poem简单

And just read a single poem. In his Oxford lectures, Seamus Heaney argued that a poem draws a picture of reality, a “glimpsed alternative” that sets up a contradiction with your own, in ways little and large. The negotiation, between you and it, is the heart of the matter. What does the poet see that you don’t? What does the difference mean? It could be one of the best conversations you ever have. Forget self-help books; reading is self-help in action.

再读一首诗就好。谢默斯·希尼在牛津的讲座中提出，一首诗描绘了一幅现实图景，即一种“瞥见的另一种可能”，它在大大小小的方面与你自己的现实形成矛盾。你与诗之间的协商才是问题的核心。诗人看到了什么你没看到的东西？这种差异意味着什么？这可能是你一生中最好的对话之一。忘掉那些自助类书籍吧；阅读本身就是付诸行动的自助。

Through carefully selected words and phrases, poems can be dramatic, funny, beautiful, moving and inspiring.

In plays, novels and narrative poems, characters speak as constructs created by the author, not necessarily as mouthpieces for the author’s own thoughts.

在戏剧、小说和叙事诗中，人物是作为作者创造的构建物来说话的，而不一定是作者自身思想的传声筒。
