罗伯特·弗罗斯特(1874年3月26日——1963年1月29日)是20世纪最受欢迎的美国诗人之一。他曾当过新英格兰的鞋匠、教师和农场主。他的诗歌从农村生活中汲取题材,与19世纪的诗人有很多共同之处,相比之下,却较少具有现代派气息。他曾赢得4次普利策奖和许多其他的奖励及荣誉,被称之为“美国文学中的桂冠诗人”。只是在他的下半生才赢得大众对其诗歌作品的承认。在此后的年代中,他树立起了一位伟大的文学家的形象。代表作品:《诗歌选集》《一棵作证的树》《山间》《新罕布什尔》《西去的溪流》《又一片牧场》《林间空地》和诗剧《理智的假面具》 《慈悲的假面具》《诗歌全集》《未选择的路》。
Robert Frost
Did the poet come to the woods alone
Did the poet respond to the question of horse
Whose woods these are I think I know,
我知道林子的主人是谁,
His house is in the village though.
虽村落是他所居之地。
He will not see me stopping here,
他不会看到我停留于此,
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
凝视他的林子雪花纷飞。
My little horse must think it queer,
我的小马一定以我为怪,
To stop without a farmhouse near,
近无房舍,为何停伫。
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
[雪夜林边小驻]---by Robert Frost
Between the woods and frozen lake, 况只有林子与冰湖,
The darkest evening of the year. 和一年中最黑之夜。
He gives his harness bells a shake, 他轻摇铃具
To ask if there is some mistake. 询问有错与否。
The only other sound's the sweep, 唯一的回复来自,
Of easy wind and downy flake. 软雪和清风。
The woods are lovely, dark and deep.
林子很美——昏暗而幽深,
But I have promises to keep, 但我已有约定。
And miles to go before I sleep. 沉醉前还有一段路要走
And miles to go before I sleep 沉醉前还有一段路要走。
3. Why did he come to the woods at snowy night
4. what decision did he finally make

what the poem tries to convey.
Hush, little baby, don’t say a word,
Papa’s going to buy you a mockingbird.
If that mockingbird won’t sing,
Papa’s going to buy you a diamond ring.
If that diamond ring turns to brass,
Papa’s going to buy you a looking-glass.
If that looking-glass gets broke,
Papa’s going to buy you a billy-goat.
If that billy-goat runs away,
Papa’s going to buy you another today.
Poem A: a nursery rhyme that illustrates a
father’s love for his baby
Poem A
Careful reading:
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a fish-pond all on fire
I saw a house bow to a squire,
I saw a person twelve-feet high,
I saw a cottage in the sky,
I saw a balloon made of lead,
I saw coffin drop down dead,
I saw two sparrows run a race,
I saw two horses making lace,
I saw a girl just like a cat,
I saw a kitten wear a hat,
I saw a man who saw these too,
And said though strange they all were true.

List poem
(清单诗)
We would have won…
If Jack had scored that goal,
If we’d had just a few more minutes,
If we had trained harder,
If Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
If we’d had thousands of fans screaming,
If I hadn’t taken my eye off the ball,
If we hadn’t stayed up so late the night before,
If we hadn’t take it easy,
If we hadn’t run out of energy.
We would have won…
If we’d been better!

Does the speaker really believe his or her own excuse How do you know
No, because at the end of the poem the speaker admits that they just did not play well enough
to win.
Didn’t have enough time; didn’t have thousands of fans screaming; stayed up too late, and ran out of energy.
Why didn’t the players win Write down three excuses that the speaker gives.

Poem H: Tang poem
Where she awaits her husband,
On and on the river flows
Never looking back,
Transformed into stone.
Day by day upon the mountain top,
wind and rain revolve.
Should the journey return,
this stone would utter speech.
(by Wang Jian)
