Tiger
！

Tiger
！

Burning bright

老虎！老虎！光焰闪耀，

In the forests of the night
，






在黑夜的丛林中熊熊燃烧，

What immortal hand or eye






什么样的不朽之手和眼

Could frame thy fearful symmetry
造成你那可怕的匀称外貌


In what distant deeps or skies



你眼中的烈火熊熊

Burnt the fire of thine eyes




来自多远的深处或高空

On what wings dare he aspire



他凭什么翅膀敢飞到九天

What the hand dare seize the fire
什么样的手敢去抓这火焰


And what shoulder, and what art
，




什么样的臂力，什么样的技艺

Could twist the sinews of thy heart
才能拧成你那心脏的腱肌

And when thy heart began to beat
，




什么样的手，什么样的脚，

What dread handAnd what dread feet
才使得你的心脏开始弹跳


What the hammerWhat the chain
用什么样的锤子什么样的链条

In what furnace was thy brain



在什么样的炉里炼成了你的大脑

What the anvil What dread grasp


在什么样的铁砧上用什么样的臂力

Dare its deadly terrors clasp





敢抓住这可以致命的可怕东西


When the stars threw down their spears
，

当星星投下他们的矛枪
，


And watered heaven with their tears
，





用他们的泪水浇灌穹苍，

Did he smile his work to see







他见到自己的作品时可微笑

Did he who made the Lamb make thee
难道是他造了你也造了羊羔


Tiger
！

Tiger
！

Burning bright



老虎！老虎！光焰闪耀，

In the forests of the night
，








在黑夜的丛林中熊熊燃烧，

What immortal hand or eye
，






什么样的不朽之手和眼

Dare frame thy fearful symmetry

造成你那可怕的匀称外貌

Abstract in English



The
Tiger
,
William
Blake’s
poem,
was
published
in
a
collection
of


poems:
Songs
of
Experience

in
1794.
Literary
critic
Alfred
Kazin
calls
it

most
famous
of
his
poems,
and
The
Cambridge
Companion
to
William Blake says it is
of
Blake's
most
reinterpreted
and
arranged
works.
In
the
thesis,
I
will
attempt to make a stylistic analysis of this poem; the analyses will focus
on the poem’s rhythm and rhetoric. The aim is to let readers understand
the
distinctive
features
and
inner
meaning
of
this
poem,
at
the
same
time, understand the poet’s emotion on this poem.

Introduction


Brief
Introduction
of
the
Author
—
William
Blake


William Blake is a transitional figure that marks the end of the 18th
century and the beginning of the 19th century in literature. He tries to
show the romantic ideas but the form he used is conventional, close to
the 18th century. And of all the romantic poets of the eighteenth century,
William
Blake
is
the
most
independent
and
the
most
original
poet.
Blake's
early
work
was
written
in
a
classical
style.
Later
he
used
the
romantic style made popular by Wordsworth and Coleridge.

Blake
was
born
in
London
and
educated
at
Henry
Pars
Drawing
School.
After
becoming
established
as
a
graphic
designer
and
drawing
tutor, he opened a print shop in London in 1784. He lived in Sussex from
1800 to 1803, during which time he was charged with high treason but
acquitted. He returned to London and staged a rather unsuccessful show
of
his
artistic
work
in
1809,
after
which
he
went
into
obscurity
and
became a mystic.

As
a
supporter
of
the
French
Revolution,
he
openly
criticized
the
social
evils
that
he
linked
with
the
Industrial
Revolution.
His
work
is
usually seen in the context of his social, political and religious beliefs. He
was
not
really
understood
by
his
peers,
but
twentieth-century
readers
appreciate the greatness he achieved in his varied fields of interest.




The
Writing
Background
of
The
Tiger

The
Songs
of
Experience

was
published
in
1794.
At
that
time,
the
French Revolution and the American War of Independence broken out.
For Black, an underprivileged craftsman lived in London. Which had been
internalized
into
great
spiritual
event,
not
just
in
generally
favor,
but
warmly support. And it inspired him to battle bravely in his heart for the
new world as a prophecy of his imminent.
The

Tiger
is written in such a
background
and
expresses
a
strong
desire
for
revolutionary
feelings.
Blake puts violent revolution as a great spiritual power that can destroy
an old world which represses and imprisons people, and the world can
transform the human soul in order to establish an earthly kingdom .
