困乏，刺激

俳句诗（Haiku）是一种日本诗，由17个音节组成。它不属英诗的传统形式，但是在说英语的人们中间，这种诗也是很流行的。它容易写，而且像五行诗一样，它可用很少的词语呈现出一幅清晰的画面，表达出一种特殊的感情。下面两首俳句诗下面的（F）和（G）就是由日文翻译而来的。

（F）

落下的花朵

回顾到树枝上。

瞧啊，是个蝴蝶！

（作者：moritake）

（G）

雪儿溶化了，

整个村庄充满着

欢乐的儿童。

（作者：Issa）

你知道吗？说英语的人也借另外一种亚洲诗，那就是中国的唐诗，许多唐诗已经翻译成英文了。这些诗都译成了自由体，说英语的人都喜欢模仿它。下面这首唐诗就是从中文译成英文的。

（H）

望夫石

王健

望夫处，江悠悠。

化为石，不回头。

山头日日风复雨，

I'VE SA VED THE SUMMER

(by Rod McKuen)

I've saved the summer

And I give it all to you

To hold on winter mornings

When the snow is new.

I've saved some sunlight

If you should ever need

A place away from darkness

Where your mind can feed.

And for myself I've kept your smile

When you were but nineteen,

Till you're older you'll not know

What brave young smiles can mean.

I know no answers

To help you on your way

The answers lie somewhere

At the bottom of the day.

But if you've a need for love

I'll give you all l own

It might help you down the road

Till you've found your own.

我保留了夏天

Rod Mckuen

我把夏天留下，

全都交给了你。

当雪花儿初降时，

让冬天的早晨停住。

我把阳光留下，

万一你需要它。

在那远离黑暗的地方，

你的心灵会得到补养。

那年你芳龄十九，

我就珍藏了你的微笑。

等你长大成人以后，

才知道年轻勇敢的微笑的奥秘。

我不知道有什么办法，

帮你踏上你人生的旅程。

办法也许就在某处：

在白天结束的那个时辰。

如果你需要爱，

我会献上我所有的爱。

它也许能帮你踏上旅程，

直到你也找到属于你的爱。

ADVICE FROM GRANDAD

Dear James,

It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end of the garden. I have just returned from a long bike ride to an old castle. It seems amazing that at my age I am still fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon. It's my birthday in two weeks time and I'll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due to the healthy life I live.

This brings me to the real reason for my letter, my dear grandson. Your mother tells me that you started smoking some time ago and now you are finding it difficult to give it up. Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it is to stop. You see, during adolescence I also smoked and became addicted to cigarettes.

By the way, did you know that this is because you become addicted in three different ways? First, you can become physically addicted to nicotine, which is one of the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes. This means that after a while your body becomes accustomed to having nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptoms. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you become addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thing over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastly, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to think that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted in all three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally manage.

When I was young, I didn't know much about the harmful effects of smoking. I didn't know, for example, that it could do terrible damage to your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant. I certainly didn't know their babies may have a smaller birth weight or even be abnormal in some way. Neither did I know that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers. However, what I did know was that my girlfriend thought I smelt terrible. She said my breath and clothes smelt, and that the ends of my fingers were turning yellow. She told me that she wouldn't go out with me again unless I stopped! I also noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn't enjoying sport as much. When I was taken off the school football team because I was unfit, I knew it was time to quit smoking.

I am sending you some advice I found on the Internet. It might help you to stop and strengthen your resolve. I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life as I have.

Love from

Grandad

How can you stop smoking?
