Suppose you have found something wrong with the electronic dictionary that you bought from an online store the other day. Write an email to the customer service center to
1 make a complaint, and
2 demand a prompt solution.
Dear Sir or Madam,
I bought/ordered an electronic dictionary from your online shop on January 1st, but I found it has some problems after using it for a short period of time.
To begin with, the battery needs recharging after a mere 2 hours of use. This means that I need to carry my charger with me when I go out for a day. In addition, the buttons on the electronic dictionary are so small that it is nearly impossible to type anything with them. Personally, I found this to be completely unacceptable.
Therefore, I would like either to change for another model that works well or a full refund. I am looking forward to your prompt reply.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

Some international students are coming to your university. Write them an email in the name of the Students’ union to
1 extend your welcome and
2 provide some suggestions for their campus life here.
Dear Friends,
On behalf of the Students’ Union of Beijing Foreign Studies University, I would like to extend our heartfelt welcome to all of the overseas students from all over the world to study in our university.
It is my great pleasure to propose several practical suggestions to you. In the first place, life in this prestigious university perhaps is not as satisfactory as what you expected. You may be tightly bound by continual classes, excessive homework and exams. In the second place, in spite of all these adversities, you will still enjoy your life in this esteemed institution. All types of extracurricular activities such as sports meets, speech contests, different social gatherings and dancing parties provide ample opportunities to make friends.
All in all, although there are a host of pressure, life in our campus is a worthwhile period in your whole lifetime. Wish you enjoy your life here!
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming
今晚再看一遍《美女也野兽》,忽然从其中看出与基耶斯洛夫斯基的《白》有几分类似的主题——平等:如果粗鲁的王子不曾因没有爱心而被惩罚,变成野兽,那么,他可能爱上贝尔么?他们可能在一起吗?
粗鲁的王子,即使他从来不懂得善待他人,也不懂爱为何物,他仍旧有骄傲的理由——他是一个华贵显赫的王子。
可是温柔的野兽,即使他再绅士,心中充满爱,他仍然有自卑的理由——他是一只外表丑陋的野兽。
而与此相对,贝尔的身份是不变的——一个美丽善良怀抱梦想的贫家女。
然而我们可以大胆假设一点,如果王子不曾被施魔法,那么,即使贝尔再美丽再善良,王子未必会爱上她——因为我们的前提是粗鲁的王子根本不懂得什么是爱。
但是在他身份垂直下降,直到变为一只面目狰狞的怪兽的时候,他却能够以一种低姿态,甚至自卑的姿势,来欣赏一个过去可能连见他的面也不配的贫家女——而此时她正是他的救世主。
基氏电影《白》也是如此。在电影的开头,由于生理障碍,世俗的天枰和双方心理的天枰都明显偏向于女主角。
但是随着情节发展,男主角像胡汉三一样又回来了,而且还带回了显赫的资产,过去的生理障碍也一并消失,重振雄风。
此时的天枰转换了方向,慢慢向男主角倾斜。就连曾经绝情离开他的女主角,也重新爱上了他。
虽然在电影《白》中,这是一次人为的精巧的报复,但是和《美女与野兽》一样,它告诉了我们一个古老的真理:爱情并不是基于无有凭空产生的,爱情中,掺杂着太多复杂的现实因素,有关身份的悬殊,有关财富的多少,有关身体健康与否,有关相貌美丑。
换句话说,门当户对是古老智慧的结晶,它仍然能够用于指导现代生活,并且在人类本性发生扭转之前绝不过时。门当户对的婚姻和爱情实在是一种理想状态,是一种双赢的结合。
所以,与其说,是美丽的贝尔使得王子懂得了爱,变得温柔仁慈和绅士了,不如说是天枰的倾斜使得粗鲁的王子变得温柔谦卑——当然,美女的力量也不容否定,只是,这影响实在不足以使一个人转变本性。
同样讨论此主题的电影,还有金基德的《坏小子》,那是另一个貌似诡异离奇但又完全符合实际逻辑的世界。
对此主题浅显的理解到此为止,以后若有再加补充。
关于题目给出的问题,我的回答是:我要一个温柔的野兽,因为我是小弱弱,(*^__^* 嘻嘻……
