GeorgeGordonByronBriefIntroduction这首《哀希腊》节选自拜伦改写自西班牙传说的DonJuan，在主人公的婚宴上由一位呤游诗人弹唱。希腊是欧洲文明的发源地，有过灿烂的历史，十九世纪初却沦亡在土耳其的铁蹄下。作者通过古今对比，将一腔悲愤付诸笔端，号召希腊人民觉醒争取民族独立。1.整首诗歌韵律感极强，结尾处的押韵浑然天成，呈现出ABABCC，DEDEFF的形式，读起来朗朗上口；2.结尾多以清辅音和元音收住，便于吟唱与回转，有种回音空荡之效；3.这首诗讲述的是号召希腊人民觉醒争取民族独立，结尾处的清音与诗句中的重音形成对比，一壮⼀哀，情感跌宕，悲壮和哀鸣，流离往返。4.文章中还多处用到例如“o’er,ne’er”这样的省音手法，主要是为了便于平仄韵律，是考虑到了整体的效果而为。“TheIslesofGreece”istakenfromDonJuanCantoⅢ.Intheearly19thcentury,GreecewasundertheruleofTurks.BypraisingGreece’sancientbrilliantculture,splendidcivilization,greatmilitaryachievementsandheroicmilitanttraditionandsatirizingtheGreek’sapathy['æpəθɪ]冷漠towardstheircountry’sbeingslavedbyTurks.ByrontriesveryhardtoencourageandimpeltheGreekpeopletoriseandfightfortheirnationallibertyandindependence,whichshowsthepoet’senthusiasticsupportforpeopleagainstallformsofoppression.The16six-linestanzasofthispoemfollowaquatrain-coupletrhymescheme:ABABCC.Eachlineismeterediniambictetrameter.Itisfamousforitsextensiveuseofallusions暗示,referencesandcitationsCallingforfreedomandindependencecallingforrevoltsagainsttyrannyTheauthorcontrastthedifferencebetweentheancientandmodern,toexpressthegriefandindignation,callfortheGreekpeople’sawakeningtofightfornationalindependence.ThepoemwasinterpretedintoChineseinthe12Century,whichcausedaprofoundeffect.ThesufferingthatGreeceexperiencedisavividreflectionofChina’spastimpotenceandindignityatthehandsofcolonialpowersinthemodernhistory.ThemeAllusionsarefrequentlyusedinthispoemtosetasharpcontrastbetweenthepastandthepresentofGreece.allusion:TheScianandtheTeianmusesynecdoche:Thehero'sharp,thelover'slutegloriousinthepastwhilerefusingthefameandbeingmutetothesoundsatpresent.（1）TheislesofGreece,theIslesofGreece！希腊的群岛，希腊的群岛！WhereburningSappholovedandsung,塞芙在此唱歌，激情燃烧，Wheregrewtheartsofwarandpeace,是战是和，一于此比试高低，Burning:passionate,ardentSappho：GreecelyricpoetWhereDelosrose,andPhoebussprung,迪洛斯岛*崛起，太阳高照，Eternalsummergildsthemyet,酷暑无尽，海岛铄石流金，Butall,excepttheirsun,isset.可除了日头，一切已沉沦。‘Butall,excepttheirsun,isset”:Butalltheirpastgloriesarenomore,onlythesunstillshinesuponthem.Delos:anameofisland译注：*迪洛斯岛（Delos）－爱琴海希腊所属希克拉第斯（Cyclades）群岛中一驰名岛屿。据希腊神话传说，太阳神（Phoebus）菲伯斯－即（Apollo）阿波罗－降生于此。*狄洛斯－爱琴海中岛名。Phoebus:Appollosprung：sprang(2)TheScianandtheTeianmuse,赛俄岛*及提俄斯*的诗神，Thehero'sharp,thelover'slute英雄的竖琴，恋人的诗琴，Havefoundthefameyourshoresrefuse.赢得了声名竟扫地出门。Scian：birthplaceofHomerTeian:birthplaceofAnacreonmuse:hererefertoHomerandAnacreonthehero'sharp:hererefertoHomerwhoseIlaidandOdysseyareabouttheexploitsofheroes.thelover'slute:hererefertoAnacreon“Havefoundthefameyourshoresrefuse“:haveelsewherereceivedthehonorwhichGreeceitselffailedtogive.sires：ancestors海岛乐园（IslandsoftheBlest）－可能指西非塞内加尔（Senegal）的佛得角群岛（CapeVerdeIslands），或大西洋东北部的嘉纳丽群岛（CanaryIslands）。Theirplaceofbirthaloneismute独独在发祥地喑哑失声Tosoundswhichechofurtherwest那音响回荡着，逐向西渐Thanyoursires“IslandoftheBlest”.超越你先祖的“海岛乐园”。
