21、ds in sprightly dance.我孤独地漫游,像一朵云在山丘和谷地上飘荡,忽然间我看见一群金色的水仙花迎春开放,在树荫下,在湖水边,迎着微风起舞翩翩。连绵不绝,如繁星灿烂,在银河里闪闪发光,它们沿着湖湾的边缘延伸成无穷无尽的一行;我一眼看见了一万朵,在欢舞之中起伏颠簸。 The waves beside them danced; but theyOut-did the sparkling waves in glee:A poet could not but be gay,In such a jocund company:I gazed-and gazed-but little th

25、 poem, we become aware of the poets deep love toward nature through his lovely and vivid description about natural things with his figurative language. Poem Analysis 我好似一朵流云独自漫游是华兹华斯抒情诗的代表作之一,写于1804年。据说此诗是根据诗人兄妹俩一起外出游玩时深深地被大自然的妩媚所吸引这一经历写成的,体现了诗人关于诗歌应描写“平静中回忆起来的情感”(emotion recollected in tranquility)
26、这一诗学主张。全诗可以分成两大部分:写景和抒情。诗的开篇以第一人称叙述,格调显得低沉忧郁。诗人一方面竭力捕捉回忆的渺茫信息,另一方面又觉得独自飘游,可以自由自在地欣赏大自然所赋予的美景。他把自己比作一朵流云,随意飘荡,富有想象的诗句暗示诗人有一种排遣孤独、向往自由的心情。The Solitary ReaperBEHOLD her, single in the field, 看,一个孤独的高原姑娘,Yon solitary Highland Lass! 在远远的田野间收割,Reaping and singing by herself; 一边割一边独自歌唱,Stop here, or gently
