I’m going to teach you to read a basic poem.

I love teaching poetry.

我喜欢教诗歌。

And learning about poetry will help you improve your English speaking and writing abilities.

So be sure to stay until the end of the video because I will give you a quiz and some homework.

所以一定要等到视频结束，因为我会给你一个测验和一些作业。

Let's get started.

让我们开始吧。

So what is a poem?

那么什么是诗呢？

It's an arrangement of words written or spoken.

这是书面或口头单词的排列。

They usually rhyme.

它们通常押韵。

They are a great way to express your experiences, ideas, or emotions, in an artful way.

它们是巧妙地表达您的经历、想法或情感的好方法。

So, why do we write poetry?

那么，我们为什么要写诗呢？

Because poetry is beautiful and I want to share that beauty with you.

因为诗歌是美丽的，我想与你分享这种美丽。

Here is my poem. I wrote it.

这是我的诗。我写的。

So let's look at my poem and I’ll read it now.

那么让我们看看我的诗，我现在就读它。

“In the morning, when I’m alone, I like to watch the sun rise up.

“早上，当我一个人的时候，我喜欢看太阳升起。

I play soft music on my phone, I drink fresh coffee from my cup.

我在手机上播放轻柔的音乐，从杯子里喝新鲜的咖啡。

The sun is shining fresh and bright, The sky outside is clear and blue,

阳光明媚清新，外面的天空晴朗蔚蓝，

My mind is calm, My heart is light,

我的头脑平静，我的心轻松，

Today will be a good day, too.”

今天也会是美好的一天。”

So this is a short poem.

所以这是一首短诗。

And I want to teach you about rhyme.

我想教你押韵。

‘rhyme’ in poetry.

诗歌中的“韵”。

So let's look at the last words of each line.

那么让我们看看每行的最后一个词。

“alone” “alone”

“单独” “单独”

Does it rhyme with the word "up"?

与“向上”一词押韵吗？

“alone” “up” No.

“单独”“向上”不。

Rhyming words have a similar sound.

押韵的单词有相似的声音。

So “alone” and “up” don't rhyme

所以“alone”和“up”不押韵

but “alone” and “phone” do rhyme.

，但“alone”和“phone”押韵。

“alone” and “phone” have a similar sound.

“alone”和“phone”发音相似。

And “up” and “cup” have a similar sound.

而“up”和“cup”的发音相似。

So this is the rhyme scheme, or the rhyme pattern of this poem.

这就是这首诗的韵律或韵律模式。

This poem has different rhyming words, so we're going to call

这首诗有不同的押韵词，所以我们将

“alone” rhyme A

“单独”称为押韵 A

and “up” is rhyme B.

，“向上”是押韵 B。

And “phone” is A.

“电话”是 A。

And...

而……

“cup” is B.

“杯子”是 B。

“alone” “up” “phone” “cup”

“单独”“向上” “phone” “cup”

This is our rhyme pattern or our rhyme scheme.

这是我们的韵律模式或我们的韵律方案。

And in the next part, it's very similar.

在下一部分中，情况非常相似。

“bright” and “blue” don't rhyme

“bright”和“blue”不押韵

but “bright” rhymes with “light”

，但“bright”与“light”押韵

and “blue” rhymes with “too”

，“blue”与“too”押韵

so...

，所以……

these are new words we'll label them

这些是新词，我们将它们标记为

C, “bright”

C、“bright”

and “blue” is D,

和“blue” ”是D，

“light” is C

“光”是C

and “too” is D.

，“太”是D。

So these are our rhyming patterns for this poem.

所以这些是这首诗的押韵模式。

Not all poems have to rhyme.

并不是所有的诗都必须押韵。

But it's very nice when they do.

但当他们这样做的时候真是太好了。

It's something good to try.

这是值得尝试的好事情。

It's traditional.

这是传统的。

So this is our rhyme and our rhyming pattern.

这就是我们的押韵和押韵模式。

And also, in poems we need a stanza.

而且，在诗歌中我们需要一个诗节。

This poem has two stanzas, or two parts.

这首诗有两节，或者说是两个部分。

So a stanza is a part of a poem.

所以一节是一首诗的一部分。

This is part one. This is part two.

这是第一部分。这是第二部分。

Some poems have many many stanzas but this poem has only two.

有些诗有很多很多节，但这首诗只有两节。

A stanza can be two lines long.

一节可以有两行长。

But my stanzas are four lines.

但我的诗节是四行。

And you can write as many as you want.

而且你想写多少就写多少。

But a simple poem will be one or two stanzas.

但一首简单的诗只有一两节。

Also, in my poem, there are many images, there are many pictures of things.

而且，在我的诗里，有很多意象，有很多事物的图画。

When you write a poem you want to add some images.

当你写一首诗时，你想添加一些图像。

It says, “I like to watch the sun rise up,”

它说，“我喜欢看太阳升起”，

“The sun” is an image.

“太阳”是一个图像。

“I play soft music on my phone, ” “The phone” is an image.

“我在手机上播放轻柔的音乐”，“手机”是一个图像。

“I drink fresh coffee from my cup, ” “cup” is an image.

“我用杯子喝新鲜的咖啡”，“杯子”是一个意象。

So when you write a poem, maybe you can put in some pictures of things.

所以当你写一首诗的时候，也许你可以放入一些事物的图片。

Also when you finish adding your images,

另外，当您完成添加图像后，

if you want to add some repeating words to your poem.

如果您想在诗歌中添加一些重复的单词。

Do you see any repeating words in my poem?

你看到我的诗中有重复的词吗？

I think the word ‘I’ repeats.

我认为“我”这个词重复了。

“I like to watch” “I play music”

“我喜欢看”“我播放音乐”

“I drink fresh coffee” “I... I... I...”

“我喝新鲜咖啡”“我...我...我...”

And in other places, too.

在其他地方也是如此。

“My mind is calm” “My heart is light”

“我的心很平静”“我的心很轻”

So repeating words are also beautiful in a poem.

所以重复的话在诗中也很美。

You don't have to repeat words,

你不必重复单词，

but they make the poem more lovely.

但它们使这首诗变得更加可爱。

So that is our images and our repeating words.

这就是我们的图像和我们重复的话语。

So are… uh… so our images were

所以……呃……所以我们的图像是

“sun”

“太阳”

and “phone”

、“手机”

and “cup”.

和“杯子”。

And there's one more thing a poem needs that this poem does not have.

还有一件事是一首诗所需要的，而这首诗却没有。

A poem needs a title.

So, everyone… what do you think?

“夏天”是一个很好的标题，

so I will write the word ‘Summer’ here.

所以我在这里写下“夏天”这个词。

So if our title is “Summer,” let's think about some images that go with summer.

因此，如果我们的标题是“夏天”，让我们考虑一些与夏天相关的图像。

I think we all think about the sun in summer.

我想我们都会想到夏天的阳光。

So what rhymes with “sun,” everybody? “sun” rhymes with “ton”.

But also, when it's hot outside, what do you want?

但当外面很热时，你想要什么？

I usually want to drink something cold. I want to drink soda or an icy drink.

我通常想喝点冷的东西。我想喝苏打水或冰镇饮料。

So my first line, I think will be about drinking something cold.

And second line, I want to end on that word “sun”.

So we have the cool drink and the hot weather.

But our next rhyming word “can” - and what rhymes with “can”?

但是我们的下一个押韵词“can”——什么与“can”押韵？

“tan” and “ran” and “man”

So let's try the word “plan”.

那么让我们尝试一下“plan”这个词。

So do you remember the rhyme scheme?

那么你还记得押韵方案吗？

“can” and “plan” rhyme

“can”和“plan”押韵

and “sun” and “fun” rhyme,

and “sun,” “fun.”

和“sun”、“fun”。

And you might notice that at the end of some of my lines, I have commas.

你可能会注意到，在我的一些行的末尾，我有逗号。

And at the end of the last line, I have a period.

在最后一行的末尾，我有一个句号。

This is because when you write a poem, it's okay to be unstructured.

这是因为当你写一首诗时，没有结构性是可以的。

It's okay to change the rules.

So in my poem, I begin with capital letters and I end with commas and a period,
