Lu Lin divided the poem into four sections in the article, and then explained each section and each sentence separately.
The first stanza writes about the poet standing at a crossroads in the woods...
In the second stanza, the poet chose a path...
The third quarter begins with a difficult trek...
In the fourth section, the poet thinks about the past...
"Although Zhang Zhong's song "The Road Not Taken" only wrote about one of his own choices, it revealed the major choices he faced on the road of life. He did not directly say what the two roads represented, nor did he tell everyone what they were.
The road is better, what he illustrates is just the choice itself. The poem describes a person facing a choice and his mentality when making the decision..."
"Image is an ancient way of artistic expression in poetry, both at home and abroad. The road is the final image of this poem. It is not only a specific road, but also has the symbolic meaning of the road of life..."
Lu Lin, like a middle school teacher giving lectures to students, analyzed the central idea of this poem and the use of image art in detail at the beginning of the article.
In the second half, we begin to focus on the linguistic features of this poem.
"Rhyme and rhyme are the distinguishing features of poetry. This poem consists of four stanzas, each stanza has five lines. The dominant meter is iambic pentameter. On this basis, the meter changes from time to time. Take the first stanza as an example,
The first three meters of the second line of the poem are iambic, the fourth and fifth steps are iambic, the third line of the third poem is iambic, the first two meters are iambic, the fourth and fifth steps are iambic.
The repeatedly changing meter avoids the monotony of pronunciation, adds wit and makes the poem full of rhythm."
"The rhyme at the end of the poem is abaab, cdccd, efeef, ghgghh. The alternating rhyme between different lines in the same stanza and the continuous change of rhyme between different stanzas make the stanzas perfectly combined..."
Lu Lin's analysis was very detailed, breaking the entire poem into parts, disassembling it and putting it back together again, talking about almost every letter.
[I worship the great God. When I saw this poem, I thought it was very powerful. I didn’t expect it to be so powerful.]
【The blowing makes me feel so comfortable.】
[Is it so difficult to understand a poem? The explanation is so detailed that I feel dizzy.]
[Master Lu and Zhang Zhong are both very powerful.]
[Someone just said that this poem is very ordinary to read, which made me angry, and I don’t know how to refute him. Next time I see such a person, I will send this article to him.]
[Is it so difficult to write a modern poem? I thought that modern poems just need to be written separately.]
【Have you been influenced by some "poets"?】
[I only knew Zhang Zhong’s English was good before, but I didn’t expect it to be this good.]
…
Zhang Zhong didn't think so much when he read this poem out during his speech.
In fact, it wasn't just him, maybe Robert didn't think so much when he wrote this poem.
When poets reach a certain state, various rhymes have become a part of their body, and they often blurt out their words.
For example, those poets in ancient China wrote too many poems. Even if they did not deliberately memorize the rhymes and oblique rhymes, over time, those rhymes would be engraved in their minds and they would naturally pop out when they used them.
When great poets write poems, they may sometimes put effort into refining their words, but most of the time it is a natural state.
That's why there is a saying that "articles are made by nature, but can be found by chance".
In fact, "every article is born from scratch", it is just the accumulation of time and experience, and finally there is a moment of inspiration.
This song "The Road Not Taken" came out at the right time. In early July, just when graduates of Chinese universities have just stepped out of school, many of them are facing important choices in their lives.
When Wang Yu read this poem, he was browsing social software in the office.
When he graduated this year, his father helped him find a job at a local mixing station. His job content was very simple, just making reports occasionally.
The mixing station is only one kilometer away from home, and it provides three meals a day. It works eight hours a day, but the actual working time is probably only one or two hours.
The salary is not low either. In a small county like theirs, they can earn more than 4,000 a month, which is more than many people. In addition, the mixing station also helps pay for five social insurances and one housing fund, which is still 2:8.
Many local people envied him for being able to find such a comfortable job through his father's connections.
But he himself was very troubled.
Such a dawdling job is not what he wants.
And whenever he told his father that he wanted to go out and have a try, his father would always "intimidate" him with various uncertainties.
"Nowadays, it is difficult for college students to find jobs. Many jobs outside are either 996 or 007. In big cities, consumption is high and life is stressful..."
When Wang Yu saw the song "The Road Not Taken", he fell into deep thought and thought about his future again.
Now there are two paths before him. One is to work peacefully at a mixing station, and wait until he is older to marry a wife and have children and live a stable life.
On the other hand, if you give up your current stable life and chase what you want, you may end up with a bloody head.
He knew that he was luckier than most people because he at least still had a choice.
He also knew that, as the poem said, no matter which path he chose, he could not regret it.
That afternoon, Wang Yu was in a daze for a long time, and then he stayed up all night after returning home.
The next morning, he packed his bags and went to his father and said he wanted to change his job.
Just when his father was about to say those "threatening" words to him again, Wang Yu said: "Dad, let me have a collision. Even if I may get a bloody head, since I have chosen, I will definitely go on. I know
I made a choice today, and I may never be able to look back, but I will not regret it. I am an adult, I should choose my own path, and I will be responsible for my choices."
In the end, his father's "threat" was not spoken out. He just waved his hand towards Wang Yu and said, "Go ahead and remember what you said today and don't regret it."
Wang Yu nodded heavily.
If he had heard his father tell him not to regret before, he might have thought that these were his father's angry words, but now he could feel the deeper meaning of this sentence. Not only were these not his father's angry words, but his father's feelings towards him.
hope.
When sending Wang Yu off, his father looked at his son's back and sighed slowly. He didn't stop Wang Yu this time because it was the first time that Wang Yu could calmly discuss his pursuits with him instead of
He is as impulsive as before, relying only on his passion and enthusiasm. My son seems to have grown up a little.
Maybe one day my son will be hit outside and his head will be covered in blood. When he comes back, as long as he doesn't regret the choice he made at that time, it will all be worth it.
