Perhaps one reason his books weren’t taken seriously is that even though they often use rhyme, you wouldn’t call him a great poet.
也許他的作品沒有受到重視的一個原因是，雖然它們通常都使用了韻律，但你不會稱他為一個偉大的詩人。
Geisel’s rhyme schemes are very simple. And often, to make things rhyme, he used silly names for his imaginary creatures, like the Grinch and Sneetches.
Geisel的韻律組合非常簡單。通常為了押韻，他會給他虛構的生物取很傻的名字，比如Grinch和Sneetches。
In fact, one book features 34 pairs of rhymed words, but only eight of those pairs consist entirely of real words.
事實上，有一本書中有34對押韻的單詞，但其中只有8對完全由真正的單詞組成。
The rest are made-up words. Geisel also illustrated his own books and created a lot of highly memorable characters from a visual standpoint.
剩余的都是捏造的單詞。Geisel還給他自己的書畫插圖，并且創造出了很多視覺上非常令人難忘的角色。
Yet as far as his artistic talent, no one’s ever called him a great artist or a great illustrator.
然而就他的藝術才能而言，從沒有人稱過他為一個偉大的藝術家或一個偉大的插畫家。
For his human characters, he pretty much drew the same face over and over. Except for minor accessories, all the people in his books look the same.
他基本上給他書中的人類角色重復畫的同樣的臉。除了配角，他書里的所有人看上去都長一個樣。
Not exactly something you’d be encouraged to do in art school. And the way he drew even nonhuman characters was dismissed by many critics as being overly simplistic.
你在藝術學校不太會被鼓勵這么做。甚至他畫非人類角色的方式被很多批評家指責過于簡單化。
His landscapes, on the other hand, they are simple but they are also extremely clever.
但是，他的山水畫，雖然很簡單，但也極其巧思。
He and his uncanny knack for creating the illusion of great distance with some very simple shapes and lines. But what about from a pedagogical standpoint?
他和他用一些非常簡單的形狀和線條創造出很大距離感的錯覺的異乎尋常的手法。但是從教育學的角度來看呢？
Well, let’s consider Geisel’s most famous book: The Cat in the Hat.
我們來看看Geisel最有名的作品The Cat in the Hat吧。
