二、閱讀理解
Friends are important to us. “A friend in need is a friend indeed!” Friends help us a lot. “What's near cinnabar (朱砂) goes red, and what's next to ink it turns black?” Friends also influence (影響) us a lot. And poets write about it. Let's enjoy two friendship poems from Chinese and Western writers.
To Wang Lun
By Li Bai (Tang Dynasty)
I, Li Bai, you about to go,
sit aboard a ship to go.
When suddenly on shore
your farewell songs overflow.
However deep
the Lake of Peach Blossoms may be,
It is not so deep, O Wang Lun!
As your love for me.
A Time to Talk
By Robert Frost
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don't stand still (靜止) and look around
On all the hills I haven't hoed (鋤),
And shout from where I am,
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
Both poems are famous in their cultures. But they tell different stories. In Li Bai's poem, his friend was seeing him off. US poet Robert Frost wrote about a friend's visit while he was working. Li made a comparison (比較). His poem shows the friendship between him and his friend is deeper than the deep water. Frost's poem, on the other hand, tells the readers that we should stop what we are doing to talk with friends. The language is simple but sincere (真誠(chéng)的).
