　　最滑稽荒誕的詩人——納什

　　Brief Introduction of Ogden Nash

　　Ogden Nash (1902－1971), a master of light, whimsical, and sometimes nonsensical verse, started his writing career at Doubleday Page Publishers, where he wrote his first children’s book with Joseph Algers, The Cricket of Garador, in 1925. His first piece of satiric verse Spring Comes to Murray Hill was published in 1930.

　　In an environment in which people cared little about poetry, Nash managed to be one of the most popular and most quoted poets of his time. His turn of the phrase, his puns, and his nonsensical rhymes appealed to people of all ages. He was well regarded by critics and the public alike for his inventive titles, his unlikely rhymes, and his ridiculous play on words.

　　Nash possessed a style that was very irregular indeed. Sometimes his poems contained only a handful of words; at other times they went on for several lines before ending in a clever or sometimes nonsensical rhyme. On many occasions he invented a word to fit the rhyme. Not only are his lines and rhymes irregular, but the length of his poems varied greatly. Some verses would go on for pages at a time, while others began and ended abruptly in two lines.

　　Although the Atlantic Monthly heralded Nash as "God’s gift to the United States" for his insightful commentary on 20th-century America, his work had international appeal. His poems were humorous not only because they made people laugh, but also because they contained some truth of human experience. He believed that his writing was not just for kids, but rather lay in a gray area between child and adult worlds.

　　奧格登·納什簡介

　　奧格登·納什（1902－1971）是一名輕松、滑稽、有時甚至可稱作是荒誕詩歌的大師。在Doubleday出版社工作期間，他與Joseph Algers在1925年合著了其第一本兒童讀物－－The Cricket of Garador，從而開始了其寫作生涯。1930年，他的第一首諷刺詩Spring Comes to Murray Hill發(fā)表。

　　在一個詩歌不被關(guān)注的環(huán)境下，納什努力使自己成為那個時代最受歡迎、最常被引用的詩人之一。他的措辭安排、雙關(guān)語的運(yùn)用，荒誕的押韻吸引了各年齡段的讀者。他本人，就如同其詩歌的創(chuàng)造性的標(biāo)題、不同尋常的押韻、荒謬的措辭一樣，備受評論家和公眾的推崇。

　　納什的詩風(fēng)非常獨(dú)特。他的詩或有數(shù)行，或只有寥寥數(shù)字；或以巧妙的押韻結(jié)尾，或以荒誕的韻腳收行。很多時候，他甚至創(chuàng)造一個詞來滿足押韻的要求。他的詩不光在詩行和押韻上獨(dú)特，詩的長度也變化很大。有的詩長達(dá)數(shù)頁，而有的詩卻只有不連貫的兩行。

　　納什對20世紀(jì)的美國洞察深刻，評論精辟，被《大西洋月刊》稱為“上帝賜予美國的禮物”，但實(shí)際上他的作品在全世界都具有很大的影響力。說他的詩是幽默的，不僅因?yàn)樗�的詩能使人發(fā)笑，還因?yàn)檫@些詩能讓人體會到人生經(jīng)驗(yàn)的真諦。他相信，他的文字不僅僅是寫給孩子們的, 而是應(yīng)被放在一個孩子和成年人世界之間的灰色地域。
