于分节和押韵方式的不同。意大利十四行诗分为两段，先八后六。前八句韵牌是

a-b-b-a，a-b-b-a。后六句有两种，c-d-e-c-d-e，或者c-d-c-c-d-c。而英国类分为3段四

句加最后两句，韵牌是a-b-a-b, c-d-c-d, e-f-e-f, g-g ，或者a-b-a-b, b-c-b-c, c-d-c-d, e-e。

意大利十四行诗的规则由Guittone d'Arezzo （1235年- 1294年）所建，他自己写了将近

300首。最著名的早期十四行诗人是Francesco Petrarca （1304年- 1374年）。别的意

大利诗人也写了一些十四行诗，女口Dante Alighieri （1265年-1321年）和Guido

Cavalcanti （~1250 年- 1300 年）。

5?莎士比亚的十四行诗

75

So are you to my thoughts as food to life,

你之于我思，犹食之于命，

Or as sweet-seas on'd showers are to the ground;

或有如大地亟盼之甘霖；

叮叮小文库And for the peace of you I hold such strife

我忐忑不安，为求你安宁，

As 'twixt a miser and his wealth is found.

财迷与财富-怎生搞定！

Now proud as an enjoyer, and anon

自视享有者-适才还骄傲，

Doubting the filching age will steal his treasure;

旋恐年华悄逝-如失财宝；

Now counting best to be with you alone,

刚认为与你独处乃最好，

Then better'd that the world may see my pleasure:

忽又觉招摇过市或更妙。

Sometime all full with feasti ng on your sight,

从前曾瞩视你，秀色饱餐，

And by and by clea n starved for a look;

渐渐又饿极了，瞄上一眼；

Possess ing or purs uing no delight,

占有与追求皆意趣索然，

Save what is had, or must from you be took.

除非你已赐或该施恩典。

Thus do I pine and surfeit day by day,

如此，我沉湎，且日渐憔悴，

Or glutt oning on all, or all away.

或暴食狂饮，或百无一味。

18

Shall I compare thee to a summer ' s day?

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

Rough winds do shake the darl ing buds of May, And summer ' s lease hath all too short a date: Sometime too hot the eye of heave n shin es,

And often is his gold complexio n dimm ' d;

And every fair from fair sometime decli nes,

chanee or nature ' s changing course untrimm ' d

But thy eter nal summer shall not fade

Nor lose possessi on of that fair thou owest;

Nor shall Death brag thou wander ' st in his shade,

When in eternal lines to time thou growest:

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

(完整word版)吴伟仁--英国文学史及选读--名词解释

①Beowulf: The national heroic epic of the English people. It has over 3,000 lines. It describes the battles between the two monsters and Beowulf, who won the battle finally and dead for the fatal wound. The poem ends with the funeral of the hero. The most striking feature in its poetical form is the use if alliteration. Other features of it are the use of metaphors(暗喻) and of understatements(含蓄). ②Alliteration: In alliterative verse, certain accented(重音) words in a line begin with the same consonant sound(辅音). There are generally 4accents in a line, 3 of which show alliteration, as can be seen from the above quotation. ③Romance: The most prevailing(流行的) kind of literature in feudal England was the Romance. It was a long composition, sometimes in verse(诗篇), sometimes in prose(散文), describing the life and adventures of a noble hero, usually a knight, as riding forth to seek adventures, taking part in tournament(竞赛), or fighting for his lord in battle and the swearing of oaths. ④Epic: An epic is a lengthy narrative poem, ordinarily concerning a serious subject containing details of heroic deeds and events significantly to a culture or nation. The first epics are known as primacy, or original epics. ⑤Ballad: The most important department of English folk literature is the ballad which is a story told in song, usually in 4-line stanzas(诗节), with the second and fourth lines rhymed. The subjects of ballads are various in kind, as the struggle of young lovers against their feudal-minded families, the conflict between love and wealth, the cruelty of jealousy, the criticism of the civil war, and the matters and class struggle. The paramount(卓越的) important ballad is Robin Hood(《绿林好汉》). ⑥Geoffrey Chaucer杰弗里.乔叟: He was an English author, poet, philosopher and diplomat. He is the founder of English poetry. He obtained a good knowledge of Latin, French and Italian. His best remembered narrative is the Canterbury Tales(《坎特伯雷故事集》), which the Prologue(序言) supplies a miniature(缩影) of the English society of Chaucer’s time. That is why Chaucer has been called “the founder of English realism”. Chaucer affirms men and women’s right to pursue their happiness on earth and opposes(反对) the dogma of asceticism(禁欲主义) preached(鼓吹) by the church. As a forerunner of humanism, he praises man’s energy, intellect, quick wit and love of life. Chaucer’s contribution to English poetry lies chiefly in the fact that he introduced from France the rhymed stanza of various types, especially the rhymed couplet of 5 accents in iambic(抑扬格) meter(the “heroic couplet”) to English poetry, instead of the old Anglo-Saxon alliterative verse. ⑦【William Langland威廉.朗兰: Piers the Plowman《农夫皮尔斯》】

The happiness of having such a sister 他们首先倾吐了要做姑娘的喜悦，两位小姐高兴的一次次拥抱，洒下了欣喜的泪花. Tess’s pride would not allow her to turn her head again,苔丝出于自尊，不愿意再回头去看父亲在搞什么名堂，如果他真有什么名堂的话. It is my conviction that though men may 我相信，人们虽然未必比以前还要不讲道德，但似乎要比以前更加不知羞耻。 I saw that his face was pale.I followed his eyes 我见他脸色煞白。我循着他的目光，看到餐厅那边有个女人端着托盘给几位客人上饮料。 Father passed his hand over his face父亲用手摸了摸脸。 They were attended from morning to night 从早到晚，都有妻子，护士，秘书这样的女帮手服侍他们。 I was truly dumbfounded by this deep fury 她一见到我就这么气势汹汹，真把我惊呆了。 They can be purchased pre-washed, pre-fade,人们还可以买到经过水洗，褪色和缩水处理的牛仔裤，以符合无产者的形象。 The task was done, not free from further blunders课上完了，做学生的并没有根绝错误... Levi’s jeans were first introduced to the East,里维斯的牛仔裤最初引进到东部，显然是在20世纪30年代的农场度假热潮中 And as each and all of them were warmed without by the sun, 她们大家，不仅个个身上都给太阳晒得暖烘烘的，而且人人心里都有一个小太阳温暖着各自的心灵 One must remember that human beings also can only do what they are “programmed”我们应该记住，人类同样也只能按照“程序”办事。受精卵一形成，基因就给我们编号了“程序”，我们的潜能也要受到这个“程序”的限制。 In the course of my travels in America I have been impressed by 我在美国旅行期间，注意到了一种根深蒂固的忧郁症。我觉得这种忧郁症似乎极其普遍，这就给社会改革家出了难题。 Each year, more than 250,000,000 items of Levi’s 每年，李维服装的销售量超过2.5亿件-----其中包括8,300多万条钉有铜钉的蓝色牛仔裤。 The human brain weighs three pounds,but in that three pounds 人脑只有三磅重，但就在这三磅的物质中，却包含着一百亿个神经细胞，以及一千亿个更小的细胞。 The difference between me and these daughters 我和这些女儿们的分歧在于：由于性别的缘故，他们认为我生来注定要成为她们父亲那样的人，因而也就成为妨碍她们实现自己愿望的敌人。 Some had beautiful eyes,others a beautiful nose, others a beautiful 她们有的长着漂亮的眼睛，有的生者俏丽的鼻子，有的有着妩媚的嘴巴、婀娜的身段；但是，这样样都美的，虽然不能说一个没有，却也是寥寥无几。 I fell madly in love with her, and she with me我狂热的爱上了她，她也狂热地爱上了我。 In a moment she reappeared to hurl my change and the ticket on the counter不一会儿工夫，她又回来了，将零钱和车票往柜台上猛地一摔，大半都撒落在我脚边。 The Harrow custom of calling the roll is different from that of Eton. 哈罗公学的点名方式跟伊顿公学有所不同。 On August 16,1983,they started for the South to seek their fortune. 1983年8月16日，他们动身去南方寻求生路。 “Contrary,then,” answered another, in deep but softened tones.”And now,“那好，相反，”另一个人以深沉而柔和的语调答道。“那就亲亲我吧，我学得这么用心。” Another person runs to avoid doing anything else,另一个人跑步则是为了避而不做别的事，不对如何生活作出决定，不去感受自己生活碌碌无为。 They were of course all intending 当然大家都做好了惊讶的准备，但却没有料到会惊讶道这个地步 He had an aversion to yielding so completely 他不愿意完全凭感情用事，因此宁肯自己不来吃饭。看来，二十四小时吃一顿饭，在他是足够了。 I knew her before I ever met your mother.我没遇见你妈妈之前就认识她了。 Even so, I still insist that for the individual himself nothing is more important than this personal, 即便如此，我仍然坚持认为，对个人而言，最重要的莫过于这种根植于个人心灵深处的是非感，以及坚决按这种是非感行事的决心，而不是随波逐流，或仅仅以是否“对社会有益”为准则。 Almost from the first,Strauss had his cloth dyed the distinctive indigo that gave blue jeans their name, 机会从一开始，施特劳斯就把他的布料染成别具一格的蓝色，因此便有了蓝色牛仔裤之称。不过，直至19世纪70年代，他才往裤子上加了铜铆钉；长期以来，这铜铆钉也就成了公司的标志。 I believe then that I would die there,and I saw with a terrible clarity 当时我觉得我要死在那儿了，而下面山谷里的景致却看得异常清晰。在我看来，这些景致依然那样美丽。 Sir William and Lady Lucas are determined to go,merely on that account, 卢卡斯爵士夫妇打定主意要去，还不就是为了这个缘故，因为你知道，他们通常是不去拜访新搬来的邻居的。 No, if I read any, it should be Mrs. Radcliffe’s.我要是看小说，那就看拉德克里夫人的。她的小说倒挺有意思，值得一读。那里面多少有点逗趣的内容和对大自然的描写。 Again, therefore, she applied herself to the key, 因此，她又搬弄钥匙。她靠着最后一线希望，果断利索地朝各个方向拧了一阵之后，柜门忽然打开了。
