惠特曼《啊,船长,我的船长哟》精品课件
在惠特曼从事诗歌创作的年代，控制美 国诗坛的是所谓“高雅派”诗人，他们一 味以模仿英国诗歌为能事，而当时的英国 诗歌也浪漫主义的末流，这种诗风在美国 产生的只能是等而下之的仿制品。 惠特曼来了，带着手脚上的泥土和 草叶，带着汗珠和露水，从码头、田野、 矿山、街市走来，放开嗓门，大胆高歌， 带着开天辟地的一个崭新的“人的姿 态”——他一开口就是一个崭新的文明的 声音----这就是“新兴的美国文明”的声 音。
3、林肯称呼的转换对情感表达的作用。
每节开头，诗人直称林肯为“我的船 长” ，表达了一个士兵，一个水手，抒发对 自己的统帅亲切爱戴之情。
第1节末句“他”，林肯之死的突然，使诗 人在震惊中感情麻木而没有感到过度的悲伤， 只是当作一件客观事件 来接受，来陈述。
第2节，诗人称林肯为“亲爱的父亲”， 把他当作最亲近的人，这比上节只称林肯 为船长感情更近一层。 末句“你”，诗人从震惊中惊醒，悲 伤涌上他的心头，但是他在感情上不能接 受这样的现实，他不肯相信船长已经死去， 他对船长仍用“你”来称谓，表示船长和 他一样，仍是在人世间活生生的人，只是 暂时“倒下来”而已。
南北战争是美国历史上第二次资产阶 级民主革命。这次革命的成功促进了美 国资本主义的发展。林肯总统为美国历 史写下了光辉的一页，功勋卓著。在全 国欢庆大胜利的时刻，对民主怀有刻骨 仇恨的南方奴隶主派间谍暗杀了林肯总 统。在林肯总统死后，惠特曼写下了 《啊，船长，我的船长哟!》这首诗， 以表达对林肯的痛悼与怀念之情。
惠特曼
林肯
林肯是惠特曼心中长期盼望的政治 家，惠特曼把林肯看作是自由、民主、 平等的象征，林肯的出现给惠特曼的后 半生带来了新的力量和信心。
本诗写作背景
1783年，美国脱离英国的统治独立后， 国内存在着雇佣劳动制和黑人奴隶制。 1860年11月，以反对奴隶制而著名的林 肯当选为美国总统。南方几个州宣布脱 离联邦政府而独立，1861年4月，又首先 出兵叛乱，引发了内战。林肯总统上任 不到半年，就领导联邦政府军，在广大 人民的支持下，经过了四年的奋战，击 败了南方叛军，维护了美国的统一，废 除了黑人奴隶制。

O Captain! My Captain!
• O Captain! my Captain! our fearful trip is done, • The ship has weathered every rack, the prize we sought is won, • The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting, • While follow eyes the steady keel, the vessel grim and daring: • But O heart! heart! heart! • O the bleeding drops of red, • Where on the deck my Captain lies, • Fallen cold and dead.

On July 4, 2005, we celebrated the 150th anniversary of what is possibly the greatest book of American poetry ever written. in 1855, Walt Whitman published his first edition of Leaves of Grass, a slim volume consisting of twelve untitled poems and a preface.
Some of his many subjects included slavery, democracy, the various occupations and types of work, the American landscape, the sea, the natural world, the Civil War, education, aging, death and immortality, poverty, romantic love, spirituality, and social change.

作者简介
惠特曼简介：华尔特· 惠特曼（Walt Whitman 1819-1892）美 国浪漫主义最伟大的诗人，生于美国长岛一个海滨小村庄。 父亲当时是个无地的农民。惠特曼5岁那年全家迁移到布鲁 克林，父亲在那儿做木工，承建房屋，惠特曼在那儿开始上 小学。由于生活穷困，惠特曼只读了5年小学。他当过信差， 学过排字，后来当过乡村教师和编辑。这段生活经历使他广 泛地接触人民，接触大自然，对后来的诗歌创作产生了极大 的影响。1841年以后，他又回到了纽约，开始当印刷工人， 不久就改当记者，并开始写作。几年以后，他成了一家较有 名望的报纸《鹫鹰报》的主笔，不断撰写反对奴隶制，反对 雇主剥削的论文和短评。40年代未他加入了“自由土地党”， 反对美国的蓄奴制，主张土地改革。
ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ
作者简介
1848年西欧各国爆发了革命，对惠特曼影响很大。他在报纸 上发表文章沤歌欧洲革命，并写了不少诗来表达自己的心境， 其中包括《欧洲》、《法兰西》、《近代的岁月》等等。 1850年起他脱离新闻界，重操他父亲的旧业——当木匠和建 筑师。这期间，他创作了他的代表作诗集《草叶集》 （1855）。 1861年美国南北战争爆发。内战结束后他自费 发表了反映内战的诗篇《桴鼓集》(1865)。几个月后他又出 版了一本续集，其中有悼念林肯的名篇《最近紫丁香在庭院 里开放的时候》，《哦，船长！我的船长》等等。
草叶
草叶是最普通、最有生命力的东西，象征着
当时正在蓬勃发展的美国。诗集通过“自我” 感受和“自我”形象，热情歌颂了资本主义 上升时期的美国。
赏析
这首诗内涵深广，气象恢宏。表面上好似诗人仅在 凸显自己，实际上诗人在借用“自己”二字，表现 一个大“我”，即改造大自然、开放新大陆、建设 新大陆的美国广大劳动群众，歌颂的是19世纪美国 的民主代表，张扬的是自由、开放的个性。因而诗 中的“自己”被赋予了两重性，一是具体的我，二 是象征性的群体的“我”，“自己”是一个综合形 象。诗人置身于劳动者之中，诗中的“自己”，也 是美国式“新人”的形象。
