  罗伯特·彭斯和他的诗歌

  [第1~3段译文]

  苏格兰文学巨匠罗伯特·彭斯于1759年出生在苏格兰的阿洛韦。彭斯有待人风趣、友好的好名声。但是,他出生在一个负债累累的贫困家庭,而且从来没有挣到过很多钱。

  人们说彭斯的第一位恋人内莉·柯克帕特里克鼓励他创作诗歌。他最受欢迎的诗歌中的两首《致小鼠》和《圣集》都出现在他的第一本诗集中。在他的第一本诗集出版后,他闻名全国。然后,他搬到了既是苏格兰首府又是苏格兰最大城市的爱丁堡。彭斯是当时有名的诗人,但他并没有比以前富裕多少,不得不靠做农活维持生计。

  艰辛的生活和虚弱的体质缩短了彭斯的生命。他于1796年去世,享年37岁。整个苏格兰都哀悼他的逝世,随后许多人捐款资助他的遗孀和孩子们。
