻是嚴格的押韻，其要求是：
（1） 韻要押在重讀音節上，其元音應相同；
（2） 元音前的輔音應不同；
（3） 如果元音之后有輔音，應相同。
（4） 重讀音節之后如有輕讀音節，也應相同。
下面幾對詞都符合全韻的標準：
why---sigh; hate---late; fight---delight; powers---flowers; today---away; ending---bending.
如果僅是元音字母相同，讀音不同，不符合全韻：如:
blood----hood; there---here; gone---alone; daughter----laughter.
這種情形被稱為“眼韻”（eye rhyme），雖然詩人有時用之，但不是真正的押韻。
僅是輔音相同或僅是元音相同的屬半韻：
元音不同，其前后的輔音相同，這叫諧輔韻（consonance）如：black, block; creak, croak; reader, rider; despise, dispose.
元音相同，其后的輔音相同者叫諧元韻（assonance），如lake, fate; time, mind.

（二） 尾韻與行內韻(end rhyme and internal rhyme)
押在詩行最后一個重讀音節上，叫尾韻。這是英文詩歌最常見的押韻部位。詩行中間停頓處的重讀音節與該行最后一個重讀音節押韻者，叫行內韻。如：
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing, then maids dance in a ring,

（三） 男韻與女韻((masculine rhyme and feminine rhyme)
所押的韻音局限于詩行中重讀的末尾音節上，稱男韻，也叫單韻，聽起來強勁有力。如：late, fate; hill, fill; enjoy, destroy.
押韻押在兩個音節上，后一音節非重讀音節，稱女韻，也叫雙韻，聽起來或輕快，或幽婉。如：lighting, fighting; motion, ocean; wining, beginning.
看下面一節詩：
I am coming, little maiden,
With the pleasant sunshine laden;
With the honey for the bee,
With the blossom for the tree.

前兩行押女韻，后兩行押男韻。
也有不少英文詩是不押韻的，不押韻的詩稱無韻詩或白體詩（blank verse）。多用在戲劇和敘事詩中。莎士比亞的戲劇和彌爾頓的Paradise Lost 都是用blank verse寫成的。 押韻的詩叫rhymed verse。無韻詩不同與自由詩。無韻詩雖不押韻，但是有固定節奏，以揚抑格五音步最常見。自由詩節奏不固定，如同白話。

A SELECTION OF ENGLISH POETRY
FOR AN OPTIONAL COURSE OF THE UNDERGRADUADTES

William Shakespeare（1564—1616）
作者簡介：
劇作家、詩人。一生創作三十七部戲劇，154首十四行詩。其十四行詩大部分是獻給一位貴族青年，有二十余篇則是獻給一位“黑膚女士”（the dark lady）.

1 Sonnet 18

Shall 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:

Sometimes too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed;
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d;

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;
Nor 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.

注釋:
Compare to 把什么比做什么。
Thou, thee 第二人稱單數代詞，前者主格，后者賓格。現已為you 所取代。其所有格是thy，或thine, 即現代英語的your。
Art = are. 16、17世紀時與thou連用。
Temperate: 來自拉丁文temperātus，讀時為符合押韻規則，可將重音放后。
Shake：shake off。
Lease 租借期限，此處指夏天的長度。
Hath 與第三人稱單數連用，相當于現代英語的has。
Dimmed: clouded.
Fair form fair: beautiful thing from beauty. 前后fair意義不同。Declines from beauty。
Chance：極緣，時運，命運。
And every fair from fair sometimes declines,/By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimm’d：每一個美人總要失去美貌，即使沒有突發的以外事件，也逃不過自然界生老病死的變遷。Sometimes: 有的版本作“sometime”: at some unspecified time.
Untrimm’d: untrimmed. 本意為剝去美觀的衣服等，此處隱喻奪去美貌等。
Fair thou ow’st: beauty you own. 莎士比亞時代，owe與own通用。古英語第二人稱單數后加-st或-est
His shade：shadow of death.
“Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade”：“死神無從夸口，說你在他的陰影里徘徊”。
To time thou grow’st: you grow as long as time lasts. 與時間同壽。 Grow to = be incorporated with.
內容解析：
此詩的發展變化：以人比夏天開始，以人勝自然終結。前四行說明人比夏天更美更溫和；中四行發展了這個意思，引到駐顏無術的感慨；第三組則新意突起，推翻前言，終于于勝利的末兩行作結。此詩表達了這樣一種思想：美麗的事物可以依靠文學的力量而永遠不朽；文學是人所創造的，因此這有宣告了人的不朽。因此此詩不是一般的愛情詩。
形式解析：
sonnet：十四行詩，即“商籟體”詩。此詩體起源不明，最早的例子出現于13世紀，16世紀在英國出現。主要有意大利式和英國式兩種變體。意大利詩人Petrarch [/petra:k]用此詩體最精熟，故意大利式又稱Petrarchan sonnet。英國式由莎士比亞創立，又稱 Shakespearean sonnet.
意大利式分前八行、后六行。韻尾是abba, abba; cde, dcd.。莎士比亞式十四行詩，層次上分前四行，中四行，后四行和結尾兩行。韻尾為：abab, cdcd, efef, gg。格律是抑揚格五音步。

參考譯文：
能不能讓我把你比擬作夏日？
你可是更加溫和，更加可愛：
狂風會吹落五月的好花兒，
夏季的生命又未免結束得太快：
有時候蒼天的巨眼照得太灼熱，
他那金彩的臉色也會被遮暗；
每一樣美呀，總會離開美而凋落，
被時機或者自然的代謝所摧殘；
但是你永久的夏天決不會凋枯，
你永遠不會失去你美的儀態；
死神夸不著你在他影子里躑躅，
你將在不朽的詩中與時間同在；
只要人類在呼吸，眼睛看得見，
我這詩就活著，使你的生命綿延。（屠岸）
2 Spring

When daisies pied and violets blue
And lady-smocks all silver-white
And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue
Do paint the meadows with delight,
The cuckoo then, on every three,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo,
Cuckoo, cuckoo! Oh word of fear
Unpleasing to a married ear!

When shepherds pipe on oaten straws,
And merry larks are ploughmen’s clocks,
When turtles tread, and rooks, and daws,
And maidens bleach their summer smocks,
The cuckoo then, on every three,
Mocks married men; for thus sings he,
Cuckoo,
Cuckoo, cuckoo! Oh word of fear
Unpleasing to a married ear!
------Comedy: Love’s Labour Lost

劇情：拿伐Navarre [n /va: ]國王與其幾位朝臣立誓三年之內摒棄一切世俗的快樂，致力于研究學問。其中的一條是：三年之中不可與女子交談一次。不久法國公主攜幾名侍女來辦理國務，國王和朝臣門守不住自己的誓言，愛上了這幾個女子。最后公主的父親去世，公主要持戒三年，國王和朝臣們的求愛也化為泡影。此詩在此劇之結尾處。
注釋：
daisies pied：雜色的雛菊。
lady-smock：也作lady’s-smock 花名：布谷鳥剪秋羅。Smock：〈古〉女襯衣，罩衣。
cuckoo-buds of yellow hue：黃色的杜鵑花。hue：顏色。
Cuckoo：[/kuku:] 布谷鳥的叫聲，與/cuckold（奸婦的丈夫）一詞諧音。
shepherds [/ ep d]
pipe on oaten straws：拿燕麥桿吹哨子。
turtles tread：斑鳩交配。Turtle：〈古〉斑鳩，=turtledove。 Tread：（雄鳥）與（雌鳥）交配。
rooks and daws：白嘴鴉和穴鳥。
內容解析：
春天里百花爭艷，萬象更新，情人們沉醉于甜蜜的愛情之中。但樹梢上布谷鳥的叫聲卻似乎在不斷提醒人們：愛情并不可考。此詩有反諷意味，與劇情一致。英國詩人甘貝爾（Thomas Campbell，1777—1844）在 Freedom and Love一詩中說：“Love has bliss, but love has ruining/ Other smiles may make you fickle/ Tears for other charm may trickle。”

參考譯文：
當雜色的雛菊開遍牧場，
藍的紫羅藍，白的美人衫，
還有那杜鵑花吐蕾嬌黃，
描出了一片廣大的欣歡；

聽杜鵑在每一株樹上叫，
把那娶了妻的男人譏笑：
咯咕！
咯咕！咯咕！啊，可怕的聲音！
害得做丈夫的肉跳心驚。

當無愁的牧童口吹麥笛，
清晨的云雀驚醒了農人，
斑鳩烏鴉都在覓侶求匹，
女郎們漂洗夏季的衣群；
聽杜鵑在每一株樹上叫，
把那娶了妻的男人譏笑：
咯咕！
咯咕！咯咕！啊，可怕的聲音！
害得做丈夫的肉跳心驚。（朱生豪）

英語詩歌(9)

Mother Machree 慈母頌

There’s a spot in my heart

which no colleen may own;

There’s a depth in my soul

never sounded or known;

在我心中有那么一隅，

任何少女也不能占據。

它埋在我靈魂的深處，

我從不聲張從不表露。

There’s a place in my memory

my life that you fill;

No other can take it

no one ever will;

在我的記憶里，

生活充滿著你。

別人不能替代，

永遠也無例外。

Every sorrow or care

in the dear days gone by;

Was made bright by the light

of the smile in your eye;

逝去的歡樂日子里，

也曾有煩惱和憂傷。

但你眸中微笑的光，

總可以把一切照亮。

Like a candle that’s set

in a window at night;

Your fond love has cheered me

and guided me right;

宛如一支點燃的蠟燭，

茫茫黑夜中透過窗戶。

你溫柔的愛鼓舞著我，

指引我走上正確道路。

Sure I love the dear silver

that shines in your hair;

And the brow that’s all furrowed

and wrinkled with care;

我愛你美麗的頭髪，

閃爍著熠熠的銀光。

我愛你額上的皺紋，

刻滿了歲月的滄桑。

I kiss the dear fingers

so toil warm for me;

Oh! God bless you and

keep you, mother machree!

我吻你優美的雙手，

為我辛勞暖我心房。

愿主保佑與你同在，

慈母啊，我的親娘！

MyFiveSenses

I am somebody!

I am able to see with my eyes.

I see the frog jumping.

I am able to hear with my ears.

I hear the bird singing.

I am able to smell with my nose.

The roses smell good.

I am able to taste with my tongue.

The candy tastes sweet.

I am able to touch with my hands.

The ice feels cold.

Whatever I do, I use my five senses.

spring goeth all in white

春之女神著素裝

robert bridges

羅伯特·布里季

spring goeth all in white,

crowned with milk-white may;

in fleecy flocks of light,

o"er heaven the white clouds stray;

white butterflies in the air;

white daisies prank the ground;

the cherry and hoary pear,

scatter their snow around. 春之女神著素裝，

山楂花冠乳白光；

天上分明一群羊，

白云朵朵自來往；

粉蝶空中時蹁躚；

廷命菊花飾郊原；

櫻桃梨樹共爭艷，

四處非花如雪片。

the river of life

thomas campbell 生命之川

妥默司·康沫爾

the more we live, more brief appear

our life"s succeeding stages;

a day to childhood seems a year,

and years like passing ages.

the gladsome current of our youth,

ere passion yet disorders,

steals lingering like a river smooth,

along its grassy borders.

but as the care-worn cheets grow wan,

and sorrow"s shafts fly thicker,

ye stars, that measure life to man,

why seem your courses quicker?

when joys have lost their bloom and breath

and life itself is vapid,

why, as we reach the falls of death,

feel we its tide more rapid?

it may be strange-yet who would change

time"s coures to slower speeding,

when one by one our friends have gone

and left our bosoms bleeding?

heaven gives our years of fading strength

indemnifying fleetness;

and those of youth,a seeming length,

proportion"d their sweetness.

人生越老，歲月越短，

生命的歷程似在飛換；

兒時的一天如同一載，

一載如同幾個朝代。

青春的熱情尚未衰退，

愉悅的流泉但覺遲遲，

有如一道草原中的綠溪，

靜悄悄的蜿蜒著流瀉。

但待頰上的紅霞退盡，

憂愁的征箭越飛越頻，

星星呦星星，你們大小司命，

你們的運行為何越來越迅？

當快感失去了花時和吸引，

生命本身有如一個空瓶，

當我快要臨到死境，

為什么退潮更加猛進？

怪誕呀，可能是怪誕——

誰要不想把日程放慢，

友人的謝世接二連三，

胸中的傷痛如荼如炭。

是天，使我們日漸衰竭的暮年

得到迅速消失的補償，

是天，使青年時代的快樂，

得到相應的貌似延長。

to daffodils

robert herrick 詠黃水仙花

羅伯特·哈里克

fair daffodils,we weep to see

you haste away so soon;

as yet the early-rising sun

has not attain"d his noon.

stay,stay,

until the hasting day

has run

but to the even-song;

and,having pray"d together, we

will go with you along.

we have short time to stay, as you;

we have as short a spring;

as quick a growth to meet decay,

as you,or anything.

we die,

as your hours do,and dry

away

like to the summer"s rain,

or as the pearls of morning"s dew,

ne"er to be found again.

美的黃水仙，凋謝的太快，

我們感覺著悲哀；

連早晨出來的太陽

都還沒有上升到天蓋。

停下來,停下來，

等匆忙的日腳

跑進

黃昏的木暮靄；

在那時共同祈禱著，

在回家的路上徘徊。

我們也只有短暫的停留，

青春的易逝堪憂；

我們方生也就方死，

和你們一樣，

一切都要罷休。

你們謝了，

我們也要去了，

如同夏雨之驟，

或如早上的露珠，

永無痕跡可求。

the daffodils

william wordsworth 黃水仙花

威廉姆·華滋華斯

i wander"d lonely as a cloud

that floats on hight o"er vales and hills,

when all the once i saw a crowd,

a host,of golden daffodils,

beside the lake,beneath the trees,

fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

continuous as the stars that shine,

and twinkle on the milky way,

they stretch"d in never-ending line

along the margin of a day:

ten thousand saw i at a glance

tossing their heads in springtly dance.

the waves beside them danced,but they

out-did the sparking waves in glee:

a poet could not but be gay

in such a jocund company!

i grazed and grazed——but little thought

what wealth the show to me had brought;

for oft,when on my couch i lie

in vacant or in pensive mood,

they flash upon that inward eye

which is the bliss of solitude;

and then my heart with pleasure fills,

and dances with the daffodils.

獨行徐徐如浮云，

橫絕太空渡山谷，

忽然在我一瞥中，

金色水仙花成簇，

開在湖邊喬木下，

微風之中頻搖曳。

有如群星在銀河，

行影綿綿光灼灼，

湖畔蜿蜒花徑長，

連成一線無斷續。

一瞥之中萬朵花，

起舞蹁躚頭點啄。

湖中碧水起漣漪，

湖波踴躍無花樂——

詩人對此殊激昂，

獨在花中事幽攄！

凝眼看花又看花，

當時未解伊何福。

晚來枕上意幽幽，

無慮無憂殊恍惚。

情景閃爍心眼中，

黃水仙賦禪悅；

我心乃得意歡娛，

同花公舞天上曲。

吾愛吾愛玫瑰紅，

六月初開韻曉風；

吾愛吾愛如管弦，

其聲悠揚而玲瓏。

吾愛吾愛美而珠，

我心愛你永不渝，

我心愛你永不渝，

直到四海海水枯；

直到四海海水枯，

巖石融化變成泥，

只要我還有口氣，

我心愛你永不渝。

暫時告別我心肝，

請你不要把心耽！

縱使相隔十萬里，

踏穿地皮也要還。

he that loves a rosy cheek

thomas carew 真的美

托默斯·加魯

he that loves a rosy cheek

or a coral lip admires,

or from star-like eyes doth seek

fuel to maintain his fires;

as old time makes these decay,

so his flames must waste away.

but a smooth and steadfast mind,

gentle thoughts,and calm desires,

hearts with equal love combined,

kindle never-dying fires;——

where these are not,i despise

lovely cheek or lips or eyes.

頰如玫瑰紅，

唇如珊瑚赤，

星眼珠耀然，

有人為之熱；

遲暮具凋零，

熱情亦衰竭。

心平氣亦和，

寧靜而謙抑，

一視能同仁，

愛之永不滅；——

世若無斯人，

頰唇眼何益？

trees

joyce kilmer 樹

菊葉斯·基爾默

i think that i shall never see

a poem lovely as a tree.

a tree whose hungry mouth is prest

againsr the earth"s sweet flowing breast;

a tree that looks at god all day,

and lifts her leafy arms to pry;

a tree that may in summer wear

a nest of robins in her hair;

upon whose bosom snow has lain;

who intimately lives with rain.

poems are made by fools like me,

but only god can make a tree.

我向，永遠不會看到一首詩，

可愛的如同一株樹一樣。

一株樹，他的饑渴的嘴

吮吸著大地的甘露。

一株樹，他整日望著天

高擎著葉臂，祈禱無語。

一株樹，夏天在他的發間

會有知更鳥砌巢居住。

一株樹，白雪躺在他胸上，

他和雨是親密的伴侶。

詩是我輩愚人所吟，

樹只有上帝才能賦。

the paps of dana

james stephens 月神的奶頭

吉姆肆·斯弟芬司

the moutains stand and stare around,

they are far too proud to speak,

altho"they are rooted in the ground

up they go,peak after peak,

before the tallest house,and still

soaring over tree and hill

until you"d think they"d never stop

going up,top over top,

into the clouds——still i mark

that a sparrow pr a lark

flying just as high can sing

as if he"d not done anything.

i think the mountains ought to be

taught a little modesty. 山岳巍然，雄視八荒，

氣象莊嚴，無聲無響，

植根大地，負勢竟上。

洪濤排空，群峰低昂，

超越宮殿，凌彼森崗，

高入云表，爭霸爭王，

不思舉止，徒逞豪強。

我觀云鳥，載翱載翔，

飛抵上蒼，盡情歌唱，

自由自在，毫不夸張。

告彼山岳，宜稍謙讓，

戒驕戒躁，好自思量。

winter moon

伊吾琳·司科特

a little white thistle moon

blown over the cold crags and fens:

a little white thistle moon

blown across the frozen heather. 初月如銀溝，

吹過冰巖沼；

如勾初月白，

吹渡寒郊草

英語詩歌(11)

一

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O, no! it is an ever-fix`ed mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wand"ring bark,

Whose worth"s unknown, although his heighth be taken.

Love"s not Time"s fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle"s compass come;

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom:

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

莫讓我向真摯心靈的結合

承認障礙。愛不是愛

若是遇有變節的機會就改變，

或是被強勢剝離就屈服：

哦，那不是愛！愛是堅定的烽火，

凝視著狂濤而不動搖；

愛是向導迷航船只的明星，

高度可測，實價無量。

愛不受時光影響，即使紅唇粉頰

終會被歲月的鐮刀砍伐；

愛不隨分分秒秒、日日月月改變，

愛不畏時間磨煉，直到末日盡頭。

如果有人可證明我所解不實，

我從未寫過，而無人曾真愛過。

二

In faith I do not love thee with mine eyes,

For they in thee a thousand errors note;

But `tis my heart that loves what they despise,

Who in despite of view is pleased to dote.

Nor are mine ears with thy tongue`s tune delighted;

Nor tender feeling to base touches prone,

Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited

To any sensual feast with thee alone.

But my five wits, nor my five senses can

Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,

Who leaves unswayed the likeness of a man,

Thy proud heart`s slave and vassal wretch to be.

Only my plague thus far I count my gain,

That she that makes me sin awards me pain.

我不真的憑我的眼睛來愛你，

在你身上人們只見千處缺點；

但我的心卻愛著眼睛所輕視

溺愛著，不理睬面前的景象。

我耳朵不聽你舌尖傳的愉悅音色；

我那期待著愛撫的敏感觸覺，

我的味覺,我的嗅覺,不愿出席

你的個人的任何感官的宴會。

可是我的五智或五感卻不能

說服一個癡心不愛你，

剩下男人那一點不為動搖的，

甘愿做你那高傲之心的奴隸。

然我只能將我愛情悲苦視作益處，

她誘使我犯罪，她令我受苦。

三

Then let not winter"s ragged hand deface, In thee thy summer, ere thou be distilled: Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place With beauty"s treasure ere it be self-killed. That use is not forbidden usury, Which happies those that pay the willing loan; That"s for thy self to breed another thee, Or ten times happier, be it ten for one; Ten times thy self were happier than thou art, If ten of thine ten times refigured thee: Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart, Leaving thee living in posterity? Be not self-willed, for thou art much too fair To be death"s conquest and make worms thine heir.

那么?別讓冬天嶙峋的手抹掉你的夏天?在你未經提煉之前?熏香一些瓶子?把你美的財寶藏在寶庫里?趁它還未及消散。

這樣的借貸并不是違禁取利,既然它使那樂意納息的高興；這是說你該為你另生一個你，或者，一個生十?就十倍地幸運，十倍你自己比你現在更快樂；如果你有十個兒子來重現你：這樣?即使你長辭，死將奈你何?既然你繼續活在你的后裔里？

別任性：你那么標致，何必甘心做死的勝利品，讓蛆蟲做子孫。

四

Lo! in the orient when the gracious light Lifts up his burning head, each under eye Doth homage to his new-appearing sight, Serving with looks his sacred majesty; And having climbed the steep-up heavenly hill, Resembling strong youth in his middle age, Yet mortal looks adore his beauty still, Attending on his golden pilgrimage:But when from highmost pitch, with weary car, Like feeble age, he reeleth from the day, The eyes, "fore duteous, now converted are From his low tract, and look another way: So thou, thyself outgoing in thy noon Unlooked on diest unless thou get a son.

看,當普照萬物的太陽從東方抬起了火紅的頭，下界的眼睛都對他初升的景象表示敬仰，用目光來恭候他神圣的駕臨；然后他既登上了蒼穹的極峰，像精力飽滿的壯年，雄姿英發，萬民的眼睛依舊膜拜他的崢嶸，緊緊追隨著他那疾馳的金駕。

但當他，像耄年拖著塵倦的車輪，從絕頂顫巍巍地離開了白天，眾目便一齊從他下沉的足印移開它們那原來恭順的視線。

同樣，你的燦爛的日中一消逝，你就會悄悄死去，[1]如果沒后嗣。

五

From?fairest?creatures?we?desire?increase,

對天生的尤物我們要求蕃盛，
That?thereby?beauty"s?rose?might?never?die,
以便美的玫瑰永遠不會枯死，
But?as?the?riper?should?by?time?decease,
但開透的花朵既要及時雕零，
His?tender?heir?might?bear?his?memory:
就應把記憶交給嬌嫩的后嗣；
But?thou?contracted?to?thine?own?bright?eyes,
但你，只和你自己的明眸定情，
Feed"st?thy?light"s?flame?with?self-substantial?fuel,
把自己當燃料喂養眼中的火焰，
Making?a?famine?where?abundance?lies,
和自己作對，待自己未免太狠，
Thy?self?thy?foe,?to?thy?sweet?self?too?cruel:
把一片豐沃的土地變成荒田。
Thou?that?art?now?the?world"s?fresh?ornament,
你現在是大地的清新的點綴，
And?only?herald?to?the?gaudy?spring,
又是錦繡陽春的唯一的前鋒，
Within?thine?own?bud?buriest?thy?content,
為什么把富源葬送在嫩蕊里，
And?tender?churl?mak"st?waste?in?niggarding:
溫柔的鄙夫，要吝嗇，反而浪用？
Pity?the?world,?or?else?this?glutton?be,
可憐這個世界吧，要不然，貪夫，
To?eat?the?world"s?due,?by?the?grave?and?thee.
就吞噬世界的份，由你和墳墓。

人生哲理與現實主義精神

莎士比亞《十四行詩》的1-17首形成一組，具有同一主題，都是詩人勸他的青年好友應該結婚的。因為，時間在改變一切，他那美的形貌也會消逝；只有結婚生育，才能在后代的身上永駐青春。從這組詩里，我們得識詩人那積極進取的人生哲理與現實主義精神。

開篇的十七首詩

主題隨同，但是莎翁以不同的譬喻，從不同的角度，提煉、抒發為深沉的詩。

第一首（Sonnet 1）

詩人開宗明義地提出：熟透了的東西隨時會殞落，血親后嗣就該繼承他的遺業，要美的生命不斷繁衍孳生，艷麗的玫瑰才不會凋謝。這是自然法則，也啟示著現實中人應步的常道。但是朋友，你卻不去尋結連理，只獨鐘其身，恰似和自己的眼睛訂婚，燃盡自身，也只能燒煉出雙眸的光焰，而不能把你的美傳諸后人。這是和自己作對，就會在豐饒的田野上釀出了饑饉。你本是天地的精華，鮮艷的珍品，自應婚娶，生育美的后代，為燦爛的春天開路。而你卻不肯與美人結合，愿在自身的花蕾里埋葬了自己。這種自憐的吝嗇，釀成了毀滅的浪費，該有多么可惜與可嘆啊！所以，詩人于最后剴切陳情：親愛的朋友，可憐這世界吧，你不能違背自然規律，把世界應得的統統讓墳墓吞去，和你一同消逝。這詩蘊含著文藝復興時代，一個人文主義者赤誠的現實主義精神。您聽到了嗎，詩人在為春天開路，為美的永駐而吶喊哩！

注釋

2.That?以便，等同于so?that。

3.riper?成熟的玫瑰。
5-8.thou,thine,thy,thyself相當于現代英語中的you,your,yourself,thy和thine是物主代詞，只是thine用在以元音開頭的詞前面。
5.contracted?與...簽合同的，與...訂婚的。
6.Feed"st?在當時的英語中，當主語是第二人稱單數thou時，在一般現在時中要在動詞后加屈折詞尾-est，正如在現代英語中如果主語是第三人稱單數，一般現在時動詞后要加-s一樣。這里的feed"st本來應該是feedest，兩個音節，省略feedest中的e是為了減少一個音節，這是格律的需要。
9-11.這三行的基本結構是Thou?buriest?thy?content?within?thine?own?bud;
that...gaudy?spring是定語從句，修飾第9行中的Thou。
9.Thou?that?art在莎士比亞時代的英語中，當主語是thou時，動詞be的一般現在是art，所以Thou?that?art?就是You?who?are。
10.herald?使者。
11.buriest?參見第6行中feed"st的注解。
12.churl?吝嗇鬼，小氣鬼。niggard?動詞，吝嗇，小氣。
13.glutton?貪吃的人。
14.the?world"due?你的孩子，你因為不結婚生子而前世界的東西。

六

When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
And dig deep trenches in thy beauty"s field,
Thy youth"s proud livery so gazed on now,
Will be a tatter"d weed of small worth held:
Then being asked, where all thy beauty lies,
Where all the treasure of thy lusty days;
To say, within thine own deep sunken eyes,
Were an all-eating shame, and thriftless praise.
How much more praise deserv"d thy beauty"s use,
If thou couldst answer "This fair child of mine
Shall sum my count, and make my old excuse,"
Proving his beauty by succession thine!
??? This were to be new made when thou art old,
??? And see thy blood warm when thou feel"st it cold.

當四十個冬天圍攻你的朱顏，
在你美的園地挖下深的戰壕，
你青春的華服，那么被人艷羨，
將成襤褸的敗絮，誰也不要瞧：
那時人若問起你的美在何處，
哪里是你那少壯年華的寶藏，
你說，“在我這雙深陷的眼眶里，
是貪婪的羞恥，和無益的頌揚。”
你的美的用途會更值得贊美，
如果你能夠說，“我這寧馨小童
將總結我的賬，寬恕我的老邁，”
證實他的美在繼承你的血統！
　　這將使你在衰老的暮年更生，
　　并使你垂冷的血液感到重溫。

七

Look in thy glass and tell the face thou viewest
Now is the time that face should form another;
Whose fresh repair if now thou not renewest,
Thou dost beguile the world, unbless some mother.
For where is she so fair whose unear"d womb
Disdains the tillage of thy husbandry?
Or who is he so fond will be the tomb,
Of his self-love to stop posterity?
Thou art thy mother"s glass and she in thee
Calls back the lovely April of her prime;
So thou through windows of thine age shalt see,
Despite of wrinkles this thy golden time.
??? But if thou live, remember"d not to be,
??? Die single and thine image dies with thee.

照照鏡子，告訴你那鏡中的臉龐，
說現在這龐兒應該另造一副；
如果你不趕快為它重修殿堂，
就欺騙世界，剝掉母親的幸福。
因為哪里會有女人那么淑貞
她那處女的胎不愿被你耕種？
哪里有男人那么蠢，他竟甘心
做自己的墳墓，絕自己的血統？
你是你母親的鏡子，在你里面
她喚回她的盛年的芳菲四月：
同樣，從你暮年的窗你將眺見——
縱皺紋滿臉——你這黃金的歲月。
　　但是你活著若不愿被人惦記，
　　就獨自死去，你的肖像和你一起

八

Unthrifty loveliness, why dost thou spend
Upon thy self thy beauty"s legacy?
Nature"s bequest gives nothing, but doth lend,
And being frank she lends to those are free:
Then, beauteous niggard, why dost thou abuse
The bounteous largess given thee to give?
Profitless usurer, why dost thou use
So great a sum of sums, yet canst not live?
For having traffic with thy self alone,
Thou of thy self thy sweet self dost deceive:
Then how when nature calls thee to be gone,
What acceptable audit canst thou leave?
??? Thy unused beauty must be tombed with thee,
??? Which, used, lives th" executor to be.

俊俏的浪子，為什么把你那份
美的遺產在你自己身上耗盡？
造化的饋贈非賜予，她只出賃；
她慷慨，只賃給寬宏大量的人。
那么，美麗的鄙夫，為什么濫用
那交給你轉交給別人的厚禮？
賠本的高利貸者，為什么浪用
那么一筆大款，還不能過日子？
因為你既然只和自己做買賣，
就等于欺騙你那嫵媚的自我。
這樣，你將拿什么賬目去交代，
當造化喚你回到她懷里長臥？
　　你未用過的美將同你進墳墓；
　　用呢，就活著去執行你的遺囑

九

Those hours, that with gentle work did frame
The lovely gaze where every eye doth dwell,
Will play the tyrants to the very same
And that unfair which fairly doth excel;
For never-resting time leads summer on
To hideous winter, and confounds him there;
Sap checked with frost, and lusty leaves quite gone,
Beauty o"er-snowed and bareness every where:
Then were not summer"s distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty"s effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it, nor no remembrance what it was:
??? But flowers distill"d, though they with winter meet,
??? Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.

那些時辰曾經用輕盈的細工
織就這眾目共注的可愛明眸，
終有天對它擺出魔王的面孔，
把絕代佳麗剁成龍鍾的老丑：
因為不舍晝夜的時光把盛夏
帶到猙獰的冬天去把它結果；
生機被嚴霜窒息，綠葉又全下，
白雪掩埋了美，滿目是赤裸裸：
那時候如果夏天尚未經提煉，
讓它凝成香露鎖在玻璃瓶里，
美和美的流澤將一起被截斷，
美，和美的記憶都無人再提起：
　　但提煉過的花，縱和冬天抗衡，
　　只失掉顏色，卻永遠吐著清芬。

十

Then let not winter"s ragged hand deface,
In thee thy summer, ere thou be distill"d:
Make sweet some vial; treasure thou some place
With beauty"s treasure ere it be self-kill"d.
That use is not forbidden usury,
Which happies those that pay the willing loan;
That"s for thy self to breed another thee,
Or ten times happier, be it ten for one;
Ten times thy self were happier than thou art,
If ten of thine ten times refigur"d thee:
Then what could death do if thou shouldst depart,
Leaving thee living in posterity?
??? Be not self-will"d, for thou art much too fair
??? To be death"s conquest and make worms thine heir.

那么，別讓冬天嶙峋的手抹掉
你的夏天，在你未經提煉之前：
熏香一些瓶子；把你美的財寶
藏在寶庫里，趁它還未及消散。
這樣的借貸并不是違禁取利，
既然它使那樂意納息的高興；
這是說你該為你另生一個你，
或者，一個生十，就十倍地幸運；
十倍你自己比你現在更快樂，
如果你有十個兒子來重現你：
這樣，即使你長辭，死將奈你何，
既然你繼續活在你的后裔里？
　　別任性：你那么標致，何必甘心
　　做死的勝利品，讓蛆蟲做子孫。

文藝復興時期持續時間是14-17世紀，中國正處于元朝末年到明朝時期。

我喜歡你是靜靜的 我覺得很優美

I like for you to be still: it is as through you are absent

and you hear me from far away and my voice does not touch you

It seems as through your eyes had flown away

and it seems that a kiss had sealed your mouth

我喜歡你是靜靜的：仿佛你消失了一樣

你從遠處聆聽我，我的聲音卻無法觸及你

as all things are filled with my soul

your emerge from the things, fill with my soul

you are like my soul, a butterfly of dreams

and you are like the word melancholy

如同我積滿一切的靈魂

你像我的靈魂，像一只夢想的蝴蝶

你如同“憂郁”這個詞

And you hear me from far away, and my voice does not reach you

Let me e to be still in your silence

That is bright like a lamp, simple as a ring

You are like the night, with its stillness and constellations

Your silence is that of a star, as remount and candid

你的沉默亮若明燈，簡單如環

你如黑夜，擁有寂靜與群星

你的沉默就是星星的力量，遙遠而明亮

I like for you to be still: it is as though you are absent

distant and dull of sorrow, as though you had died

One word then, one smile, is enough

And I"m happy, happy that’s not true

我喜歡你是靜靜的：仿佛你消失了一樣

遠隔千里，滿懷哀慟，仿佛你已不在人世

彼時，一個字，一個微笑，就已足夠

而我會感到幸福，因那不是真的而感到幸福

I shot an arrow in the air, 我向空中射了一箭，

It fell to earth, I knew not where; 它已落到地面，我不知道其去向;

For who has sight so keen and strong, 誰有這么敏銳的視力，

That it can follow the flight of song? 能跟得上歌聲的飛馳?

著名的英語詩歌-詩歌

　　著名英語詩歌篇1

　　The Difference Between Love and Like

　　by Anna Site Herdiyanti

　　In front of the person you love, your heart beats faster,

　　But in front of the person you like, you get happy.

　　In front of the person you love, winter seems like spring,

　　But in front of the person you like, winter is just beautiful winter.

　　If you look into the eyes of the one you love, you blush,

　　But if you look into the eyes of the one you like, you smile.

　　In front of the person you love, you can’t say everything on your mind,

　　But in front of the person you like, you can.

　　In front of the person you love, you tend to get shy,

　　But in front of the person you like, you can show your own self.

　　The person you love comes into your mind every 2 minutes,

　　You can’t look straight into the eyes of the one you love,

　　But you can always smile into the eyes of the one you like.

　　When the one you love is crying, you cry with them,

　　But when the one you like is crying, you end up comforting.

　　The feeling of love starts from the eye.

　　And the feeling of like starts from the ear.

　　So if you stop liking a person you used to like,

　　All you need to do is cover your ears.

　　But if you try to close your eyes,

　　Love turns into a teardrop and remains in your heart forever after.

　　愛與喜歡的區別

　　安娜.思蒂.何迪艷提(著)

　　面對心愛的人，你的心跳會加速，

　　然而面對喜歡的人，你會興高采烈。

　　面對心愛的人，冬天就像是春天，

　　然而面對喜歡的人，冬天是個美麗的冬天。

　　假如你凝視的是心愛的人，你會臉紅，

　　但假如你凝視的是喜歡的人，你會微笑。

　　面對心愛的人，你不能說出心中的一切，

　　然而面對喜歡的人，你言無不盡。

　　面對心愛的人，你容易羞澀，

　　然而面對喜歡的人，你能展現真實的自我。

　　心愛的人時刻縈繞在你心頭，

　　你不能直視心愛的人的眼睛，

　　而你卻能欣然接受喜歡的人的目光。

　　當心愛的人哭泣，你會一同落淚，

　　而當喜歡的人哭泣，你會停下來安慰。

　　愛的感覺源自眼睛，

　　而喜歡的感覺源自耳朵。

　　所以如果你不再喜歡你喜歡的人，

　　你只需要堵住耳朵。

　　但是如果你試圖閉上眼睛，

　　愛便會化作一滴淚水，永遠留在你的心中。
