纵观所有有影响力的北美入学考试,考察诗歌这种体裁的也只有SSAT考试。其实在美国的许多私立中学,8年级就开始开设诗歌阅读的课程,所以在SSAT阅读中考察诗歌也是顺理成章的。今天,小编为大家剖析诗歌当中押韵的奥秘。
什么是押韵?
Rhyme 押韵:押韵是指通过重复元音或辅音以达到一定音韵效果的诗歌写作手法。
常见的押韵分哪几类?
1.尾韵:
尾韵是最常见、最重要的押韵方式,分为三种: 联韵、交叉韵和同韵
联韵: AABB
I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.
交叉韵: ABAB
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea.
同韵:
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep
And miles to go before I sleep.
2.头韵:
头韵是指一行或一节诗中几个词开头的辅音相同,形成押韵
The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew
The furrow followed free,
We were the first that ever burst
Into the silent sea
作者使用了辅音f, b, s 头韵生动写出船在海上轻快航行的景象
3.内韵:
内韵是指词与词之间元音的重复形成内部押韵
Spring, the sweet spring, is the year’s pleasant king,
Then blooms each things, then maids dance in a ring,
Cold doth not sting, the pretty birds do sing:
Cuckoo, jug-jug, pu-we, to-witta-woo!
这节诗中/i/ 与/in/ 重复照应,呈现出一派欢乐祥和气氛
