男孩儿回家后,拿起笔就写了起来。直到晚饭前,他才拿出了写满三张纸的作文给父亲看。作文里男孩儿那理想的生活真是太美好了:大人不用上班,每天呆在家家里看电视,要不就一起去登山;孩子们也不用上学,可以整天玩游戏机、踢足球、打篮球。一切工作都交给了机器人,只要人们把想要做的事情告诉机器人,一切都会有机器人打理好。
父亲看过后,并没有像男孩儿所想的那样夸赞他,父亲只是说:“这就是你理想中的生活吗?这样的生活真的美好吗?”男孩儿听了以后不解的看着父亲。
第二天,男孩儿的`作文经过老师的批阅后,只得了60分。
几天后,老师又让学生当一回“记者”,去采访一下自己的父母,看看他们心中“理想的生活”是怎样的。
回到家,男孩儿问父亲:“您理想中的生活是怎样的呢?”父亲说:“我理想的生活有三点就够了。第一,吃得下饭;第二,睡得着觉;第三,笑的出声。”男孩儿听了后,一下子跳了起来,激动的说:“爸爸,这可是老师布置给我们的作业啊!您就不能发挥想象,想象一种美好的世界,一个理想的生活吗?您所说的理想的生活也未免太平淡无奇了吧!”父亲说:“你现在是记者,你在采访我,我说什么你就写什么,如果你想让我说你想听的话,又何必采访我呢?”男孩儿没有办法,只好不情愿的在本子上写了父亲说的那三句话。
第二天早上老师收走了作业。在下午的客商,男孩儿的采访记录被当作范文在班上朗读,这次他得了98分。
下课后,男孩儿找到了老师,不解的问两次作文的分数为什么会相差的这么多。老师笑着回答:“你理想的生活的确是不错,但人们在生活中什么都不做只是玩儿,就会高兴,就会幸福吗?不,人活着就要劳动,就要有价值。例如,我的丈夫丢了工作,已经很长时间吃不下饭,睡不着觉,很长时间都没有笑过了。生活就是这样,只要一切顺心,平平淡淡才是做理想的生活!”
男孩儿若有所悟。
种子向往光明天空,豆芽向往绿色海洋,花苗向往芬芳世界,而我向往美好生活……
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的恬静。当清晨的第一缕金色的阳光悄悄地划破天际时,没有对面楼房像纳粹战争中炮火连天的轰隆建筑声。当深夜的第一束皎洁的月光轻轻撒入房间时,没有黑暗中的挑灯夜战。多一份恬静,多一份美好。
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的简单。朋友的情谊,很纯,很真,没有任何利益来搅浑这清澈如水的友谊。老师的爱,不需要太伟大,因为那势如潮水的澎湃我们承受不起,只要平凡就好。父母的爱,不需要太无私,因为那千军万马之势我们承受不起,只要简单就好。多一份简单,多一份美好。
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的朴实。朋友之间寥寥数语,便能够传递快乐,而不是刺耳的埋怨。师生之间一个微笑,便能够化解矛盾,而不是冰冷的僵局。亲人之间一声问好,便能够温暖心窝,而不是横眉的冷对。多一份朴实,多一份美好。
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的充实。白天,课堂上有徐老师的渊深,有周老师的有趣,有林老师的多彩……虽然一天七节课下来很累,心上却很充实,而不是麻木地上着课。傍晚,电话中有与好友的谈笑风生,即使天气非常非常地寒冷,心中却很温暖,而不是无奈地写作业。夜晚,客厅里一家人聚在一起,即便一点儿话也没有说,心里却很幸福,而不是父亲的滚滚浓烟,大鱼大肉,毫无意义的赌博与电脑游戏陪伴。时有浓浓书香弥漫,甚是充实。多一份充实,多一份美好。
我向往的美好生活,有桃花源的和谐。校园里学生积极地与老师共同探究学习问题,即使意见不同,也不会吵得面赤耳红,而会理智细心地对待。课余时与朋友之间总是最自然,最灿烂,最美丽的笑容,没有争吵,没有对峙,在合作中竞争,在竞争中合作,共同努力,共同进步,共同分享,共同分担。家庭中父母与我们像好朋友,而不是将迂腐的传统思想灌入我们大脑中,不会自认为自己是教育的权威,做什么都是对的,更不会欺骗孩子还反咬一口。多一份和谐,多一份美好。
一份恬静,一份简单,一份朴实,一份充实,一份和谐便拼凑成了我向往的美好生活。
种子向往的光明天空终有一天会实现,豆芽向往的绿色海洋终有一天会实现,花苗向往的芬芳世界终有一天会实现,而我向往美好生活终有一天会实现……
I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800's, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.
However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armand's father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armand's reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that.some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumas's last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.
As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The
Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.
Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.
Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?
The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe
It seemed to be such a coincidence that the night after I finished reading The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe, I was to dine in a restaurant distinctly related to the book itself. This restaurant was no other than the famous American-styled “Friday ’s. ” The reason for mentioning this restaurant is quite straightforward to all the gentlemen, ladies and children who have read the novel and enjoyed it, which is the fact that this restaurant was, most likely, named after the American Native in Robinson Crusoe, called Friday. This restaurant offers very exceptional service, for instance when the waitresses are asked to order dishes they kneel rather than stand, which, unlike the other restaurants I have been to, makes it easier for the customers to hear them speak. Moreover, Friday’s friendly services to the customers help them to make better choices when ordering dishes. I remembered when I went to Friday ’s last time; the waitress kindly described the items on the menu with precise details. It turned out that the combo I initially wanted was designed to be shared among a large group, not to be eaten by one person. I think this restaurant shows many commendable features similar to that of Friday. Friday brought emotional warmth to the people around him with his appealing personality. I think it was this personality that affected Crusoe and made him say that he loved Friday when Crusoe didn ’t express love for his parents, brothers, sisters, or even his wife. “When he espied me, he came running to me, laying himself down again upon the ground, with all the possible signs of an humble, thankful disposition, making many antic gestures to show it to let me know how he would serve me as long as he lived.” This was what Friday did after Crusoe had rescued him from the two savages chasing him. It was easy for me to see why Crusoe had loved Friday. After sometime, Crusoe and Friday were to rescue Friday’s father. When Friday reunited with his father, the scene was easy to move anyone: “It would have moved anyone to tears to have seen how Friday kissed him, embraced him, hugged him, cried, laughed, halloed, jumped about, danced,
sung; and then sung and jumped about again, like a distracted creature. It was a good while before I could make him speak to me.” This is my favourite chapter in the whole book. It is hard to see why Friday is an ex-savage when he can have personalities more praiseworthy than many civilized people, viz. Crusoe himself. “When he (Friday went to him (Friday’s father, he would sit down by him, open his breast, and hold his father’s head close to his bosom, half an hour together, to nourish it; then he took his arms and ankles, which were numbed and stiff with the binding, and rubbed them with his hands.” Furthermore, Friday’s expression of loyalty in asking Crusoe to kill him rather than leave him is more heartfelt than anything Crusoe ever says or does.
Crusoe, on the absolute contrary, seems incapable of deep feelings, as shown by his account of leaving his family—he never shows any emotions. After a moving lecture from Robinson’s father about his future, he still decided to follow his own wandering ambition. Careless was he about the wishes of his parents to keep him alive and prosperous, as he was the only child left in the family. When he came back from the island which he had lived on for twenty eight years, he found that it had been too late to tell his parents that he was still alive, but yet again he did not feel sorry for them; he also did not feel sorry for the two people who had to live in misery for nearly thirty years under the allusion all of their sons were dead. He had the same feelings for his wife: when he was married, he said it was “not either to my disadvantage or dissatisfaction”, implying that it was also neither to his advantage nor his satisfaction. Moreover, after his wife died, Robinson did not think of looking after the three children they had, but went back to the island, which he had lived on for twenty-eight years. It was on this trip which Robinson Crusoe revisited “His Island ” as he called it. I feel that Robinson ’s indifference to his family is almost emotionally cruel.
Before had clearly shown the contrast between Crusoe’s and Friday’s personalities, as when Friday, in his joyful reunion with his father, displayed far more emotion toward his family members than Crusoe, whereas Crusoe never mentions missing his family or dreams about the happiness of seeing them again. I think Defore is very successful in introducing Friday as part of the novel, it makes the whole novel seem much more complete and gripping to the reader, as well as proving that Defoe’s ideology of racism is civilized unlike many other Europeans at that time; natives and savages are not worse than others but can perhaps even be more modern and civilized. Those are the reasons of why I like The Life And Adventures Of Robinson Crusoe and Friday.
