The aims of run-on line are to “create a certain rhythm ”( Chen Benyi ， 24) and “to add poetic flavor ” ( Chen Zhongyi ， 24 ) ， such as： “I wonder， by my troth ， what thou and I Did ， till we lovd ？ / Were we not weand till then？” (

7、 John Donne ， TheGood-morrow)With regard to Yu Guangzhong， was he influenced by his act of translation in the use of run-on line？ Since Yubeforepublished two collections of translated poems in 1960 and 1968 respectively ， we divide his creation into three periods ： period one ， before his translatio

The total number of run- on lines in Yu s love poems is 80 ， the average number of run-on lines in every poem is 2.8750， and the maximum number reaches 13.And the frequency and t

First it is

13、 tested to see whether the frequency distribution is normal distribution. The Shapiro-Wilk result of period two is 0.053， which ishigher than 0.05 ， so the sample is abnormal distribution.Abnormal distribution should be analyzed with Kruskal Wallis analysis. The progressive significance of Kruskal W

14、allis test is 0.000 ， which is smaller than 0.001， soit can be concluded that the distributions of different periods are significantly different. In other words， when Yu began to translate ， his creation did have a change accordingly.The next question is whether the development of the distribution o

15、f run-on lines has any relation with periods ？ Or whether it is only different but has no relation with periods ？ To answer this question ， Spearman correlation analysis is done and the correlation coefficient is 0.363 ， significant at the level of 0.001. This meanst hat the more Yu translated ， the more frequently he used run-on lines.3 conclusionFrom the ab
