浅析《When You Are Old》
a beautiful artistic world.
When You Are Old
When you are old and gray and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book, 在壁炉前小憩，取下这本诗文，
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;清幽的眼光，以及眸影中浓郁的阴云
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true, 真情假意地爱恋你如花的容颜，
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
总体上，此诗由十二个简单的句子组成，分为三节，全诗押韵，节奏基本整齐，每行以五音步（pentameter）、抑扬格（iambic）为主，即每行五个音步，每个音步有两个音节，前音轻而后音重。全诗短小精致，高贵典雅，以假设和虚拟的隐约的对话营造出一个凄美的情景，没有热烈澎湃的激动宣泄，只有平静而真挚的倾诉，这样朴素而含蓄的语句，却充满了幽雅而高贵的凝重，这潜潜的淡淡哀怨，把我们带入亲切而温暖的爱的氛围中。下面从每一节来具体分析：
