英文浪漫的话 你是他的整个世界

For world、you only be a person,but for me、you are the world.对于世界、你只是一个人,但对于我、你是整个世界

It’s the most important thing to love you.爱你,是比任何事都重要的事。

Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile. 纵然伤心,也不要愁眉不展,因为你不知是谁会爱上你的笑容。

No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won’t make you cry. 没有人值得你流泪,值得让你这么做的人不会让你哭泣。

The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them. 失去某人,最糟糕的莫过于,他近在身旁,却犹如远在天边。

To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world. 对于世界而言,你是一个人;但是对于某个人,你是他的整个世界。

 

第二篇:三位英文浪漫诗人简介

Byron, George Gordon

Byron, George Gordon, 6th Baron (1788-1824), British poet and satirist. In 1798 he inherited the barony and an ancestral Nottinghamshire mansion, Newstead Abbey. His first volume of poems, Hours of Idleness (1807), was attacked in the Edinburgh Review; Byron responded with his satire English Bards and Scotch Reviewers (1809). His travels during 1809-11 to Spain, Malta, Albania, and Greece provided material for Childe Harold's Pilgrimage (1812-18), which presents in the pilgrim the prototype of the truly 'Byronic Hero', aloof, cynical, and rebellious; on publication of the first two cantos (1812) Byron was lionized by aristocratic and literary circles. After a series of much-publicized love affairs he lived with his half-sister Augusta Leigh, whose daughter (born 1814) was probably his. His marriage to Annabella Milbanke in 1815 ended the same year, after the birth of their daughter Ada. Amid mounting debts Byron left England in 1816, ostracized and embittered. He lived briefly in Geneva with the Shelleys and Claire Clairmont (who bore Byron a daughter, Allegra, in 1817), wrote The Prisoner of Chillon (1816), the poetic drama Manfred (1817), and finally settled in Italy. In Venice he wrote the satirical poem Beppo (1818), finding in ottava rima a new ironic colloquial style which he fully developed in Don Juan (1819-24), an epic satire of great wit and irony, much admired by Goethe. He now became deeply attached to Teresa, Countess Guiccioli, and 1

involved with the Italian nationalist cause. A new interest in drama led to several poetic dramas, including Sardanapalus (1821), and Cain (1821). Byron's poetry, although condemned on moral grounds, exerted great influence on Romantic poetry, music, the novel, opera, and painting in Britain and Europe. He was passionate for the cause of Greek liberation from the Ottoman Turks, and gave generously to the insurgent Greeks. He sailed to Missolonghi in mainland Greece, where he set up the 'Byron brigade', but before he saw any serious fighting he died of fever. His influence on later artists, more as a hero figure than because of his work, has been immense.

William Wordsworth

Born at Cockermouth, William Wordsworth developed a keen love of nature as a youth, and during school vacation periods he frequently visited places noted for their scenic beauty, which heightened Wordsworth’s exhilarated response to the grandeur of nature. Wordsworth had a long poetic career. His first volumes were written in the tradition of the 18th-century feeling for natural description. But the Lyrical Ballads differs in marked ways from his early poetry, notably the uncompromising simplicity of much of the language, the strong sympathy not merely with the poor in general but with particular, dramatized examples of them, and the fusion of natural description with expressions 2

of inward states of mind. But as he advanced in age ,Wordsworth’s poetic vision and inspiration dulled, his later more rhetorial and moralistic poems cannot be compared to the lyrics of his youth, although a number of them are illuminated by the spark of his former greatness.According to the subjects, Wordsworth’s short poems can be classified into two groups: poems about nature and poems about human life.Wordsworth is regarded as a “worshipper of nature”. He can penetrate to the heart of things and give the reader the very life of nature. To Wordsworth, nature acts as a substitute for imaginative and intellectual engagement with the development of embodied human beings in their diverse circumstances. It’s nature that gives him “strength and knowledge full of peace”.Wordsworth thinks that common life is the only subject of literary interest. The joys and sorrows of the common people are his themes. His sympathy always goes to the suffering poor. In “The Idiot Boy”, the irrational mind sees more deeply into the nature of life than the commonsensical. And the poem, “Michael”, however, most assuredly suggests the grave and dignity of Wordsworth’s meditations on “man”, the “heart of man, and human life”.Wordsworth is a poet in memory of the past. To him, life is a cyclical journey. Its beginning finally turns out to be its end. Hid philosophy of life is presented in his masterpiece The Prelude. The poem charts the growth from infancy to manhood. We are shown the development of human consciousness under the sway of an 3

imagination united to the grandeur of nature. Wordsworth’s deliberate simplicity and refusal to decorate the truth of experience produced a kind of pure and profound poetry which no other poet has ever equaled. His premise was that the source of poetic truth is the direct experience of the senses. Poetry, he asserted, originates from “emotion recollected in tranquillity”. Rejecting the contemporary emphasis on form and an intellectual approach that drained poetic writing of strong emotion, he maintained that the scenes and events of everyday life and the speech of ordinary people were the raw material of which poetry could and should be made.William Wordsworth is the leading figure of the English romantic poetry, the focal poetic voice of the period. His poem is a voice of searchingly comprehensive humanity and one that inspires his audience to see the world freshly, sympathetically and naturally. The most important contribution he has made is that he has not only started the modern poetry, the poetry of the growing inner self, but also changed the course of English poetry by using ordinary speech of the language and by advocating a return to nature.

John Keats

John Keats died when he was only twenty-five, an age at which Wordsworth had still not begun to write the poems for which he is known today. The brevity and intensity of Keats's career are unmatched in 4

English poetry. He achieved so much at such a young age that readers have always speculated about his potential had he lived to reach artistic maturity.

Keats came from very humble origins. His father, the keeper of a livery stable, was killed in a fall from a horse when Keats was eight; his mother died of tuberculosis when he was fourteen. Keats had been fortunate enough as a boy to attend an excellent private school near London, where his teacher introduced him to poetry, music, and the theater. But soon after his mother died, his guardian, a hardheaded businessman, took Keats out of school and made him an apprentice to a surgeon and apothecary. In 1815 Keats continued his study of medicine more formally at Guy's Hospital in London. He qualified the next year to practice as an apothecary, but it was at this time that he decided, much to his guardian's displeasure, to devote his life to poetry.

Keats had become friends in London with Leigh Hunt, a well-known literary critic and political radical, who encouraged Keats to take himself seriously as a writer. Hunt also introduced him to other leading literary figures of the day, among whom were Hazlitt, Lamb, and Shelley. Hunt and his circle provided Keats with a friendly and encouraging audience. But Keats had his difficulties at first. Some of his early poems lack the control and originality of expression that characterize his best verse. A long mythological poem entitled Endymion, published in 1818, was 5

severely attacked by conservative reviewers, and at least some of their criticisms were justified. Keats himself realized that Endymion had its faults, that in writing it he was learning and experimenting "fitting myself for verses fit to live," as he says in the preface. He was already at work on an even more ambitious project, an epic inspired by Milton's Paradise Lost, which he was to call Hyptrim. Keats was driven by an increasingly independent sense of his own artistic potential, and by a burning ambition lo measure himself against the greatest English poets: Spenser, Shakespeare, Milton, and Wordsworth.

The year 1818 was a difficult one for Keats. He was able to take the negative reviews of Endymion in his stride, but personal problems began to weigh heavily on him. As the eldest of four children, Keats felt a special responsibility and closeness to his two brothers and his sister. When his brother George, who had emigrated to America, ran into financial difficulties. Keats worked hard to earn extra money To help him. His younger brother Tom contracted tuberculosis, and Keats cared for him constantly, running the risk, as he well knew, of contracting the disease himself. In the autumn of 1818, Keats fell desperately in love with Fanny Brawne, a pretty, vivacious girl to whom he soon became engaged. But by this time Keats's own poor health, poverty, and relentless devotion to poetry made an immediate marriage impossible. The year came to a dismal end with Tom's death in December.
