A brave 9-year-old is recovering in hospital after he wrestled a 9-foot, 400lb alligator off him with his bare hands - and he now plans to make a necklace from a tooth doctors found embedded in a wound on his back.
美国佛罗里达州一名9岁的小男孩,在湖中游泳时,遭到一条长9英尺(约2.7米长、重400磅(约180多公斤的`短吻鳄袭击,赤手与其搏斗之后,小男孩身上多处受伤,目前正在医院治疗中。医生从他背部的伤口里取出一颗短吻鳄的牙齿,小男孩表示想把它做成项链。
James Barney Jr, spoke calmly and eloquently about his ordeal from hospital, where he was tucked up in bed with a teddy bear by his side. He was covered in some 30 teeth marks, doctors said.
小男孩名叫小詹姆斯·巴尼,他在医院里平静、生动地讲述了自己与短吻鳄搏斗的经历,在他床边还放有一只泰迪熊。医生说,小詹姆斯全身有30多处牙印。
The little boy described how it was a hot day so he had parked his bike and jumped into Lake Tohopekaliga - a lake that people are forbidden to swim in - when he felt something brush against his leg.
小詹姆斯说那天特别热,于是他就把自行车停在一旁自己跳进了托霍普卡莱加湖,这个湖是禁止人们在里面游泳的,刚一进去他就感觉有东西擦到他的腿了。
'It really amazed me what happened. At first, I thought someone was just playing with me, and I didn't know what happened,' he told ABC.
“后来发生的事情真的让我大吃一惊。但开始的时候,我以为是有人在跟我闹着玩,我并不知道发生了什么事情。”他告诉(ABC的记者。
'I reached down to grab it, and I felt its jaw, I felt its teeth, and I didn't know what to do, so I immediately reacted and hit it a couple times. And I had enough strength to pry its jaw open.' The child pulled the powerful jaws open long enough to slide out and swim to shore.
这本书的主人公叫维克多,他是一个早产儿,说话晚,吐字也不清楚。六岁时,爸爸带着维克多来到保健所的儿童咨询中心,想测一测维克多的智力,结果出来了,维克多被诊断为认识能力低下,可能还有语言障碍。这个结果,让爸爸有一点失望。
上学的\'时候,维克多的生活也还是不好过。他老是被同学叫做“傻瓜”、“讨厌鬼”。在新春科技节上,它指出了汽车发动机的毛病,可是没有一个人相信他,最后结果出来发现就是发动机的问题,组员们又怪他之前没有一直在说;一道难住全班同学的数学题,只有他和“数学小王子”艾登做出来了,由于答案一样,被老师误解为撒谎;智商成绩外泄,智商只有73的他,被学校劝退掇学,中学都没毕业。
23岁时,因为在广告牌上的一道数学题感兴趣,维克多把题目解开,并拜托萝拉帮他输入电脑。没想到,解出题目的人,居然可以获得艾弗利公司的特别录用资格!这样,维克多成为了艾弗利公司的员工。
有一天,罗拉在无意间遇见了人称“记忆王”、智商高达168的杰克。杰克告诉萝拉,自己已经不是旧金山智商最高的人了。当杰克告诉她是谁的时候,萝拉一下子就坐到了椅子上——那个人,竟然是维克多。罗杰斯!他们和蕾切尔老师一起回到格林小学去查看智商结果,没想到,维克多的智商结果竟然是173。当年是因为一位老师的错觉才看成了73。维克多竟然是一个天才。知道了自己正确的智商,维克多打起精神,努力工作,终于成为了艾弗利公司的经理和全球只有百分之二的人才能参加的国际门萨协会的新任主席!
在维克多成功道路上少不了父母对他的鼓励,也少不了他的两位恩师——斯图尔特教授、作家蕾切尔老师,还有同学萝拉。斯图尔特教授很早就发现了维克多的才能,并给他讲故事,鼓励他绝不要放弃;蕾切尔老师在学校中和斯图尔特教授一样,一直帮助着维克多。萝拉则是唯一一位不欺负维克多的同学,虽然她小时候也是没好气地对维克多说话,但是她会包容维克多,长大后也给了维克多很多帮助。
每个小孩都是一位天才,只要努力、绝不放弃、相信自我就能成功。就像蕾切尔老师说的一样:“Be yourself(相信自己)!”
When I was a freshman in college I watched the film Gua Sha Treatment for the first time, now I am a junior student and I come back to review the movie from a multicultural aspect, I have many different feelings after watching the film again.
At the beginning of the film, XuDatong is given an award and later he delivers a speech. What makes me impressed most is in his speech he says “one day I will become one of you, a truly successful American, today this award proved that America is a true land of opportunity and I am the living proof of that.” At that moment Xu thinks he has realized his American Dream totally with his lovingly wife and adorable son. However, I think it is ironical that to make a speech like that and I assume it is made on purpose to hind a clue for the story\'s development. How many non—American people have such a beautiful American dream? One of my classmate studies in American now and before he went aboard he told me his American dream is he can stand at the top of the New York. To be honest, I also dream that one day I can get the Green Card living there happily and successfully maybe working at the Wall Street. When Xu gets the award he thinks he entirely melted in the melting pot neglecting the multicultural obstruct, later the plot goes against the way he thinks. And later Quinlan asked Xu\'why you be the scapegoat of your father?\' Xu answers \'because he is Chinese.\' Then maybe Xu knows that there is always a wide gap between Chinese and American cultures.
The second scene is Xu hit his son Denis because Denis hit the son of xu\'s boss, at the middle of the film xu tells his boss that he hit his own son is only to show his respect to his boss John Quinlan, that time Quinlan feels puzzled “what a Chinese logic”,yes, American can never understand such a logic full of Chinese characteristic, because they respect everyone including the children, they won\'t beat a child to please the boss, and there is no such a conception of degree between employee and employer, they feel everyone is equal, which is quite different from china.
Connected to the second scene, the third difference I want to analyze is the care for the children. In America, people pay more attention to the right of children which can be seen from the law—leaving children alone at home is illegal, while in China it is so common that almost everyone may experience such loneliness. And Children Welfare Agency does work in America which shows the importance Americans attach to children\'s right. What\'s more, I remember a line \'No one won the case, especially the child.\' In my opinion, it also manifests the universal concern from the American public to the children.
The fourth aspect is following the procedure, in the film, more than there times, the people focus on the rule, the law, the procedure. At the Christmas Eve Xu wants to return back to his home pretending as a Santa Claus, what a pity, the security recognizes him and persuades \'you are always a good tenement, never causes troubles for me.\' And another scene is at the end of the film , the judge says \'I have to follow the procedure.\' However, in China people always have to ask for a favor to do something, and later you have to pay back the favor,for myself, I prefer the American style, strict to the procedure.
The fifth and the last point is the humors, Quinlan says \'you can\'t fall, your health security is the company paid.\' \'Datong, welcome home, maybe next time, you can come from the front door.\' \'dady, why you come from the window\' \' because we don\'t have a chimney.\' I really adore this distinguished American humor, especially in dangerous situations, which is quite rare in China.
That\'s my whole reaction to Gua Sha Treatment.
