13、A)至今仍然是常见的。童谣的语言具体但富有想像力,这能使小孩子们快乐,因为它们押韵,节奏感强,而且重复多遍。童谣不一定有什么意义,甚至(有的)看来自相矛盾,但是它们容易学,也容易背诵。通过童谣中的文字游戏,孩子们学习了语言。,A小宝宝,别说话,爸爸给你买个小嘲鸟。小嘲鸟,不会唱,爸爸给你买个钻石戒。钻石戒,变成铜,爸爸给你买个小镜子。小镜子,打破了,爸爸给你买个小山羊。小山羊,跑掉了。爸爸今天再去给你买一只。,像(B)和(C)这样的列举事物的清单诗是诗歌中最简单的一种。清单诗可长可短,可以重复一些短语,较为灵活,形成固定句型和诗的节奏。有些清单诗有韵脚(如B),但有一些没有(如C)。 B 我看
14、到鱼塘在燃烧我看到鱼塘在燃烧,我看到房子向地主哈腰。我看到人高一丈八,我看到茅屋在天郊。我看到气球用铅做,我看到棺材把死人抛。我看到两只麻雀在赛跑,我看到两匹马儿绣花包。,我看到姑娘像只猫。 我看到小猫戴花帽。 我看到有人在一旁瞄, 虽奇怪,但也把实情报。 C 我们的第一场球赛 我们本来会得冠军 如果杰克踢进了那个球, 如果我们还有几分钟, 如果我们训练得更严格,,如果本把球传给了乔, 如果有大批球迷助威, 如果我死死盯住球, 如果我们头晚不熬夜, 如果我们没有放松警惕, 如果我们没有精疲力竭, 我们本来会得冠军 如果我们能干得更好!,另外一种学生容易写的简体诗是由五行组成的,叫做五行诗。用五

(作者:Moritake) G 雪儿融化了, 整个村庄充满着 欢乐的儿童。 作者:Issa,俳句诗(Haiku)是一种日本诗,由17个音节组成。它不属于英语诗的传统形式,但是在用英语写作的人们中间,这种诗也是很流行的。它容易写,而且像五行诗一样,它可以用最少的词语呈现出一幅清晰的画面。表达出一种特殊的感情。上面两首俳句诗(F和G)就是从日语翻
16、译过来的。你知道吗?说英语的人也喜欢其他类型的亚洲诗,尤其是中国的唐诗。许多唐诗已经被翻译成英文了。这首唐诗(H)就是从中文翻译过来的。,H 望夫处,江悠悠, 化为石,不回头。 山头日日风复雨, 行人归来石应语。 (王建) 有了这么多可供选择的诗歌类型,学生们最终也许想自己作诗了。写诗比你想像的要容易,绝对值得一试!,二、将下列单词或词组译成英语,然后参阅Unit 2的词汇表自主勘误。 1传达,运送 vt._ 2具体的 adj._ 3灵活的,可弯曲的 adj._ 4最后 adv._ 5转化,变换 v_ 6适当的 adj._ 7交换,调换 v_ 8赞助人 n倡议 v_ 9模式,式样 n_,答案:
