军舰鸟英语诗

先来看汽车的行驶速度，一般来说，高速路上的汽车最快是120公里/小时。日常生活中，这次速度已经很快了。再来看高铁的速度，在允许的条件下，能达到380公里/小时，当然还能更快，可目前不允许那么高的车速。而军舰鸟最快的飞行速度是418公里/小时，通过直观的数字对比，大家应该能体会到军舰鸟的能耐。

舰鸟名字的由来要从它们的生活习性谈起。军舰鸟有对长而尖的翅膀，极善飞翔。当它两翼展开时，两个翼尖间的距离可达2.3米。白天，军舰鸟几乎总是在空中翱翔的。它们能在高空翻转盘旋，也能飞速地直线俯冲，高超的飞行本领着实令人惊叹。军舰鸟正是凭借这身绝技，在空中袭击那些叼着鱼的其他海鸟。它们常凶猛地冲向目标，使被攻击者吓得惊慌失措，丢下口中的鱼仓惶而逃。这时，军舰鸟马上急冲而下，凌空叼住正在下落的鱼，并马上吞吃下去。由于这种海鸟的掠夺习性，早期的博物学家就给它起名为frigatebird。这里，frigate是中世纪时海盗们使用的一种架有大炮的帆船。在现代英语中，frigate是护卫舰的意思。后来，人们干脆简称它们为man-of-war，意思是军舰。军舰鸟的名字就这样叫开了。

军舰鸟还会通过骚扰其他带着猎物归来的海鸟获得食物。通过对其他正在飞行的鸟儿进行干扰，它们经常会得到从其他海鸟嘴里掉落下来的食物。 如果它看到邻居红脚鲣鸟捕鱼归来时，便对它们突然发起空袭，迫使红脚鲣鸟放弃口中的鱼虾，然后急速俯冲，攫取下坠的鱼虾，占为己有。由于军舰鸟有“抢食”行为，人们贬称它为“强盗鸟”。

军舰鸟之所以飞速这么快，也是生存环境所迫。它们主要分布在海岛附近，以鱼为生，但它的羽毛没有油性，沾到水就会被淹死，所以只能靠飞得快来抢夺其他海鸟口中的食。军舰鸟常常会一个俯冲下去攻击猎物，受到惊吓的海鸟会松开刚捕的食物，军舰鸟能在短时间内接住，并吞到肚子里。所以，不少人也把军舰鸟称为“海盗鸟”。看完军舰鸟，我觉得人也应该像它一样，练就一身生存本领，有一技之长，就能在社会里活的更加稳当。

英语诗歌是英语语言的精华。它以最凝练的文字传递时间与空间、物质与精神、理智与情感。诗歌本身包含的丰富社会生活内容和艺术内涵，诗歌语言的独特的美与和谐都使它们具有无穷的魅力。下面我为大家带来经典英文诗阅读，欢迎大家学习!

经典英文诗欣赏：海湾

At low tide like this how sheer the water is.

White， crumbling ribs of marl protrude and glare

and the boats are dry， the pilings dry as matches，

Absorbing， rather than being absorbed，

the water in the bight doesn't wet anything，

the color of the gas flame turned as low as possible.

One can smell it turning to gas; if one were Baudelaire

one could probably hear it turning to marimba music.

The little ocher dredge at work off the end of the dock

already plays the dry perfectly off-beat claves.

The birds are outsize. Pelicans crash

into this peculiar gas unnecessarily hard.

it seems to me， like pickaxes，

rarely coming up with anything to show for it，

and going off with humorous elbowings，

Black-and-white man-of-war birds soar

on impalpable drafts

and open their tails like scissors on the curves

or tense them like wishbones， till they tremble.

The frowsy sponge boats keep coming in

with the obliging air of retrievers，

bristling with jackstraw gaffs and hooks

and decorated with bobbles of sponges.

There is a fence of chicken wire along the dock

where， glinting like little plowshares，

the blue-gray shark tails are hung up to dry

for the Chinese-restaurant trade.

Some of the little white boats are still piled up

against each other， or lie on their sides， stove in，

and not yet salvaged， if they ever will be， from the last bad storm.

like torn-open， unanswered letters.

the bight is littered with old correspondences.

Click. Click. Goes the dredge，

and brings up a dripping jawful of marl.

All the untidy activity continues，

awful but cheerful.

海潮退到这样的时候，水便分外清澈了。

白色的石灰泥滩，层层露出水来，浪纹斑驳，闪耀亮眼。

条条小船，晒得干干的;根根木桩，则干得像火柴棒。

吸收而非被吸收，

海湾里的水弄不湿任何东西，

而且呈现出一种瓦斯火开至最低时的颜色。

你可以闻到那海水正转化成瓦斯;假如你是波特莱尔的话

你说不定可以听到那海水正转化成马林巴木琴的声音。

而码头尾端，一个褐色小型捞网正在那里捞着

一直在那里以绝对冷硬的调子，打着双节棒，伴奏着。

水鸟都是特大号的。鹈鹕哗啦冲

入这一泓奇异的瓦斯之中，真是小题大作，

这景象对我来说，有点像鹤嘴锄，

一锄下去，拉回来看看，什么也没有，

于是只好游到一边，样子滑稽的挤入鹈鹕堆里去了。

黑白相间的军舰鸟翱翔在

捉摸不定的气流里

尾巴张开，如剪刀弯弯裁过

尾巴紧绷，如叉骨绷然颤动。

腥臭的海绵船不断的开了进来

以一种猎狗衔回东西般的殷勤姿态，

上面竖立着稻草人般的鱼叉鱼钩

装饰着垂悬吊幌的海绵。

沿着码头，有一排方格铁丝网墙

上面，挂着闪闪发光犁刀般

灰蓝鲨的尾巴，一条条的，在那里风干，

准备卖给中国餐馆。

一些白色的小船，仍然相互靠在一起

堆着放，或侧着放，船身破裂，

还没修好(要是将来真还会去修的话)，都是上回暴风弄坏的，

像一封封拆开而没有回复的信。

这小海湾内到处都丢着废弃的信件。

卡啦卡啦，捞网上下捞着，

捞上来滴滴答答一大堆石灰泥。

所有乱七八糟的事都在进行着，糟是糟透了，不过却满愉快的。

经典英文诗欣赏：茵湖岛

I will arise and go now， and go to Innisfree，

And a small cabin build there， of clay and wattles made;

Nine bean-rows will I have there， a hive for the honey-bee，

And Live alone in the bee-loud glade.

此刻我将动身前去，去那茵湖岛，

在那儿搭建一座小木屋，以泥块枝桠编织而成;

种几地大豆，弄个蜂巢，养些蜜蜂，

遗世独立于那片蜂儿高鸣的林间野地。

And I shall have some peace there， for peace comes dropping slow，

Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;

There midnight's all a glimmer， and noon a purple glow，

And evening full of the linnet's wings.

我将在那儿安详过日子，这安详缓缓滴落

由清晨的迷蒙到蟋蟀的鸣唱;

那儿的子夜，星光闪烁;中午，紫光一片;

而黄昏，飞满野雀的红翼。

I will arise and go now， for always night and day，

I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;

Whil I stand on the roadway， or on the pavements gray，

I hear it in the deep heart's core.

此刻我将动身前去，因为日日夜夜

我听到那湖水轻拍岸边的低语，

当我伫足在大道上，或在灰蒙的小径时，

我听到那湖水在我心深处回响不绝。

L. Stevenson (1) When I was down beside the sea A wooden spade they gave to me To dig the sandy shore. 当我到海边时 他们给了我一把木铲 好去挖掘沙滩。 (2) The holes were empty like a cup In every hole the sea camp up, Till it could come no more. 挖成像杯状般的空洞 让每个洞中的海水涌现 直到它不能再涌现。 FOLLOW YOUR OWN COURSE Neil Simon Don't listen to those who say, "It's not done that way." Maybe it's not, but maybe you will. Don't listen to those who say, "You're taking too big a chance." Michelangelo would have painted the Sistine Floor, and it would surely be rubbed out by today. Most importantly, don't listen When the little voice of fear inside of you rear its ugly head and says, "They're all smarter than you out there. They're more talented, They're taller, blonder, prettier, luckier and have connections..." I firmly believe that if you follow a path that interests you, Not to the exclusion of love, sensitivity, and cooperation with others, But with the strength of conviction That you can move others by your own efforts, And do not make success or failure the criteria by which you live, The chances are you'll be a person worthy of your own respect. 走自己的路 尼尔·西蒙 别听那些人的话， “这事不能那么做。” 也许是不能那么做，可是也许你就会那么做。 别听那些人的话， “你这个险冒得太大了。” 米开朗琪罗可能在西斯廷教堂的地板上作过画， 到今天肯定已经被抹掉了。 最重要的是， 当你心中恐惧的声音， 抬起它丑陋的头说， “那边那些人都比你聪明， 他们更有才华， 他们更高大、皮肤更白、更漂亮、更幸运， 并且认识各种各样的人…” 你可千万别理会。 我坚信只要选择一条你感兴趣的路， 不排除爱情、敏锐以及与别人的合作， 而是坚定地认为， 通过你自身的努力能够感动他人， 不把成功或者失败作为你生活的标准， 那么你就可能成为值得自己敬佩的人。
