以下是引用wyuanl在2007-1-10 19:26:00的发言:挺好的,如果翻译成中文就是一篇很典型的小学生作文了啊。ETS的口语题真的很像小学命题作文。 谢谢鼓励。今天又写了几篇,发现常写错别字,担心没有word的纠错功能可咋办?还有怎么作文越写越像书面文章,口语考试说出这么文绉绉的人家相信是临场发挥的嘛?这两天埋头写独立口语的答案,好像对口语没有什么提高呀。再贴一篇,请大家提提意见。
1. 描述一个你喜欢的艺术作品,诗歌、歌曲或绘画, 为什么让你印象深刻.. Describe an art such as song or painting that gives you long lasting impression.
As a Chinese, I am quite impressed by the Chinese traditional poems written by the great poets in the Tang Dynasty. There are usually 4 or 8 lines in each poem, each line containing 5 or 7 characters, concise but very touching. Its beautiful rhyme and rhythm contributes to the beauty of the poem. Here is a popular one almost every Chinese can recite. The name of the poem is A Tranquil Night. Thanks to the great translator, I have its English version here.
Abed, I see a silver light, I wonder if it's frost aground. Looking up, I find the moon bright; Bowing, in homesickness I'm drowned.
Being away from my home town for years, I always remember this poem which my father taught me when I was 5 or 6 years old. Now, I can now feel the poet’s overwhelming homesickness between his lines. It is a pity that people in the world speak different languages, otherwise we could share this great poem in its original taste.
