诗词比赛用英语叫做 "poetry competition"。
它的来源源于古希腊,当时的诗人会在宴会上表演诗歌,受到主人的高度评价。随着时间的推移,诗歌比赛逐渐成为了文学比赛的一种形式,并在中世纪和文艺复兴时期得到了普及。
以下是一些英文例句:
"I'm thinking of entering a poetry competition next month." (我打算下个月参加一场诗歌比赛。)
"The theme of this year's poetry competition is 'Nature'." (今年诗歌比赛的主题是 "自然")
"He won first place in the poetry competition for his powerful and evocative poem about love." (他因为关于爱的强有力和唤起共鸣的诗歌赢得了诗歌比赛的第一名。)
