夜莺与玫瑰英文原文
NIGHTINGALE AND ROSE She said that she would dance with me if I brought her red roses, cried young Student, but in all my garden there is red rose. From her nest in the oak tree the Nightingale heard , and she looked out through the leaves and wondered. red rose in all my garden! he cried, and beautiful eyes filled with tears. Ah, on what tle things does happiness depend! I have read all that the wise men have written, and all the secrets of philosophy are mine, yet for want (没有) of a red rose is my made wretched. Here at last is a true lover, said the Nightingale. Night after night have I sung of , though I knew t: night after night have I told story to the stars and now I see him. hair is dark as the hyacinth()-- blossom, and his lips are red as the rose of his desire; but passion has made his face like pale ivory, and sorrow has set her seal upon his brow. The Prince gives a ball (舞会) to-morrow night, murmured the young student, and my love will be of the company. If I bring her a red rose she will dance with me till dawn. If I bring her a red rose, I should hold her in my arms, and she will lean her head upon my shoulder, and her hand will be clasped in mine. But there is no red rose in my garden, so I shall sit lonely, and she will pass me by. She will have no heed of me, and my heart will break. Here, indeed, is the true lover, said the Nightingale. What I sing of, he suffers: what is to me, to him is pain. Surely love is a wonderful thing. It is more precious than emeralds (), and dearer than fine opals (). Pearls and pomegranates cannot buy it, nor is it set forth in the market-place. It may not be purchased of the merchants, nor can it be weighed out in the balance for gold. The musicians will sit in their gallery, said the young Student, and play upon their stringed instruments, and my love will dance to the sound of the harp and the violin. She will dance so lightly that her feet will not touch the floor, and the courtiers in their gay dresses will throng round her. But with me she will not dance, for I have no red rose to give her: and he flung himself down on the grass, and buried his face in his hands, and wept. Why is he weeping? asked a tle Green Lizard, as he ran past him with his tail in the air. Why, indeed? said a Butterfly, who was fluttering about after a sunbeam. Why, indeed? whispered a Daisy to his neighbour, in a soft, low voice. He is weeping for a red rose, said the Nightingale. For a red rose? they cried: how very ridiculous! and the little Lizard, who was something of a cynic (愤世嫉俗者), laughed outright. But the Nightingale understood the secret of the Student’s sorrow, and she sat silent in the oak-tree, and thought about the mystery of Love. Suddenly she spread her brown wings for flight, and soared into the air. She passed through the grove like a shadow and like a shadow she sailed across the garden. In the center of the grass-plot was standing a beautiful Rose-tree, and when she saw it she flew over to it, and lit upon a spray. Give me a red rose, she cried, and I will sing you my sweetest song. But the Tree shook its head. My roses are white, it answered; as white as the foam of the sea, and whiter than the snow upon the mountain. But go to my brother who grows round the old sun-dial (一种玫瑰), and perhaps he will give you what you want. So the Nightingale flew over to the Rose-tree that was growing round the old sun-dial. Give me a red rose, she cried, and I will sing you my sweetest song. But the Tree shook its head. My roses are yellow, it answered; as yellow as the hair of the mermaiden (美人鱼) who sits upon an amber throne, and yellower than the daffodil (黄水仙) that blooms in the meadow before the mower comes with his scythe. But go to my brother who grows beneath the Student’s window (一种玫瑰), and perhaps he will give you what you want. So the Nightingale flew over to the Rose-tree that was growing beneath the Student’s window. Give me a red rose, she cried, and I will sing you my sweetest song. But the Tree shook its head. My roses are red, it answered, as red as the feet of the dove, and redder than the great fans of coral that wave and wave in the ocean-cavern. But the winter has chilled my veins, and the frost has nipped (摧残) my buds, and the storm has broken my branches, and I shall have no roses at all this year. One red rose is all I want, cried the Nightingale, only one red rose! Is there no way by which I can get it? There is a way, answered the Tree; but it is so terrible that I dare not tell it to you. Tell it to me, said the Nightingale, I am not afraid. If you want a red rose, said the Tree, you must build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with your own heart’s blood. You must sing to me with your breast against a thorn. All night long you must sing to me, and the thorn must pierce your heart, and your life-blood must flow into me veins, and become mine. Death is a great price to pay for a red rose, cried the Nightingale, and Life is very dear to all. It is pleasant to sit in the green wood, and to watch the Sun in his chariot (战车) of gold, and the Moon in her chariot of pearl. Sweet is the scent of the hawthorn, and sweet are the bluebells that hide in the valley, and the heather that blows on the hill. Yet love is better than Life, and what is the heart of a bird compared to the heart of a man? So she spread her brown wings for flight, and soared into the air. She swept over the garden like a shadow, and like a shadow she sailed through the grove. The young Student was still lying on the grass, where she had left him, and the tears were not yet dry in his beautiful eyes. Be happy, cried the Nightingale, be happy; you shall have your red rose. I will build it out of music by moonlight, and stain it with my own heart’s blood. All that I ask of you in return is that you will be a true lover, for Love is wiser than Philosophy (哲学), though he is wise, and mightier than Power, though he is mighty. Flame-coloured are his wings, and coloured like flame is his body. His lips are sweet as homey, and his breath is like frankincense. The Student looked up from the grass, and listened, but he could not understand what the Nightingale was saying to him, for he only knew the things that are written down in books. But the Oak-tree understood, and felt sad, for he was very fond of the little Nightingale, who had built her nest in his branches. Sing me one last song, he whispered; I shall feel lonely when you are gone. So the Nightingale sang to the Oak-tree, and her voice was like water bubbling from a silver jar. When she had finished her song, the Student got up, and pulled a note-book and a lead-pencil out of his pocket. She had form, her said to himself, as he walked away through the grove—that cannot be denied to her; but has she got feeling? I am afraid not. In fact, she is like most artists; she is all style without any sincerity. She would not sacrifice herself for others. She thinks merely of music, and everybody knows that the arts are selfish. Still, it must be admitted that she has some beautiful notes in her voice. What a pity it is that they do not mean anything, or do any practical good! And he went into his room, and lay down on his little pallet-bed, and began to think of his love; and, after a time, he fell asleep. And when the moon shone in the heavens the Nightingale flew to the Rose-tree, and set her breast against the thorn. All night long she sang, with her breast against the thorn, and the cold crystal Moon leaned down and listened. All night long she sang, and the thorn went deeper and deeper into her breast, and her life-blood ebbed away from her. She sang first of the birth of love in the heart of a boy and a girl. And on the topmost spray of the Rose-tree there blossomed a marvelous rose, petal following petal, as song followed song. Pale was it, at first, as the mist that hangs over the river—pale as the feet of the morning, and silver as the wings of the dawn. As the shadow of a rose in a mirror of silver, as the shadow of a rose in a water-pool, so was the rose that blossomed on the topmost spray of the Tree. But the Tree cried to the Nightingale to press closer against the thorn. Press closer, little Nightingale, cried the Tree, or the Day will come before the rose is finished. So the Nightingale pressed closer against the thorn, and louder and louder grew her song, for she sang of the birth of passion in the soul of a man and a maid. And a delicate flush of pink came into the leaves of the rose, like the flush in the face of the bridegroom when he kisses the lips of the bride. But the thorn had not yet reached her heart, so the rose’s heart remained white, for only a Nightingale’s heart’s blood can crimson the heart of a rose. And the Tree cried to the Nightingale to press closer against the thorn. Press closer, little Nightingale, cried the Tree, or the Day will come before the rose is finished. So the Nightingale pressed closer against the thorn, and the thorn touched her heart, and a fierce pang of pain shot through her. Bitter, bitter was the pain, and wilder and wilder grew her song, for she sang of the Love that is perfected by Death, of the Love that dies not in the tomb. And the marvelous rose became crimson (猩红), like the rose of the eastern sky. Crimson was the girdle of petals, and crimson as a ruby (红宝石) was the heart. But the Nightingale’ voice grew fainter, and her little wings began to beat, and a film came over her eyes. Fainter and fainter grew her song, and she felt something choking her in her throat. Then she gave one last burst of music. The white Moon heard it, and she forgot the dawn, and lingered on in the sky. The red rose heard it, and it trembled all over with ecstasy, and opened its petals to the cold morning air. Echo bore it to her purple cavern in the hills, and woke the sleeping shepherds from their dreams. It floated through the reeds of the river, and they carried its message to the sea. Look, look! cried the Tree, the rose is finished now; but the Nightingale made not answer, for she was lying dead in the long grass, with the thorn in her heart. And at noon the Student opened his window and looked out. Why, what a wonderful piece of luck! He cried; here is a red rose! I have never seen any rose like it in all my life. It is so beautiful that I am sure it has a long Latin name; and he leaned down and plucked it. Then he put on his hat, and ran up to the Professor’s house with the rose in his hand. The daughter of the Professor was sitting in the doorway winding blue silk on a reel, and her little dog was lying at her feet. You said that you would dance with me if I brought you a red rose, cried the Student. Here is the reddest rose in all the world. You will wear it to-night next your heart, and as we dance together it will tell you how I love you. But he girl frowned. I am afraid it will not go with my dress, she answered; and, besides, the Chamberlain’s nephew had sent me some real jewels, and everybody knows that jewels cost far more than flowers. Well, upon my word, you are very ungrateful, said the Student angrily; and he threw the rose onto he street, where it fell into the gutter (阴沟), and a cartwheel went over it. Ungrateful! said the girl. I tell you what, you are very rude; and, after all, who are you? Only a Student. Why, I dont believe you have even got silver buckles to your shoes as the Chamberlain’s nephew has; and she got up from her chair and went into the house. What a silly thing Love is! said the Student as he walked away. It is not half as useful as Logic, for it does not prove anything, and it is always telling one of things that are not going to happen, and making one believe things that are not true. In fact, it is quite unpractical, and, as in this age to be practical is everything, I shall go back to Philosophy and study Metaphysics (玄学). So he returned to his room and pulled out a great dusty book, and began to read.

中文诗歌和英文诗歌的特点
《英文诗歌》英语诗歌的韵律dasha英诗节奏(Rhythm)构成英诗节奏的基础是韵律(metre)。
在希腊语中，“metre”这个字是“尺度(标谁)”的意思。
英诗就是根据诗行中的音节和重读节奏作为“尺度(标准)”来计算韵律的。
英诗的特点之一是与其他文体不同的排列格式。
各诗行不达到每页页边，每行开始词首大写。
几行成为一节(stanza)，不分段落。
各行都要讲究一定的音节数量，行末押韵或不押韵，交错排列。
……音节重读(stressed)，非重读(unstressed)。
……这就是一种正规的重读形式，在诗歌中即体现为韵律。
研究诗歌韵律规则的科学叫作韵律学(Prosody)。
1．音步(Foot)：英诗中这种重读与非重读音节的特殊性组合叫作音步。
一个音步的音节数量可能为两个或三个音节，但不能少于两个或多于三个音节，而且其中只有一个必须重读。
分析英诗的格律就是将它划分成音步，并区分出是何种音步以及计算音步的数量。
这种音步划分叫scansion。
根据一首英诗组成的音步数量，每一诗行一个音步称“单音步”(monometer)；每一诗行有两个音步的，称“双音步”(dimeter)；含有三个音步的，称“三音步”(trimeter)；此外还有四音步(tetrameter）、五音步、(pentameter)、六音步(hexameter)、七音步(heptameter)、八音步(octometer)。
Is this | a fast, | to keqpThe lard | or leanAnd clean? (Herrick)2．韵律(Metre)： 英诗的韵律是依据音步包含音节的数量及重读音节的位置而加以区分的。
传统英诗的音步有六种：即抑扬格(Lambus)、扬抑格(Trochee)、抑抑扬格(Anapaest)、扬抑抑格(Dactyl)及抑扬抑格(Amphibrach)：(Anapaest)、扬抑抑格(Dactyl)及抑扬抑格(Amphibrach)：“⌒”非重读音节；“／”重读音节。
涂寿鹏编著 , 《英文诗歌导读》英诗的韵英语诗歌的押韵可以根据单词的内音素重复的部位不同而分成不同种类，最常见的有头韵（Alliteration）、谐元韵（Assonance）和尾韵（Rhyme）。
头韵指词首重复，如great和grew；谐元韵是指词中重读元音重复，如great和fail；尾韵则指词尾音素重复，如great和bait。
但一行诗中可能同时存在多种押韵形式：The light that lies in women's eyes. --Thomas Moore这行诗中既有头韵light和lies，谐元韵light、lies、eyes，又有且有尾韵（这种押韵方式称行中韵middle rhyme）lies和eyes。
英语诗歌的行与行之间的押韵格式称韵法（rhyming scheme）。
常见有两行转韵（AABB）、隔行押韵（ABCB）、隔行交互押韵（ABAB）和交错押韵（ABBA）。
（Dasha整理）英诗体例：十四行诗(sonnet)：过去也曾音译为《商籁诗》。
十四行，抑扬格，五音步用作全诗的形式。
首先出现于意大利，16世纪中传入英国，为伊丽莎白时代(伊丽莎白一世在位时期为1558一1603)文人所宠爱，莎士比亚、斯宾塞及西德尼(sidney)全都写下过著名的十四行诗。
18世纪十四行诗曾受到冷落。
但后又被浪漫派诗人济慈、沃兹沃斯等人所复兴，以后许多诗人也多所采用。
英国十四行诗有两种类型：意大利式(Petrarvhan)及莎士比业式(Shakesperoan)(英国式)。
A．意大利式十四行诗：模仿意大利诗人皮特拉克(Petrarch)所创的样式，由两部分组成：第一部分八行(TheOctave)，由的个四行诗体(Quatrains)组成，韵脚是abbaabba；第二部分六行(The Sestet)，韵脚可有不同形式。
按严格的意大利十四行诗体，在前八行结尾诗意应告一段落，而后六行又转入新的诗意。
B．莎士比亚式十四行诗：由三个四行诗体组成，韵脚交替进行。
最后是押韵的双行诗体。
整个韵脚是ababcdcdefefgg。
在莎士比亚式十四行诗中意境一气呵成，直到最后双行体，为全诗高潮。
除莎士比亚外，其他诗人也采用此种形式。
SONNET 21So is not with me as with that Muse,Stirr'd by a painted beauty to his verse,Who heaven itself for ornament doth useAnd every fair with his fair doth rehearse,Making a couplement of proud compare,With sun and moon, with earth and sea's rich gems.With April's first-born flowers, and all things rareThat heaven's air in this huge rondure hems.O, let metrue in love, but truly write,And then believe me, my love is as fairAs any mother's child, though not so brightAs those gold candles fix'd in heaven’s air.Let them say more that like of hearsay well;I will not praise that purpose not to sell.(Shakespaere)《十四行诗集》第21首我的诗神①并不像那一位持神只知运用脂粉涂抹他的诗句，连苍穹也要搬下来作妆饰品，罗列每个佳丽去称赞他的佳丽，用种种浮夸的比喻作成对偶，把他之太阳、月亮、海陆的瑰宝，四月的鲜花，和这浩荡的宇宙蕴藏在它的怀里的一切奇妙。
哦，让我既真心爱，就真心歌唱，而且，相信我，我的爱可以媲美任何母亲的儿子，虽然论明亮比不上挂在天空的金色烛台。
谁喜欢空话，让他尽说个不穷；我志不在出售，自用不着祷颂。

①(原译注)诗神：即诗人，下面用男性代词“他”字。
涂寿鹏编著 , 《英文诗歌导读》 , 第38页哀歌 elegy 为哀悼一位公共活动家、一位友人或所爱的人而写的一种沉思抒情诗；推而广之，又指悲叹人世无常的、题材更广泛的任何内省性质的抒情诗。
在古典文学中，所谓哀歌只不过用哀歌格律（诗行交替使用扬抑抑格的六音步句和五音步句)写的诗篇，题材也不限制。
在某些现代文学，例如德国文学中，人们使哀歌格律适应于语言，因此哀歌一词变成只指这种格律，而不是指诗歌的内容。

Who was the first man
谁是世界上第一个男人A teacher said to her class:”Who was the first man?”一个老师问她的学生：“谁是世界上第一个男人”“George Washington,” a little boy shouted promptly．一个小男孩立刻大声说：“乔治.华盛顿。
”“How do you make out that George Washington was the first man
”asked the teacher，smiling indulgently．老师带着宠溺的笑容问这个男生：“你如何证明是世界上第一个男人呢。
”“Because,” said the little boy, “he was first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen.”这个男孩子说：“因为，他是第一个挑起战争，第一个主，并且是第一个深得民心的人。
”But at this point a larger boy held up his hand. “Well,” said the teacher to him, “who do you think was the first man?”这时，有一个年龄稍大的男孩子，老师问他，“你认为谁是世界第一个男人
”“I don’t know what his name was, ” said the larger boy, “but I know it wasn’t George Washington, ma’am, because the history book says George Washington married a widow, so, of course, there must have been a man ahead of him.”男孩回答说：“我不知道他的名字，但是我肯定他不是，因为历史书上说，和一个寡妇结婚了，所以在他之前，当然还有一个男的啦。
