William Carlos Williams (September 17, 1883 – March 4, 1963) was an American poet closely associated with modernism and imagism. Williams is often counted as being among a group of four major American poets who were all born in a twelve-year period that began in 1874. The group also consists of Robert Frost, who was born in 1874; Wallace Stevens, who was born in 1879; and Hilda "H.D." Doolittle, who was born in 1886. Of these four, Williams died last, several weeks after Frost. (Stevens was first to die, in 1955, while H.D. lived until 1961).
As doctors often do I took a trial shot at it as a point of departure. Has she had a sore throat?
Both parents answered me together, No . . . No, she says her throat don't hurt her. Does your throat hurt you? added the mother to the child. But the little girl's expression didn't change nor did she move her eyes from my face.
百花怒放。 A profusion of leaves bursts out on
trees in the springtime.d a fever for three days, began the father and we don't know what it comes from. My wife has given her things, you know, like people do, but it don't do no good. And there's been a lot of sickness around. So we tho't you'd better look her over and tell us what is the matter.
inwardly
with respect to private feelings (思想、感情) 内在的,内心的
我暗地替他担心。 I was inwardly worried about him.
弟兄们表面上很友好，骨子里却很疏远。 The brothers were outwardly friendly;inwardly
it.
The child was fairly eating me up with her cold, steady eyes, and no expression to her face whatever. She did not move and seemed, inwardly, quiet; an unusually attractive little thing, and as strong as a heifer in appearance. But her face was flushed, she was breathing rapidly, and I realized that she had a high fever. She had magnificent blonde hair, in profusion. One of those picture children often reproduced in advertising leaflets and the photogravure sections of the Sunday papers.
TEXT
They were new patients to me, all I had was the name, Olson. Please come down as soon as you can, my daughter is very sick.
When I arrived I was met by the mother, a big startled looking woman, very clean and apologetic who merely said, Is this the doctor? and let me in. In the back, she added. You must excuse us, doctor, we have her in the kitchen where it is warm. It is very damp here sometimes.

业余从事诗歌创作，也写小说和评论文章。 威廉斯 在文学创作上曾受大学时期的好友埃兹拉· 庞德和 其他意象派作家的影响，同时继承了惠特曼的浪漫主 义传统，并在诗歌形式方面进行了实验，发展了自由 诗体。他反对感伤主义的维多利亚诗风，坚持“美国 本色”，力求用美国本土语言写作，很少使用普通读 者所不熟悉的词汇。1950年获全国图书奖，1952年获 博林根奖金，并被聘为国会图书馆诗歌顾问。他的主 要作品有长篇叙事诗《佩特森》(1963年全部发表）， 它以新泽西州一小城的历史和社会生活为背景，反映 美国的文化和现代人的风貌，是当代美国哲理诗的代 表作品之一。

In addition to his writing, Williams had a long career as a physician practicing both pediatrics and general medicine. He was affiliated with what was then known as Passaic General Hospital in Passaic, New Jersey, where he served as the hospital's chief of pediatrics from 1924 until his death. The hospital, which is now known as St. Mary's General Hospital, pays tribute to Williams with a memorial plaque that states "we walk the wards that Williams walked".[1]
