5. “Aunt Jennifer’s Tigers” Adrienne Rich  Aunt Jennifer’s tigers prance across a screen, Bright topaz denizens in a world of green. They do not fear the men beneath the tree; They pace in sleek chivalric certainty. Aunt Jennifer’s fingers fluttering through her wool Find even the ivory needle hard to pull. The massive weight of Uncle’s wedding band Sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer’s hand. When Aunt is dead, her terrified hands will lie Still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by. The tigers in the panel that she made Will go on prancing, proud and unafraid. 杰妮夫姨妈的老虎在屏风上窜腾，安居在绿草世界犹如黄玉般晶亮。对于树下的人类它们不屑畏惧；自信的步态骑士般孔武而自如。詹妮孚姨妈的手指在毛线间摸索，甚至那象牙色钩针也难以穿梭。姨父硕大的婚戒沉甸甸地缠绕将詹妮孚姨妈的手指紧紧套牢。姨妈亡故，她惊颤的双手终于放松但主宰终生的磨难依然是她的指环。她编织的装饰图案中，那些老虎继续窜腾，一如既往，傲岸且无灵活运用，押韵＼铺垫＼借代＼比喻＼联想等多种修辞手法，烘托出悲怆的气氛，逼真描绘女主人公被男权社会压迫的命运，与威风凛凛的老虎形象形成鲜明对比，表达作者对男权社会，女人的地位状况的同情和不满。The fearful, gloomy woman waiting inside her darkening room for the emotional and meteorological devastation to hit could be Aunt Jennifer, who is similarly passive and terrified, overwhelmed by events that eclipsed her small strength. Aunt Jennifers Tigers is, however, an even clearer statement of conflict in women, specifically between the impulse to freedom and imagination (her tapestry of prancing tigers) and the massive weight of gender roles and expectations, signified by Uncles wedding band. Although separated through the use of the third person and a different generation, neither Aunt Jennifer in her ignorance nor Rich as a poet recognizes the fundamental implications of the division between imagination and duty, power and passivity. The tigers display in art the values that Aunt Jennifer must repress or displace in life: strength, assertion, fearlessness, fluidity of motion. 7. This is Just To Say William Carlos Williams I have eaten the plums that were in the icebox and which you were probably saving for breakfast. Forgive me they were delicious so sweet and so cold. 我吃了冰箱里的梅子它们大概是你留着当早餐用的原谅我它们太好吃了那么甜那么凉
