Greetings and welcome to this collection of romantic poetry. I’m Joe, and this is MT English. And I’ll be taking you through some of the key poets of the romantic era. We’ll start with William Blake, and move on to Coleridge and Wordsworth and some of the great famous poets, such as Shelley, Byron and Keats.

欢迎大家收听这个浪漫主义诗歌专辑。我是周，这是MT英语。我将带你们学习一些浪漫主义时期的优秀诗人的诗歌。我们将从威廉布莱克的诗歌开始介绍，然后我们会介绍柯勒律治和华兹华斯以及一些著名的诗人如雪莱，拜伦和济慈等人的诗歌。

So who does this kind of album benefit? And why would we want to look at romantic poetry? The romantic period was roughly from 1785 to 1830s. And it’s an incredibly important part of British culture, one of the highlights（最重要的部分）of British literature as well. 

那么，学习本专辑将获得什么呢？我们为什么要选择浪漫主义诗歌来学呢？浪漫主义时期是指约从1785年到1830年的这段时间。浪漫主义诗歌是英国文化和英国文学最重要的组成部分之一。

So what kind of themes that people look at? Romanticism（浪漫主义）deals with the freedom of thought, freedom of oppression（压迫）in a very politically repressive period. And it also teaches people to connect to nature and their own imagination to realize their own potential of human beings.

那么在这段时期人们关注的主题是什么呢？浪漫主义体现了处在一个政治压迫时期人们对自由思想和反压迫的向往。它还鼓励人们去亲近自然，发挥想象力去实现人类的潜力。

So romanticism really is about opening your mind, being more open to the great ideas in the world of nature, and the possibility of thought. So whether you’re doing business, whether you’re a student in university, poetry can really enhance your life and bring so many great things to your mind. 

浪漫主义的实质就是开放思想，打开你对自然界中伟大的想法和思想可能性的思维。所以无论你是在做生意的商人，还是在大学里的学生，诗歌都能提升你的生活，给你的思想带来很多美好的东西。

And it goes without saying(不用多说) the reading in poetry really enhances not only your English, but also your critical thinking and the way that you look at problems and deeply understand things rather than just read the words.

不用多说，阅读诗歌不仅能提高你的英语能力，还能够帮助你提升批判性思维和深入理解事物，深度思考的能力，而不仅仅是读一些英语单词。 

So hope you can join us for this album and learn about the great poems of Britain during the romantic period.

希望你们能加入，和我们一起学习英国浪漫时期的伟大诗歌。
