poetry和poem的区别? poetry和poem的意思都是诗,那么两者的区别是什么呢?
1. poetry的意思也是诗,但为诗的总称,是遥数名词;用作主语时,谓语动词总是用单数。 如:
Poetry serves to stimulate the mind. 诗歌能激发心灵。
This writer’s poetry reflects his love of nature. 该作者的诗反映出他热爱自然。
Poetry has been composed since ancient times. 从古时起人们就开始创作诗歌了。
2. poem的意思是诗,为可数名词,可指具体的一首诗、两首诗、几首诗等;用作主语时,谓语动词的数取决于poem的数(即poem为单数,谓语动词用单数;poem为复数,谓语动词用复数)。 如:
His poems have been compared to those of the English Romantics. 他的诗歌被拿来与英国浪漫主义诗歌相提并论。
This poem is worth learning by heart. 这首诗是值得记起来的。
