flea
John donne
Mark except this flea, mark is here,
How little you deny me;
I suck first, and now I suck you [2],
In this flea, our two kinds of blood are mixed together;
You know this is not to be said.
A sin, or shame, or loss of virginity,
However, before it courted,
One person's blood consists of two people,
Alas, this is beyond our power.
Oh, don't go, there are three lives in a flea nest,
We're almost, not just married.
This flea is you and me, and this.
Our marriage bed and marriage hall are;
Although parents are reluctant, and you, we met,
Living in seclusion in these walls of jet.
Although using it will make you want to kill me
No, self-murder,
And blasphemy [7], three kills and three sins.
Cruel and sudden, since you
Dye your nails with innocent blood?
What crime will this flea commit?
Except for the drop I took from you?
However, you won, saying that you
Don't find that you and I are weak now;
This is true; Then learn how false fear is:
So many honors, when you give in to me,
Will be wasted, just like the death of this flea can't see your life.
Precautions:
1. In old English, it is the nominative form of you.
2. They: In old English, they are the object form of you.
3. On this flea, the blood of both of us is mixed: this sentence is the key sentence of this poem, which says, "In this flea's body, the blood of both of us is mixed with each other."
4. Oh, silly, a flea has three lives: "Oh, wait, don't strangle this flea, because it (sucks the blood of two people) integrates three lives."
5. Resentment: disgust, resentment.
6. Use: = habit.
7. blasphemy: blasphemy.
8.hast: In old English, it is equivalent to the present tense of the second person singular of have, and the subject is thought.
9. purple: thy is used in old English, equivalent to your, your. Strangled the flea, so the blood dyed the nail red and turned it into "purple". This shows that the poet's language is funny and interesting.
[English Prose]-Smile
smile
"I'm sure I will be killed. I became very nervous. I clumsily
[1] In my pocket, I checked to see if there were any cigarettes, and escaped [2]
Their search. I found one, because my hands are shaking, I can hardly bring it to my lips. But I didn't have any matches. They took them. "I looked at my jailer through the fence. He didn't make eye contact with me. I shouted to him, "Do you have a light?" He looked at me, shrugged his shoulders and came over to light my cigarette. When he approached and lit the match, his eyes met mine by accident. At that moment, I smiled I don't know why I did that. Maybe it's nervousness, maybe it's because it's hard not to laugh when you are close to each other. Anyway, I smiled. At that moment, it seemed as if a spark crossed the gap between our two hearts and our two human souls. I knew he didn't want to do this, but my smile crossed the fence and made his mouth smile. He lit my cigarette, but stayed nearby, looked me straight in the eye and continued to smile.
"I have been smiling at him, and now I realize that he is a person, not just a jailer. The way he looked at me also took on a new meaning. "Do you have children?" he asked. "'Yes, here, here.' I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for photos of my family. He also took out photos of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes are full of tears. I said I was afraid that I would never see my family again, and I would never have a chance to watch them grow up. He also had tears in his eyes. Suddenly, without saying anything, he opened my cell and took me out silently. Get out of prison, quietly, through the back door, out of town. There, on the edge of town, he let me go. Without saying a word, he turned and walked towards the town.
"A smile saved my life." Yes, smile-an unaffected, unplanned and natural connection between people ... I really believe that if your part and my part can recognize each other, we will not be enemies. We can't have hatred, jealousy or fear.
smile
"I can't help falling into extreme fear at the thought of dying tomorrow. I rummaged through my pockets and finally found a cigarette that they didn't take away, but my hands were too nervous to put it in my mouth, and my matches were taken away during the search. " I looked at the guards outside through the fence. He didn't notice that I was looking at him. I called him, "Can I borrow a light from you?" He turned to look at me, shrugged his shoulders, and then came over and lit my cigarette. "When he helped me light the fire, his eyes inadvertently touched mine, and then I suddenly smiled at him. I don't know why there is such a reaction. Maybe I'm too nervous, or it's hard not to smile when you're so close to another person. Whatever the reason, I smiled at him. At this moment, this smile, like a spark, broke the gap between our hearts. Infected by me, he smiled unconsciously, although I knew he didn't mean it. He didn't leave immediately after lighting the fire. He stared at me with a smile on his face.
"I also responded with a smile, as if he were a friend, not a guard who guarded me. He looked at me less fiercely. "Do you have children?" he asked. "'Yes, look.' I took out my wallet and fumbled for my family photo. He also took out photos and began to talk about his expectations and plans for his family. At this time, my eyes filled with tears, and I said that I was afraid that I would never see my family again. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to watch the children grow up. He also shed two lines of tears. "Suddenly, he opened the door of the prison without saying a word, quietly took me out of the prison from the back path, out of the town, to the edge of the town, he let me go, and then turned and walked back without leaving a word.
"Smiling can actually save a person's life." "Yes, smiling is the most natural and sincere way of communication between people. If you can know each other with your heart, there will be no regret of making enemies; Hatred, jealousy and fear will also disappear.
Background introduction:
Smile is the work of French writer Antoine de Saiot Exupery. Saint Exupery was a pilot who was shot down and died in World War II. Before that, he also participated in the Spanish civil war against fascism. Based on this experience, he wrote a wonderful story-smiling. His masterpiece The Little Prince is a fairy tale that Americans are familiar with.
Precautions:
1. Clumsy: We can always see shots of men who like smoking touching cigarettes everywhere. Clumsy is a more appropriate verb to describe their actions. Nervously groping for the pictures mentioned below is also used to describe the scene that "the protagonist is nervously searching for photos in his wallet"; Now, if you see someone looking through books for what he wants, you can boldly use fumle to describe his behavior. You can say that he is looking through books for a place.
2. Escape is a naughty word, always "escape from here, escape from there". Escaped their search here literally means "(smoke) escaped their search", that is, "smoke that has not been searched by them"; I'm afraid I can't remember your name. I seem to have forgotten your name, which means I'm afraid I can't remember your name. If you are a teacher, you may seriously say to naughty students in class: Nothing can escape my attention. Now, it's time for those students to listen to the class.
Shrugging means "shrugging". For example, when you tell your friend a news, "She just shrugged after hearing the news", you can describe it as "She shrugged when hearing the news". Because we often use shrugging to express the mentality of "not interested" or "indifferent", shrugging can be extended to mean "indifferent, indifferent, indifferent". For example, in court, the judge has sentenced a corrupt criminal, but this person still protested angrily, so it seems that "people just shrugged their shoulders contemptuously at his protest." "
4. Dimensions: If you already know that dimensions are used to express "size, area and size", then you will be confused about what a new dimension here means. But think about it, since the dimension represents the "length, width and height" of things, it is equivalent to all aspects of things, so "a new dimension" here is equivalent to "a new aspect". From the context, it can be inferred that this "new aspect" is the change of the jailer's attitude towards "heroes". From the initial "fierceness", if you find new characteristics in your boyfriend, you can tell him that I have found a new dimension of your personality. I promise he'll let you tell him about the new dimension.
