第一篇:mylifehad stood a loaded GUn 英文赏析(模版)
“My Life had stood” represents the poet's most extreme attempt to characterize the Vesuvius nature of the power or art which she believed was hers.Speaking through the voice of a gun, Dickinson presents herself in this poem as everything “woman” is not: cruel not pleasant, hard not soft, emphatic not weak, one who kills not one who nurtures.just as significant, she is proud of it, so proud that the temptation is to echo Robert Lowell's notorious description of Sylvia Plath, and say that in “My Life had stood,” Emily Dickinson is “hardly a person at all, or a woman, certainly not another 'poetess.’”
Like the persona in Plath's Ariel poems, in “My Life had stood,” Dickinson's speaker has deliberately shed the self-protective layers of conventional femininity, symbolized in the poem by the doe and the deep pillow of the “masochistic” eider duck.In the process the poet uncovers the true self within, in all its hardness and rage, in its desire for revenge and aggressive, even masculine, sexuality(for this is, after all, one interpretation of the gun in the poem).The picture of Dickinson that emerges, like the picture of Plath that emerges from the “big strip tease” of “Lady Lazarus”(CP245)and other Ariel poems, is not an attractive one.But, again like Plath, Dickinson is prepared to embrace it nevertheless--together with all other aspects of her unacceptable self.Indeed, embracing the true or unacceptable self appears to be the poem's raison d’êtres, just as it is the raison d’être of Plath's last poems.In writing “My Life had stood,” Dickinson clearly transgresses limits no woman, indeed no human being, could lightly afford to break.And to judge by the poem's final riddling stanza, a conundrum that critics have yet to solve satisfactorily, she knew this better than anyone.As Adrienne Rich has observed, Dickinson's underlying ambivalence toward the powers her speaker claims to exercise through her art(the powers to “hunt,” “speak, ” “smile,” “guard,” and “kill”)appears to be extreme.Of this ambivalence and its effect on women poets, Rich has written most poignantly, perhaps, because of her own position as poet.For Rich there is no easy way to resolve the conflict entangling Dickinson in the poem.“If there is a female consciousness in this poem,” she writes, it is buried deeper than the images: it exists in the ambivalence toward power, which is extreme.Active willing and creation in women are forms of aggression, and aggression is both “the power to kill” and punishable by death.The union of gun with hunter embodies the danger of identifying and taking hold of her forces, not least that in so doing she risks defining herself--and being defined--as aggressive, as unwomanly(“and now We hunt the Doe”), and as potentially lethal.Yet despite these dangers and despite her recognition of the apparent dehumanization her persona courts, in “My Life had stood” Emily Dickinson does take precisely the risks that Rich describes.In the poem's terms, she is murderous.She is a gun.Her rage is part of her being.Indeed, insofar as it permits her to explode and hence to speak, rage defines her, unwomanly and inhuman though it is.Whatever constraints existed in her daily life(the breathless and excessive femininity so well described by her preceptor, Thomas Wentworth Higginson), inwardly it would seem Emily Dickinson was not to be denied.In her art she was master of herself, whatever that self was, however aggressive, unwomanly, or even inhuman society might judge it to be.Given Dickinson's time and upbringing, it would, of course, have been unlikely that she, any more than we today, would have been comfortable with the high degree of anger and alienation which she exhibits in this extraordinary poem.But the anger and the alienation are there and, whether we are comfortable or not, like Dickinson we must deal with them.If, as Adrienne Rich asserts, “My Life had stood--a Loaded Gun” is a “central poem in understanding Emily Dickinson, and ourselves, and the condition of the woman artist, particularly in the nineteenth century,” it is so precisely because Dickinson was prepared to grapple in it with so many unacceptable feelings within herself.Whatever else “My Life had stood” may be about, it is about the woman as artist, the woman who must deny her femininity, even perhaps her humanity, if she is to achieve the fullness of her self and the fullness of her power in her verse.This poem is quite violent when compared to the other two, which makes sense as the narrator is a gun.Here she is remorselessly killing deer and is proud of how deadly she is.She “speaks for him” and the mountains echo with the sound of her gunshot.This is a far cry from a child playing with angels and a woman going on a date with Death.The narrator in the poem has been described as a remorseless sexual and “satanic” perversion and a play on the relationship between sex and violence.(Larson 19)She has been described as everything from a representation of a woman full of pent up aggression finally finding freedom in the form of violence to Dickinson doing, well, this: [Dickinson doing] something quite subversive in situating a domineering sado-masochistic woman self as the center of the metaphorical relationship between gun and male hunter.The underlying implication is that there is no democracy in this world, no benign relationship without hierarchy and without the risk of being exploited.(Larsen)But for a moment, disregard the interpretations of the deeper meaning held within the poem.Read the poem again as a story.Suddenly our main character isn't just an allegory for a young woman full of pent up aggression, or some sexual metaphor for sado-masochism, she's a sentient gun.She’s a sentient gun who has been found and now belongs to a hunter.The joy she feels(exemplified in “our good day done” and her smiling)that to some may indicate sexual perversity in the poet now is simply the natural joy that comes when someone does what they were created to do;she is a gun, she was made to kill, and now that she is shooting again, she finally feels complete.Like the other poems, this is a snippet of a much longer, untold, and unexplained narrative.Where did the gun come from? Why is it sentient? Furthermore, does the hunter know she is sentient? This is the first poem wherein the story is being told by the supernatural element itself.What is the rest of the story? Well, we won't know, because this poem is the only glimpse of that story we'll have.And that is another aspect of magic realism.Fantastic, unexplained elements presented in an ordinary way in an ordinary setting are by nature only a fragment of the complete narrative as we never see their beginnings, and Emily Dickinson was very good at providing us these glimpses.She was a magic realist before magic realism was extant
第二篇:呼啸山庄英文赏析
Wuthering Heights which has long been one of the most popular and highly regarded novels in English literature, it has a secure position in the canon of world literature.As a shattering presentation of the doomed love between the passionate Catherine and Heathcliff, it remains one of the most haunting love stories in all of literature.In Wuthering Heights, Nature is represented by the Earnshaw family and especially Catherine and Heathcliff.These characters are governed by their emotions, not by reflection or ideals of civility.Wuthering Heights symbolized a similar wildness.On the other hand, Thrushcross Grange and the Linton family represent culture, refinement, convention, and cultivation.Wuthering heights, through a love tragedy, presented a picture of deformity of the social life and Outlines a kind of humanity twisted by society and all kinds of terrible events.The story ended with Heathcliff’s suicide.He died for love and his death shows his love to Katherine.He gave up the revenge to the younger generation after he knew that young Catherine and Harleton had fallen in love with each other shows that he was kind in nature.It was the cruel reality that twisted his humanity and made him become brutal and heartless.This kind of recovery of humanity was sublimation in spirit and it glared a kind of humanitarian ideal of the author and endows the terrible love tragedy some hope.Therefore, Heathcliff’s change of “love---hate---revenge---a recovery of humanity” is not only the essence of the novel but also a clue throughout the whole novel.According to the clue, the author arranged an unpredictable scene for us.Sometimes it was the moor full of clouds, sometimes it was courtyard with a sudden rain and wind.The story has always been shrouded in a kind of mysterious and horrible atmosphere.The novel is actually structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel told about the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the rest dramatic second half told developing love between young Catherine and Harleton.In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily, restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange.The most important feature of young Catherine and Harleton’s love story is that it involves growth and change.Early in the novel Harleton seems brutal, savage, and illiterate, but over time he becomes a loyal friend to young Catherine and learns to read.Catherine and Heathcliff’s love, on the other hand, is rooted in their childhood and is marked by the refusal to change.In choosing to marry Edgar, Catherine seeks a more genteel life, but she refuses to adapt to her role as wife, either by sacrificing Heathcliff or embracing Edgar.Catherine and Heathcliff’s love is based on their shared perception that they are identical.As Catherine declares, “I am Heathcliff,” while Heathcliff, upon Catherine’s death, said that he cannot live without his “soul,” meaning Catherine.Catherine’s betrayal and her bitter destiny was the turning point of the whole story.It made Heathcliff change his love to hate.After Catherine died, the hate became the motivation of his revenge.He successfully attained his objective.Not only he let Edgar and the Linton died in desolation and possessed their property but also let their innocent younger generation experience the hardships.This kind of crazy revenge clearly showed his uncommon and rebellious behavior.This special spirit of revolt was formed by the special environment and his special character.Heathcliff’s love tragedy was a tragedy of the society and that time.Wuthering Heights was known as “most strange novel” in the history of English literature and it was an unpredictable “strange book”.The reason is that it was different from the sentimentalism that lies in the works of the same age.It replaced the deep sadness and depression with intense love, brutal hate and ruthless revenge.It just like a strange lyric poem, imagination and intensive emotion existed among the words and between the lines and it had a kind of amazing artistic power.
第三篇:英文诗歌赏析
英语诗歌赏析方法
英诗的欣赏:诗的格律、诗的押韵、诗的体式、诗的评判。
诗以高度凝结的语言表达着人们的喜怒哀乐,用其特有的节奏与方式影响着人们的精神世界。诗讲究联想,运用象征、比喻、拟人等各种修辞手法,形成了独特的语言艺术。
一、诗的格律
“格律是指可以用脚打拍子的节奏”,是每个音步轻重音节排列的格式,也是朗读时轻重音的依据。而音步是由重读音节和非重读音节构成的诗的分析单位。重读音节为扬(重),在音节上用“-”或“?”标示,非重读音节为抑(轻),在音节上用“?”标示,音步之间可用“/”隔开。以下是五种常见格式:
1.抑扬格(轻重格)Iambus:是最常见的一种格式,每个音步由一个非重读音节加一个重读音节构成。
As fair / art thou / my bon/nie lass,So deep / in luve / am I :
And I / will luve / thee still,/ my dear,Till a` / the seas / gang dry:
Robert Burns(1759-1796): My Luve Is like a Red,Red Rose
注;art=are luve=love bonnie=beautiful a`=all gang=go
上例中为四音步与三音步交叉,可标示为:?-/?-/?-/(?-)
2.扬抑格(重轻格)Trochee:每个音步由一个重读音节加一个非重读音节构成。
下例中为四音步扬抑格(少一个轻音节),可标示为:-?/-?/-?/-
Tyger!/ Tyger!/ burning / bright In the / forests / of the / night William Blake: The Tyger 3.抑抑扬格(轻轻重格)Anapaestic foot: 每个音步由两个非重读音节加一个重读音节构成。如:三音步抑抑扬格??-/??-/??-
Like a child / from the womb,Like a ghost / from the tomb,I arise / and unbuild / it again.4.扬抑抑格(重轻轻格)Dactylic foot: 每个音步由一个重读音节加两个非重读音节构成。如:两音步扬抑抑格-??/-??
?Touch her not / ?scornfully,?Think of her / ?mournfully.-Thomas Hood
5.抑扬抑格(轻重轻格)Amphibrach:每个音步由一个非重读音节加一个重读音节再加一个非重读音节构成。如:三音步抑扬抑格?-?/?-?/?-?下例中最后一个音步为抑扬格。
O ?hush thee / my ?babie / thy ?sire was / a knight.在同一首诗中常会出现不同的格律,格律解析对朗读诗歌有一定参考价值。现代诗中常不遵守规范的格律。
二、诗的押韵
押韵是指通过重复元音或辅音以达到一定音韵效果的诗歌写作手法。
1.尾韵:最常见,最重要的押韵方式。
1)联韵:aabb型。
I shot an arrow into the air,It fell to earth,I knew not where;
For,so swiftly it flew,the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: The Arrow and the Song
2)交叉韵:abab型。
Sunset and evening star,And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,When I put out to sea,Alfred Tennyson(1809-1892): Crossing the Bar
3)同韵:有的诗押韵,一韵到底,大多是在同一节诗中共用一个韵脚。
如下例就共用/i:p/为韵脚。
The woods are lovely,dark and deep,But I have promises to keep,And miles to go before I sleep,And miles to go before I sleep.Robert Frost(1874-1963): Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
2.头韵:是指一行(节)诗中几个词开头的辅音相同,形成押韵。下例中运用/f/、/b/与/s/头韵生动写出了船在海上轻快航行的景象。
The fair breeze blew,the white foam flew,The furrow followed free,We were the first that ever burst Into that silent sea.T.S.Coleridge: Rime of the Acient Mariner 3.内韵(同元音):指词与词之间原因的重复形成的内部押韵。
下面一节诗中/i/及/iη/重复照应,呈现出一派欢乐祥和的气氛。
Spring,the sweet spring,is the year„s pleasant king;
Then blooms each thing,then maids dance in a ring,Cold dath not sting,the pretty birds do sing:
Cuckoo,jug-jug,pu-we,to-witta-woo!
Thomas Nashe(1567-1601): Spring,the Sweet Spring
三、诗的体式
有的诗分成几节(stanza),每节由若干诗行组成(每行诗均以大写字母开头);有的诗则不分节。目前我们常见的诗体有:
1.十四行诗(Sonnet),源于中世纪民间抒情短诗,十三、十四世纪流行于意大利,意大利彼特拉克(Petrarch)为代表人物,每行十一个音节,全诗一节八行,加一节六行,韵脚用abba,abba,cdcdcd(cdecde)。前八行提问,后六行回答。
后来,怀亚特(ThomasWyatt,1503-1542)将十四行诗引人英国,五音步抑扬格,全诗三个四行一个二行,前三节提问,后二句结论。斯宾塞(EdmundSpenser,1552-1599)用韵脚 abab,bcbc,cdcd,ee.莎士比亚(WilliamShakespeare,1564-1616)用韵脚abab,cdcd,dfdf,gg,称英国式或莎士比亚式。举例见本文第四部分。
2.打油诗(Limericks):通常是小笑话甚至是胡诌,一般没有标题也无作者姓名,含有幽默讽刺性,常运用双关,内韵等手法。每首诗五个诗行,押韵为aabba,格律以抑扬格和抑抑扬格为主。
1)There was a young lady of Nigger
Who smiled as she rode on a tiger;
They returned from the ride
With the lady inside,And the smile on the face of the tiger.2)A tutor who taught on the flute
Tried to teach two tooters to toot,“Is it harder to toot,or
Said the two to the tutor,To tutor two tooters to toot?“
3.无韵体(Blank Verse):五音步抑扬格,不押韵诗体。
Across the watery bale,and shout again,Responsive to his call,and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft,when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
Ans then my heart with pleasure fills,And dances with the daffodils.Notes: a crowd,a host of: many sprightly:happy glee:joy
jocund:happy bliss:complete happiness pensive:sadly thoughtful
华兹华斯(WilliamWordsworth,1770-1850),十九世纪初英格兰北部湖区三大“湖畔派诗人”(浪漫主义)之一。此诗向我们描绘了一幅美好的自然景象,同时抒发作者对自然美景的喜欢。黄水仙据说是威尔士国花(1282年,威尔士归顺英格兰,被封公国),在英国广泛栽种,春季开花,花期不长。有许多关于黄水仙的诗歌,这首诗无疑是脱颖而出的。
全诗语言精炼,通俗易懂,四音步抑扬格,分四节(stanza),每节6行,每节押韵均为ababcc.第一节写诗人孤寂时外出散步,偶遇水仙;第二节写水仙争相开放,千姿百态;第三节,诗人看到这景象感到欣喜异常;第四节写诗人在日后忧郁时,回想当时情景,又让他心中充满了欢乐,随着水仙跳起舞来。
3.Song of Myself
I celebrate myself,and sing myself,And what I assume you shall assume,For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.I loafe and invite my soul,I learn and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.My tongue,every atom of my blood,form„d from this soil,this air,Born ere of parents born here from parents the same,and their parents the same,I,now thirty seven years old in perfect health begin,Hoping to cease not till death.Creeds and schools in abeyance,Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are,but never forgotten.I harbor for good or bad,I permit to speak at every hazard.Nature without check with original energy.Notes: a spear of: a piece of school:学说,流派 hazard:chance
abeyance: the condition of not being in use for a certain time
惠特曼(Walt Whitman,1819-1892),美国诗人。此诗选自其巨著。本文是Song of Myself 一诗的第一部分,采用自由诗体,语言接近当时的美国口语。
文中I指作者,you指读者,这种写法使读者身临其境,进入作者描写的世界。作者在文中表明人的价值是平等的,同时他把自己融入到自然带给他的启发思考中。
从上看出,诗歌的欣赏评判并非可望而不可及,关键要抓住诗中的意象,了解其语义,以便把握诗的大意。纵然每个人的读后感会有不同,但每个人都会在阅读过程中感受到诗歌带来的美和精神上的共鸣。

《狮子王》观后感
这部电影成为了历史的经典,取得巨大的成功,感动了无数的观众,深深的刻在我们心灵深处,这无疑使2D电影的伟大著作。
传统的迪斯尼风格我们可以发现,木法沙的伟大,他的特点是方形的下巴,松散的红色头发以及饱满的身躯,在动作设计上也体现出王者风范,与之相对应的刀疤虽然都是狮子在外表上还是有很大的区别,瘦削的身体造型,黑色的头发等有着不同的表现,在动做上也和刀疤的性格相符。
在音乐方面上也是非常成功的,音乐的节奏和画面配合的很好,音乐在着部影片中是一个不缺少的一部分,跟着音乐画面不断的变化,渲染气氛,带领着观众畅游。
故事开始以很动听的音乐开场,描述了辛巴的诞生,王国的强盛,动物们欢快生活的盛世情形。中途叙述了年少的辛巴被刀疤算计,到无奈的背井离乡。然而他的叔叔刀疤并不是一个好国王。于是他决定回去,当一切都真相大白,愤怒的辛巴看到自己的杀父仇人就是自己的叔叔,忍无可忍在决斗中把刀疤蹄下了山,最后刀疤被豺狗吃掉。战后完的一场雨预示着被刀疤所统治的黑暗时期已经过去了狮子王国即将迎来他的黎明,就这样狮子王国又恢复了往日的生机勃勃。故事情节非常有戏剧性,虽然与莎士比亚的代表作之一的《哈姆莱特》的剧情有点像,但却有有过之而无不及的感觉,因为它是以喜剧收尾的,让人看到了希望,感到了幸福,在现实中给了不少人鼓励。
