诗歌小常识
1. 有的英文诗分成几节(stanza),每节由若干诗行组成;有的诗则不分节。
2. 诗每行的第一个字母都大写,但是一诗行不一定是一个完整的句子,不一定能表达完整的意思。有时一行诗正好是一句,有时两行甚至许多行才构成一个意思完整的句子。
3. 押韵。常见押韵:头韵指一行(节)诗中几个词开头的辅音相同。押在诗行最后一个重读音节上,叫尾韵。这是诗歌最常见的押韵部位。诗行中间停顿处的重读音节与该行最后一个重读音节押韵者,叫行内韵。也有不少是不押韵的,称无韵诗或白体诗。多用在戏剧和叙事诗中。

互相帮助完成作业
好好学习一起向上
后来慢慢地我交到了新朋友
新年聚会上尽情欢乐
我们学习一门不同的语言
And now it's time to graduate
We will leave our lovely school
I can't believe it's been three years
I'm trying to keep my cool
But it's difficult not to cry
I'll miss the school trees and flowers
And our kind and caring teachers
Wonderful memories of ours
如今到了毕业的时候
我们将离开深爱的母校
我在尽力让自己保持冷静
忍住不哭是何等艰难
将变成我们的美好回忆
