William Carlos Williams
William Carlos Williams (September 17, 1883 – March 4, 1963), was an American poet closely associated with modernism and Imagism. He was also a paediatrician and general practitioner of medicine. Williams "worked harder at being a writer than he did at being a physician," wrote biographer Linda Wagner-Martin. During his long lifetime, Williams excelled both as a poet and a physician.
威廉·卡洛斯·威廉斯是20世纪美国最负盛名的几个诗人之一,与象征派和意象派联系紧密。他还是全科及小儿科医师。他反对维多利亚诗风(尤其是T·S·艾略特),既受到庞德等人影响,又继承了浪漫派传统,推陈出新,力求贴近生活语言。

赏析
这是威廉斯最著名的一首小诗。本诗体现了诗人的一贯主张,即把诗歌创作深深扎根于现实生活中。《红色手推车》正是写平平淡淡的一组景象所带给读者的惊喜。诗歌所展现的是骤雨初歇时农家院子中的情景,他以以一幅静物写生的手法,寥寥数笔,把雨痕著物的澄澈景象栩栩如生的展现在读者眼前。手推车、雨珠和白鸡都是极为平常的事物,然而,诗人却能以极其细腻的感受能力,通过物体在画面中的特殊定位和鲜明的色彩形成对比,使邻家院子里的雨霁天晴时分那番熟悉景象永恒定格在美国文学史上。整首诗读来清新自然,色彩鲜明,动静结合,情景堪画。平凡的生活取之不竭的美由此而充分展现出来。在诗歌的形式上,诗人也颇具有独创。他似乎认为在描述这些平凡的事物时无需采用大写字母,因此,全诗所有单词均采用小写形式。威廉的诗歌正是以这样的多重性感染着后辈诗人和广大读者的。
Spring and All William Carlos Williams
By the road to the contagious hospitalunder the surge of the bluemottled clouds driven from thenortheast—a cold wind. Beyond, thewaste of broad, muddy fieldsbrown with dried weeds, standing and fallenpatches of standing waterthe scattering of tall trees
沿着去传染病院的路上
凛冽的东北风
驱赶着斑驳的蓝云
如波涛般奔涌。远处
广漠泥泞的荒原上
满地苍黄,野草时起时伏
几潭凝滞的死水
几株零落的大树
All along the road the reddishpurplish, forked, upstanding, twiggystuff of bushes and small treeswith dead, brown leaves under themleafless vines—
Lifeless in appearance, sluggishdazed spring approaches—
沿途色彩斑斓,淡红
浅紫, 开叉的,直立的, 细枝繁茂的
灌木丛, 低矮的树木上
垂着几片黄叶, 再下面
是无叶的枯藤――
外表毫无生气,步履艰难地
春天茫然地走来
They enter the new world naked,
cold, uncertain of allsave that they enter. All about themthe cold, familiar wind—Now the grass, tomorrowthe stiff curl of wildcarrot leaf
它们闯入这崭新的世界,***裸
凉冰冰,一无所知
只
