Because the subject matter was so personal, the work of several prominent mid-twentieth century poets has been termed "confessional" poetry.

　　由于題材過于個人化，二十世紀中葉幾位著名詩人的作品被稱為“自白”詩。

　　To treat their poems mainly as documents of personal experience is not just to diminish the poets' achievement, but to ignore their unanimous disdain for the idea of confessional poetry.

　　把他們的詩歌主要看成是個人經歷的文獻，不僅貶低了他們的成就，而且忽視了他們對自白詩的一致鄙視。
