1.适合朗诵的英文诗歌What I Have Lived For Three passions, simple but overwhelmingly strong, have governed my life: the longing for love, the search for knowledge, and unbearable pity for the suffering of mankind. These passions, like great winds, have blown me hither and thither, in a wayward course, over a deep ocean of anguish, reaching to the very verge of despair. I have sought love, first, because it brings ecstasy---ecstasy so great that I would often have sacrificed all the rest of my life for a few hours for this joy. I have sought it, next, because it relieves loneliness---that terrible loneliness in which one shivering consciousness looks over the rim of the world into the cold unfathomable lifeless abyss. I have sought it, finally, because in the union of love I have seen, in a mystic miniature, the prefiguring vision of the heaven that saints and poets have imagined. This is what I sought, and though it might seem too good for human life, this is what---at last---I have found. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. I have wished to understand the hearts of men. I have wished to know why the stars shine. And I have tried to apprehend the Pythagorean power by which number holds sway above the flux. A little of this, but not much, I have achieved. Love and knowledge, so far as they were possible, led upward toward the heavens. But always pity brought me back to earth. Echoes of cries of pain reverberate in my heart. Children in famine, victims tortured by oppressors, helpless old people a hatred burden to their sons, and the whole world of loneliness, poverty, and pain make a mockery of what human life should be. I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, and I too suffer. This has been my life. I have found it worth living, and would gladly live it again if the chance were offered me. 译文： 我为何而生 我的一生被三种简单却又无比强烈的激情所控制：对爱的渴望，对知识的探索和对人类苦难难以抑制的屿。 这些激情像狂风，把我恣情吹向四方，掠过苦痛的大海，迫使我濒临绝望的边缘。 我寻求爱，首先因为它使我心为之着迷，这种难以名状的美妙迷醉使我愿意用所有的余生去换取哪怕几个小时这样的幸福。 我寻求爱，还因为它能缓解我心理上的孤独中，我感觉心灵的战栗，仿如站在世界的边缘而面前是冰冷，无底的死亡深渊。我寻求爱，因为在我所目睹的结合中，我仿佛看到了圣贤与诗人们所向往的天堂之景。 这就是我所寻找的，虽然对人的一生而言似乎有些遥不可及，但至少是我用尽一生所领悟到的。 我用同样的激情去寻求知识。 我希望能理解人类的心灵，希望能够知道群星闪烁的缘由。我试图领悟毕达哥拉斯所景仰的“数即万物”的思想。 我已经悟出了其中的一点点道理，尽管并不是很多。 爱和知识，用它们的力量把人引向天堂。 但是同情却总把人又拽回到尘世中来。痛苦的呼喊声回荡在我的内心。 饥饿的孩子，受压迫的难民，贫穷和痛苦的世界，都是对人类所憧憬的美好生活的无情嘲弄。我渴望能够减少邪恶，但是我无能为力，我也难逃其折磨。 这就是我的一生。我已经找到它的价值。 而且如果有机会，我很愿意能再活它一次。 When Love Beckons You When love beckons to you, follow him, though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you, yield to him, though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you, believe in him, though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning. Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun, so shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. But if, in your fear, you would seek only love's peace and love's pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of love's threshing-floor, into the seasonless world where you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Love gives naught but it self and takes naught but from itself. Love possesses not, nor would it be possessed, for love is sufficient unto love. Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if you love and must have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at the noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a payer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise upon your lips. 译文： 爱的召唤 当爱召唤你时，请。 2.适合朗诵的英文诗爱尔兰民间有一首家喻户晓的诗，Mother Machree，也是歌颂伟大的母爱 Mother Machree 慈母颂 There's a spot in my heart which no colleen may own; There's a depth in my soul never sounded or known; 在我心中有那么一隅， 任何少女也不能占据。 它埋在我灵魂的深处， 我从不声张从不表露。 There's a place in my memory my life that you fill; No other can take it no one ever will; 在我的记忆里， 生活充满着你。 别人不能替代， 永远也无例外。 Every sorrow or care in the dear days gone by; Was made bright by the light of the smile in your eye; 逝去的欢乐日子里， 也曾有烦恼和忧伤。 但你眸中微笑的光， 总可以把一切照亮。 Like a candle that's set in a window at night; Your fond love has cheered me and guided me right; 宛如一支点燃的蜡烛， 茫茫黑夜中透过窗户。 你温柔的爱鼓舞着我， 指引我走上正确道路。 Sure I love the dear silver that shines in your hair; And the brow that's all furrowed and wrinkled with care; 我爱你美丽的头髪， 闪烁着熠熠的银光。 我爱你额上的皱纹， 刻满了岁月的沧桑。 I kiss the dear fingers so toil warm for me; Oh!

Let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight For the ends of Being and ideal Grace. I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with a passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith. I love thee with a love I seemed to lose With my lost saints, --- I love thee with the breath, Smiles, tears, of all my life! --- and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death. 【诗后的故事】作者ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING[伊丽莎白·巴雷特·勃朗宁]于公元1806年出生在达翰姆（英格兰北部一郡）。1838年，她出版了《撒拉弗和其它诗篇》[撒拉佛—— 六翼天使（九级天使中地位最高者），又称：炽爱天使]。1843年，由于当时英国的最高统治者是女性，伊丽莎白于国家诗人的提名得到了更加广泛的支持。结果很不幸，她输给了威廉·华兹华斯--同一时代的另一位伟大诗人[有机会笔者会撰文介绍此人]。此后不久，伊利沙白与罗伯特·勃朗宁——另一位有才华的诗人，结婚了。然而，伊丽莎白的父亲，却不同意这场婚事。于是，这对情侣决定出逃。并由此，引发了一场浪漫的婚姻。伊丽莎白与罗伯特·勃朗宁准备各自出发，逃往意大利，并在比萨会合，去继续他们的生活。他们成功了。三年后，即1849年，他们已在意大利中部的佛罗伦萨定居。一日，伊丽莎白送给她的丈夫一件珍贵的礼物——44首她为丈夫写的十四行诗，里面有开始时的怀疑，与家庭抗争的恐惧，与爱人的甜蜜，及最终爱的胜利的喜悦。同年，他们唯一的男孩出生了。一年后，即1850年，勃朗宁夫妇出版了那44首诗，但做了些伪装。他们用“葡萄牙十四行诗集”为这44首诗命名。如此一来，读者便会接受这些诗是由葡萄牙语翻译过来的的暗示。于是，我们今天可以看到如此表达真爱和深爱的诗句。伊丽莎白的浪漫婚姻促成了她的，也是整个维多利亚时代的，最美丽的爱情商籁体诗。 6.问一下适合朗诵的英文诗歌有哪些我认为最好的就是《世上最遥远的距离》啦 我口语就是背的这个 你自己看看吧 《世界上最遥远的距离》-----泰戈尔 The furthest distance in the world 世界上最遥远的距离， Is not between life and death 不是生与死 But when I stand in front of you 而是我就站在你的面前， Yet you don't know that I love you 你却不知道我爱你 The furthest distance in the world 世界上最遥远的距离 Is not when i stand in font of you 不是我站在你面前 Yet you can't see my love 你却不知道我爱你 But when undoubtedly knowing the love from both 而是明明知道彼此相爱 Yet cannot Be togehter 却不能在一起 The furthest distance in the world 世界上最遥远的距离 Is not being apart while being in love 不是明明知道彼此相爱 But when plainly can not resist the yearning 却不能在一起 Yet pretending you have never been in my heart 而是明明无法抵挡这股想念却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里 The furthest distance in the world 世界上最遥远的距离 Is not But using one's indifferent heart 不是明明无法抵挡这股想念却还得故意装作丝毫没有把你放在心里 To dig an uncrossable river 而是用自己冷漠的心 For the one who loves you 对爱你的人掘了一条无法跨越的沟渠 |
