墙壁上裂缝中的花朵.docVIP

Flower in the crannied wall By Alfred, Lord Tennyson Flower in the crannied wall, I pluck you out of the crannies, I hold you here, root and all, in my hand, Little flower－but if I could understand What you are, root and all, and all in all, I should know what God and man is. 牆壁上裂縫中的花朵 By Joy Gao 牆壁上裂縫中的花朵， 我把你從裂縫中摘下， 我握著你，握著你的根你的所有在我的掌心， 小花朵－如果我能夠了解你究竟是什麼，了解你的 根和所有，所有的一切一切，我應該能夠了解上帝 和人類究竟是什麼。 To see a world in a grain of sand By William Blake To see a world in a grain of sand And a heaven in a wild flower, Hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour. 一粒沙看世界 By Joy Gao 一粒沙看世界 一朵野花看天堂， 無限握在你手中 永恆就在一小時之中 比較： (1)詩風：Flower in the crannied wall:維多利亞 To see a world in a grain of sand:英國浪漫 (2)技巧：Flower in the crannied wall 並沒有使用metaphors(隱喻)，而在To see a world in a grain of sand 之中用一小粒沙與野花來隱喻世界和天堂 (3)相同處：都是由自然界了解大自然的真理。 Tennyson詩中是從Flower 了解到人類及宇宙。 而在Blake的詩中是從一粒沙子與野花去看世界。 心得：兩首詩都是以渺小的事物來觀察宇宙。 但拿兩首詩來比Tennyson的詩看起來較為冗長。為何Blake的詩感覺起來比較豐富有生命力呢？因為Blake用了隱喻的技巧在每一句，而且每個隱喻都充滿暗示。就像是我們的世界其實就是一粒沙，就像沙子一樣是圓的，是石頭，很大量的沙子組成的世界。 The History Teacher By Billy? Collins Trying to protect his students’ innocence he told them the Ice Age was really just the Chilly Age, a period of a million years when everyone had to wear sweaters. And the Stone Age became the Gravel Age, named after the long driveways of the time. The Spanish Inquisition was nothing more than an outbreak of questions such as ”How far is it from here to Madrid?” ”What do you call the matador’s hat?” The War of the Roses took place in a garden, And the Enola Gay dropped one tiny atom on Japan. The children would leave his classroom for the playground to torment the weak and the smart Mussing up their hair and breaking their glasses, While he gathered up his notes and walked home past flower beds and white picket fences, wondering if they would believe that soldiers in the Boer War told long, rambling stories Designed to make the enemy nod off. 歷史老師 By Maggie Guo 他試著保護學生的純真， 而告訴他們冰河時期只不過是一段寒冷時期， 在那一百年間
