21 August is celebrated as the Poet’s Day to appreciate the poets and their work. Read about the famous poet and the connection between music and poetry.

八月二十一日，人们在这一天庆祝诗人节，欣赏诗人们的诗作。让我们通过这篇文章来走近著名的诗人，了解音乐和诗歌之间的关系。

*Poet’s Day诗人节：联合国教科文组织（UNESCO）1999年提议将3.21设为诗人节，这是世界上第一次庆祝诗人节。该节日意在让各种教育程度的人们都能去认识诗歌的本质。20世纪90年代，英国于以相似主旨将8.21定为诗人节。1994年来，诗人节开始被广泛庆祝。最初只是单纯为欣赏诗歌，后逐渐发展为主题节日。诗人节2019年的主题为“自由”。

音乐和诗歌之间的关系是什么呢？

I believe different forms of art are a great source of inspiration for artists.For example, a musician can compose music by looking at pictures while an artist can write lyrics/poetry by looking at a painting. Similarly, a dancer can interpret the written music to express himself through dance while the composers can write music for a written song.

我认为对艺术家来说，不同的艺术类型都是他们灵感的绝妙来源。举例来说，一幅画作，音乐家看了可能会作曲，别的艺术家看了之后会写下诗词。那同样的，如果是一首乐曲，舞蹈家听了会通过舞蹈进行表现，而作曲家听了则会通过作曲进行表现。

An artist can express his emotions through various art forms like singing, painting, dancing, music, and poems.The one thing that’s common between music and poetry is the rhythm.

艺术家可以通过不同的艺术形式来表达他的情感，诸如歌唱、绘画、舞蹈、音乐以及诗歌。韵律是音乐和诗歌之间的一个共同点。

What is a poem?

什么是诗歌？

The poem is a composition of words used to express various emotions or ideas.The word “poetry” has a Greek origin which means “to make or to create”.

诗歌是由词而来的创作，用来表达各种各样的情感与想法。诗歌的英文“poetry”来源于希腊语，意为“制造与创作”。（poetry，来源于希腊语“poiesis”）

What is the difference between a poem, sonnet, and a rhyme?

诗歌与十四行诗在韵律上有什么区别？

A Sonnet is a poem consisting fourteen lines and many rhyme schemes, in English usually in iambic pentameter.An iambic pentameter refers to writing ten syllables per line including five iambs in a line.

十四行诗是一种十四行的诗歌，其写作涉及各种韵律技巧，在英文中通常体现为五步抑扬格。“五步抑扬格”指每行诗有十个音节，每行有五个抑扬格。（译者注：以下文诗歌为例“Shall I com·pare thee to a sum·mer’s day? Thou art more love·ly and more tem·pe·rate.”一行十个音节 syllable，两个音节为一音部 foot）

A typical line in a sonnet could be like:

这是典型的一行十四行诗：

*请注意这句诗中有十个音节，每个抑扬格之前都用橙色高亮标记出来了。

Let’s read one the famous Sonnets written by William Shakespeare during the 15th century.William Shakespeare is one of the greatest dramatists and poets who wrote more than thirty plays and more than one hundred sonnets.Sonnet 18 is one of the best-known of 154 sonnets written by William Shakespeare. It is also known by the name – Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

让我们来赏析一下15世纪威廉·莎士比亚写下的一首著名的十四行诗。莎士比亚是最伟大的戏剧家和诗人之一，他写下了三十余部戏剧和一百余首十四行诗。《第十八号十四行诗》是莎士比亚一百五十四首十四行诗中最著名的一首。这篇十四行诗也通常也被叫做——“能否把你比作夏日璀璨？”

1

Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?

能否把你比作夏日璀璨？

Thou art more lovely and more temperate:

你却比炎夏更可爱温存；

Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,

狂风摧残五月花蕊娇妍，

And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:

夏天匆匆离去毫不停顿。

Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,

苍天明眸有时过于灼热，

And often is his gold complexion dimmed;

金色脸容往往蒙上阴翳；

And every fair from fair sometime declines,

一切优美形象不免褪色，

By chance, or nature’s changing course, untrimmed:

偶然摧折或自然地老去。

But thy eternal summer shall not fade,

而你如仲夏繁茂不凋谢，

Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st;

秀雅风姿将永远翩翩；

Nor shall Death brag thou wander’st in his shade

死神无法逼你气息奄奄，

When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st:

你将永生于不朽诗篇。

So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,

只要人能呼吸眼不盲，

So long lives this, and this gives life to thee

这诗和你将千秋流芳。

What is a rhyme?

什么是韵律？

The rhyme is a poem with repetition of similar sounds often at the end of alternate lines. Remember those nursery rhymes?The Rhyme is always a Poem but, a Poem is not always a Rhyme.The poem may or may not contain the rhyming words at the end of each line. Poems without rhyme are known as “blank verse”.

韵律是诗歌中通常在每行末尾重复出现的相似音韵。还记得那些童谣中的韵脚么？有韵律的基本就是诗歌，但诗歌却不一定有韵律。诗歌每行最后不一定会有押韵的词。没有韵律的诗被叫做“无韵诗”。（通常用于表现唐突和不规则的诗句，若在跨行进行中则更为复杂）
