诗歌赏析样题
Personal Helicon
by Seamus Heaney
1 As a child, they could not keep me from wells
And old pumps with buckets and windlasses.
I loved the dark drop, the trapped sky, the smells
Of waterweed, fungus and dank moss.
5 One, in a brickyard, with a rotted board top.
I savoured the rich crash when a bucket
Plummeted down at the end of a rope.
So deep you saw no reflection of it.
……….
Helicon: Mount Helicon was a site in Ancient Greece where the muses wereworshipped.
The muses were believed to inspire all artists, especially poets.
Windlass: the handle used to raise thebucket from the bottom of a well.
这首诗歌描述了主人公回忆儿时在乡间的一口井边玩耍的时光,通过各种不同的描述和比喻手法对这口井和其周围的环境进行描述。这首诗是BC省历届的真题样板文。那下面老师带大家来看一道省考真题和解析!
Sample question:
What is thepredominant form of imagery in “I savoured the rich crash when abucket/Plummeted down at the end of a rope” (lines 6 and 7)
A. Taste
B. Sight
C. Smell
D. Sound
题目问第6和第7行所运用的主要“画面影像”修辞是哪一个?
诗歌第6行第7行的意思是 “当一个水桶垂直坠落到绳子末端/(井底)时,我感觉到了一个巨大的震隆声”
A 选项的意思是: 味觉
B 选项的意思是:视觉
C 选项的意思是: 嗅觉
D 选项的意思是:听觉
所以这里我们的答案很明显是选项D
词汇分析:
-- savour:品尝,体味 (动词)
-- bucket: 水桶 (名词)
-- plummet: 垂直下降,急速下降 (动词)
⚠:这个动词在雅思小作文里,当遇到大幅度下降的数据变化时也同样可以用。
-- Crash:坠毁,大力撞击,震隆声 (动词,名词)
为了方便大家的理解,老师在这里还附上了一张井的图片和英文标注:
⚠:Chain的位置是我们诗歌中rope(绳子)的位置。
