英美电影文化欣赏《阿甘正传》观后感

摘要:人生本神秘,当万物复出的那一刹那,就已注定人生要饱受喜怒哀乐之感、万物轮回之受,物竞天择、适者生存都是必然的,在人生的道路上要注重选择与放弃,必然的时候要克服面前的困难。

我们也会问自己人生是什么呢? 其实到处都是人生。管你是活的酸,活的甜,活的苦,活的辣,还是活的咸,反正你活着就是在书写人生。而不同的人,不同的环境,不同的境遇又使这个问题的答案丰富多彩。因此每个人对于人生的定义和对人生的态度都是不同的。

人生可以是逆流而上的孤舟,你停下就会倒退,前进那就要付出很大的辛劳;人生也可以是一颗没有熟透的果子,酸中带着甜,甜里面又透着那个酸,还有那么些的涩涩的味道。

Introduction

The film "Agam story" is about a low IQ of only 75 children Agam, a legendary life. The film begins with a piece of feather floating in the air, also ended in the pure feather. After the movie we couldn't help to recognize, in fact, the protagonist Agam is like this piece of feathers in the air, floating in the wind, through all the difficulties, and finally quiet down lying on the ground. Although Agam is a moron, but he is honest, kind and true brave, but work steadily on the belongs to own the miracle of life. From the IQ of only 75 points and had to enter the special school, the football master, to the Vietnam war hero, to the shrimp boat captain, to run the America, Agam with his birth defects, reach many people may intelligence throughout his life also elusive height.

"Life is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are gonna get." This sentence from A." This sentence from Agam if the mother is in the film, give a person leave the deepest impact a. Every person's life trajectory is really exist in this world, and it is the one and only, out of the ordinary. Agam is so special, although the creator gave him no better than other conditions at the time of his birth, but his own out of their own road, write your own life. In the film, Agam did not deliberately to pursue a goal, but in the end, the success but imperceptibly came to his side, it is just a coincidence? But a person's life is not always such a coincidence, the goddess of fortune will not always blessing us, the same is true for Agam. Agam's success is due to his own efforts, from the unique quality in Agam's inherent, heart persistent belief. "Stupid is as stupid, because of their own, but never think you are silly." Mother said to Agam, he firmly remember this sentence, trying to do everything. When pursued is being bullied, Jeanne shouted "run, run" to him, he began to run forward, finally broke free, free to go up, so he fell in love with running, also let him smoothly to the University, and became a football player. For Agam, life is just like a no special reason and the end of the run, just ran without stopping. As Agam said, "to go to forget the past, I think this is the intention of running."

2. The story comprehension

In addition, we are also not difficult to find, Agam influenced the people around him in the imperceptibly. On the battlefield, he saved Lieutenant Dan, but Dan began not thank, but hate the sweet. In Dan's view of life, people's life can arrange good, we can not change him, can only go down this road, so as a soldier, he should die honorably in battle, and Agam's behavior has destroyed all of this, change the original trajectory, lost both legs he was a flawless become conceited. However, Agam's every word and action slowly changed him, make him rediscover a long lost confidence, he and Agam together shrimp, and finally got married, did not become glorious dead soldiers, and the meaning of his life is happy. However, when Agam stood in Jeanne grave, said such a sentence "I do not know is the mother's right, or Lieutenant Dan said to, I do not know whether decreed by fate, or wandering without constant, I guess, both, maybe both."

How how fate, perhaps no one can give a definite answer, all we can do is try to control their own road, no matter he is full of thorns or flat open, to the road of their own, let us come back to this out of their own road can be proud of say: "see, this is the way I go out, so beautiful".

.2.1 The film to let people have the most real sentiment

In fact, "Agam story" another point the viewer is Agam experienced many historical events, inadvertently Elvis Presley black enrollment, University of Alabama, President John Kennedy's assassination, ping pong diplomacy, Aids, he is becoming the Watergate whistleblowers. This

seems very dramatic, but this arrangement is not random in one fell swoop. He responded to some problems existed in the society from this unique perspective, racial discrimination, the forces of the dark, terrorists, diseases and so on, let the audience feel Agam wonderful life at the same time, see the cruel reality. This ingenious realizable gimmick that we had to admire the film art.

No matter what part of the movie, the angle, have had a profound impact to the people left the image of Agam, tells the story of a God and it can really reflect the reality of life, let people lead a person to endless aftertastes.

The life of people say short is short, long. There are not always happy, satisfied with you, will inevitably be some twists and turns, ups and downs occur which can not be avoided, so use the ordinary heart calm ground to them and accept them, because they are part of life. As Agam's mother told the son's words before he died, "death is just a part of life". Live, work conscientiously, to love and be loved, to live.

2.2《The Agam storythe》America culture

On the traditional culture and morality calls as in the past love:"Agam story" by Agam such a figure, showing the American social pursuit of the traditional culture and virtue. In the film, Jenny is a smart and dream of the young girl. However in the swim in society, he fell into confusion. He refused to Agam courtship and follow other people around, his drug use, he is as naked as when one was born to embrace the pipa playing, and the audience just to appreciate her body but not her music, from time to time to tease her. Jenny ultimately failed to achieve their ideal, not when the star, so desperately want to jump off building to end their life. Agam, he stuck to his position, he loves Jenny loves her, as in the past, and in the end, when Agam's father, to be a good father

Trustworthy: cross flow in this material, credit was neglected in the society, Agam still stick to one's promise. Although the "black comrades" meet in the Vietnam War sacrifice, but he still didn't forget yourself and he stood under the agreement. The end of the war after returning home, he runs the fishing business, because there is no experience, he repeatedly caught are the old shoes socks rotten copper iron or something, but he still insist on down. Perhaps touched by God, in a storm, the other ships suffered a loss, but Agam has landed a boat full of fish, a time to earn a lot of money. However, he did not eat it all by himself, but according to his black comrades agreed with him will be the proportion of money to his family, even if the comrades not fishing, even if not to nobody knows.

Frugality: Agam eventually became a successful businessman, although has the huge property, but he still kept the thrifty life style. He drove the mower lawn, he wears is still plain clothes, a Puritan life.

2.3Traditional family values and the equality of men and women for men looking after.

The traditional sense of the American family refers to the nuclear family consists of father, mother and infant children. In the family often father at work, my mother is a housewife. According to statistics, the family American 70% 50's is composed of work outside of the father and homemaker mother and two minor children, but to the 90's, this proportion dropped to 8%. In the film, Agam and Jenny are single parent families, Agam fortunately, in the mother's love to grow up healthy and happy. Jenny was his father's sexual abuse, this on his young mind cause extreme damage, and part of it was also Jenny wandering life reason. Agam in the film the last

Jenny and the composition of family, the small Agam's father, this is reflected on the traditional family call America society. At the end of the film the picture is Agam and Agam together fishing, play together, play, not play Jenny and Agam together picture of life. This means that little Agam in Agam such a responsible and caring father care grow sturdily. This reflects the masculine look up to a certain extent.

3.Optimistic upward America dream interpretation

The core idea America dream is "how much effort you can get much return". In the film, although Agam is an IQ lower than ordinary people's "little fool", but he is not upset. Agam remember mother's education, because mom told him, "stupid is as stupid" (Mama says stupid is as stupid does.) during his service in the Vietnam War, in training camp as sub shell velocity by the leadership of praise. It is because of his positive spirit that he made himself a successful life. Change the film Captain Dan image the thought expressed more profound. Captain Dan lost his legs in the Vietnam War, saved by Agam has been resentment toward Agam, in his view of a soldier should be killed in battle, and become a basket case is better to die. Therefore, he decadence, with dishevelled hair and a dirty face to lead a gay one's fling, be shabby in dress. When Agam met Captain Dan time give comfort and encouragement. On Christmas Eve, holding wine lonely Captain Dan, the Captain Dan from the decadent abyss walked out, new life. In the last decades of political and cultural great confusion in twentieth Century, America has become a lost many national firm faith, it is re defined America, tries to complement their self image and typical. In this process, the traditional value USA back support for hundreds of years to America's prosperity and the rise of undeniable but lost the concept of the era and reshape their status in the eyes of the public, America historic role and practical significance. The role and significance of this is Agam gump.

6. Dianyingpin

Many of us like Agam can't find the reason for doing something, a lot of the time we are far less than Agam, who do not know why they are always very easily give up halfway. Man's life is often so, like titles and credits in the wind almost floating white feathers, most of the time, we may have in the swim, this floating no specific direction, the plain tiresome. However, a slight turn around, can be control by myself, and you just try to do it well, no matter how much you get, well, you can fly higher and higher, you'll find out, the more to the high place, the more close to heaven, so I believe that the success of Agam and not by chance.

This sentence of Agam's mother, the film begins with this phrase gives me a deep thought: every life in different regions exists, and it is the one and only exist.

Agam's life Is it right? Is according to such words, such teachings and step-by-step walk of life not the same? Agam, only 75 minutes from the intelligence and had to go to special schools, the football master, to the Vietnam war hero, to the shrimp boat captain, to run the America...... Agam with his birth defects, reach many people may intelligence throughout his life also elusive height. This Is it right? Is a joke of God to us, or life is so unpredictable and capricious random, always let you make unexpected, cannot consider.

Agam was shaped in the film became the embodiment of virtue, honest, trustworthy, serious, courageous and emotional importance. In the film, Agam is a very pure image, for all the films, all along is represented by a warmth and good attitude, even joined poesy composition, this makes the film seem soft and have no injury. At the beginning and end of the film, there is a deep lens: in the vast blue sky, a light and white feather fly, slowly landed in sitting in the road nine bus

benches, and at the foot of Agam, who is back and forth. I think, this is a hint in the film, suggesting that the character of the Agam plain pure and beautiful

Agam's life, his mother half of the building, while the other half was created by Agam. He is not a rise above the common herd. But God is -- the starting point will often not high fair so innate superiority than 100 people earlier and more profound understanding of the real life.

Agam's mother Agam is a spiritual wealth, this philosophy to his moment has turned into something of his own mother. As he sat on the bench on the side of the road and the road did not know about his legacy, his theory in front of each with three words: my mother said.

Mama said, life was like a box of chocolate, you never know what you're gonna get.

Mom said, you must understand, you and the people around you, you and they do not have what different, No.

Mom said, I just told myself, when I do something, I will try my best to do it, as I do in this life you mom, this is a matter I can not choose, God gave me you, my child, I must try to make your mother, I do.

Agam mother 's teaching to him is non - ordinary touch, perhaps Agam's life from his mother taught him the first word of it began. Perhaps, it is the impact of osmosis, is profoundly nurtured. With the guidance of his mother, then Agam made his efforts.

Agam is a very obedient child, these words he remembered, he said, stupid is as stupid does. When Jeanne told him to run, he stumbled up to run, run scattered memories of his first pair of magic shoes, but also unearthed the first potential: run. He has been running, started to escape, then he ran to the football team, and then later ran into the University, got a degree. On the battlefield in the Vietnam War, he is still remembering the words of Jeanne, back to their own lives, but also back to honor and friendship.

Aka Chusei, so in the Vietnam War, he alone out of danger, he still went back to the jungle to find his comrades. He is faithful, he promised Comrade Bubba to buy a shrimp boat together, but Bubba was dead, he was unbelievable in the eyes of others to achieve the wishes for him, but also for their enormous wealth to win. His dedication, he will Jeanne leave after a run of three years, through the entire American, has been non-stop, he told you, he just wanted to run, running his life measure, which does not need to peace and freedom, or any highfalutin things on the ground. He

is friendly, he saved the life of lieutenant, Lieutenant lost his legs he could not have died on the battlefield but still crippled body drag out an ignoble existence and ashamed, and angry, because the lieutenant is such a man: he as honor above all else, he can't stand the ordinary, is Agam friendly reclaim his the life of faith, he found, even without legs, life can still be full of vitality.

Unit 2 Robots 【导读】《海底两万里》是法国科幻小说家儒勒·凡尔纳的代表作之一,是一部出色的悬念小说,叙述了法国生物学者阿龙纳斯教授在海洋深处旅行的故事。阅读下面选取的有关冒险活动的节选,认真体会他们面对海上危险的态度。 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea (excerpt) Part One Chapter Five For some while the voyage of the Abraham Lincoln was marked by no incident.But one circumstance arose that displayed Ned Land's marvelous skills and showed just how much confidence we could place in him. Off the Falkland Islands on June 30,the frigate came in contact with a fleet of American whalers,and we learned that they hadn't seen the narwhale.But one of them,the captain of the Monroe,knew that Ned Land had shipped aboard the Abraham Lincoln and asked his help in hunting a baleen whale that was in sight.Anxious to see Ned Land at work,Commander Farragut authorized him to make his way aboard the Monroe.And the Canadian had such good luck that with a right-and-left shot,he harpooned not one whale but two,striking the first straight to the heart and catching the other after a few minutes' chase! Assuredly,if the monster ever had to deal with Ned Land's harpoon,I wouldn't bet on the monster. The frigate sailed along the east coast of South America with prodigious speed.By July 3 we were at the entrance to the Strait of Magellan.But Commander Farragut was unwilling to attempt this tortuous passageway and maneuvered instead to double Cape Horn. The crew sided with him unanimously.Indeed,were we likely to encounter the narwhale in such a cramped strait?Many of our sailors swore that the monster couldn't negotiate this passageway simply because “he's too big for it!” Our course was set for the northwest,and the next day our frigate's propeller finally churned the waters of the Pacific. “Open your eyes!Open your eyes!” repea ted the sailors of the Abraham Lincoln. And they opened amazingly wide.Eyes and spyglasses (a bit dazzled,it is true,by the vista of $2,000.00) didn't remain at rest for an instant.Day and night we observed the surface of the ocean,and those with nyctalopic eyes,whose ability to

英美文化差异

英美文化差异 英国人和美国人虽然说着相同的语言,却有着许多完全不同的处事态度与生活习惯。在很多生活细节上,你一眼就能区分出高冷的英国人和不拘小节的美国人。 一、语言 语言与文化的关系相当密切。著名美国翻译理论家奈达在描述语言与文 化的关系时说:“语言永远是文化的一个组成部分,任何文章所表达的意思都 直接或间接地与所属文化相关联。归根结底,离开了相关文化,词汇就失去 了意义。文化的不同自然而然意味着语言的不同……”由此可见,文化差异包 括语言差异。 英国英语和美国英语并不是两种独立的语言。众所周知,美国是由英国 在北美的殖民地摆脱英国殖民统治而独立的国家,英语也是被移民美国的英 国人带去的。在过去的几百年时间里,英国英语和美国英语都发生了很大变化,他们的发展各不相同,但是两者之间的差异并不大。这些差异体现在发音、拼写、词汇等方面。 正如每个地方有自己的方言一样,英美两国由于地理位置相距甚远,发 音规律各不相同。这也正是为什么人们把英语发音归为英音和美音两类。在 拼写上,美国英语较之英国英语更简洁,更接近发音,如color(美)/colour(英),realize(美)/realise(英),theater(美)/theatre(英),prolog(美)/prologue(英)。英美语 言在词汇方面的差异体现在英国人和美国人在表达同样的意思时选词倾向不同,如flat(英) /apartment(美),lift(英)/elevator(美),rubber(英)/eraser(美),postbox(英)/mailbox(美),film(英)/movie(美)。 二、人口 英美两国同为移民国家,但人口组成各不相同。 英国是由历史上不同时期从欧洲入侵英国的不同人种组成,包括伊比利 亚人(Iberians)、凯尔特人(Celts)、古罗马人(Romans)、盎格鲁——撒克逊人(Anglo—Saxons)、北欧人(Danes)、诺曼人(Normans)。其中入侵英国的日尔曼

从《天生一对》看英美文化差异

[摘要] 外语电影是了解外语国家文化的重要途径和有效资源。《天生一对》以温情浪漫的喜剧方式,使观众得以鲜明直观地对比两个最重要的英语国家——美国和英国之间的文化差异。本文试图通过分析对比影片中两国语言上的差异、国民性格的差异以及人文环境的差异,来揭示背后的国家文化差异,以期使读者及观众对美语和英语有正确的认识。对两国的文化有基本的了解,从而能有效帮助解决英语学习过程中的文化障碍。 [关键词] 英国文化;美国文化;差异 一、故事梗概 该片于1998年7月上映,中译名《天生一对》,以现代手法重拍了20世纪60年代经典同名作品,故事内容改编自德国小说Das Doppelte Lottchen。故事的主人公是一对双胞胎姐妹花荷莉和安妮。她们的父母尼克和伊丽莎白在一次航海旅行中在“伊丽莎白二世”号上相遇并在旅途中结为夫妇,可后来婚姻破裂。尼克独自在自己的纳帕山谷葡萄园里抚养荷莉,而安妮则与当婚纱设计师的妈妈伊丽莎白一起生活在伦敦;直到她们在夏令营相遇以前,两人彼此都不知道自己还有一个孪生姐妹。不过11年之后,命运却巧妙地让她们在缅因州一个夏令营的活动中相遇。尽管她们的外貌惊人的相似,但是两人性格、气质、行为习惯等却大相径庭,从而引得两人冲突不断。很快她们发现原来是一对双胞胎姐妹,为了更多地了懈她们的父母,她们两人决定交换身份,来到她们各自从未谋面的父亲或母亲身边。她们本打算一直这样装下去,直到尼克宣布他要再婚,两姐妹决定帮助她们的父母破镜重圆。虽然尼克那富有魅力但却让人讨厌的未婚妻给她们的计划带来很大麻烦,但姐妹俩合力设计痛整并气走了她。最终在两个女儿的安排下,二人重拾旧爱,一家人开始了新的幸福生活。影片充满情趣,两个小姐妹交换身份闹出不少笑话,搞笑情节层出不穷,而片中也穿插着温情情绪,让观众在观看电影的时候感到温暖而又愉悦。 二、影片中的美英文化差异 由于本片两个小主人公分别生长于美国和英国,两个社会文化明显差异的家庭背景,因而片中从多个视角呈现了两种文化的差异,为片中的喜剧元素增色不少。 (一)两国文化在语言上的差异 语言既是文化的一部分,又是文化的一面镜子。一个民族的语言折射出这个民族纷繁多彩的文化形态。英语通过其漫长的发展与完善,最终形成了英式英语和美式英语两种主流形式。两者在语音和表达习惯等方面存在明显差异,这势必会给非英语为母语的学习者带来难,给中外交流造成障碍。而这些差异在影片台词中可见一斑。 1.语音差异 首先,英式英语讲究抑扬顿挫,语调变化大,且发音短促,重读音较多,给人以严肃刻板之感;而美式英语讲究发音圆润饱满,连音略音较多,则更显自然随意。以夏令营场景之一为例:当荷莉堵在安妮的宿舍门口以阻止训导员发现她对安妮等的整蛊行为时说,“I、can't let,-.,yougo,.-,in there.She一's、highly contagious.”句中只两处重读,语调平稳没有起伏,倒是有三处连读和cani(t)词尾省音。而随后安妮为了揭发荷莉说道,“、Actually,We Kre、^all、quite、fine in、here unless、荷莉Parker knows、something We、don't、know.”很明显,她的伦敦口音在一句话中多处重读,而只有一处连读且无省音,整句呈现出很强的节奏感。其次,美英两种英语在很多单词的发音习惯上有很大差异。在英国英语中,字母?r只在元音之前才发音,其余位置不发音。但在美国英语中,不管“r”在词中任何位置都要发音,听起来读音大不相同,这也就是美语中有名的卷舌音(r化音)。片中的一个重要道具——扑克牌“poker”。伦敦管家马丁拿出牌时的读音为,’pouko。而当荷莉在询问同伴是否会玩时的读音为,’p;ukzr/。片中此类 词语不胜枚举。另外,还有一些个别情况,如荷莉在问伙伴会否打牌时说“Either of you,by

Key words: Hamlet ; analysis of the work; comments on the figures 1. The background and influence of Hamlet In the early 17th century, Shakespeare wrote a number of his best known tragedies. Many critics believe that Shakespeare's greatest tragedies represent the peak of his art. The titular hero of one of Shakespeare's most famous tragedies, Hamlet, has probably been discussed more than any other Shakespearean character, especially for his famous soliloquy which begins "To be or not to be; that is the question". Hamlet was based on the legend of Amleth, preserved by 13th-century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum as subsequently retold by 16th-century scholar Fran?ois de Belleforest. The play vividly portrays both true and feigned madness –from overwhelming grief to seething rage – and explores themes of treachery, revenge, incest, and moral corruption. 2. The Main Ideas of Hamlet The story is set on the eve of Elsinore. Denmark court in the Middle Ages. Hamlet, the prince of the Denmark, is the leading role.

When I was a little girl,I visited Wellesley and surprised my friends by the announcement,“Some day I shall go to college —but I shall go to Harvard!”When asked why I would not go to Wellesley,I replied that there were only girls there.The thought of going to college took root in my heart and became an earnest desire,which impelled me to enter into competition for a degree with seeing and hearing girls,in the face of the strong opposition of many true and wise friends.When I left New York the idea had become a fixed purpose;and it was decided that I should go to Cambridge.This was the nearest approach I could get to Harvard and to the fulfillment of my childish declaration. At the Cambridge School the plan was to have Miss Sullivan attend the classes with me and interpret to me the instruction given. Of course my instructors had no experience in teaching any but normal pupils, and my only means of conversing with them was reading their lips.My studies for the first year were English history, English literature,German,Latin,arithmetic,Latin composition and occasional themes. 我的生活(节选) 1896年10月,我进入剑桥女子学院学习,这也是为迈入拉德克利夫学院做准备。 当我还是个小姑娘的时候,曾去韦尔斯利参观。当时,我的宣言令我的朋友们为之一惊:“将来我也会上大学——但是要上就上哈佛大学!”于是他们问我为什么不选择韦尔斯利学院,而我却回答说那所学院里只有女生。上大学的念头在我心里扎下了根,进而变为一种坚定不移的愿望。可以说,这种愿望激励着我迈入学位争夺战的行列,而我的对手是一些耳目俱全的女孩子。当然,我也要面对身边那些现实而明智的朋友们的强烈反对。在我离开纽约

英美文化差异论文

南昌工程学院 英美影视文化 《刮痧》的观后感 电影《刮痧》主要讲发生在美国的华裔,因为中外对抚养孩子的差异。其中最突出的是在不同文化背景下,对教育孩子的不同见解。文化的差异不但存在与中外,可以说是每个国家都有其独特的文化。不同的政体也会对文化起到一定的影响,还有一方面是接受不同文化教育。 回望电影的故事情节简介:5岁的华裔孩子丹尼斯闹肚子发烧,在家的爷爷因为看不懂药品上的英文说明,便用中国民间流传的刮痧疗法给丹尼斯治病,而这就成了丹尼斯一次意外事故后父亲许大同虐待孩子的证据。庭上,以解剖学为基础的西医理论无法解释通过口耳相传的经验中医学,许大同最后终于失去冷静和理智,法官当庭宣布剥夺许大同的监护权,不准他与儿子见面。父亲因此事决定回国,为了让老人临行再见一面孙子,许大同从儿童监护所偷出儿子丹尼斯到机场送别,因此受到警方通缉,父子分离,夫妻分居,朋友决裂,工作丢失,接连不断的灾难恶梦。 看似简单的问题为什么会变得如此复杂,可能不同的人站在立场上想吧!我先对我们中国教育方法说一下,中国有就老话:“严父出孝子,慈母多败儿”的道理,这是我国古时流传下来的真谛,可以这么说,严是爱溺是害,往往严格的家庭子女都有出息且孝敬父母的多,而溺爱的子女多没出息而且容易在社会上惹事端,大多也不会孝敬父

母。 “棍棒底下出孝子”这只是一个比方,寓意为父母要严格管教孩子,教他正确的做人观,让他懂得分辨是非好坏。我认为慈母严父是对这句话最好的解释,而并非真的要用棍棒来教子,毕竟暴力是解决不了任何问题的。而所谓的“不打不成器”是指在某些无能为力的情况下采取的一种极端措施,毕竟有些时候只有让人受到巨大的困难后才会吸取教训,并不是说毫无观念的打孩子。 虽然现在一些教育家说不提倡棍棒教育,但我个人认为,所谓的棍棒教育并不是说像一天三餐饭一样,老是打孩子,应以说服教育为主,多和孩子讲道理,以理服人。不过在孩子犯了重大错误的时候,应该给于一定的惩戒,让孩子记住,同样的错误不可再犯因为小孩的记性好。但对于所犯的错误却是忘性大,但事后也要和他讲道理,让他知道错在哪里了。 越不孝顺的子女父母越是从小就宠爱有加,孝顺的孩子从孩提时代父母就对其较为严厉。为什么会这样呢?从现在心理学角度来看,父母宠爱孩子,会让孩子误以为自己就是家中的老大,父母不仅要对他们言听计从,还要柔顺地巴结、恭维和讨好他们。这样久而久之从襁褓到成人,历经十几个风霜雪雨,这种习惯、思维和观念就会逐渐在子女的心中定型。长大乃至成家立业后他们会照样对父母颐指气使,不仅从未树立起孝敬回馈父母之心,而且掠夺搜刮父母之心更盛。 为何如此,皆因随着年龄日增,欲望的胃口也会越来越大,自己

The school was a large old building with a dusty playground,surrounded by a high brick wall.It looked strangely deserted.I was very surprised to find that none of the boys were there,and was told that they were all on holiday,and that I had been sent there during the holidays as a punishment for my wickedness①.The headmaster and teachers were on holiday too,all except for Mr.Mell,who had to look after me. I spent a whole month in that miserable② place,doing my lessons in the dirty,empty classroom,which smelt of old food and unwashed boys.Every evening I had to eat my supper with Mr.Mell,and then go straight to bed.The worst thing was the sign I had to wear round my neck.It said:BE CAREFUL!HE BITES.I was only allowed to take it off when I went to bed. Although I was extremely lonely and unhappy at this time,I was not looking forward to meeting all the other boys.I felt sure they would laugh at me and especially at the sign I was forced to wear.But one day Mr.Mell told me that the headmaster,Mr.Creakle,had returned,and wanted to see me.So I went,trembling③,to his part of the house. I realized at once that Mr.Creakle lived much more comfortably than the boys or the teachers.He was a small,fat man with a purple nose,who was sitting in an armchair with a bottle of wine and a glass in front of him. “So,this is the boy who bites,is it?”he asked unpleasantly.“I know your stepfather,boy.He's a man of strong character,he is.He knows me,and I know him.Do you know me?Answer me,boy!”He pulled violently④ at my ear. “Not yet,sir,”I answered,tears of pain in my eyes. “Ah,but you soon will!Oh yes,I have a strong character too,you'll see!”He banged⑤ his hand hard on the table. I was very frightened,but I made myself ask the question I had been considering for a whole month.“Please,sir,I'm very sorry for what I did to Mr.Murdstone.Could
