Image意象意象（Image）指的是通過(guò)具體的事物、場(chǎng)景或畫面，來(lái)寄托作者的情感、思想或抽象含義的藝術(shù)形象。

---它的核心特點(diǎn)是：-以“具象”承載“抽象”比如用“落葉”象征離別或時(shí)光流逝，用“明月”寄托思念。讓抽象的情感（如孤獨(dú)、喜悅）通過(guò)可感的畫面變得具體可觸。簡(jiǎn)單來(lái)說(shuō)，意象就像“情感的載體”，通過(guò)具體的事物讓讀者感受到背后隱藏的深層含義。Let’scontinuetoanswerthe3questions:1.Whatisthekeymessageofthepoem?
