2019-04-27 554人浏览
SSAT考试,是美国中学入学考试,随着留学人数逐年在增加,参加SSAT考试的学生越来越多,考试竞争力就变得越来越大,在这么大竞争力下,同学们该如何备考才能脱颖而出呢?今天小编就为大家带来SSAT阅读考试的诗歌部分,在国内阅读考试诗歌部分是很常见的考题,所以大家可能也就适应了,但是对于国内考试用英语考诗歌部分就没有那么简单了,英语表达和中午表达完全不一样,所以这就是国内学生失分的原因,下面和小编一起看看关于SSAT阅读考试中的阅读真题吧。

献给一位英年早逝的运动员
诗歌开头描写运动员生前赢得比赛,人们将他举到肩高欢送回家的场面
第二段开始描写运动员死后葬礼的情形。同样是将他扛到肩高,同样的是送他回家,这次的家却在一个更加安静的小镇,那是逝者的家园。
作者在第三段段开始表明自己赞赏的态度。聪明的小伙子,你适时地溜走。因为荣耀从不长存,虽说你早早获得桂冠,但是象征荣耀的桂冠比玫瑰凋谢得还快。
后面的shady night实指死亡,死亡像黑夜一样遮住了眼睛,死后泥土将运动员掩埋,耳朵也听不见任何欢呼了。
现在这位运动员永远不用担心自己会加入那些失败者的行列了。那些失败者已经没有了荣誉,对名誉望成莫及,名字已经被人们所遗忘。
倒数第二段中有一个暗喻,即把死亡比作是一道门,所以会有sill 和 lintel,分别是门的下面和上面,无论是奔跑的脚步踏上门槛,还是将被被举高到门楣,都意味着正式迈进死亡的入口
To an Athlete Dying Young
The time you won your town the race
We chaired you through the market-place;
Man and boy stood cheering by,
And home we brought you shoulder-high.
Today, the road all runners come,
Shoulder-high we bring you home,
And set you at your threshold down,
Townsman of a stiller town.
Smart lad, to slip betimes away
From fields where glory does not stay,
And early though the laurel grows
It withers quicker than the rose.
Eyes the shady night has shut
Cannot see the record cut,
And silence sounds no worse than cheers
After earth has stopped the ears.
Now you will not swell the rout
Of lads that wore their honors out
Runners whom renown outran
And the name died before the man.
So set, before its echoes fade,
The fleet foot on the sill of shade,
And hold to the low lintel up
The still-defended challenge-cup.
And round that early-laurelled head
Will flock to gaze the strength less dead,
And find unwithered on its curls
The garland briefer than a girl’s.
