　　[第4～5段译文],　　在苏格兰格拉斯哥的乔治广场有一尊彭斯的塑像。这座纪念彭斯的塑像于1877年首次对公众展出，那一天被定为假日，约有三万人出来观看。由此，我们可以看出苏格兰人是多么地崇拜彭斯。位于阿洛韦彭斯出生的房子，现在是展示他生平和作品的博物馆。,彭斯属于一个被称为"浪漫主义诗人"的诗人团体包括约翰·济慈和威廉·华兹华斯。浪漫主义运动始于1780年左右，大约持续至1830年。这一时期的诗歌通常关注比如像自由和美丽这样的概念，并且倾向于运用想象和触及强烈的情感。

　　　　The Romantic poets were very interested in nature, and often used it as a theme in their poetry. This is probably why Burns talked about a rose in his famous poem, 'A Red, Red Rose'. He wrote in the same way the Scottish people spoke back then, which explains why the spelling looks rather strange\s\up1(22(22). Note how 'love' is spelt 'luve'， how 'well' is spelt 'weel' and how 'go' is spelt 'gang'. The poem was published in 1794 and, like many of Burns's poems, it was intended to be\s\up1(23(23) a song. Burns divided this poem into four short sections consisting of four lines each\s\up1(24(24). These sections in a poem are like paragraphs\s\up1(25(25) in an article. The second and fourth lines of each section rhyme\s\up1(26(26).

　　Poetry is usually full of symbols, and 'A Red, Red Rose' is no different. With the line 'O my Luve's like a red, red rose'， he compares the girl he loves to\s\up1(27(27) a red rose. He goes on to compare her to a song in the lines 'O my Luve's like the melodie\s\up1(28(28)/That's sweetly play'd in tune\s\up1(29(29)！' When he mentions 'the sands o' life' in the third section, he is swearing\s\up1(30(30) that his love will never fade\s\up1(31(31) as long as\s\up1(32(32) he lives. 'Fare thee\s\up1(33(33) weel' in the last section of the poem means 'farewell\s\up1(34(34)'， or 'goodbye'. Yet, though he is saying goodbye to his love, he promises to come\s\up1(35(35) to see her again, even if he has to travel ten thousand miles.

\s\up1(22(22)He wrote in the same way ....way属于定语从句，省略了在从句中作方式状语的that或in which；which引导非限制性定语从句，指代整个主句的内容；其中why引导宾语从句，作explains的宾语。
