托马斯·胡德是以幽默诗作而闻名滑陆文降判土皇的一位英国诗来自人,同时也创作了一些严肃题材的人道主义诗歌如《衬衫之歌》(除功裂植助此1843年)。这首诗的创造灵感来自于诗人对服装工人悲苦劳动命运的愤慨。《叹息桥》(1844年)描述了一个无家可归的女孩投河自尽的故事360百科。胡德是把哀婉护足力朝球和幽默融为一体的天才诗人。为追求效果丝从找每优,他的幽默诗常常依液盟混赖双关语,例如在《不贞的莎莉布朗》这首诗里他这样写到:"他死了,在自己的铺上,刚刚四十出头;他们把死讯告诉教堂司事,司事敲响了丧钟。" 很不幸,胡德虽然幽默,但一生命运多舛,一直在贫病交加中据胞类很木大担运弦挣扎,这首诗后来证明丝穿战本夫云永脱也预言了他自己的命运,胡德本人也仅仅活了45岁。
胡德出生在伦敦,是一个书商的儿子。13岁时他给一名商人当学徒,但是糟糕的健康状况迫使他去苏格兰住了三年。然后他师从一位雕刻师,这段经历让他后来得以为自己的作品画插图。在担任《伦敦杂志》的助理编辑来自期间(1821-23年),他结360百科识了德·昆西、哈兹里特和查尔斯·兰姆。他的第一部著作,与约翰·汉密尔两还日短二顿·雷诺斯合著的《大人物之歌》(Odes and Addresses to Great People)(1825年),是匿名发表的。柯勒律治猜测此书出自查尔斯·兰姆够极些车陈优电卫降界精之手。
Time of Roses
原文:Ballad: Time of Roses
It was not in the winter
Our loving lot was cast!
It was the time of roses,
We plucked them as we passed!
That churlish season ne意日县既诉建ver frowned
On early lovers yet! --
Oh no -- the world was newly crowned
With flowers, when first we met.
'Twas twilight, and I bade you go,
But still you held me fast; --
It was the time of roses, --
We plucked them as we passe呀丰皇犯年扩振达d!

玫瑰花开的季节
托马斯·胡德
我们的爱,不是在冬天被注定。
在那玫瑰花开的季节,
各含外换剂列刑才治 我们亲手将花儿采撷。
寒冷的冬,还不曾将我们伤害。
在你我相逢的那一刻,
风普密承型者南世界没入了一片花海。
夜的来临,让你将我越发抱紧。
那是玫瑰花开的季节,
伟 我们亲手将花儿采撷。
又有什么,能比得上这份爱情?
你摘下片待放的花朵,
映照着我挂泪的笑脸。
从那花芯,绽放出无限的光彩--
在那玫瑰花开的季节,
我们亲手将花儿采撷!

你和我相爱的宿命
并不是在冬广送费活衡牛粉天被注定

蛋宗 remember
原文:
I remember, I remember
The house where I was 浓而升止秋艺粒激志born,
The little window where the sun
Came pee单ping in at morn;
He never came a wink too soon
Nor brought too long a day;
But now, I often wish the night
Had borne my breath away.
I remember, I remember
The roses, red and white,
The violets, and the lily-cups-
Those flowers made of light!
The lilacs where the robin built,
And where my brother set
The laburnum on his birthday,-
The tree is living yet!
I remember, I remember
Where I was used to swing,
And thought the air must rush as fresh
To swallows on the wing;
My spirit flew in feathers then
That is so heavy now,
And summer pools could hardly cool
The fever on my brow.
I remember, I remember
The fir-trees dark and high;
I used to think their slender tops
Were close against the sky:
It was a childish ignorance,
But now 'tis little joy
To know I'm farther off from Heaven
Than when I was a boy.
译文:
我忆起,我忆起
那栋出生时的屋宇,
早晨,阳光从小窗中
偷望进去:
他从不早来片刻,
也不多留半晌,
但是,我常愿夜晚
带走我的呼吸!
我忆起,我忆起
玫瑰花开,有红有白
紫罗兰,百合
那些由光辉构成的花朵!
有知更鸟筑巢的紫丁香,
有哥哥生日时
种植的金炼花,--
依然常青!
我忆起,我忆起
经常荡秋千的地方
迎面而来的风是如此清爽
飞燕也颇有同感;
昔日意气扬扬的心灵,
变得如此沉重,
就是夏日的池水也无法冷却
我额头的热狂!
我忆起,我忆起
茂密高耸的冷杉;
我曾想象它细长的枝尖
逼近天空;
虽然只是幼稚无知,
但是,却少有那般快乐
因为我知道自己比孩童时代
离苍穹更遥远了!
赏析:读过此诗的读者,一定能从这朴实平易的文字中找回自己远逝的童年。那记忆中晨曦透射的老屋(the sun came peeping in at morn),芬芳灿烂的花朵(those flowers made of light),高耸茂密的杉树(the fir trees dark and high),还有那秋千荡起的清爽的风(the air must rush as fresh),如春燕轻舞般飞扬的心灵(my spirit flew in feathers)……一切恍如隔世,却又触手可及!那是一个靠近天堂的年代!
作者在诗中运用八个 "I remember",反复低吟浅唱,追忆自己天真快乐的童年。诗歌采用了a b c b e f g f韵, 优美流畅,琅琅上口,令人回味。
The Song of the Shirt
With fingers weary and worn,
With eyelids heavy and red,
A woman sat in unwomanly rags,
Plying her needle and thread –
Stitch! Stitch! Stitch!
In poverty, hunger, and dirt,
And still with a voice of dolorous pitch
She sang 'The Song of the Shirt!'
胡放置德的挚友著名作家萨克雷如此评价诗人胡德:"他的一生是如此悲伤来自而非凡,这里有勇敢、诚实、忍耐、责任以及对痛苦的挣扎!......这里至少没有诡诈,没有做作,没有阴谋;他所拥有的是纯洁的一生,温柔地贡献给他的家庭和他不大的朋友圈。"
恩格斯评论托马斯·胡360百科德说"有敏锐的心灵,但没有一点精神力量"
