释义

pentameter

/pɛnˈtamɪtə /
noun Prosody
A line of verse consisting of five metrical feet, or (in Greek and Latin verse) of two halves each of two feet and a long syllable.Trimeter lines predominate, very short dimeter lines punctuate, and against both rise up the comparatively unexpected yet satisfying lengths of the two thoughtful pentameter and hexameter lines....
  • Although the English meter is properly iambic, often with feminine endings, line length is erratic, ranging from trimeter to pentameter, except for the two shortest lines, which appear in dimeter.
  • You can hear it pushing against the constraints of the pentameter and the irregular end rhyme.

Origin

Early 16th century: via Latin from Greek pentametros (see penta-, -meter).
