喜福会台词
晚餐
[ Waverly Narrating ] Of course, the night was still young.
Thank God I already prepped him on the Emily Post of Chinese manners.
How are you?
[ Man Speaking Chinese ]
Actually, there were a few things l forgot to mention.
[ Rich ] Let me make a toast.
He shouldn't have had that second glass
when everyone else had had only half an inch just for taste.
Shrimp. My favorite.
He should have taken only a small spoonful of the best dish until everyone had had a helping.
He has good appetite.
He shouldn't have bragged he was a fast learner.
But the worst was when Rich criticized my mother's cooking,and he didn't even know what he had done.
As is the Chinese cook's custom,
my mother always insults her own cooking,
but only with the dishes she serves with special pride.
This dish not salty enough.
No flavor. It's too bad to eat.
But please.
Oh! Uh.
That was our cue to eat some
and proclaim it the best she'd ever made.
You know, Lindo,
all this needs is a little soy sauce.
[ Gasping ] Oh!
So, how'd your mom react when you told her about the wedding?
It never came up.
How come?
She'd rather get rectal cancer.
Oh.
Lena独白
My whole life turned in this moment.
If I had Ieft him or kiIIed him,
I would not have lost the one thing that mattered.
[ Water Rippling ]
[ Baby Cooing ]
[ Cooing ]
My mind kept repeating a single thought.
He had taken from me my innocence,
my youth, my heart,everything.
[ Water Splashing ]
[ Splashing Continues ]
So I took from him the only thing l could.
[ Screaming ]
[ Sobbing ]
My baby was so light in my arms,
because his little spirit had flown away.
And with his, my spirit had also gone.
Years Iater, I moved to America.
But what I had done in China was always with me.
In time, I remarried and l had a daughter.
But Lena had no spirit,
because l had none to give her.
Rose见父母
This is Rose Hsu, my girlfriend.
[ Rose Narrating ] The one word sent me into totaI shock,
from which, I'm afraid, l've never quite recovered.
-Hello. Hi. -[ Dad ] Hello.
Is this a private reverie or can an old lady join you?
Sure.
You and Ted haven't known each other long, have you?
Actually, no.
I've never heard him speak of you until this morning.
But it's always a thrill for a mother to hear that sort of excitement
in her son's voice.
So I hope you won't misunderstand
what I have to say.
I want you to know, Rose, that we're a very liberal family.
[ Rose Narrating ] l couldn't believe what she was telling me.
lt was straight out of some awtuI racist movie,
like The World of Suzie Wong.
[ Ted's Mother ] Ted is going to be working with his father in the company.
He's going to be judged by people of a different standard.
Publishers, authors, critics and their wives.
They won't be as understanding as we are.
Mrs. Jordan, you sound as if Ted and I are getting married.
That's hardly the case.
Oh, I know, dear, it's just that, well, the way the world is.
How unpopular Vietnam was.
I'm not Vietnamese. I'm American.
Of course you are. It's just...
I understand you. That's all I'm trying to say.
-Do you understand? -[ Ted ] Mom?
Hello, darling.
-We're having a wonderful visit. -"Hello, darling"?
You know, I always knew you were a jerk.
But, shit, this is the first time in my life I am ashamed of you.
How dare you use that language.
I think you better apologize right now.
I'm sorry, Mom, you made a fuckin' asshole out of yourself in front of the woman I love.
Rose独白
[ Rose Narrating ] l wasn't sorry what his mother did.
How eIse wouId I have known, if he hadn't rescued me,
how wonderful he was?
That he loved me.
In six months, we were married.
After the wedding, the fears began to sink in,
take hold.
Everything l had married into.
The pressure, the weight of it.
l promised myself that l could handle it.
That nothing, nothing could ever change me.
Or us.
[ Rose ] Wayne, could you chop this up into smaller slices?
Last time they were way too big. Thanks.
Also, could you dress the deviled eggs with tomatoes...
[ Rose Narrating ] At first, it was just a bunch of little things,
loving things a wife would do behind the scenes without him even knowing.
You know, like paying the househoId biIIs,
buying him special gifts that showed my love.
It's still too salty.
The beautiful part was, he never had to ask for any of this.
In fact, he never even knew.
l told myself that was the selfless way, the loving way,
instead of the chickenshit way.
l was offered a fellowship in fine arts
to this school I admired in Idaho.
Of course, that was out of the question.
The interesting part was, l never asked the question,
not even of myself.
[ Ted ] I really don't understand.
[ Rose Narrating ] He was running two of his family's magazines now. There were four or five business affairs each week.
l was glad to help and knew he appreciated it.
-I just don't understand that at all. -[ Liquid Splashing ]
I don't... I really don't.
-[ Ted ] If you can explain to me... -[ Woman ] Because...
[ Rose Narrating ] And, over time,
I could see that Ted was becoming bored.
We said less and less.
So I tried harder.
l got pregnant for the worst reason imaginable, a last attempt to hang on. Of course, I never thought of it that way at the time.
-[ Baby Crying ] -The good news was, he adored her.
厨房对话
[ June Narrating ] l was so humiliated.
Outsmarted by Waverly and betrayed by my own mother.
I see you didn't touch your crab.
Like I said at dinner, not hungry.
What? Still mad at Waverly?
How could I be mad at someone with all that style?
It's just a shame that I wasn't born that way.
-So it's me you're mad at? -No.
I'm just sorry that you got stuck with such a loser.
That I've always been so disappointing.
What do you mean, disappoint?
-Piano? -Everything. My grades, my job.
Not getting married.
-Everything you expected of me. -Not expect anything!
Never expect!
Only hope.
Only hoping best for you.
-It's not wrong to hope. -No?
Well, it hurts.
Because every time you hoped for something I couldn't deliver, it hurt. [ Crying ] It hurt me, Mommy.
And no matter what you hoped for,
I'll never be more than what I am.
And you never see that!
What I really am.
June, since your baby time,
I wear this next to my heart.
Now you wear next to yours.
It will help you know.
[ Crying Continues ]
I see you.
[ Whispering ] I see you.
That bad crab, only you tried to take it.
Everybody else want best quality.
You, your thinking different.
Waverly took best-quality crab.
You took worst.
Because you have best-quality heart.
You have style no one can teach.
Must be born this way.
I see you.
喜福会英文背景及人物赏析
The Joy Luck Club (1989) is a best-selling novel written by Amy Tan. It focuses on four Chinese American immigrant families in San Francisco, California who start a club known as "the Joy Luck Club," playing the Chinese game of mahjong for money while feasting on a variety of foods. The book is structured somewhat like a mahjong game, with four parts divided into four sections to create sixteen chapters. The three mothers and four daughters (one mother, Suyuan Woo, dies before the novel opens) share stories about their lives in the form of vignettes. Each part is preceded by a parable relating to the game. In 1993, the novel was adapted into a feature film directed by Wayne Wang and starring Ming-Na, Lauren Tom, Tamlyn Tomita, France Nguyen, Rosalind Chao, Kieu Chinh, Tsai Chin, Lisa Lu, and Vivian Wu. The screenplay was written by the author Amy Tan along with Ronald Bass. The novel was also adapted into a play, by Susan Kim, which premiered at Pan Asian Repertory Theatre in New York. Characters Mothers Suyuan Woo During the Second World War, Suyuan lives in China while her husband at the time served as an officer in Chungking (Chongqing). She starts the original Joy Luck Club with her three friends to cope with the war. There is little to eat, but they pretend it is a feast, and talk about their hopes for the future. On the day of the Japanese invasion, Suyuan leaves her house with nothing but a bag of clothes, a bag of food, and her twin baby daughters. During the long journey, Suyuan contracts such severe dysentery that she feels certain she will die. Fearing that a dead mother would doom her babies' chances of rescue, she reluctantly and emotionally leaves her daughters under a barren tree, together with all her belongings, along with a note asking anyone who might find the babies to care for them and contact the father. Suyuan then departs, expecting to die. However, she is rescued by a truck and finds out her husband has died. She later remarries, comes to America, forms a new Joy Luck Club with three other Chinese female immigrants she met at church, and gives birth to another daughter. But her abandonment of the twin girls haunts her for the rest of her life. After many years, Suyuan learns that the twins were adopted, but dies of a brain aneurysm before she can meet them. It is her American-born daughter Jing-mei who fulfills her long-cherished wish of reuniting with her elder twin half-sisters. As Suyuan dies before the novel begins, her history is told by Jing-mei, based on her knowledge of her mother's stories, anecdotes from her father, and what the other members of the Joy Luck Club tell her. An-Mei Hsu An-Mei is raised by her grandparents and other relatives during her early years in Ningbo after her widowed mother shocks the family by becoming a concubine to a middle-aged wealthy man after her first husband's death. This becomes a source of conflict for the young An-Mei, as her aunts and uncles deeply resent her mother for such a dishonorable act. They try to convince An-Mei that it is not fitting for her to live with her disgraced mother, who is now forbidden to enter the family home. An-Mei's mother, however, still wishes to be part of her daughter's life. After An-Mei's grandmother dies, An-mei moves out to live with her mother in the home of her mother's new husband, Wu-Tsing. An-Mei learns that her mother was coerced into being Wu-Tsing's concubine through the manipulations of his Second Wife, the favorite. This woman arranged for An-Mei's mother, still in mourning for her original husband, to be raped by Wu-Tsing. The stigma left An-Mei's mother with

The Joy Luck Club(喜福会影评—东西方文化差异)
The Joy Luck Club In the movie, there are many conflicts between Chinese culture and American culture, such as teaching methods, relationships, traditions and customs. First of all, there is a tremendous difference between Chinese and American teaching methods. In China, parents decide what their children should study, which can benefit for children. For example, in June’s memory of child, she should spend two hours playing the piano and be supervised by her music teacher. In China, it is very efficient to prove child who is absorbing some skills in music, art or study. Chinese children often claim that they are forced by their parents. In other words, Chinese parents have no perception of considering children’s hobbies. But in American, children can choose anyone which they are interested in. And American children are more freedom. They can plan to how to practice it. Second, in the movie, Chinese have more complex relationships between each other. June’s aunts found her sisters who had been dropped by their mother twenty years ago. They tended June to China in order to tell them about her mother. Because aunts thought the daughter is the parents’best friends that can know about her parents. In America, the different person has different feelings and thoughts. Though you are the closest, you cannot know all about each other. Third, traditions are very clearly different in this movie. With our impression, Chinese is modest and kind, which contributes to they are not willing to show off what is they are good at. For example, Lin Duo was very good at cooking, but she always said “I am not good at cooking” or “This cake is not very tasty”. When her son-in-low heard this, he put a lot of salt in dishes directly, which made Lin Duo feel embarrassed. Actually, in Lin Duo’s heart, she was long for her relations’ compliment. In the end of this text, in Chinese customs, the king of the home is husband, which means the man decides everything, including woman’s happiness and life. And one man can have many wives; however, one woman pertains to only one husband, including her body and soul. But in America, husband and wife is independent, husband would like to listen to what his lover is thinking.

喜福会折射的中美文化的冲突与融合开题报告 本科毕业论文开题报告书 中文题目：《喜福会》折射的中美文化的冲突与融合 英文题目：“The Joy Luck Club” Reflects the Sino—US Culture Clash and Fusion 学生姓名：XX 学号：XXXX 班级：外国语学院XX级XX班 指导教师：XX 论文(设计)题目《喜福会》折射的中美文化的冲突与融合 选题目的和意义 美籍华裔女作家谭恩美(Amy Tan)是美籍华裔文坛上的一颗新星。1989年，她发表处女作《喜福会》(The Joy Luck Club),此书一问世便成为热卖世界的畅销书，在美国掀起了一股华裔文学热，为华裔作品进入美国主流文学做出贡献。此书不仅向美国人展示了来自神秘东方的传统的中国文化，而且其用四对母女之间的感情冲突淋漓尽致地演绎出了中美文化的巨大冲突。近年来，国内外的专家学者都对《喜福会》这一华裔文学小说做过深入的研究，但大多数的研究都仅仅侧重于母女关系和单纯的文化冲突的研究。鉴于此，本文作者对《喜福会》中文化的碰撞与交融做出深刻而全面的分析，其中包括家庭教育、人生观、价值观以及东西方人受各自传统文化熏陶等。其次的一点是,本课题并没有单单来揭露东西方文化的碰撞这一方面，在中国
经济实力、综合国力不断强大，全球化的趋势不断加强的情况下，东西方的文化渐渐地融合在一起，本文又将东西方文化融合的一面展现出来，体现了现实意义和强大的社会价值。 本课题在国内外的研究状况和及发展趋势： 从20 世纪起, 特别是自20世纪70年代以来, 一批知识界、文学界的华裔精英人物不仅跻身于美国的“主流文化” 圈, 而且以他们 的才智和作品使生活在美国的华人群体及他们身后的悠久的中国文 化传统逐步凸现出来。因此, 今天, 中美文化之间的关系问题己越来越成为中美文学界、批评界所关注的热点问题之一。小说《喜福会》(The Joy Luck Club ) 便是近些年来美国华裔作家对中美文化之间的关系进行探索的一个范本。美国人类学家、空间关系学的创始人爱德华·霍尔认为，“虽然世界各国的文化具有千差万别，但大多数文化还是具有明显的倾向性的”，因此他把文化大致分为“高背景文化与低背景文化”，朱漱真(2008年)出版的“中美文化的冲突与融合对《喜福会》文化的解读”就是利用霍尔的观点来分析研究的。E.D.Huntley(1998),在“A Critical Comparison”一文中对此片文章做了建设性的比较。 小说从东方∕西方、自我∕他者两个方面构建了一个东西方文化从二元对立到二元消解的文化发展景观。自新中国成立以来，我们可以意识到中国本身也包含了部分美国文化，而美国文化也包含了部分中国文化。同时，我们也可以看到中西文化由冲突碰撞到融合的发展前景。 主要研究内容：
从《喜福会》透视中美文化冲突与融合(1).
从《喜福会》透视中美文化冲突与融合(1) AbstractThe Joy Luck Club is the first novel of Amy Tan，a famous Chinese-American writer. In the novel she mainly describes the relationship between the Joy Luck Club mothers and their daughters and cultural conflicts. The novel is set in the age of globalization and in the multicultural American society; it represents the process of misunderstanding, conflicts, understanding and blending between the mothers and the daughters. Globalization not only brings many chances to china but also brings cultural challenges to China. As the degree of globalization is getting deeper, Chinese culture faces the danger of being integrated and changed by other cultures. Through contextual analysis of the Joy Luck Club and the cultural conflicts and blending embodied in it, this paper demonstrates that in the age of globalization a balance should be kept among different cultures, and a right attitude towards cultural conflicts should be taken, and it suggests that the native culture should not be thrown away when learning from others, and instead, it should be transmitted to others.Key WordsThe Joy Luck Club; conflict; understanding; cultural blending摘要《喜福会》是著名美国籍华裔女作家谭恩美的处女作，作者在小说中主要描述了四对移民母女的关系和她们之间由于文化的差异而引起的冲突，小说以全球化时代和美国多元文化社会为背景，呈现了4对母女由误会，冲突到理解的过程。在全球化环境下中国面临很多发展的机遇，但更多的是文化的挑战。随着全球化的加剧，中国文化面临一种被融化，被改变的危险。本文通过对《喜福会》文本及其所透视出的文化冲突与融合的分析，说明在全球化环境中，应该在不同文化中找到一个平衡点，并以正确的态度来对待文化冲突，同时不要轻易否定母文化，在向全世界学习其他优秀文化的时候，也要向他们传播中国传统文化。关键词《喜福会》；冲突；理解；文化融 合IntroductionIn the novel The Joy Luck Club, Amy Tan explores the relationship between mothers and daughters. There are 4 mother-daughter pairs in the novel, mothers are the first generation immigrants, and the daughters are born in America. The Joy Luck Club mothers come from the Chinese traditional families when the dictatorial Chinese power is destroyed by the Japanese insurgents in the 1940s. They escape from the political upheaval of China, but they don't forget their Chinese traditional culture, while their daughters are born in America, they are the second generation immigrants, and they don't understand their mothers' Chinese culture, and their way of thinking, so there are often misunderstandings between the mothers and the daughters. In order to make their daughters know them and the Chinese culture, the Joy Luck Club mothers have made pain- taking efforts to remove their differences. They seize every opportunity to tell their daughters their past experiences, demonstrate their courage to challenge the feudal society and never stop extending
喜福会 英文简介 读后感
2011—2012—2英语阅读（4）期中作业姓名田小星班级英语1103班学号 1101901307 得分 The Joy Luck Club The author of The Joy Luck Club is Amy Tan, who was born in Oakland, California, in 1952. Besides this book, she hasalso written other famous novels, such as The Kitchen God's Wife, The Hundred Secret Senses, The Bonesetter's Daughter and Saving Fish From Drowning. In response to the widely held opinion that she writes with a social aim—to portray the Chinese American experience. Through her writing, Tan approaches issues that are universally applicable to all groups of people. She explores themes of family and memory, as well as the conflicts of culture that arise in so many American communities. The Joy Luck Club contains sixteen interwoven stories about conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American—raised daughters.The novel consists of four sections,each section contains four separative narratives. In the first section, four mothers, Lindo, Ying ying, and An mei, recollect their relationship with their nature mothers clearly one by one. However, their daughters' recollection of them will never be so clear. In the second section, these daughters, Waverly, Jing mei,Lena, and Rose recollect their childhood relationship with their mothers respectively. They tell their childhood stories so clearly and touchingly that it can powerfully prove what their mothers worry about at least is partially unnecessary and unimportant. In the third section, the four daughters narrate their adult dilemmas—troubles in marriages and with their careers. Although they believe that their mothers' antiquated ideas do not have anything concerned about their own American lifestyles, but their search for solutions inevitably brings them back to their relationships with the older generation. In the final section, the mothers come up with some practical solutions and support their daughters, in the process learning more about themselves.
《刮痧》和《喜福会》中表现出的中西文化特征和中西文化冲突
《刮痧》和《喜福会》中表现出的中西文化特征和中西文化冲突 《喜福会》这部小说讲述了 4 位中国移民母亲和从小在美国成长的女儿们之间由于文化差异和对民族身份的不同认识等原因由冲突到相互接受又到彼此融合的故事。谭恩美采用中国传统的叙述手法,从个人的记忆出发,以特定的历史和文化视角,将自我经历放大,将家庭矛盾、母女冲突提升到文化冲突的层面,在中美文化传统的大背景下使之象征化、寓言化,使得小说更具文化内涵和艺术张力,树立了近年来美国华裔作家对中美文化关系探索的范本。 作者形象地把全书构筑在一张麻将桌上, “四户人家是四个主要部分,每个部分的中心都是从一个家庭转向另一个家庭”。[1]母亲和女儿们像打麻将一样轮流坐庄,依次用第一人称讲述自己的人生故事。[2 ]《喜福会》中的母亲们都经历过旧中国的贫穷战乱以及封建父权制带来的灾难和痛苦。吴精美的母亲吴素媛在战乱中不仅失去了丈夫,还不得不忍痛放弃了襁褓中的一对双胞胎女儿。许安梅跟随被迫改嫁做妾的母亲从宁波搬到天津,寄人篱下受尽羞辱,最后终以母亲的生命为代价脱离了那个明争暗斗的大宅院。龚琳达家处中国的北方,连年灾害迫使她从小就嫁给了一个无用的富家子弟,名为少奶奶,实则童养媳,受尽各种侮辱,最终凭借自己的智慧挣脱了那个“父母之命,媒约之言”的不幸婚姻。顾映映位富家千金由于丈夫寻花问柳身心受到了极大伤害,在对丈夫的憎恶下亲手杀死了腹中胎儿,从此一直生活在绝望与郁愤中直到丈大死去她才走出绝境,嫁给一位美国士兵来到美国开始了新的生活。 这 4 位走出各自命运阴影的母亲们来到异域他乡之后,为了适应新的环境要求,不得不隐藏在原有文化基础上形成的人格,但她们骨子里仍渗透着几千年来的传统教育和封建家长制思想;同样也是受害者的她们有着共同的理想就是要严格教育、管束自己的女儿们,使其能逃脱自己这辈女人的命运,成为她们眼中的幸福女人。然而,对于母亲的管束,女儿们则以各自不同的方式反抗着,在这个种族、阶级、性别不平等的大熔炉里,两代女性上演了一出出由相互争斗到殊途同归、相互认同的悲喜剧。 《喜福会》中的女儿们生于美国、长于美国,真如当初“逃离”旧中国,投奔“自由世界”的母亲们所期望的那样, “讲一口流利漂亮的美式英语”, “勿需仰仗丈夫鼻息度日”。[ 1 ]1但也如母亲们说的“除了头发和皮肤是中国式的外,她们的内部都是美国制造的”。女儿们说美式英语,吃美国食品,穿美国衣服, 比起中国男孩,美国男孩更让她们倾心,她们已经全盘美化了。即使她们“回到中国穿了中国人的服装,不化装,不戴首饰,仅从她走路的样子,就能看出她是外面来的”。[1 ]247在同一个屋檐下,不同观念,不同文化背景的两代人生活在一起,母女的矛盾冲突就充分地暴露出来了。 在传统的中国文化中,父母们都望子成龙,望女成凤,儿女的成功就是自己的成功,自己的骄傲。父母有权为儿女安排生活、婚姻以及未来,而儿女们必须以听从作为对父母孝敬的表现。吴素媛来到美国,把自己的一切都寄托在女儿身上。

本课题在国内外的研究状况和及发展趋势： 从20 世纪起, 特别是自20世纪70年代以来, 一批知识界、文学界的华裔精英人物不但跻身于美国的“主流文化” 圈, 而且以他们的才智和作品使生活在美国的华人群体及他们身后的悠久的中国文化传统逐步凸现出来。所以, 今天, 中美文化之间的关系问题己越来越成为中美文学界、批评界所注重的热点问题之一。小说《喜福会》(The Joy Luck Club ) 便是近些年来美国华裔作家对中美文化之间的关系实行探索的一个范本。美国人类学家、空间关系学的创始人爱德华·霍尔认为，“虽然世界各国的文化具有千差万别，但绝大部分文化还是具有明显的倾向性的”，所以他把文化大致分为“高背景文化与低背景文化”，朱漱真(2008年)出版的“中美文化的冲突与融合对《喜福会》文化的解读”就是利用霍尔的观点来分析研究的。 E.D.Huntley(1998),在“A Critical Comparison”一文中对此片文章做了建设性的比较。 小说从东方∕西方、自我∕他者两个方面构建了一个东西方文化从二元对立到二元消解的文化发展景观。自新中国成立以来，我们能够意识到中国本身也包含了部分美国文化，而美国文化也包含了部分中国文化。同时，我们也能够看到中西文化由冲突碰撞到融合的发展前景。 主要研究内容： 一引言 二文献综述：国外研究现状和国内研究现状 三文化的冲突与融合：定义、产生的背景、特征的对比 四中美文化冲突与融合在《喜福会》中的体现 五结语 完成论文的条件、方法及措施：

浅析《喜福会》中母女关系折射出的中美文化差异 摘要：本文通过对谭恩美《喜福会》中母女关系的分析，分别从语言差异、主客礼仪差异、思维差异和孝道文化差异四个方面来阐述母女间冲突产生的原因。小说中母女间的矛盾、冲突一直存在，直到女儿们到了为人母的年纪，母女间的关系才慢慢走向缓和融洽。所谓文化有国界但爱无国界。理解、真诚和爱是化解文化差异最好的良方。关键词：母女关系文化差异冲突融洽 Analysis of The Joy Luck Club in the mother-daughter relationships reflects the Sino-US cultural differences TANG Xian (School of foreign languages，Kunming University，YunnanKunming650214 ，China ) Abstract: Based on Amy Tan's The Joy Luck Club the essay analyses the causes of the conflict between mother and daughter.
