When You are Old
by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
当你老了,头发白了,睡意昏沉,
在炉火旁打盹,请取下这部诗歌,
慢慢读,回想你过去眼神的柔和,
回想它们昔日阴影的浓重;
When You are Old
by William Butler Yeats (1865-1939)
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim / p lɡr m/ soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
你的愉快优雅叫多少人爱慕,
爱慕你的美丽,假意或真心,
只有一个人爱你那朝圣者的灵魂,
也爱你沧桑面容蕴含的凄楚;

Poetry is an expression of one’s will. What is kept in the heart is the will,
but when expressed in words, it is poetry.
—“Preface to The Book of Songs”
诗者,志之所之也。
在心为志,发言为诗。
A Spring Morning
By Meng Haoran
This spring morning in bed I’m lying,
Not to awake (醒着的)till birds are crying.
After one night of wind and showers,
How many are the fallen flowers!

Dreams
By Langston Hughes
Hold fast to dreams 紧紧抓住梦想,
For if dreams die 因为梦想若是消亡
Life is a broken-winged bird 生命就像鸟儿折了翅膀
That can never fly. 再也不能飞翔
Hold fast to dreams 紧紧抓住梦想,
For when dreams go 梦想若是消丧
Life is a barren field 生命就像贫瘠的荒野,
Frozen only with snow 雪覆冰封,万物不再生长

How to read a poem
Poetry is a combination of “sound” and “sense”. More than any other type of literature, it usually implies a deeper meaning beyond the words on the page . So, how to reveal this hidden dimension
poetry n.诗集,诗歌
combination n.联合;结合
literature n.文学
imply vt.暗指,暗示
reveal vt.揭示,揭露;显露
dimension n.方面,侧面;规模,程度
如何阅读诗歌
诗歌是“音”与“意”的融合。与其他任何文学类型相比,诗歌通常隐含着超越字面的更深层含义。那么,如何揭示隐藏的这个方面呢?
Para. 1
How to reveal poetry’s hidden dimension
First, follow your ears. While you may ask “What does it mean ” as you begin reading a poem, it is better to ask “How does it sound ” Even if its true meaning appears to be beyond your grasp, you can always say something about how the poem sounds when you read it aloud. Do you detect a rhythm Are there any repeated words, rhymes or other special effects All of these are good qualities to notice, and they may lead you to a better understanding of the poem in the end. Read these lines to feel how they sound.
首先,凭听觉的指引。当你刚开始读一首诗时,你可能会问: “这是什么意思?”但最好问一句: “它听起来怎么样?”即使你也许把握不住这首诗的正在含义,但是当你大声朗读时,你总是可以说说这首诗听上去如何。你能感觉到节奏吗?有没有重复词、押韵或其他特别的效果?所有这些都是值得注意的特质,它们可能最终会帮助你更好地理解这首诗。朗读下面这几句诗,感受它们的音律。
Para. 2
Follow your ears
Second, approach the poem as if you were an explorer in an unfamiliar landscape. Ask some basic questions about the poem. Who is talking Who is being talked to What is being described Is there a sense of place Are there other people or objects there As you explore the poem, you will begin to see images in your mind. What are those images, and what happens when they are put together This combination is often complex or even contradictory. As you slowly explore your surroundings, you will start to dig up clues that give you a greater understanding of the poem. Read these lines, pay attention to the image of the caged bird and try to find out what it means.
Para. 3
Approach the poem like an explorer
Third, if you are still struggling to interpret the meaning of a poem even with much painstaking effort, just have some patience. You cannot really understand a poem that you have only read once. Sometimes reading a poem can be a lifelong job. So if you do not get it, set the poem aside and come back to it later . As an explorer, you will not reach your goal immediately--- you need to go on a journey to a remote and unknown destination. This may seem difficult at first, but when you finally make your great discovery, your efforts will be rewarded. Poems that are easy to understand are often less interesting than those that constantly reveal deeper and previously unrecognized meanings. Read these lines and try to find out what they mean.
interpret vt.解释,阐释;把……理解为,领会;演绎vi.口译
patience n.耐心,忍耐力
painstaking adj.艰苦的;辛苦的
Para. 4
Have patience to interpret the meaning of a poem.
Finally, remember that you do not have to fully understand a poem to appreciate it. You might need to abandon logical thinking to discover its true inner beauty. As long as the journey of poetry reading makes you feel something or lets you perceive another level of meaning, it will have been worth your effort.
最后请记住,欣赏一首诗,并非得完全理解它不可。你可能需要抛开逻辑思维以发现诗歌真正的内在美。只要读诗之旅能让你有所感触,或者你领悟到另一层含义,那你的努力就是值得的。
Para. 5
Remember it’s not necessary to fully understand a poem
Poetry’s combination of “sound” and “sense” makes you see the world in a new way and allows you to go beyond normal reality for the everlasting beauty . Enjoy your journey in the world of poetry!
诗歌“音”与“意”的结合,让你用一种新的方式看待世界,让你超越普通的现实,追求永恒之美。在诗歌的世界里享受你的旅程吧!

The poem by Maya Angelou describes the image of a caged bird wanting to be free. The lines are short and simple, which makes the message more direct and powerful. The short lines could also imply the sense of being in a small cage with very little space to fly around in. This does not stop the bird from singing .By repeating the sound of some words: “trill”, “still”, and “hill” I can imagine the sound that the bird makes it sings its lonely song. “Caged Bird” reminds me of the possibilities we have in life and that we should look past our current limitations.
Post-reading
Please give some other tips on how to read a poem.
From my point of understand a poem better, we should also know more about the poet and the background in which the poem was created — the theme of a poem usually has a close relationship with the background in which the poet wrote it.
1. Finish B1 on P47.
2. Choose a poem that impresses you most. Discuss it with your partners and share the reasons why it impressed you.
