3. What lessons can we draw from the poem? ?The wild can also be beautiful. Everyone should take an active attitude toward life. never avoid challenges for fear of losing something. One can’t achieve anything under the shelter and protection. 诗歌翻译中的韵律性移位（metrical permutation） 英语诗歌有时按节奏押韵的规律进行一些词序移位,汉语诗歌也有这种情况,译文有时可以用改变词序(inversion) 技巧来译，不是机械模仿原诗韵律，而是求译诗韵律的感情旋律与原作等值。 现以The wild Honey Suckle一诗的第一节为例： Fair flowers that does comely grow, a Hid in this silent dull retreat, b Untouched thy honied blossoms blow, a Unseen thy little branches great; b No roving foot shall crush thee here, c No busy hand provoke a tear. c 原诗的押尾韵ab ab cc，第一行为了与第三行blow押韵。grow comely 移位成comely grow,为了blow和grow押韵，retreat和great押韵，后置定语移位成前置定语Untouched, Unseen.我们在译这首诗时，也几乎每行都要运用改变词序（inversion）技巧。第一行comely grow 译成：“开得多俊俏。 ”第二行把silent信息移位到句末译成：“躲在绿荫丛中，何等静悄悄！”第三行第四行把Untouched, Unseen 的信息移位到句末，并用转换(inversion) 技巧用反诘句来译并押韵：“……有谁知晓？……有谁看到？”第五行第六行两个否定分句，也 进行否定转移(transferred negation)， 否定词从修饰名词词组移位到修饰动词词组。译成：“……可别把你踩碎。……可别惹你流泪”。押尾韵，全诗译成汉语： 洁白的忍冬花开得多俊俏， 躲在绿荫丛中何等静悄悄！ 忍冬花儿喘着气，有谁知晓？ 纤细枝儿在招手，有谁看到？ 那漫游的脚步啊！可别把你踩碎。 那忙碌的手指啊；可别惹你流泪。 ? Assignment: Read another two poems on p.46 and p.49 * More about his works: Freneau heralded American literary independence. His literary work was a fusion of neoclassicism and romanticism. His patriotic and political poems, even when “full of invective and loaded with spleen” had used the diction, poetic forms, landscapes, mythologies and deistic thought of the 18th century. Yet his poetry also exhibited the lyric qualities: the sensuous images and adulation of nature and primitivism that became the conventions of American romanticism in the next century. He was at his best in his so-called pre-romantic verses an
