{{B}}Directions:{{/B}} Read the following passage carefully and then translate each
underlined part into Chinese. 71. {{U}}It was not until modern
scholarship uncovered the secret of reading Middle English that we could
understand that Chaucer, far from being a rude versifier, was a perfectly
accomplished technician, and that his verse is rich in music and elegant to the
highest degree{{/U}}. 72. {{U}}Chaucer's own urbane personality is a delight to
encounter in his books. He is avowedly a bookworm, yet few poets observe nature
with more freshness and delight. He is a master of genial satire but can
sympathize with true piety and goodness with as much pleasure as he attacks the
hypocritical{{/U}}. 73. {{U}}It is not an uncommon estimate of
Chaucer that he must be counted among the few greatest of English poets. In
range of interest he is surpassed only by Shakespeare. He was recognized already
in the Renaissance, when it came to England, as the Father of English Poetry. He
was a man of wide learning and wrote with ease on religion, philosophy, ethics,
science, rhetoric{{/U}}. No man has more completely summed up an
age than Chaucer has his, yet the people of his great poems are revealed as men
and women are in all times. Master of verse, as Chaucer was, he
introduced into English poetry many verse forms; the heroic couplet (in which
form most of The Canterbury Tales is written), verse written in iambic
pentameter, rhyming aa, bb, cc, etc.——a form that was to be very important in
the eighteenth century. The rime royal, a seven-line stanza in iambic
pentameters, rhyming ababbcc (Troilus and Criseyde). The terza rima, three-line
stanzas, rhyming aba, bcb, cdc, etc. (which he imitated from Dante, in some of
his minor poems). And the eight line iambic pentameter stanza, rhyming ababbcbc(
The Monk's Tale).
