谈谈如何轻松学诗歌英语
【背景】
诗歌是一种主情的文学体裁，它以抒情的方式，高度凝练，集中地反映社会生活，用丰富的想象、富有节奏感、韵律美的语言和分行排列的形式来抒发思想情感。诗歌是有节奏、有韵律并富有感情色彩的一种语言艺术形式，也是世界上最古老、最基本的文学形式。
诗歌起源于上古的社会生活，因劳动生产、两性相恋、原始宗教等而产生的一种有韵律、富有感情色彩的语言形式。《尚书·虞书》：“诗言志，歌咏言，声依永，律和声。”《礼记·乐记》：“诗，言其志也；歌，咏其声也；舞，动其容也；三者本于心，然后乐器从之。”早期，诗、歌与乐、舞是合为一体的。诗即歌词，在实际表演中总是配合音乐、舞蹈而歌唱，后来诗、歌、乐、舞各自发展，独立成体，诗与歌统称诗歌。
【原文】
Amanda: Hi, Mike. What are you reading?
Mike: Oh, these are just some books I picked up at a local poetry festival that took place a couple of weeks ago. Even though a lot of what the featured poets read wasn't in English, it was still neat to see that there are so many people who appreciate poetry in Taiwan.
Amanda: I didn't know you were such a poetry lover, Mike. Personally, I've always found that stuff a little bit boring and hard to understand. All that flowery language gives me a headache! I'd rather read a nice long novel any day.
Mike: I'll admit that poetry's an acquired taste. But once you learn more about it, you'll find that poems aren't all flowery and incomprehensible－they don't even have to rhyme! One of my favorite poets is Billy Collins, who writes really funny, clever poems in simple everyday English.
Amanda: I'll have to look him up. Say, have you ever written any poetry of your own? Some love sonnets, perhaps?
Mike: No love sonnets, but I did try to write some poems a long time ago. They were all really bad. Once I spent three hours trying to come up with a word that rhymes with "panda"!
Amanda: Silly Mike! How could you not think of "Amanda"?
