牛仔诗
地方性遗产

您知道许多牛仔以拥有创作及吟诵诗词的能力而自豪吗?他们在朗读及创作「牛仔诗」。什么是牛仔诗?就如同这个名字的字面意义,它是由牛仔为牛仔所写,有关于牛仔的诗,诗的内容主要在陈述旧时及现在的牛仔生活。

牛仔诗的坚强故事内容,吸引了各式各样的听众,如:其他的牛仔及女牛仔、牧场主人、城市居民及农夫这个吸引力致使崔曼顿牛仔诗集会(Trementon Cowboy Poetry Roundup)的参加人数渐渐增加。在犹他州北部的熊河谷(Bear River Valley)所举办的牛仔诗集会,其特色是当地牛仔们,朗读他们自己完成的诗作及其他牛仔的诗作。每年都有400600人出席此一盛会。你也许必须身为牛仔(或女牛仔)才能够写牛仔诗,但是任何人都能从中得到乐趣!


Did you know that many cowboys pride themselves on their ability to write and recite poetry? They are reading and writing "cowboy poetry." What is that? Just as the name suggests, it's poetry written by, for, and about cowboys. It describes what life was like for a cowboy in the old days, as well as what life is like today.

The strong story content of cowboy poetry appeals to a mixed audience -- other cowboys and cowgirls, ranchers, city dwellers and farmers. This appeal has led to the growing popularity of the Trementon Cowboy Poetry Roundup. Held in the Bear River Valley of northern Utah, the roundup features local cowboys reading their own poems as well as those of others. Each year 400 to 600 people attend the event. You may have to be a cowboy (or cowgirl) to write cowboy poetry, but anyone can enjoy it!
