Section III Translation (15 points)

46. 【翻译原文】

In the late 18th century, William Wordsworth became famous for his poems about nature. And he was oneof the founders of a movement called Romanticism, which celebrated the wonders of the natural world.

Poetry is powerful. Its energy and rhythm can capture a reader, transport them to another world and make them see things differently, Through carefully selected words and phrases,poems can be dramatic, funny,beautiful,moving and inspiring

No one knows for sure when poetry began but it has been around for thousands of years, even before people could write It was a way to tell stories and pass down history. It is closely related to song and even when written it is usually created to be performed out loud.Poems really come tolife when they are recited. This canalso help with understanding them too, because the rhythm and sounds of the words become clearer.

【参考译文】

18世纪晚期，威廉·华兹华斯因其关于自然的诗歌而闻名。他是浪漫主义运动的创始人之一，该运动颂扬自然世界的奇迹。

诗歌是强大的。它的能量和节奏可以吸引读者，将他们带到另一个世界，让他们以不同的方式看待事物。通过精心挑选单词和短语，诗歌可以是戏剧性的、有趣的、美丽动人的和鼓舞人心的。

没有人确切地知道诗歌是什么时候开始的，但它已经存在了几千年，甚至在人们会写字之前就已经出现了。这是一种讲述故事和传承历史的方式。它和歌曲有着密切的关系，即使是在创作时，它也通常是大声演奏的。诗歌朗诵后才真正鲜活起来，因为单词的节奏和声音变得更清晰了，所以这也有助于理解它们。
