12、 wa are madeAn EntrapmentMy love, I have tried with all my beingto grasp a form comparable to thine own,but nothing seems worthy;I know now why Shakespeare could notcompare his love to a summers day.It would be a crime to denounce the beautyof such a creature as thee,to simply cast away the precisio

15、wood,And sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I couldTo where it bent in the undergrowth;Then took the other, as just as fair,And having perhaps the better claim,Because it was grassy and wanted wear;Though as for that the passing thereHad worn

16、them really about the same,And both that morning equally layIn leaves no step had trodden black.Oh, I kept the first for another day!Yet knowing how way leads on to way,I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood,

24、方，夜那么静，我终于肯定 我最怀念的，不是那些终将消逝的东西， 而是鸟鸣时那种宁静。罗伯特潘沃伦（Robert Penn Warren, 19051989），美国第一任桂冠诗人。早年为“新批评派”代表之一，晚年诗风发生重大转变。被评论界称为“我们最杰出的文学家”以及“二十世纪后半叶最重要的美国诗人”。由Carrie Jacobs-Bond 写于1910年的英文诗 A PERFECT DAY (美好的一天) 。诗中歌颂了圣洁的友谊，表达了朋友依依惜别时的忧伤心情。两种译文（转载），你觉得哪个好呢？（一）当美好的日子即将流过，你沉思着独自静坐;当钟声伴随着快乐的颂歌响起，为了这美好日子带来的快乐;

26、了友人的化身。彻底的礼物（The Gift Outright ）彻底的礼物占有我们尚不为之占有的，被已不再占有的所占有。我们所保留的使我们虚弱，直到发现正是我们自己。我们拒绝给与我们生活的土地，于是在投降中得到新生。The land was ours before we were the lands.She was our land more than a hundred yearsBefore we were her people.

27、Possessing what we still were unpossessed by,Possessed by what we now no more possessed.Something we were withholding made us weak.Until we found out that it was ourselvesWe were withholding from our land of living,And forthwith found salvation in surrender.Such as we were we gave ourselves outright

28、(The deed of gift was many deeds of war)To the land vaguely realizing westward,But still unstoried, artless, unenhanced,Such as she was, such as she would become.作者简介：弗罗斯特(Robert Frost)(18741963)美国诗人。1874年3月26日生于美国西部的旧金山。他11岁丧父，后随母亲迁居东北部的新英格兰。此后，他就与那块土地结下了不解之缘。弗罗斯特16岁开始写诗，20岁时正式发表第一首诗歌。他勤奋笔耕，一生中共出了1

29、0多本诗集，其中主要的有波士顿以北(1914)，山间(1916)，新罕布什尔(1923)，西流的小溪(1928)，见证树(1942)以及林间空地(1962)等。弗罗斯特的诗可分为两大类：抒情短诗和戏剧性较强的叙事诗，两者都脍炙人口。弗罗斯特的抒情诗主要描写了大自然和农民，尤其是新英格兰的景色和北方的农民。这些诗形象而生动，具有很强的感染力，深受各层次读者的欢迎。他的叙事诗一般都格调低沉，体现了诗人思想和性格中阴郁的一面。弗罗斯特的世界观是比较复杂的，他把世界看成是一个善与恶的混合体。因此，他的诗一方面描写了大自然的美和自然对人类的恩惠，另一方面也写了其破坏力以及给人类带来的不幸和灾难。弗罗斯特诗歌风格上的一个最大特点是朴素无华，含义隽永，寓深刻的思考和哲理于平淡无奇的内容和简洁朴实的诗句之中。这既是弗罗斯特的艺术追求，也是他事业成功的秘密所在。 whats more: 摘抄 1961年元月,我在电视里观看肯尼迪就职典礼.罗伯特弗罗斯特应肯尼迪邀请上台朗诵他的一首诗。他选了彻底的礼物。当我听到： 占有我们尚不为之占有的， 被已不再占有的所占有。 我们所保留的使我们虚弱， 直到发现正是我们自己。 我们拒绝给与我们生活的土地， 于是在投降中得到新生 似乎什么东西一直触到了我的心灵。后来在一本集子里我找到了弗罗斯特的这首诗。它确实很美，很有力量。它在我申请入美国籍的决心里起了一些作用。
