Many people simply regard Pride and Prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. She perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. The characters have their own personalities. Mrs. Bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. Mr. Bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, Mr. Darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. Even the five daughters in Bennet family are very different. Jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. Elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant. Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century.
The family of gentleman in the countryside is Jane Austen’s favourite topic. But this little topic can reflect big problems. It concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in Britain in her century. You can find these from the very beginning of this book.
The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in poss ession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
I couldn’t forget how eager Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughte rs. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
In “Pride and Prejudice”, the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our
society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
苏格拉底曾说过:“一个人能否有成就,只看他是否具有自尊心和自信心这两个条件。”
千百年来,在人们眼里,命运是神秘莫测,不可把握,无法控制的饿一种神秘力量,是主宰人们一生的至高无上的主任,而人类则永远是命运的仆人和奴隶,半个世纪以前,一位比利时智者莫里斯梅特林克先生告诉我们,人们是完全可以成为命运的主任而非奴隶,这种能够把握,主宰和战胜命运的首要条件就是自信。因此,我认为自信是成功的基石。
一个人要自信,就要克服自卑,树立自信。1951年,英国女医生弗兰克林从自己拍摄X射线衍射中发现了DNA双螺旋结构,经过研究,她大胆地提出了假设,并以此为题做了一次很出色的演讲,然而许多人对她的发现提出质疑,怀疑她的照片的真实性和假说的可靠性,在这些压力下,弗兰克林也开始怀疑自己:作为一个普通医生,提出这样高森的理论问题,或许太不自量力了吧?她动摇了。于是,她公开否认了自己提出的假说,也没有再继续研究下去,后来在1953年,其他科学家却证实了这个假说,不自信的弗兰克林与成功失之交臂了。
人生的航船由每个人自己掌舵,鼓起自信的风帆,千帆竞渡,抵达成功的彼岸。
著名天文学家,自然科学先驱哥白尼,第一个对影响人类达千年之久的托勒玫地心说提出怀疑,否认。遭到无数千万人的反对及压迫,但他自始自终都相信自己的“是地球绕太阳旋转而非太阳绕地球旋转”的理论,也没有轻言放弃,最终,其日心说被应证了,哥白尼也成功了。如果,他在人们提出怀疑的'时候也怀疑自己的能力,他就不会有后来的成功。
自信是人生成功的奠基石,人的成功之路必须踏着自信的石阶步步登高。有了自信,人才能达到自己所期望达到的境界,才能成为自己所希望成为的人,坚持自己所追求的信仰。无论在什么情况下,自信者的格言都是:“我想我能够的,现在不能够,以后一定会能够的!”所以我们每个人务必要把自信送给自己!
去年夏天去露营的时候,我在玩游戏时,没注意前方,一不小心撞到一位叔叔,使他手上的汤溢了出来,我赶紧弯腰向对方赔不是,把头抬起来时,只见对方脸上堆满笑容,丝毫没有任何怒气的对我说:“下次小心一点!”说完就走了,因礼貌的`道歉,化解了当时的尴尬。
在暑假期间,爸爸心血来潮的带我去看电影,回程的路途中,后方的车子为了超车,便和我们的车擦撞,爸爸赶紧下车察看,只见对方车主下车瞪了一眼后,就上车了,爸爸上车便和我说:“人如果没有礼貌只会让人更讨厌,最没有修养的人就是这种人,儿子啊!你长大后绝对不能成为那种不懂礼貌又没有修养的人呀!”
前几天,我自己一个人对着校园的墙壁投球,结果一不小心力道太大,球还没打到墙壁,就弹射出去了,我苦恼着球飞到哪里了?正好撞见同班同学,于是我很有礼貌的请他一同帮忙寻找,他二话不说马上帮忙,果然没多久他就在草丛里找到了球,我十分感谢他的帮忙,不然一个人在如此广阔的校园里找球,也不知道球找不找的到呢!
自古以来,中国就被称为“礼仪之邦”可见我们多么重视礼仪,有礼貌不但提升了我们的气质,也使别人更尊敬我们,因此,我们都应该成为有礼貌的人,才能共创一个温馨又祥和的未来!
This is a story about a special and unreserved woman who has been exposed to a hostile environment but continuously and fearlessly struggling for her ideal life. The story can be interpreted as a symbol of the independent spirit.
It seems to me that many readers’ English reading experience starts with Jane Eyer. I am of no exception. As we refer to the movie “Jane Eyer”, it is not surprising to find some differences because of its being filmized and retold in a new way, but the spirit of the novel remains----to be an independent person, both physically and mentally.
Jane Eyer was a born resister, whose parents went off when she was very young, and her aunt,the only relative she had,treated her as badly as a ragtag. Since Jane’s education in Lowwood Orphanage began, she didn’t get what she had been expecting——simply being regarded as a common person, just the same as any other girl around. The suffers from being humiliated and devastated teach Jane to be persevering and prize dignity over anything else.As a reward of revolting the ruthless oppression, Jane got a chance to be a tutor in Thornfield Garden. There she made the acquaintance of lovely Adele and that garden’s owner, Rochester, a man with warm heart despite a cold face outside. Jane expected to change the life from then on, but fate had decided otherwise: After Jane and Rochester fell in love with each other and got down to get marry, she unfortunately came to know in fact Rochester had got a legal wife, who seemed to be the shadow following Rochester and led to his moodiness all the time ----Rochester was also a despairing person in need of salvation. Jane did want to give him a hand, however, she made up her mind to leave, because she didn’t want to betray her own principles, because she was Jane Eyer. The film has finally got a symbolist end: Jane inherited a large number of legacies and finally returned. After finding Rochester ’s misfortune brought by his original mad wife, Jane chose to stay with him forever.
I don’t know what others feel, but frankly speaking, I would rather regard the section that Jane began her teaching job in Thornfield as the film’s end----especially when I heard Jane’s words “Never in my life have I been awaken so happily. ” For one thing, this ideal and brand-new beginning of life was what Jane had been imagining for long as a suffering person; for another, this should be what the audiences with my views hoped her to get. But the professional judgment of producing films reminded me to wait for a totally different result: There must be something wrong coming with the excellence----perhaps not only should another section be added to enrich the story, but also we may see from the next transition of Jane’s life that “Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you would get.”
What ’s more, this film didn’t end when Jane left Thornfield. For Jane Eyer herself, there should always be somewhere to realize her great ideal of being independent considering her fortitude, but for Rochester, how he can get salvation? The film gives the answer tentatively: Jane eventually got back to Rochester. In fact, when Jane met Rochester for the first time, she scared his horse and made his heel strained, to a certain extent, which meant Rochester would get retrieval because of Jane. We can consider Rochester’s experiences as that of religion meaning. The fire by his frantic wife was the punishment for the cynicism early in his life. After it, Rochester got the mercy of the God and the love of the woman whom he loved. Here we can say: human nature and divinity get united perfectly in order to let such a story accord with the requirements of both two sides. The value of this film may be due to its efforts to explore a new way for the development of humanism under the faith of religion.
所谓礼貌,从家居的礼貌讲起,例如:家人 一早起床,要互道早安,平常要常说:“请、谢谢、对不起、非常抱歉”,如此家庭一定和乐融融。在社会上或公共场合的礼貌,例如:轻声、慢步、沉稳、安静、待人面带微笑,这不但会获得很多的友谊、及尊重。
有礼貌的人随时都会赞赏对方,比方:您表现得很棒!这件衣服很合宜、您家客厅装潢很雅致等日常生活上的应对;有时是?美东西,其实是在?美主人,拥有这些东西的主人,必定会很高兴听到你的?美,无形中获得友谊。有些人,跟你握手时,眼睛看着别人;跟你点头时,一边和别人说话,这种不专注的举止、表情,都会招来反效果,让人讨厌。
真正的`礼貌,是一个人的修养,是要从小培养的,而不是依心情来表现的,虽然我们不能改变自己的五官容貌,但我们可以用礼貌的言语展现自己的气度,有礼貌的人,不管在家庭或踏入社会,会因为有礼貌而带给大家是和谐的气氛的,会是受人欢迎的。
