【译文】
诗歌是文学中重要的艺术形式之一,也是一种容易表达情感的方式。而且,每个人都有自己理解诗歌的方式。有的人在诗歌中寻找宽慰;有的人只是为了获得(心灵的)宁静而读诗;还有的人读诗是为了获得纯粹的艺术享受。
诗歌具有一些特殊的特征,这使它与其他文学形式存在很大区别。首先,诗歌有韵律模式。一般来说,一首诗的大部分诗句都遵循同一种韵律模式。诗歌可以押韵,但并不是一定要押韵。诗行有序地排列在一起,表达一种特定的感受或情感。
诗歌种类繁多,但根据其模式或形式,主要可以分为三种类型:
抒情诗:抒情诗主要注重表达人的思想和情感,而非叙述故事。抒情诗总是有着歌曲般的感染力,多为短诗。流行的抒情诗形式有挽诗、颂诗和十四行诗。威廉·莎士比亚、埃德蒙·沃勒以及约翰·济慈是有史以来最伟大的几位抒情诗人。
叙事诗:这种类型的诗歌叙述故事。叙事诗通常是长诗。史诗和叙事诗歌都属于这一类型。最伟大的几位史诗诗人有约翰·弥尔顿、但丁、埃德加·爱伦·坡、亚历山大·蒲柏、威廉·莎士比亚等。
戏剧诗:任何用韵文撰写的戏剧都是戏剧诗。这些诗歌通常讲述一个故事。无韵诗、戏剧独白以及案头剧都属于这种类型。威廉·莎士比亚、克里斯托弗·马洛和本·琼森是最伟大的几位戏剧诗人。
无论诗歌是何种形式,有一点不可否认的是,它是表达我们情感的最有力的工具之一。
真题展示
[全国乙2022·B篇] In 1916, two girls of wealthy families, best friends from Auburn, N.Y.—Dorothy Woodruff and Rosamond Underwood—traveled to a settlement in the Rocky Mountains to teach in a one-room schoolhouse. The girls had gone to Smith College. They wore expensive clothes. So for them to move to Elkhead, Colo. to instruct the children whose shoes were held together with string was a surprise. Their stay in Elkhead is the subject of Nothing Daunted:The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West by Dorothy Wickenden, who is a magazine editor and Dorothy Woodruff's granddaughter.
Why did they go then Well, they wanted to do something useful. Soon, however, they realized what they had undertaken.
They moved in with a local family, the Harrisons, and, like them, had little privacy, rare baths, and a blanket of snow on their quilt when they woke up in the morning. Some mornings, Rosamond and Dorothy would arrive at the schoolhouse to find the children weeping from the cold. In spring, the snow was replaced by mud over ice.
In Wickenden's book, she expanded on the history of the West and also on feminism, which of course influenced the girls' decision to go to Elkhead. A hair-raising section concerns the building of the railroads, which entailed (牵涉) drilling through the Rockies, often in blinding snowstorms. The book ends with Rosamond and Dorothy's return to Auburn.
Wickenden is a very good storyteller. The sweep of the land and the stoicism (坚忍) of the people move her to some beautiful writing. Here is a picture of Dorothy Woodruff, on her horse, looking down from a hill top:“When the sun slipped behind the mountains, it shed a rosy glow all around them. Then a full moon rose. The snow was marked only by small animals: foxes, coyotes, mice, and varying hares, which turned white in the winter.”
