難句突破：
(1) In this edition of his later poems, a substantial gathering of verses selected from six volumes published over the past 20 years, his poetry does not so much consist of themes to be explored as comic routines to be improvised.
[主體結(jié)構(gòu)] His poetry does not so much consist of ...
[結(jié)構(gòu)分析] 本句為簡(jiǎn)單句，作狀語(yǔ)的介詞短語(yǔ)成分比較復(fù)雜，a substantial gathering of verses是edition的同位語(yǔ)，該同位語(yǔ)是帶有作定語(yǔ)的分詞短語(yǔ)。在主句中，不定式短語(yǔ)to be explored...用來(lái)修飾themes, 而不定式短語(yǔ)to be improvised 又用來(lái)修飾comic routines.
[句子譯文] 他這本晚些出版的詩(shī)集選編了過(guò)去20年間出版的六本詩(shī)集中的詩(shī)歌，其主題不再是象那種臨時(shí)準(zhǔn)備的老套滑稽節(jié)目，他戲謔詩(shī)歌本身具有嚴(yán)肅性這個(gè)話題
(2) This is often the poet's stock-in-trade, but he seems to single them out in order to send up the very idea of the simile in poetry, as in "Violets blossomed loudly/ like a swear word in an empty tank".
[主體句式] This is ... but he ...
[結(jié)構(gòu)分析] 這是一個(gè)并列句，后面分句成份較為復(fù)雜，帶有一個(gè)不定式短語(yǔ)作目的狀語(yǔ)，as 引導(dǎo)成分修飾的是整個(gè)分句。
[句子譯文] 雖然這是詩(shī)人的慣用手法，但他卻把這些比喻單獨(dú)挑出來(lái)，以突出詩(shī)里面明喻這個(gè)概念。比如"紫羅蘭縱聲開(kāi)放/ 宛如空桶里的一句毒誓"。
