Poems
Do you still remember any little
poems or songs you learnt when
you were a child?
Find out something special
at the end of the lines rhyme (押韵)
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are.
Up above the world so high,
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Do you like poems?
Have you ever read
some?
Those who are gone I can not see;
Those who are to come will not see
me.
前不见古人，后不见来者
If winter comes,
Will spring be far
Odebehind?
to the west wind
(西风颂)
Shelley
Very quietly I take my leave
As quietly as I came here;
Quietly I wave good-bye
To the rosy clouds in the western sky.
Saying Good-bye to Cambridge Again
If you would ask me how my sorrow
has increased,
Just see the over-brimming river
flowing
《虞美人》
east!
问君能有几多愁, 恰似一江春水向东流。
——李煜
To be or not to be, this is a
question.
生存还是毁灭，那是个值得思考的问题
Shakespeare
I look for her in vain.
When all at once I turn my head,
I find her there where lantern light is
dimly shed.
众里寻他千百度, 蓦然回首,
那人却在灯火阑珊处。
---poet (辛弃
疾)
How long will the bright moon appear?
Wine-cup in hand, I ask the sky.
I do not know what time of year,
It would be tonight in the palace on
high.
水调歌头
明月几时有? 把酒问青天。
不知天上宫阙, 今夕是何年?
---poet (苏
轼)
