我在这里着重介绍对英语材料的素材收集,以Prince Caspain: the Return to Narnia为例
首先，对景色的描写:
唯美的有月亮的晚上的景色描写
She went towards the light and came to a place where there were fewer trees, and whole patches or pools of moonlight, but the moonlight and the shadows so mixed that you could hardly be sure where anything was or what it was.
光与影的交织，月光的朦胧美，这样的夜晚，给人一种梦幻的感觉。
另外还有压头韵的短语的收集:
Alliteration: bracken and branches
Through a gap in the bracken and branches she could just see a patch of water in the Creek and the sky above it.
Bracken n. 长在山上或林间的(欧洲厥)
Braken is a large plant with leaves that are divided into many thin sections. It grows on hills and in woods.
这里再另外补充一下相关的头韵
Pride and prejudice 《傲慢与偏见》
sense and sensibility 《理智与情感》
Coffee Corner
这里是辅韵(consonance)
词语中辅音因素重复，多见绕口令
She sells seashells by the sea shore.
另外我再补充一下英文中韵的知识
rhyme
即元音和后面的辅音同，但元音前的辅音不同
Great and late
Book and look
又比如中国古代的诗歌柳宗元《江雪》中的名句“千山鸟飞绝，万径人踪灭”的经典英文翻译
From hill to hill no bird in flight,
From path to path no man in sight.
还有对于一些修辞语句的收集:
对树木的极致拟人化
1.She looked at a silver birth: it would have a soft, showery voice and would look like a slender girl, with hair blown all about her face, and fond of dancing.
这是对白桦的描写
2.She looked at the oak: he would be a wizened, but hearty old man with a frizzled beared and warts on his face and hands, and hair growing out of the warts.
这是对橡树的描写
Wizened (人)皮肤起皱
A wizened person is old and has a lot of lines on their skin.
Wart: a small lump which grows on your skin
3.She looked at the beech under which she was standing. Ah! She would be the best of all. She would be a gracious goddess, smooth and stately, the lady of the wood.
这是对山毛榉的描写
读书可以发现很多东西，在书中我们追寻，在书中我们探寻，在书中我们成长，在书中我们开拓我们的认知，在书中我们认识自己，认识世界!
