求此poem的主題, 解釋, 暗喻, 背後的意思. 原文如下:

The widest prairies have electric fences,
For though old cattle know they must not stray.
Young steers are always scenting purer water
Not here but everywhere. Beyond the wires

Leads them to blunder up against the wires
Whose muscle-shredding violence gives no quarter.
Young steers become old cattle from that day,
Electric limits to their widest senses.

THX A LOT

✔ 最佳答案
請先明白字句的表面意思:

The widest prairies have electric fences,最廣闊的牧場有通了電的圍欄
For though old cattle know they must not stray.雖然,老牛知道切勿踏足圍欄那裡
Young steers are always scenting purer water但是,年青的小牛經常嗅到更清純的水
Not here but everywhere. Beyond the wires不是在牧場中,是在圍欄以外的每處地方

Leads them to blunder up against the wires這令牠們猛力撞向圍欄
Whose muscle-shredding violence gives no quarter.牠們撕裂肌肉般的暴力,對牠們毫無憐憫 (牠們的肌肉被電到很痛苦)
Young steers become old cattle from that day,從那天開始,年青的小牛變成老牛
Electric limits to their widest senses.電力局限了牠們最廣闊的觸覺。

作者以不同的東西比喻:
牧場-----生存環境 圍欄-----困難,阻礙,打擊 ,現實
老牛-----經歷過鍛鍊的人 小牛------年青,入世不深的人
更清純的水------更高的理想、更有意義的生活、更高的道德指標
猛力撞-----努力爭取、跨越限制
撕裂肌肉的痛苦------身心受創傷
便成老牛-----受過教訓和挫折後,降服下來、放棄理想、消極,退縮
電力局限了.......覺-----痛苦的經歷握殺了求進取和尋理想的慾望,令視野變得狹窄

有了以上的資料,我想:主題、解釋、暗喻和背後意思,你經過思考,都能答得出。
