DREAM
Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird
That cannot fly.
Hold fast to dreams,
For when dreams go
Life is a barren field
Frozen with snow.

If love were what the rose is,
And I were like the leaf,
Our lives would grow together
In sad or singing weather,
Blown fields or flowerful closes,
Green pleasure or gray grief;
If love were what the rose is,
And I were like the leaf.
A.C. Swinburne

A Match
The poem Dream by Langston Hughes is very short with only 8 lines. When I read the pome aloud I can hear that the ends of the second and fourth sentences rhyme--- “die” and “fly”. The last word from the sixth and eighth sentences also rhyme--- “go” and “snow”. These rhyming words sound nice and make the poem pleasing to read.
When I close my eyes, I can see different images from the poem. For example, I can see two hands being held. I can see a bird flying in the sky. I can see a field and I can imagine what it looks like with lots of snow. I start to feel cold when I read these lines!
I learnt a new phrase, “hold fast”, which means to hold onto something. “Barren” is also a new word to me, which means empty.
I think the poet is giving us advice. He wants us to keep dreaming, because life is much better when we dream and have something to look forward to.

Sympathy on the Farmers
At noon, farmers are weeding，
Down the field, sweat is dropping.
Who knows rice on a dish，
Every grain is full of moiling（v.辛勤）

Activity 4 Writing
译文：
农民在中午的时候在田地里除草，一滴滴的汗掉在了土地里。可又有谁能知道这盘中饭菜的来历，每一粒都是那么的辛苦。
简析：这首诗是写劳动的艰辛，农民的劳动果实来之不易。第一、二句“锄禾日当午，汗滴禾下土”描绘出在烈日当空的正午，农民仍然在田里劳动，这两句诗选择特定的场景，形象生动地写出劳动的艰辛。有了这两句具体的描写，就使得第三、四句“谁知盘中餐，粒粒皆辛苦”的感叹和告诫免于空洞抽象的说教，而成为有血有肉、意蕴深远的格言。
这首诗没有从具体人、事落笔，它所反映的不是个别人的遭遇，而是整个农民的生活和命运。诗人选择比较典型的生活细节和人们熟知的事实，深刻揭露了不合理的社会制度。告诉人们应该节约食物，不浪费。

Here is a poem titled “Sympathy on the Farmers” by Li Shen who is popular with Chinese readers.
It goes like this: Hot as it is outside at this summer noon time, the farmers are still weeding in the fields. They are wet all over with their sweat frequently falling into the soil, where the crops grow. But who knows exactly all our foods, the delicious dishes on our table, come from the hard work of the farmers
The reason why Li Shen wrote this poem is to remind people of the importance of the farmers’ hard work. I think it’s of great significance that the young generation today should understand the poem and treasure every grain.
