Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms
面朝大海，春暖花开
Facing the Sea with Spring Blossoms
Hai ZiFrom tomorrow on，I will be a happy man；Grooming，chopping，and traveling all over the world.From tomorrow on，I will care foodstuff and vegetable，Living in a house towards the sea，with spring blossoms.From tomorrow on，write to each of my dear ones，Telling them of my happiness，What the lightening of happiness has told me，I will spread it to each of them.Give a warm name for every river and every mountain，Strangers，I will also wish you happy.May you have a brilliant future!May you lovers eventually become spouses!May you enjoy happiness in this earthly world!I only wish to face the sea，with spring blossoms.面朝大海，春暖花开海子从明天起，做一个幸福的人喂马，劈柴，周游世界从明天起，关心柴米油盐我有一所房子，面朝大海，春暖花开。从明天起，和每一个亲人通信告诉他们我的幸福那幸福的闪电告诉我的我将告诉每一个人。给每一条河每一座山取一个温暖的名字陌生人，我也为你祝福愿你有一个灿烂的前程愿有情人终成眷属愿你在尘世获得幸福我只愿面朝大海，春暖花开。实战提升 practising & exercise背景知识海子(1964-1989)，原名查海生，1964年5月出生在安徽省安庆城外的高河查湾。1979年15岁时考入北京大学法律系，1982年开始诗歌创作，1983年毕业后任教于中国政法大学。1989年3月26日，他在河北省山海关卧轨自杀。先后出版的诗集有《河流》、《传说》、《但是水、水》，另有长诗《土地》和仪式诗剧三部曲之一《弑》。
这首诗的开始时对“幸福”的渴望，以及“幸福”的所指，在诗中被不断地延宕和消解。生存和经验的封闭、局限状态，会助长现实虚空感；或者诗人只能将自己的存在悬系于形而上的层面上，和对于“幸福”的想象感受比较起来，诗人更多地感到来自内心追问和内心矛盾困惑的痛苦。思考的孤独感和焦虑感更为沉重实在，构成了海子诗歌的精神核心。单词注解名句诵读

Sonnet 18
William ShakespeareShall I compare thee to a summer’s day?Thou art more lovely and more temperate：Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May，And summer’s lease hath all too short a date：Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shinesAnd often is his gold complexion dimmed；And every fair from fair sometimes declines，By chance or nature’s changing course untrimmed：But thy eternal summer shall not fade，Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st.Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade，When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st，So long as men can breathe，or eyes can see，So long lives this，and this gives life to thee.第18号十四行诗
威廉·莎士比亚我怎么能把你比作夏天呢？你比它可爱也比它温婉：狂风把五月的花蕾摇撼，夏天的足迹匆匆而去：天上的眼睛有时照得太炽烈，它那炳耀的金颜又常遭掩蔽：被机缘或无常的天道所摧折，没有芳艳不凋残或不销毁。但是你的长夏永远不会凋歇，你的美艳亦不会遭到损失，死神也力所不及，当你在不朽的诗里与时同长。只要一天有人类，或人有眼睛，这诗将长存，并赐予你生命。实战提升 practising & exercise背景知识威廉·莎士比亚(William Shakespeare)，英国文艺复兴时期伟大的剧作家、诗人，欧洲文艺复兴时期人文主义文学的集大成者。他写过154首十四行诗，三或四首长诗。他是“英国戏剧之父”，本·琼斯称他为“时代的灵魂”，马克思称他为“人类最伟大的天才之一”，公认为“人类文学奥林匹斯山上的宙斯”。
这是莎士比亚154首十四行诗中的第18首。诗人将自己的心上人比作夏日的一天，又指出夏天其实没有那么完美，夏天不光短暂，还有狂风、骄阳和阴暗；诗人接着说任何美丽都会时过境迁，而只要这些诗篇流传，她就永远活在人们心间。单词注解名句诵读
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate：
But thy eternal summer shall not fade，Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st.
So long as men can breathe，or eyes can see，So long lives this，and this gives life to thee.
Sand Dunes
Robert FrostSea waves are green and wet，But up from where they die，Rise others vaster yet，And those are brown and dry.They are the sea made landTo come at the fisher town，And bury in solid sandThe men she could not drown.She may know cove and cape，But she does not know mankindIf by any change of shape，She hopes to cut off mind.Men left her a ship to sink：They can leave her a hut as well；And be but more free to thinkFor the one more cast-off shell.沙丘
罗伯特·弗洛斯特海浪是绿色而潮湿的，但从它们平息的处所，依然卷着更大的浪涛，而且是褐色的干燥的。那是变成沙丘的海洋，涌进渔夫栖息的村镇，想用坚硬的沙子掩埋，海水不能淹死的人们。海或许了解海湾与海角，却永远无法了解人类，若她以为改变了形状，就可以剪断人的思想。人们留给了她一条船，使其沉没：同样也能淹没一座小屋；她们会更加自由地想着，再一次抛弃那无用的外壳。实战提升 practising & exercise背景知识罗伯特·弗洛斯特(Robert Frost)，20世纪美国最杰出的诗人，作品以朴素、深邃著称。他拥有四个普利策诗歌奖、44种名誉学位和种种荣誉。他徒步漫游过许多地方，被认为是“新英格兰的农民诗人”。
在这首看似简单的诗歌里，诗人通过人和大海关系的思考来映射生与死，身体与思想之间的关系。单词注解名句诵读

Ode to the West Wind
Percy Bysshe ShelleyⅠO wild West Wind，thou breath of Autumn’s being，Thou，from whose unseen presence the leaves deadAre driven，like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing.Yellow，and black，and pale，and hectic red，Pestilence-stricken multitudes：O thou，Who chariotest to their dark wintry bedThe winged seeds，where they lie cold and low，Each like a corpse within its grave，untilThine azure sister of the Spring shall blowHer clarion o’er the dreaming earth，and fill(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)With living hues and odors plain and hill；Wild Spirit，which art moving everywhere；Destroyer and preserver；hear，O hear!ⅡThou on whose stream，’mid the steep sky’s commotion，Loose clouds like earth’s decaying leaves are shed，Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean，Angels of rain and lightning：there are spreadOn the blue surface of thine aery surge，Like the bright hair uplifted from the headOf some fierce Maenad，even from the dim vergeOf the horizon to the zenith’s height，The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirgeOf the dying year，to which this closing nightWill be the dome of a vast sepulchre，Vaulted with all thy congregated mightOf vapours，from whose solid atmosphereBlack rain，and fire，and hail will burst：O hear!ⅢThou who didst waken from his summer dreamsThe blue Mediterranean，where he lay，Lulled by the coil of his crystalline streams，Beside a pumice isle in Baiae’s bay，And saw in sleep old palaces and towersQuivering within the wave’s intenser day，All overgrown with azure moss and flowersSo sweet，the sense faints picturing them!ThouFor whose path the Atlantic’s level powersCleave themselves into chasms，while far belowThe sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wearThe sapless foliage of the ocean，knowThy voice，and suddenly grow gray with fear，And tremble and despoil themselves：O hear!ⅣIf I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear；If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee；A wave to pant beneath thy power，and shareThe impulse of thy strength，only less freeThan thou，O uncontrollable! If evenI were as in my boyhood，and could beThe comrade of thy wanderings over Heaven，As then，when to outstrip thy skiey speedScarce seemed a vision；I would ne’er have strivenAs thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.O，lift me as a wave，a leaf，a cloud!I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!A heavy weight of hours has chained and bowedOne too like thee：tameless，and swift，and proud.VMake me thy lyre，even as the forest is：What if my leaves are falling like its own!The tumult of thy mighty harmoniesWill take from both a deep，autumnal tone，Sweet though in sadness. Be thou，Spirit fierce，My spirit! Be thou me，impetuous one!Drive my dead thoughts over the universeLike withered leaves to quicken a new birth!And，by the incantation of this verse，Scatter，as from an unextinguished hearthAshes and sparks，my words among mankind!Be through my lips to unawakened earthThe trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind，If Winter comes，can Spring be far behind?西风颂

这首诗可以说是诗人“骄傲、轻捷而不驯的灵魂”的自白，是时代精神的写照。诗人凭借自己的诗才，借助自然的精灵让自己的生命与鼓荡的西风相呼相应，以饱含激情的笔触抒写了“秋的呼吸——奔放的西风”，创造了既是破坏者又是保护者的西风形象。感情真挚磅礴，格调高昂激越，用气势恢宏的篇章唱出了生命的旋律和心灵的狂舞。单词注解名句诵读

Paradise Lost
John MiltonNine times the space that measures day and nightTo mortal men，he with his horrid crewLay vanquished，rolling in the fiery gulfConfounded though immortal. But his doomReserved him to more wrath；for now the thoughtBoth of lost happiness and lasting painTorments him；round he throws his baleful eyes，That witnessed huge affliction and dismay，Mixed with obdurate pride and steadfast hate.At once，as far as angels ken，he viewsThe dismal situation waste and wild.A dungeon horrible，on all sides roundAs one great furnace flamed；yet from those flamesNo light，but rather darkness visibleServed only to discover sights of woe，Regions of sorrow，doleful shades，where peaceAnd rest can never dwell，hope never comesThat comes to all，but torture without endStill urges，and a fiery deluge，fedWith ever-burning sulphur unconsumed：Such place Eternal Justice had preparedFor those rebellious；here their prison ordainedIn utter darkness and their portion setAs far removed from God and light of HeavenAs from the centre thrice to th’utmost pole.O how unlike the place from whence they fell!There the companions of his fall，o’erwhelmedWith floods and whirlwinds of tempestuous fire，He soon discerns；and，weltering by his side，One next himself in power，and next in crime，Long after known in Palestine，and namedBeelzebub. To whom th’arch-enemy，And thence in Heaven called Satan，with bold wordsBreaking the horrid silence thus began：“If thou beest he but O how fallen! how changedFrom him who in the happy realms of lightClothed with transcendent brightness didst outshineMyriads，though bright! if he whom mutual league，United thoughts and counsels，equal hopeAnd hazard in the glorious enterprise，Joined with me once，now misery hath joinedIn equal ruin；into what pit thou seestFrom what height fallen，so much the stronger provedHe with his thunder：and till then who knewThe force of those dire arms? Yet not for those，Nor what the potent Victor in his rageCan else inflict，do I repent or change，Though changed in outward luster，that fixed mindAnd high disdain，from sense of injured merit，That with the Mightiest raised me to contend，And to the fierce contention brought alongInnumerable force of spirits armed，That durst dislike his reign，and me preferring，His utmost power with adverse power opposedIn dubious battle on the plains of Heaven，And shook his throne. What though tile field be lost?All is not lost： the unconquerable will，And study of revenge，immortal hate，And courage never to submit or yield：And what is else not to be overcome?That glory never shall his wrath or mightExtort from me. To bow and sue for graceWith suppliant knee，and deify his powerWho from the terror of this arm so lateDoubted his empire that were low indeed；That were an ignominy and shame beneathThis downfall；since by fate the strength of godsAnd this empyreal substance cannot fail；Since，through experience of this great event，In arms not worse，in foresight much advanced，We may with more successful hope resolveTo wage by force or guile eternal war，Irreconcilable to our grand Foe，Who now triumphs，and in th’ excess of joySole reigning holds the tyranny of Heaven.”So spake th’ apostate angel，though in pain，Vaunting aloud，but racked with deep despair.失乐园节选
约翰·弥尔顿根据人间的计算，大约九天九夜，他和他那一伙可怕的徒众，沉沦辗转在烈火的深渊中。虽属不死之身，却与死者无异；但这个刑罚反激起他更大的愤怒，既失去了幸福，又饱受无穷痛苦的折磨。当他抬起忧虑的双眼，环视周遭，摆在眼前的是莫大的隐忧和烦恼，交织着顽固的傲气和难消的憎恨。霎时间，他竭尽天使的目力，望断际涯，但见悲风弥漫，浩渺无垠，可怕的地牢从四面八方圈着他，像一个洪炉的烈火四射，但那火焰却不发光，只是灰蒙蒙的一片，但能辨认出那儿的苦难情景，悲惨的境地和凄怆的暗影。和平和安息绝不在那儿停留，希望无所不到，唯独不到那里。只有无穷无尽的苦难步步相跟永燃的硫璜不断地添注，不灭的火焰，洪水般向他们滚滚逼来。这个地方，就是正义之神为那些叛逆者准备的，在天外的冥荒中为他们设置的牢狱，那个地方远离天神和天界的亮光，相当于天极到中心的三倍那么远。啊，这里和他所从坠落的地方简直有天壤之别呀！和他一起坠落的伙伴们淹没在烈火的洪流和旋风之中，他依稀可辨，在他近旁挣扎的，论权力和罪行都仅次于他的神魔，后来在巴勒斯坦知道他的名字叫别西卜。这个在天上叫做撒旦的首要神敌以豪壮的言语打破可怕的沉寂，开始向他的伙伴这样说道：“是你啊；这是何等的坠落！何等的变化呀！你原来住在光明的乐土，全身披覆着无比的光辉，胜过群星的灿烂：你曾和我结成同盟，同心敌忾，搏击于光荣的大事业中现在，我们是从高高在上的天界沉沦到了不可测的深渊呀！他握有雷霆，确是强大，谁知道这凶恶的武器竟有那么大的威力呢？可是，那威力，那强有力的胜利者的狂暴，都不能叫我沮丧，或者叫我改变初衷，虽然外表的光环消失了，但坚定的心志和岸然的骄矜决不转变；由于真价的受损，激动了我，决心和强权决一胜负，率领无数天军投入剧烈的战斗，他们都厌恶天神的统治而来拥护我，拿出全部力量跟至高的权力对抗，在天界疆上做一次冒险的战斗，动摇了他的宝座。我们损失了什么？并非一无所剩：坚定的意志、热切的复仇心、不来的憎恨，以及永不屈服、永不退让的勇气，还有什么比这些更难战胜的吗？他的暴怒也罢，威力也罢，绝不能夺去我这份光荣。经过这一次惨烈的战争，好容易才使他的政权动摇；这时还要卑躬屈膝，向他哀求怜悯，拜倒在他的权力之下，那才真正是卑鄙、可耻，比这次的沉沦还要卑贱。因为我们具有与生俱来的神力，赋有轻清的灵质，不能朽坏，又因这次大事件的教训，我们要准备更好的武器，更远的预见，更有成功的希望，以暴力或智力向我们的大敌挑起不可调解的持久战争。他现在正沉湎于成功，得意忘形，独揽大权，在天上掌握虐政呢。”背叛的天使忍痛说出豪言壮语心却为深沉的失望所苦。……实战提升 practising & exercise背景知识约翰·弥尔顿(John Milton)，生于伦敦一个富裕的清教徒家庭，在剑桥大学求学时和毕业后一个时期，钻研古代和文艺复兴时期文学，深受人文主义思想熏陶。1638年他旅行意大利，访问过被天主教会关在狱里的伽利略，并和意大利的文人学者交往。1639年，英国革命形势紧张，他回国参加反对国王和国教的斗争。他因积劳过度，双目失明，但仍坚持斗争。王朝复辟后，他受到迫害，著作被焚毁，生活极其贫困。就在这个时期，他完成了三部杰作：《失乐园》、《复乐园》和《力士参孙》。《失乐园》以史诗一般的磅礴气势揭示了人的原罪与堕落。诗中叛逆之神撒旦，因为反抗上帝的权威被打入地狱，却毫不屈服，为复仇寻至伊甸园。亚当与夏娃受被撒旦附身的蛇的引诱，偷吃了上帝明令禁吃的知识树上的果子。最终，撒旦及其同伙遭谴全变成了蛇，亚当与夏娃被逐出了伊甸园。该诗体现了诗人追求自由的崇高精神，是世界文学史、思想史上的一部极重要的作品！单词注解名句诵读

The Chimney Sweeper
William BlakeWhen my mother died I was very young，And my father sold me while yet my tongueCould scarcely cry “‘weep! weep! weep! weep!”So your chimney I sweep，&in soot I sleep.There’s little Tom Dacre who cried when his headThat curl’d like a lamb’s back，was shav’d，so I said，“Hush，Tom! never mind it，for when our head’s bare，You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.”And so he was quiet，&that very night，As Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight!That thousands of sweepers，Dick，Joe，Ned，& Jack，Were all of them lock’d up in coffins of black；And by came an angel who had a bright key，And he open’d the coffins & set them all free；Then down a green plain，leaping，laughing they runAnd wash in a river，and shine in the sun；Then naked& white，all their bags left behind，They rise upon clouds，and sport in the wind，And the angel told Tom，if he’d be a good boy，He’d have God for his father，and never want joy.And so Tom awoke；and we rose in the dark，And got with our bags & our brushes to work.Tho’ the morning was cold，Tom was happy & warm；So if all do their duty，they need not fear harm.扫烟囱的小男孩
威廉·布莱克我母亲死的时候，我还小，我父亲把我卖给了别人，我当时还不太喊得清“扫呀，扫呀，”就这样白天扫你们的烟囱，晚上在烟灰里睡觉。有个小汤姆，头发卷得像羊毛，剃光的时候，哭得好伤心，好难受，我就说：“小汤姆，别哭，光了头，烟灰就不会糟蹋你的头发了。”他平静了下来，当天夜里，汤姆睡着了，梦见了这样的景象，迪克，乔，南德，杰克等千千万万个扫烟囱小孩统统被锁进了黑棺材。后来来了个天使，拿了把金钥匙，他打开棺材放出了孩子们(真是好天使！)他们又跳又笑地来到了草地上，洗浴于河水，晾晒于阳光。把工具袋丢下，赤条条的，白白的，他们升到云端，在风中嬉戏；“只要你做个好孩子，”天使对汤姆说，“上帝会做你的父亲，永不缺少欢喜。”汤姆于是梦醒，我们在黑暗中起床，拿起工具袋和刷子去干活。晨风虽冷，汤姆自感心欢温暖；如果所有人都恪尽职守，就不怕灾难。实战提升 practising & exercise背景知识威廉·布莱克(William Blake)，18世纪末19世纪初英国著名的画家，英国文学史上最复杂、最有个性的诗人之一。布莱克的早期诗歌以颂扬爱情、向往欢乐与和谐为主题。他的诗歌语言质朴，形象鲜明，富有音乐感，充满瑰丽的想象和奔放的激情。后期诗作明显具有神秘主义倾向和宗教色彩，用象征的手法来表达深邃的思想。布莱克生活清贫，靠绘画和雕刻为生，他那富有个人灵念与想象力的恢弘诗篇生前并没有得到承认。英国文学界直到19世纪末才开始意识到他们原来忽略的的不仅仅是一位颇有造诣的版画家，而且还是一位诗哲。
在很多年以前，男孩们经常去扫烟囱。他们得爬到烟囱里面，刮干净煤烟，然后把它们扫走，这可是一项艰苦的工作，而且对身体非常有害。这首诗选自《天真之歌》，进一步表明“天真”是超越官能的感官束缚的关键，这样就赋予天真以深刻的内涵。单词注解名句诵读
