读者有时发现英文诗与中文诗有
异曲同工之妙。短语remind sb. of sb./sth.本意为(cause sb. to remember or be newly aware of sb./sth) 使某人回想起或意识到某人或某事。例如:This song reminds me of France. 当然,在课本的原句中若直搬其中文意思就会使语义不太顺畅。故在翻译句子时,还应注意其意义。 2. Poetry also calls up all the colours,
feelings, experiences and curious images of a dream world.
诗歌还能唤起梦幻世界的一切色彩,
感情,经历和各种奇特的意象。 call up 在本句中意为"唤起,回忆起";
还可表示"给某人打电话"。例如: The sound of happy laughter called up memories of his childhood.有关call的短语 call on sb. 拜访某人 call at a place 拜访某地call for sth. 需求某事物call back 叫回,回电话 call off 取消 3. The earliest poem was written in a
kind of English that is now difficult to understand.
早期诗中运用的英文很难被现代人
理解。 本句的定语从句中运用了一个重点句式:sth. /sb. is+ adj. + to do注意在本结构中常用不定式的主动形式与前面的
句词构成逻辑上的动宾关系。类似的
结构还有:have sth. to do;
There is sth. to do; with sth. to do。例如:With a lot of difficult problems ________,the newly-elected President is having a hard time.(2002上海春招)A.settled B.steeling
C.to settle D.being settledC注:在with复合宾语结构中也可用分词, 4. Once published,his work became famous for the absence of rhyme at the end of each line.
Once published为Once his work was published的省略形式。在英语中,当状语从句中的主语与主句的主语一致并且从句的谓语是be done或be doing时,通常把从句的主语和助动词be省略掉。如:5.The style and atmosphere in their poems have often led to comparisons with poets such as Du Fu and Li Bai.
他们的诗歌风格和氛围经常会引发人们将其与杜甫和李白的诗对比。lead
v. 领导,导致,造成,过……生活。
例如: He led the blind man across the street.
Too much work often leads to illness.
They are leading a happy life. [相关句式] lead a...life = live a... life 过……生活lead sb. to a place 领某人到……lead sb. to do sth. 使/领某人干……lead to 导致,引起such as意为 “例如,诸如此类的”。
例如: I visited several cities such as New York, Chicago and Boston. such as 用来列举事物,常用在列举的事物和前面的名词之间,但是所列事物的数量不能等同于前面所提及事物的总数,否则应用that is或者namely;for example主要用于举例说明,一般只列举辨析:
such as, for example和namely/that is同类事物中的“一个”,其位置灵活,可置于句首,句中或句末,用标点符号隔开,而such as只能放在所列举事物之前。例如: He knows several languages such as English, French and German. I have three friends, namely/that is, John, Jack and Tom. Some students, for example, John, live in the neighborhood. Further-understandingIf a poem is translated into another language, is it still the same poem?
