来看今天的英语二短文翻译练习：

In the late 18th century, William Wordsworth became famous for his poems about nature. And he was one of the founders of a movement called Romanticism, which celebrated the wonders of the natural world.Poetry is powerful. Its energy and rhythm can capture a reader, transport them to another world and make them see things differently, Through carefully selected words and phrases, poems can be dramatic, funny, beautiful, moving and inspiring.No one knows for sure when poetry began but it has been around for thousands of years, even before people could write. It was a way to tell stories and pass down history.It is closely related to song and even when written it is usually created to be performed out loud. Poems really come to life when they are recited, This can also help with understanding them too, because the rhythm and sounds of the words become clearer.

下面是对应的参考译文：

18世纪晚期，威廉·华兹华斯靠写自然的诗火了——他还是浪漫主义运动的创始人之一，这运动就是要夸自然世界的妙处。诗歌这东西特有劲儿——它的节奏和能量能把读者勾住，拽到另一个世界里，还能让人大换角度看事儿。靠精心挑的词儿和短语，诗歌能写出戏剧性，能逗人笑，能美能戳心，还能给人打气。没人能说清诗歌打哪儿来，但它都存在好几千年了——连人类会写字之前就有了。那时候人们全靠它讲故事、传历史。诗歌和歌曲关系特近，就算是写下来的诗，一般也是为了大声念出来才写的。诗歌得念出来才活——词儿的节奏和声音一清楚，理解起来也容易多了。
