高二英语教案：《Unit 4 A garden of poems》教学设计（三）(5)

　　哀希腊

　　拜伦

　　希腊群岛呵，美丽的希腊群岛！

　　火热的萨弗在这里唱过恋歌；

　　在这里，战争与和平的艺术并兴，

　　狄洛斯崛起，阿波罗跃出海面！

　　永恒的夏天还把海岛镀成金，

　　可是除了太阳，一切已经消沉。

　　开奥的缪斯，蒂奥的缪斯，

　　那英雄的竖琴，恋人的琵琶，

　　原在你的岸上博得了声誉，

　　而今在这发源地反倒喑哑；

　　呵，那歌声已远远向西流传，

　　远超过你祖先的“海岛乐园”。

　　起伏的山峦望着马拉松－

　　马拉松望着茫茫的海波；

　　我独自在那里冥想一刻钟，

　　梦想希腊仍旧自由而欢乐；

　　因为，当我在波斯墓上站立，

　　我不能想象自己是个奴隶。

　　starry starry night

　　paint your palette blue and grey

　　look out on a summer's day

　　with eyes that know the darkness in my soul.

　　shadows on the hills

　　sketch the trees and the daffodils

　　catch the breeze and the winter chills

　　in colors on the snowy linen land.

　　and now i understand what you tried to say to me

　　how you suffered for your sanity

　　how you tried to set them free.

　　they would not listen

　　they did not know how

　　perhaps they'll listen now.

　　starry starry night

　　flaming flo'rs that brightly blaze

　　swirling clouds in violet haze reflect in

　　vincent's eyes of china blue.

　　colors changing hue

　　morning fields of amber grain

　　weathered faces lined in pain

　　are smoothed beneath the artist's

　　loving hand.

　　and now i understand what you tried to say to me

　　how you suffered for your sanity

　　how you tried to set them free.

　　perhaps they'll listen now.

　　for they could not love you

　　but still your love was true

　　and when no hope was left in sight on that starry

　　starry night.

　　you took your life as lovers often do;

　　but i could have told you vincent

　　this world was never meant for one

　　as beautiful as you.

　　starry starry night

　　portraits hung in empty halls

　　frameless heads on nameless walls

　　with eyes that watch the world and can't forget.

　　like the stranger that you've met

　　the ragged men in ragged clothes

　　the silver thorn of bloddy rose

　　lie crushed and broken

　　on the virgin snow.

　　and now i think i know what you tried to say to me

　　how you suffered for your sanity

　　how you tried to set them free.

　　they would not listen

　　they're not list'ning still

　　perhaps they never will.
