螟蛉（螟蛉有子_蜾蠃负之）

笑你我枉花光心计，

爱竞逐镜花那美丽，

怕幸运会转眼远逝，

为贪嗔喜恶怒着迷。

Laugh at us about having squandered all the schemes, enjoying pursuing the unreachable dashing beauties, being concerned about good fortune flashing past, and being addicted to coveting, loathing, prettiness-adoring, being evil and raging.

责你我太贪功恋势，

怪大地众生太美丽，

悔旧日太执信约誓，

为悲欢哀怨妒着迷。

Blame us for drooling over earthly honors and influence, accusing common creation of being too attractive, regretting once persisting excessively in sticking to the oaths, and indulging in woe, pleasure, gloominess, resentment, and envy.

啊 舍不得璀璨俗世，

啊 躲不开痴恋的欣慰，

啊 找不到色相代替，

啊 参一生参不透这条难题。

Ah! unable to desert this dazzling and vulgar world. Ah! impotent to flee from the relaxing enjoyments in obsession. Ah! incapable of seeking any appearance for displacing. Ah! incompetent to understand the crux of this in a lifetime.

吞风吻雨葬落日未曾彷徨，

欺山赶海践雪径也未绝望。

拈花把酒偏折煞世人情狂，

凭这两眼与百臂或千手不能防。

Never ever flinched while engulfing the winds, kissing the rains and burying the setting suns, never ever despaired while constraining the mountains, repulsing the seas and treading on the snow paths. Mingling for lust and drinking for enjoyment nonetheless burned out the world frenzied about love, which it was impossible to escape from with the eyes, a hundred arms and a thousand hands.

天阔阔雪漫漫共谁同航，

这沙滚滚水皱皱笑着浪荡，

贪欢一晌偏教那儿女情长埋葬。

The infinite sky and showering snow leave me to sail further alone, the rolling sand and the wrinkling water are laughing at the erotic and the wilful, the instants engaging in fun nevertheless swallow the lingering loving moments of us.

regretting once persisting excessively in sticking to the oaths(分词短语作blame的伴随状语，等于并列句), and indulging in woe, pleasure, gloominess, resentment, and envy(分词短语作blame的伴随状语，等于并列句)。

啊 舍不得璀璨俗世，啊 躲不开痴恋的欣慰，啊 找不到色相代替，啊 参一生参不透这条难题。Ah! unable to desert this dazzling and vulgar world. Ah! impotent to flee from the relaxing enjoyments in obsession. Ah! incapable of seeking any appearance for displacing. Ah! incompetent to understand the crux of this in a lifetime.

语法：

Ah! unable to desert this dazzling and vulgar world. Ah! impotent toflee from the relaxing enjoyments in obsession. Ah! incapable of seeking any appearance for displacing. Ah! incompetent to understand the crux of this in a lifetime.

Ah是英语里的拟音词，即中文的“啊”。以上句子的句首都省略了主语，以贴切原文意境。unable等四个形容词在这里表示的都是几乎相同的含义，但要注意incapable后如要接宾语时 ，只能用介词of不可用to，这种不同需要同学们在平时的学习中积累，但用错是可以接受的，因为这种不同有时是极难以区分的。

吞风吻雨葬落日未曾彷徨，欺山赶海践雪径也未绝望。拈花把酒偏折煞世人情狂，凭这两眼与百臂或千手不能防。Never ever flinched while engulfing the winds, kissing the rains and burying the setting suns, never ever despaired while constraining the mountains, repulsing the seas and treading on the snow paths. Mingling for lust and drinking for enjoyment nonetheless burned out the world frenzied about love, which it was impossible to escape from with the eyes, a hundred arms and a thousand hands.

词句：

never ever-[?n?v? ??v?]-从未/从不/永不。never ever之间常会用逗号隔开，因为它们是两个独立的副词，但实际母语人士和母语权威也常不用逗号。总之，逗号这样枝梢末节的东西，不要过于在乎。尤其是中文原文里没有逗号，假如我们把这么短的一句话用逗号隔开的话，那么观感是不好的，且也失去了中文原文的意境或韵味。

flinch-[fl?nt?]-退宿/畏惧/躲避/回避。近义词cower-[?ka??r]。如：He flinched at the sight of the blood/She flinched away from the dog/The world community should not flinch in the face of this challenge.

engulf-[?n?ɡ?lf]-吞没/吞噬/包围。如：The car was engulfed in flames/Fear engulfed her/He was engulfed by a crowd of reporters.

constrain-[k?n?stre?n]-限制/约束/强迫。近义词bully(迫使/胁迫/恐吓/欺凌)-[?b?li]。如：Research has been constrained by a lack of funds/We definitely felt constrained to accept their requests.

repulse-[r??p?ls]-击退/驱逐/拒绝/使厌恶。同义词repel-[r??pel]。如：The armed forces were prepared to repulse any attacks/She repulsed his advances(追求)/I was repulsed by the horrible smell.

tread-[tred]-踩/踏/行走。过去式trod过去分词trodden。近义词roll(滚动)。如：Don't tread on my sofa/He trod the dust into the carpet/Tread lightly on the river bank.

mingle-[?m??ɡl]-交往/混合/结合。如：She was not recognized(认出) and mingled freely with the crowds/Her tears mingled with the excitement on her face/The sounds of laughter and singing mingled in the evening air.

lust-[l?st]-欲望/渴望/肉欲/色欲。nonetheless-[?n?ne??les]-但是/然而，副词。burn out-[b??rn a?t]-耗尽体力/筋疲力尽/累垮/燃尽/烧尽。frenzied-[?fr?nzid]-疯狂的/狂暴的，近义词fanatical(狂热的/入迷的)-[f??n?t?kl]。

语法：

Never ever flinched while engulfing the winds, kissing the rains and burying the setting suns(三个并列的分词短语，作while后省略了的，和主句重复的sb was的补语), never ever despaired while constraining the mountains, repulsing the seas and treading on the snow paths.

winds(一阵阵的风), rains(一场场的雨), suns(不同日期的日落), seas(不同地方的海或海水)，这就是它们都用了复数的原因。诗歌散文里，同学们一定要充分发挥自己的想象，思维不可被束缚了，否则难以写出有诗意的词句。

Mingling for lust and drinking for enjoyment(动名词短语主语)nonetheless(本该用逗号，但也可不用，原因在上面的never ever里讲过了)burned out(谓语) the world(宾语，引申为世人) frenzied about love(形容词短语后置定语，等于定语从句who was frenzied about love),

which it was impossible to escape from with the eyes, a hundred arms and a thousand hands. 定语从句，which指代前文整句话，并在从句作from的宾语。不定式to escape from部分是形式主语it的真正主语。

天阔阔雪漫漫共谁同航，这沙滚滚水皱皱笑着浪荡，贪欢一晌偏教那儿女情长埋葬。The infinite sky and showering snow leave me to sail further alone, the rolling sand and the wrinkling water are laughing at the erotic and the wilful, the instants engaging in fun nevertheless swallow the lingering loving moments of us.

词句：

infinite-[??nf?n?t]-无限的/无穷尽的/极多的/极度的。如：the infinite universe/Obviously, no company has infinite resources/an infinite variety of plants/a teacher with infinite patience.

shower-[??a??r]-洒落/纷纷降落/抛撒/使纷纷降落/淋浴/淋浴器/淋浴间/一大批/一连串。如：Volcanic ash(火山灰) showered down on the town/They were showered with rice in the traditional manner/She showered and dressed and went downstairs/a shower of leaves/a shower of kisses.

sail-[se?l]-掠(过)/飘(过)/起航/航行。如：Clouds are sailing across the sky/She sailed past me/We sail at 2 p.m. tomorrow/to sail into harbour(港口)/The boat sailed smoothly across the lake.

roll-[ro?l]-(使)翻滚/(使)滚动/(使)翻身/(使)成球状或管状/把衣服的边卷起来。如：The ball rolled into the net/We are rolling the product to pack it/The dog was rolling in the mud/She rolled over to let the sun brown her back/Mist(雾) was rolling in from the sea/He rolled another cigarette.

wrinkle-[?r??kl]-(使)皱起/(使)起皱纹。如：Her stockings wrinkled at the ankles/Her kid wrinkled her new skirt/She wrinkled up her nose in distaste.

erotic-[??rɑt?k]-色情的/性欲的/撩人的。近义词dissolute(放荡的/放纵的)-[?d?s??lut]。如：erotic art/There are photographs of nude women in erotic poses/It is beautiful but erotic.

wilful-[?w?lf?l]-任性的/固执的/故意的/成心的。同义词wayward-[?we?w?rd]。如：He is a wilful boy/Little Jack is becoming more and more wilful/That is absolutely a wilful damage.

engage-[?n?ɡe?d?]-从事/参加/吸引住/雇用/与…建立密切关系或理解…/啮合。如：to engage in criminal activities/to engage her in this meeting/to engage the attention of them/It is hard to engage with office life or people at office/to engage the four-wheel drive.

nevertheless-[?nev?re??les]-然而/不过。swallow-[?swɑ?lo?]-吞没/淹没/吞下/不流露/掩饰。如：I watched her swallowed by the darkness/The pills should be swallowed whole/Swallow your pride and be humble(谦逊的)。

linger-[?l??ɡ?r]-继续存留/缓慢消失/逗留/磨蹭/苟延残喘。如：The faint(淡的) smell of her perfume(香水) lingered in the room/She lingered for a few minutes to talk to him/Her eyes lingered on the ring on her finger/The old man lingered on for several months after the serious disease.

语法：

The infinite sky and showering snow leave me to sail further alone(不定式宾补，即leave sb to do sth). 也可以用“leave sb+adj”的宾补结构，句子变为leave me alone to sail further, to sail further作形容词alone的补语。

the rolling sand and the wrinkling water are laughing at the erotic and the wilful. the rolling sand由定语从句the sand that are rolling演变而来。the erotic and the wilful就如the young一样，是“the+形容词”表示“一类人或物”。

the instants engaging in fun(分词短语后置定语，等于定语从句that engages in fun) nevertheless swallow(谓语) the lingering loving moments of us

最后，不知道同学们对这里的时态使用有没有疑问？比如：The infinite sky and showering snow leave me to sail further alone. 因为leave是习惯行为，也就是过去现在未来都会leave me to sail further alone，因此使用一般现在时，就如He runs fast.

但散文诗歌的意境是可以模糊处理的，也就是说不同的人可能会对它们会产生不同的理解。因此leave也可以被认为是正在进行的动作，从而使用现在进行时are leaving me to sail further alone.

所以，即使认为leave和swallow两个动作，都是和are laughing一样的正在进行的动作，也无大碍。同学们可纵观全文，或结合前面的段落以及leave和swallow所在的段落里的意境，自行选择合理的时态。

当然，如果在实际生活场景里，则不可随便使用时态，如：I swallowed a pill(我吞服了一个药片)。这时则通常不可使用一般现在时：I swallow a pill，因为动作swallow在过去已经发生并结束了。

难吗？其实很简单，难在用合理的英文诠释这种具有散文或诗歌韵味的词句。这样的免费文章，是为了帮助大家提高写作和阅读能力的。盖住英文，自己对照中文写一遍，然后再对照我的英文范文逐步修改。无需再去花钱参加各种训练营培训班啦，写作一定是要自己多写多练才能出成果的。该怎么写，写什么，我已经在这里很清楚地告诉你们了。

别说中考高考，这样的文章应付雅思、托福、研究生考试的写作也是足够的。因为诗歌散文你都会了，普通文章不可能不会。但大家写的内容一定要保存好，以后的经常性回顾，即便是浏览，也能极大提高你的词汇量、写作能力、语法能力等。

阅读也是一样的，单词你不认识，词句你不理解，句子结构你不明白，再多的技巧都于事无补。几十年的时间里，我们一直在寻找技巧，为什么还是那么多同学阅读不行呢？因为没有所谓的技巧。多看这里的文章，多认识一些单词，多懂一些复杂的句子，多拓展一下自己的思路，比什么都强。

记住，同学们，能用逻辑理解的，就别用语法；逻辑理解了的，就别纠结语法。
