一、Explication of Pablo Neruda’s Poem托福聽力原文：

NARRATOR:Listen to a conversation between a student and his creative writing professor.FEMALE PROFESSOR:John,listen,I can clearly see that you put a lot of time into your response paper...MALE STUDENT:I did!It took me forever.I rewrote it a dozen times.FEMALE PROFESSOR:And your hard work shows.Unfortunately…it's a week late.MALE STUDENT:I know,sorry.I just got a little behind—y’know,sports and homework…But I’m on top of things now.

FEMALE PROFESSOR:Glad to hear it.Now,as for our meeting today…I like to talk to all of my creative writing students one-on-one at least once during the term and see how they’re doing.

MALE STUDENT:I think I'm doing OK.Busy,you know,but other than that…FEMALE PROFESSOR:Well,I've found through the years that some of my assignments can be pretty tough for first year students like yourself.Like the response paper you just did—the explication of a Pablo Neruda poem.Uh,by the way,why did you choose“The Lemon”?It's an…unusual choice.MALE STUDENT:It was my favorite in a book of Neruda’s poems.All the poems are about everyday objects and,y’know,simple pleasures.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Right.Elemental Odes.One of my favorites.

MALE STUDENT:I liked how Neruda took things like fruit and vegetables and...socks...and used metaphors and similes to describe them as these wonderful,mysterious things.Like in“The Lemon,”he describes a lemon falling to Earth from the stars!And he compares a slice of lemon to a stained-glass window.It’s so original.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Beautiful images,aren’t they?Neruda didn’t win the Nobel Prize for literature by accident.

MALE STUDENT:No,he didn't.

FEMALE PROFESSOR:Now,as you know,the paper was only the first half of the assignment…and I'm concerned about your ability to complete the second part on time considering how much time the first part took you.MALE STUDENT:Actually,..I finished it just before I came here.FEMALE PROFESSOR:Excellent!MALE STUDENT:It was tricky,too—you know,having to write a poem inspired by“The Lemon”—but in a completely different style.

FEMALE PROFESSOR:Right.MALE STUDENT:In order to do that,I really had to study Neruda's style and read a lot of his stuff—which was great.But...“The Lemon”is free verse.So to do the assignment,I decided to use a strict meter—iambic pentameter—to be as different as possible.FEMALE PROFESSOR:So each line of your poem has ten syllables,and every other syllable is stressed…Interesting choice.Iambic pentameter is certainly different from free verse!MALE STUDENT:It was hard for me,though,because usually when I write a poem,I choose my own topic and—I just write,I don’t worry about counting syllables or anything.So...I'm kinda hoping we won’t have more assignments like this.

FEMALE PROFESSOR:Sorry to disappoint you,but these assignments are designed to get you out of your comfort zone…to get you reading and writing a wide variety of poetic styles.

二、Explication of Pablo Neruda’s Poem托福聽力中文翻譯：

旁白：聽一個(gè)學(xué)生和他的創(chuàng)意寫作教授之間的對(duì)話。女教授：約翰，聽著，我清楚地看到你在答卷上花了很多時(shí)間……男學(xué)生：我花了！這花了我一輩子的時(shí)間。我重寫了十幾遍。女教授：你的努力工作證明了這一點(diǎn)。不幸的是…晚了一周。男學(xué)生：我知道，對(duì)不起。我只是有點(diǎn)落后，你知道，運(yùn)動(dòng)和家庭作業(yè)……但我現(xiàn)在掌握了一切。

女教授：很高興聽到。現(xiàn)在，關(guān)于我們今天的會(huì)議……我想在學(xué)期中至少與我所有的創(chuàng)意寫作學(xué)生一對(duì)一地交談一次，看看他們?cè)谧鍪裁础?/p>

男學(xué)生：我覺得我做得很好。很忙，你知道，但除此之外…女教授：好吧，多年來我發(fā)現(xiàn)我的一些作業(yè)對(duì)像你這樣的一年級(jí)學(xué)生來說很難。就像答卷一樣，你只是解釋了巴勃羅·尼魯達(dá)的一首詩。順便問一下，你為什么選擇“檸檬”？這是一個(gè)……不同尋常的選擇。男學(xué)生：這是我最喜歡的一本聶魯達(dá)詩集。所有的詩都是關(guān)于日常事物和簡(jiǎn)單的快樂。女教授：對(duì)。元素頌歌。我的最愛之一。

男學(xué)生：我喜歡聶魯達(dá)如何看待水果、蔬菜和襪子等事物，并用隱喻和明喻來形容這些奇妙、神秘的事物。就像在《檸檬》中，他描述了一個(gè)從星星上掉到地球上的檸檬！他把一片檸檬比作彩色玻璃窗。它太新穎了。女教授：美麗的圖像，不是嗎？聶魯達(dá)并非偶然獲得諾貝爾文學(xué)獎(jiǎng)。

男學(xué)生：不，他沒有。

女教授：現(xiàn)在，正如你所知，論文只是作業(yè)的前半部分……考慮到第一部分花費(fèi)了你多少時(shí)間，我擔(dān)心你能否按時(shí)完成第二部分。男學(xué)生：事實(shí)上，……我在來這里之前就完成了。女教授：太棒了！男學(xué)生：你知道，寫一首受《檸檬》啟發(fā)的詩也很棘手，但風(fēng)格完全不同。

女教授：對(duì)。男學(xué)生：為了做到這一點(diǎn)，我真的必須學(xué)習(xí)聶魯達(dá)的風(fēng)格，讀他的很多東西，這很好。但是……《檸檬》是自由詩。因此，為了完成這項(xiàng)任務(wù)，我決定使用嚴(yán)格的抑揚(yáng)格五步格，盡可能地與眾不同。女教授：所以你的詩每行有十個(gè)音節(jié)，每一個(gè)音節(jié)都有重音……有趣的選擇。伊安五音步肯定不同于自由詩！男學(xué)生：但這對(duì)我來說很難，因?yàn)橥ǔ．?dāng)我寫詩的時(shí)候，我會(huì)選擇自己的主題，我只寫，我不擔(dān)心計(jì)算音節(jié)或其他什么。所以…我有點(diǎn)希望我們不會(huì)有更多這樣的任務(wù)。

女教授：很抱歉讓你失望，但這些作業(yè)是為了讓你走出舒適區(qū)……讓你閱讀和寫作各種各樣的詩歌風(fēng)格。
