emily_dickinson诗歌赏析
①I’m Nobody!我是无名之辈－Emily DickinsonI’m nobody! Who are you?我是无名之辈！你是谁？Are you nobody, too?你也是无名之辈吗？Then there’s a pair of us----don’t tell!那么我们就是一对儿了！千万不要透露出去They’d banish us, you know!不然我们都会被他们驱逐，你知道。
How dreary to be somebody!做一个某某，是多么沉闷无聊How public, like a frog众人像是青蛙To tell your name the livelong day整日地把你谈论啊To an admiring bog!对着他们倾慕的泥沼我是无名之辈艾米莉·狄金森我是无名之辈，你是谁？你，也是，无名之辈？这就凑成一双，别声张！你知道，他们会大肆张扬！做个，显要人物，好不无聊！像个青蛙，向仰慕的泥沼——在整个六月，把个人的姓名聒噪——何等招摇！This poem is Dickinson’s most famous and most defense of the kind of spiritual privacy she favored, implying that to be a Nobody is a luxury incomprehensible to a dreary somebody—for they are too busy keeping their names in circulation. But to be somebody is not as fancy as it seems to be.Emily DickinsonAs you probably noticed when you read this poem, none of the themes that I discussed in the Overview of Dickinson applies to this poem. My list was not meant to cover every topic Dickinson wrote on, nor does every poem she wrote fit neatly into a category.Dickinson adopts the persona of a child who is open, naive, and innocent. However, are the questions asked and the final statement made by this poem naive? If they are not, then the poem is ironic because of the discrepancy between the persona's understanding and view and those of Dickinson and the reader. Under the guise of the child's accepting society's values, is Dickinson really rejecting those values?Is Dickinson suggesting that the true somebody is really the "nobody"? The child-speaker welcomes the person who honestly identifies herself and who has a true identity. These qualities make that person "nobody" in society's eyes. To be "somebody" is to have status in society; society, the majority, excludes or rejects those who lack status or are "nobody"--that is, "they'd banish us" for being nobody.In stanza 2, the child-speaker rejects the role of "somebody" ("How dreary"). The frog comparison depicts "somebody" as self-important and constantly self-promoting. She also shows the false values of a society (the "admiring bog") which approves the frog-somebody. Does the word "bog" (it means wet, spongy ground) have positive or negative connotations? What qualities are associated with the sounds a frog makes (croaking)?Is there satire in this poem?Some readers, who are modest and self-effacing or who lack confidence, feel validated by this poem. Why?②To Make a Prairie…To make a prairieIt takes a clover and one bee,One clover and a bee,And revery.Revery alone will do,If bees are few.去造一个草原张祈试译去造一个草原需要一株三叶草和一只蜜蜂，一株三叶草和一只蜜蜂，还有梦。

• "If fame belonged to me," she told Higginson, "I could not escape her; if she did not, the longest day would pass me on the chase.… My barefoot rank is better." The twentieth century lifted her without doubt to the first rank among poets.

What’s the Difference?
BECAUSE I could not stop for Death, He kindly stopped for me; The carriage held but just ourselves And Immortality. We slowly drove, he knew no haste, And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For his civility. We passed the school where children played, Their lessons scarcely done; We passed the fields of gazing grain, We passed the setting sun.

美国文学 诗人 埃米莉 狄金森 Dickinson 生平及作品介绍(精排版)
Being rooted in the puritanical Massachusetts of the 1800's, the Dickinson children were raised in the Christian tradition, and they were expected to take up their father's religious beliefs and values without argument.
Emily Dickinson (1830—1886)
“The Belle of Amherst”
Amherst, Massachusetts was an Emily was born there.
Amherst is now known for the very fine Amherst College that is located there.
she seldom left her house and visitors were scarce; she lived in almost total physical isolation from the
outside world, but actively maintained many correspondences(通信) and read widely.
Emily Dickson
Hope
“Hope” is the thing with feather — That perches in the soul— (栖息) And sings the tune without the words— And never stops— at all — And sweetest— in the Gale— is heard; (微风<诗>) 书上
狄金森是一位直觉型诗人，跃动在诗行中的生命激情和思想 火花与其生前那独具神秘色彩的封闭生活状态形成了鲜明对照 。她的诗歌既有日常家庭生活题材，又有抽象深奥命题思考， 不仅具有很强的抒情性，而且还富有哲理内涵。其诗作形式多 变，颇具独创性和个性化特点， 如：无标题、押半韵、改变字 母大小写和飘忽不定的断句分行策略等。标点符号的运用更是 与众不同，长短不一的破折号的使用，使抑扬格、音步、节奏 等诗歌元素的搭配产生突兀的起伏跳动，来拓展诗句的特殊意 义。
Like Dickinson, Wadsworth was a solitary, romantic person that Emily could confide in when writing her poetry. Wadsworth‟s religious beliefs and presumptions also gave Emily a sharp, and often welcome, contrast to the transcendentalist （ 超 验 主 义 者 ） writing and easy assumptions （设想） of Emerson. It is widely believed that Emily had a great love for Wadsworth from Philadelphia even though he was married. Many Dickinson‟s critics believe that Wadsworth was the focal point of her love poems.

Though
Dickinson often uses perfect rhymes for lines two and four, she also makes frequent use of slant rhyme(斜 韵，不工整韵).In some of her poems, she varies the meter from the traditional ballad stanza by using trimeter for lines one, two and four, while only using tetrameter fily Dickenson
I take a flower as I go My face to justify He never saw me in this life I might surprise his eye I cross the hall with mingled steps I silently pass the door I look on all this world contains-Just his face---nothing more!
Her
style : (1) poems without titles (2) capital letters – emphasis (3) severe economy of expression (4) directness, brevity (5) musical device to create cadence (rhythm) (6) short poems, mainly two stanzas (7) rhetoric techniques: personification – make some of abstract ideas vivid (8) use a lot of dashes.
Emily Dickinson 简介
We passed the Setting Sun--
Because I could not stop for Death
Emily Dickinson
• Her poetry is unique and unconventional in its own way. • Her poems have no titles, hence are always quoted by their first lines. • In her poetry there is a particular stress pattern, in which dashes(破折号)are used as a musical device to create cadence(韵律) and capital letters as a means of emphasis. • Most of her poems borrow the repeated four-line, rhymed stanzas of traditional Christian hymns（圣歌）, with two lines of four-beat meter alternating with two lines of three-beat meter. • A master of imagery that makes the spiritual materialize in surprising ways.

emily dickinson关于生命主题的英文诗歌
emily dickinson关于生命主题的英文诗歌Emily Dickinson is recognized as one of the most important American poets of the 19th century. Known for her unique voice and powerful use of language, Dickinson explored a wide range of themes in her poetry, including love, nature, death, and most notably, life.Dickinson's poetry about life often reflects her deep engagement with the world around her, as well as her internal struggles and questions about existence. Throughout her work, she grapples with the complexities of life, seeking to understand its meaning and purpose. In her exploration of this theme, Dickinson delves into topics such as the passage of time, the beauty of nature, the fleeting nature of happiness, and the inevitability of death.One of Dickinson's most famous poems addressing the theme of life is "I Dwell in Possibility" (number 657). In this poem, Dickinson celebrates the endless potential and opportunities that life offers, comparing it to a house full of doors that lead to different paths and possibilities. She emphasizes the power of imagination and creativity in shaping our lives and experiences, suggesting that life is not limited by boundaries or restrictions.In another poem, "Because I Could Not Stop for Death" (number 712), Dickinson explores the interconnectedness of life and death. Through the striking image of Death as a carriage driver who gently escorts her to the afterlife, Dickinson conveys a sense of acceptance and tranquility about the inevitability of death. She suggests that life and death are part of a larger cycle of existence, intertwined and inseparable.Dickinson's poetry about life also frequently addresses the theme of memory and its impact on our perception of reality. In "Remembrance has a Rear and Front" (number 665), Dickinson reflects on the fluid nature of memory and how it shapes our understanding of the past. She suggests that memory is not a static or fixed entity, but rather a dynamic force that can transform our experiences and perceptions of life.Throughout her poetry, Dickinson's treatment of the theme of life is marked by her keen observational skills, sharp wit, and profound insights into human nature. She approaches life with a sense of wonder and curiosity, constantly seeking to unravel its mysteries and complexities. In doing so, she invites readers to contemplate their own existence and the world around them, inspiring them to see life in a new and illuminating light.In conclusion, Emily Dickinson's poetry about life is a testament to her enduring legacy as a poet who continues to captivate and inspire readers with her profound insights and timeless wisdom. Through her exploration of this theme, Dickinson invites us to ponder the mysteries of existence, the beauty of the world, and the significance of our own lives. Her poetry serves as a powerful reminder of the enduring power of language to illuminate and enrich our understanding of the human experience.。

In the second stanza, the tone of the poem changes. The speaker sounds confident. Perhaps it is her discovery that there are other people like her — other "nobodies"-that makes her feel strongly that being a "somebody" isn't such a great idea. She realizes that having a friend who understands you and accepts you as you are is more important than being admired by a lot of people or being in the "in" crowd.
Can anyone explain why it might
be important to know about the life of a poet before exploring his or her poetry?

How dreary to be somebody!
做个名人是好不无聊！ How public like a frog 声名多大，像青蛙一样， To tell your name the livelong day 在漫长的六月里不停的鼓噪， To an admiring bog! 把名字向仰慕的池塘宣扬！

“I am Nobody”
Stanza I. I'm nobody! Who are you? Are you nobody, too? Then there's a pair of us－don't tell! They'd banish us ,you know.
Stanza II. How dreary to be somebody! How public, like a frog To tell you name the livelong June To an admiring bog沼泽，泥塘!
It's because frogs make a lot of noise. The poem
says that frogs, though they can croak and make themselves heard and be noticed, are noticed only by "an admiring bog." The bog is the frog's environment, not the frog's friend. So who cares what the bog thinks? That's what the poem says about being a "somebody" who gets noticed by an admiring public. Frequently, the relationship is impersonal and distanced, not like a real friendship. Somebodies may have many admirers, but they might not be able to make those personal connections that real friendship offers.

The poem's first stanza tells how the speaker meets a fellow "nobody" — a friend. Together, the two nobodies can enjoy each other's company and their shared anonymity. As a pair, they aren't really nobodies anymore. That's why the speaker says, "Don't tell! / They 'd banish us, you know." She understands that once you have another "nobody" at your side, you aren't really a "nobody" anymore. And she doesn't want to be banished or kicked out from what she sees as a society of nobodies.
Characteristics of Dickinson’s Poems
Feeling of deepest poignancy (辛酸) in
terms of wit; Her poems are short, fresh original. Images, bravery of thought, the beauty of expression She wrote in conventional form Did not always observe the rules
This unusual life helped Dickinson to feel a
bond with people who see themselves as being outsiders and unimportant. Yet, to think of her as a friendless hermit would be incorrect. In fact, the poet had a small number of intense and lasting friendships. These important relationships demonstrate the main idea expressed in "I'm Nobody": Companionship is the best remedy for a feeling of exclusion.
