美国国家公共电台 NPR We're Looking For Poems On Teamwork

STEVE INSKEEP, HOST:
National Poetry Month just ended, but, really, when is it ever not time for a poem? MORNING EDITION is teaming with our contributor and poet Kwame Alexander, and we need your help. We need you to submit a poem made of couplets.
DAVID GREENE, HOST:
Couplets did you say, Steve, couplets? Well, what are those, you wonder? Well, here's a clip from Rachel Martin's conversation with Kwame Alexander. He read an excerpt 1 from his new book on our program yesterday.
(SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED BROADCAST)
KWAME ALEXANDER: (Reading) Game so deep, it's below. Air so swift, you breathe slow. Watch me fly from the free throw. Superman is sweet, yo. But Rachel is my heat, bro.
RACHEL MARTIN, BYLINE 2: Come on.
ALEXANDER: (Laughter).
MARTIN: It doesn't say that in the book, but I like that refresh (ph) (laughter).
ALEXANDER: Well, I added that line for you, Rachel. But a couplet is really easy. It's two lines, and the lines rhyme. And we want it to be about teamwork, having a team around you to help you rebound 3 on and off the court. Take it literally 4, or you can take it metaphorically 5.
MARTIN: Yeah.
INSKEEP: The NPR headquarters here has one of those electronic signs with news headlines creeping across them this morning. The headlines included a poetry call-out.
GREENE: And to submit your two-line poem about teamwork - something we know a lot about at this show - you can go to npr.org/morningpoem.

- His byline was absent as well.他的署名也不见了。
- We wish to thank the author of this article which carries no byline.我们要感谢这篇文章的那位没有署名的作者。
- The vibrations accompanying the rebound are the earth quake.伴随这种回弹的振动就是地震。

- He translated the passage literally.他逐字逐句地翻译这段文字。
- Sometimes she would not sit down till she was literally faint.有时候，她不走到真正要昏厥了，决不肯坐下来。
- It is context and convention that determine whether a term will be interpreted literally or metaphorically. 对一个词的理解是按字面意思还是隐喻的意思要视乎上下文和习惯。
