After reaching a certain level in English, one must learn English poetry. English poetry, in addition to sonnets that follow strict metrical requirements similar to Chinese regulated verse, also has very flexible forms such as alliteration, internal rhyme, and initial rhyme, all of which can be applied to prose writing to enhance the musicality and melody of sentences. As Orwell said, one should choose words based on their pronunciation. Deborah's translation of Han Jiang's book employs a lot of alliteration and internal rhyme, which is why she deserves the awards she has received as a translator.
