Step 1感知·閱讀導航

這是一篇傳記節選，包含詩歌欣賞和作者背景信息解讀。《致月亮》一詩表達了詩人與月亮心心相通、惺惺相惜的心態情感。詩中的月亮被人性化，被賦予了人類的品格。詩人想象月亮因不停地攀登天堂，不斷地凝望地球而感到疲倦困乏；在不同的星辰之間孤獨地穿梭流浪，沒有同伴相陪；像一只無歡樂的眼睛，因找不到值得長久停留的目標而變化不斷。

雪萊詩歌中的月亮其實是寫他自己，字里行間詩人的彷徨、苦悶、失望的心情，在作者背景信息中都能一一對應，雪萊的經歷、立場、信念也都濃縮在詩歌里。

閱讀立意

閱讀時應達到以下四個目標：

1.模仿詩歌的朗讀方式，通過嘗試翻譯賞析中英文語言，關注押韻的寫作特征，體會詩歌的音韻美；

2.體悟《致月亮》的主題意義和象征手法的運用，與相同意象的蘇軾的《水調歌頭》進行對比閱讀，體會兩首詩歌的意象美；

3.通過與《水調歌頭》的對比閱讀，聯系作者背景信息，進行語言的賞析，感悟詩歌簡潔語言背后的深意，體會詩歌的語言美；

4.通過品讀Robert Burns的《一朵紅紅的玫瑰》，賞析三首詩歌“象征”手法的運用，再次體悟詩歌的音韻美、意象美和語言美。

To the Moon Percy Bysshe Shelley

Art thou pale for weariness Of climbing heaven and gazing on the earth,

Wandering companionless

Among the stars that have a different birth,—

And ever changing,like a joyless eye

That finds no object worth its constancy?

水調歌頭

蘇軾

明月幾時有?

把酒問青天。

不知天上宮闕，

今夕是何年?

我欲乘風歸去，

又恐瓊樓玉宇，

高處不勝寒。

起舞弄清影，

何似在人間？

轉朱閣，

低綺戶，

照無眠。

不應有恨，

何事長向別時圓？

人有悲歡離合，

月有陰晴圓缺，

此事古難全。

但愿人長久，

千里共嬋娟。

Prelude to the Melody of Water

How long will the bright moon appear?

Wine-cup in hand，I ask the sky.

I do not know what time of year

It would be tonight in the palace on high.

Riding the wind， there I would fly，

Yet I fear the crystal palace would be

Far too high and cold for me.

I rise and dance，with my shadow I play.

On high as on earth，would it be as gay?

The moon goes round the mansion red

Through gauze-draped windows soft to shed

Her light upon the sleepless bed

Against man she should have no spite.

Why then when people part is she oft full and bright?

Men have sorrow and joy，they part or meet again;

The moon may be bright or dim，she may was or wane.

There has been nothing perfect since the olden days.

So let us wish that man

Will live long as he can!

Though miles apart，we'll share the beauty she displays.

視野拓展

摘錄著名翻譯家王佐良先生關于語言學習的以下見地，為本課詩歌賞析注腳：

1.通過文化來學習語言，語言也會學得更好；

2.文體、風格的研究是有實際用途的，它可以使我們更深入地觀察英語的性能，看到英語的長處、短處，以及我們在學習英語時應該特別注意或警惕的地方。因為一方面英語不難使用，一方面又在不小心或過分小心的使用者面前布滿了陷阱。

3.語言之所以有魅力，風格之所以值得研究，主要是因為后面有一個大的精神世界：但這兩者又必須藝術地融合在一起，因此語言表達力同思想洞察力又是互相促進的。

請細品詩歌 A Red Red Rose。

A Red，Red Rose

Robert Burns

O my Luve's like a red， red rose，

That's newly sprung in June;

O my Luve's like the melodie，

That's sweetly play'd in tune.

As fair art thou， my bonie lass，

So deep in luve am I;

And I will luve thee still， my dear，

Till a'the seas gang dry.

Till a'the seas gang dry， my dear，

And the rocks melt wi'the sun;

And I will luve thee still， my dear，

While the sands o'life shall run.

And fare-thee-weel，my only Luve!

And fare-thee-weel，a while!

And I will come again， my Luve，

Tho'it were ten thousand mile!

一朵紅紅的玫瑰

王佐良（譯）

呵，我的愛人像朵紅紅的玫瑰，

六月里迎風初開；

呵，我的愛人像支甜甜的曲子，

奏得和諧又合拍。

我的好姑娘，多么美麗的人兒!

請看我，多么深摯的愛情!

親愛的，我永遠愛你，

縱使大海干枯水流盡。

縱使大海干枯水流盡，

太陽將巖石燒作灰塵，

親愛的，我永遠愛你，

只要我一息猶存。

珍重吧，我唯一的愛人，

珍重吧，讓我們暫時別離，

但我定要回來，

哪怕千里萬里！
