Упр.64 Unit 3 ГДЗ English Михеева 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 11 класс, Просвещение: 64. Listen to the poems (No 15, 16) and say what their messages are. Upon Westminster Bridge by William Wordsworth Earth has not anything to show more fair: Dull would he be of soul who could pass by A sight so touching in its majesty: This city now doth1 like a garment wear The beauty of the morning; silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie Open unto the fields, and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air. Never did sun more beautifully steep In his first splendour valley, rock, or hill; Ne’er2 saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth2 at his own sweet will: Dear God! the very houses seem asleep; And all that mighty heart is lying still! Venice by Samuel Rogers There is a glorious City in the Sea, The Sea is the broad, the narrow streets, Ebbing and flowing; and the salt sea-weed Clings to the marble of her palaces. No track of men, no footsteps to and fro, Lead to her gates. The path lies o’er1 the Sea, Invisible; and from the land we went, As to a floating City — steering in, And gliding up her streets as in a dream, So smoothly, silently — by many a dome Mosque-like, and many a stately portico, The statues ranged along an azure sky; By many a pile in more than eastern splendour, Of old the residence of merchant-kings; The fronts of some, though time had shattered them, Still glowing with the richest hues of art, As though the wealth within them had run o’er. 1-‘o’er = over *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.

Ответ

The message of Upon Westminster Bridge is that early morning London is beautiful, peaceful and almost magical. The poet admires the city in silence and calm.

The message of Venice is that Venice is a wonderful, dreamlike city on the sea, full of beauty, history and splendour.
