生如夏花

1、诗歌共五个诗节，三部分（structure）

*第一部分：第一、二诗节主要写作者对生死的认知，即“生如夏花之璀璨，死如秋叶之静美”

The first and second verse mainly describe authors’ acknowledge to life and death, which is “life be beautiful like summer flowers and death like autumn leaves”.

*第二部分：第三诗节主要写人生中对爱情的认知；

The third verse mainly describes the acknowledge to love in the whole life.

第三部分：四五诗节是对全诗的总结，再次强调诗歌的主旨，表达自己对生命的认知。

The fourth and fifth verse summarize the whole poem, emphasize the motif of poem again, and show himself the cognition of life.

2、每一节的内容分析Appreciation:

第一节：运用了欲扬先抑的写法，先给读者以绝望之感，随后又用“终有绿洲摇曳在沙漠”，让读者眼前一亮，心中的沮丧被一扫而光，似乎一个孤独的行者看到了旅途中的伴侣。Giving the reader a sense of hopelessness, and then "eventually swaying in the desert oasis", swept the reader depression away; it seems to be a lonely traveler saw travel companion.

第二节：运用先扬后抑的写法，先描写了一幅纯净安宁的画面，随后笔锋又转到秋叶的落幕。The poem first describes a picture of pure tranquility, and then writes the curtain of the autumn leaves

第三节：作者表达了对爱情的看法，爱情给我们的生命带来信念，人生注定会与爱恨情仇纠葛不断。

The author expressed the views on love. Love brings faith to our lives, and life is doomed to intertwine with love and hate.

第四节：生命的意义并不在于获得多少或者拥有多少，而在于以怎样的态度看待她。

Life is not what you have, but the attitude what you think of her.

3、如何理解“生来如同璀璨的夏日之花”？

明确：在作者眼里，夏日之花是“不凋不败，妖冶如火”的，她不像春日里的繁花，沐浴着和煦的春风，满含娇羞之色，夏日之花盛开在骄阳下，更加代表着一种蓬勃而出的生命力，是奔放而热烈的。即使心跳剧烈，呼吸急促，也能够“乐此不疲”，因为这剧烈的心跳和急促的呼吸对于夏日之花而言意味着生命的勃发，代表着一种热烈的气息。

In the eyes of the author, summer flowers bloom in the hot summer sun instead being like spring flowers what is bathed in the warm spring breeze, full of charming color. So summer flowers are filled with more vigorous vitality.

4、分析“死时如同静美的秋日落叶”。

明确：此句和前面写“生如璀璨的夏日之花”前后呼应，表达自己对生死的看法，那是生命结束时的一种轻盈、飘逸和安然，“不盛不乱，姿态如烟”，即便生命走向了终点，但并不意

味着一切的结束，不是纷纷然的混乱，也不是无尽的恐惧，而是迈着飘逸的步子，留下一个轻盈的背影，走向另一个开始。这是作者对生命的参悟，其中融入了一些宗教思想，面对死亡，应感激他带给我们的充实的生命，带着一种达观的情绪看待生命的结束，正如庄子鼓盆而歌一样，何不把死亡看成是一种自然的现象，正如四季轮回一般去看待呢？

“Born as the bright summer flowers” and “Died as the quiet beauty of autumn leaves” are well joined.“Died as the quiet beauty of autumn leaves” shows the author’s view to life and death. Even if life comes to an end, it doesn't mean it's over but a new beginning.

没打在ppt上：

（用第一人称来叙述更能让读者身临其境。第一节和第二节结构形式对称，对照使之集中在一个完整的艺术统一体中，加强文章的艺术效果和感染力。第一节和第五节首尾呼应.

It can let the reader into the scene using the first person to describe the poetry.

The first and second sections are symmetrical in form.

Contrast makes things centered in a complete artistic unity, enhancing the artistic effect andinfectivity.

The first and the fifth section are inclusio.）

5、修辞

1、拟人：让诗充满生命力，寓情于景。

2、比喻，作者将自己比喻成夏花、秋叶，表达了自己对生活的热爱以及对生命的释然
