(诗的)节,段

英语诗歌小常识
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. 英文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,不一定能表达一个完整的意思。
有时候,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. 英文诗一般都押韵。常见的几种押韵方式:头韵是指
一行(节)诗中几个词开头的辅音相同,形成押韵。
押在诗行最后一个重读音节上,叫尾韵。这是英文诗
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
英文诗是不押韵的,不押韵的诗称无韵诗或白体诗
(blank verse)。多用在戏剧和叙事诗中。
