四月生日By William Wordsworth

I wandered lonely as a cloud 我好似一朵孤独的流云, 中性风(Simile)That floats on high o'er vales and hills,恋爱方法高高地飘游在山谷之上, (师父的师父叫什么Simile)今年属牛的几岁
When all at once I saw a crowd,突然我看见一大片鲜花, (Personification/Metaphor)
A host, of golden daffodils;是金色的水仙遍地开放, Beside the lake, beneath the trees, 它们开在湖畔,开在树下, (alliteration)
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.它们随风嬉舞,随风波荡.(Personification/Metaphor
2Continuous as the stars that shine 它们密集如银河的星星, And twinkle on the milky way, 像群星在闪烁一片晶莹; (一二两行Simile/hyperbole)They stretched in never-ending line 它们沿着海湾向前伸展,
Along the margin of a bay: 通往远方仿佛无穷无尽; (三四两行Simile/hyperbole)
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, 一眼看去就有千朵万朵, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance..万花摇首舞得多么高兴.(personification)
3The waves beside them danced; but they粼粼湖波也在近旁欢跳, (personification)
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:却不如这水仙舞得轻俏; (personification)
A poet could not but be gay;诗人遇见这高兴的旅伴,
In such a jocund company;细胞核的结构和功能又怎能不感到欣喜雀跃;
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought我久久凝望——却未贯通
What wealth the show to me had brought:...这气象所给我的精力之宝.
4For oft when on my couch I lie后来多少次我郁郁独卧, In vacant or in pensive mood, 感到百无聊赖心灵空漠;
They flash upon that inward eye这气象便在脑海中闪现, Which is the bliss of solitude, 多少次抚慰过我的寂寞; And then my heart with pleasure fills, 我的心又随水仙跳起舞来, And dances with the daffodils....我的心又重新充满了欢乐. (personification)
1. The poet: William Wordsworth (1770--1850),Poet Laureate“桂冠诗人”,Lake Poets 湖畔派诗人(与Robert Southey一起)
2. Background:Poem recaptures a moment on April 15, 1802, when Wordsworth and his sister, Dorothy, were walking near a lake at Grasmere, Cumbria County, England, and came upon a shore lined with daffodils. (听说根据兄妹一起出去玩时看到水仙,被大自然的妩媚所吸引这一履历写成,体现了是人关于诗歌应描述“平静中回忆起来的情感”,emotion recollected in tranquility)
