英语诗歌赏析--原创

Thinking in Bedby Dennis Lee     I'm thinking in bed，

    Cause I can't get out

    Till I learn how to think

    What I'm thinking about；

    What I'm thinking about

    Is a person to be

    A sort of a person

    Who feels like me.

    I might still be Alice，

    Excepting I'm not.

    And Snoopy is super，

    But not when it's hot；

    I couldn't be Piglet，

    I don't think I'm Pooh，

    I know I'm not Daddy

    And I can't be you.

    My breakfast is waiting.

    My clothes are all out，

    But what was that thing

    I was thinking about？

    I'll never get up

    If I lie here all day；

    But I still haven't thought，

    So I'll just have to stay.

    If I was a Grinch

    I expect I would know.

    But I don't think so.

    There's so many people

    I don't seem to be

    I guess I'll just have to

    Get up and be me.

这首诗处于加拿大是人Dennis lee.从诗中很多的卡通人物名称，我们可以猜想，作者是以孩子的口吻在表达自己的思想，也可以说是他写个孩子的诗。 I know I'm not Daddy

    And I can't be you.从这句话中，我们可以判断，孩子在跟妈妈对话。诗中出现的卡通人物，都是孩子喜闻乐见的形象，但是作者说“And Snoopy is super， But not when it's hot；

    I couldn't be Piglet，   I don't think I'm Pooh，”可见作者不希望孩子成为既定的某种人物形象和性格，而是要成为自己想成为的人，有自己的主见，独立的思考和想象空间。（ What I'm thinking about  Is a person to be    A sort of a person   Who feels like me.）诗人隐喻和拟人等修辞手法生动形象地鼓励孩子追求自我，独立思考和想象。
