i have never been to troy, but david maule made me feel as if i were standing on the high wall of troy, watching the fierce war. thanks to this british author, who adapted the famous homer’s poem into a lively story, i found it easier to understand this story. though the story happened over 3000 years ago in a remote place, i was deeply fascinated by it.
the mysterious plot is one of the reasons why i loved the story of troy so much, yet i am more interested in the human heroes of the war.
hector was the eldest son of king of troy, priam. he was not only a real hero of trojan, but was regarded the highest moral hero in greek classic by later historians. the war started because of the mischief of his brother, paris, whom he didn’t appreciate. however, since hector was the commander of the trojan army, he was obliged to fight with all force. it was really a tragedy that such a valiant man died in the duel with another great warrior, achilles.
it is natural to see death in a war. as a famous chinese parable says, “a life can be as slight as a piece of feather, or as weighty as mount tai.” sometimes, one’s glory walks hand in hand with one’s doom. achilles was such a typical person. his personal charm made the story of troy more attractive. he was so crucial because his every appearance in a war encouraged his fellow soldiers and terrified the enemies. actually, achilles was half-god who was almost invincible in people’s mind. that’s why his name was memorized long after his death.
besides the two great men, the wisdom of odysseus also proved him to be a great hero. he didn’t want to attend the war because he was happily married and had a lovely son. however, since his country was allied to mycenae, he had to take the command given by the king of mycenae. i’m quite sure that the story of the wooden horse is widely known, however, few people know who thought of the brilliant idea, that’s why i admired odysseus so much because he was the person who got the idea. thanks to the horse, the ten-year war came to an end at last. if you want to know how the wooden horse worked, just read the book.
the ancient greeks believed that the gods and goddesses also played important roles in the origin, process and ending of the whole story.
the story of the golden apple was such an example. when eris, the goddess of argument and disagreement, threw out the golden apple to a wedding ceremony on mount olympus, a dispute happened. hera, the queen of gods, athena, the goddess of wisdom, and aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were all involved in the argument for the apple. none of them was willing to give way, so they turned to paris for a final judgment. tempted by aphrodite’s beauty and promise, paris handed the apple to her. to keep her word, aphrodite helped him to get helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as his wife. that was the cause of the war.
paris’s choice obviously annoyed the other two goddesses. so during the war, they helped the greek alliance army while some other gods, such as apollo and aphrodite, guarded troy. when paris dueled with helen’s former husband menelaus, aphrodite saved paris when he was about to be finished off.
after the duel between those two people, there was a truce between the greek alliance and troy. however, both hera and athena were not happy to see it. hera pursued her husband zeus:“ now, will you send athena to make the troyjans break the peace?”(page 22 then with zeus’s permission, athena went down to start the war again and finally she brought the greeks to success.
from the whole story, we can see that in ancient greeks’ view, gods sometimes played a much more important role in their life. however, with the rapid development of science, we have learned that the greek gods never existed. this is why a recent movie of troy has not mentioned a single god. everything happened due to men’s ambition, love, loyalty or jealousy. with those emotion and people’s effort, we human beings can accomplish wonders and be master of the world.
god are of less importance than they used to be. nonetheless, the gods and goddesses made the story of troy more mysterious and marvelous.
i have learnt from the book more than the wonderful story of history, love and war. i believe that human can determine their destiny by their own. i highly recommend this book to my friends.
不知道你现在是以什么样的心情在看这封信,是不是还想此时的我一样,正为自己渺茫的前途而感伤,还是……所以与其客套地说你好,不如发自真心的问一声:你好吗?
我先给你说说我现在的生活状态吧。
算一算我现在进入大学已经有大半年了,对学校及周围的环境也算比较熟悉了,不过我现在对大学生活似乎还不够适应,每天都有很多忙不完的事,功课的复习也总是跟不上进度。都说大学的学习是很轻松的,但是我一点也没有这种感觉,有时还很怀念那曾经深恶痛疾、朝思夜盼着想要快点结束的高三生活,毕竟那时虽然同样很忙碌,但那也是充实的。同学们忙里偷闲互相开开玩笑、打打闹闹,抑或为了同样的数学题或物理题时而埋头沉思,时而因不同的观点争论得不可开交,甚至于高三即将结束时的那场冷战……一切的一切,现在都是那么的怀念,就像那时同样怀念高中生活一样,也许人就是这样吧,不懂得珍惜眼前的生活,直至失去了才想起那时的好。所以我猜,你现在一定也很怀念四年前的我的生活吧,尽管现在的我对其抱怨不迭。
大学最重要的还是学习。这里的学习不仅仅是你在大学时期的侠义的学习知识,而是广泛的学习各种技能,提高你个人的自身素质。在大学四年里,大一时,你在学习基础课程的同时,参加各种社团活动,担任一定的职位,培养自己的处事能力和交流技巧,为将来的求职做好准备;大二时,除了完成基础课到专业课的转变,还可以广泛涉猎各个领域的知识,扩大自己的知识面,可以适当地选择与自己专业相关的兼职或感兴趣的工作,参加义工、支教等社会实践活动,进一步与社会接触;大三时,这是规划人生目标的重要阶段,在这一年,你要对自己以后的发展方向做好选择,尽量把大四的知识在大三学完,可以去请教学姐、学长的经历,选择最适合自己的人生道路;大四时,这时已是把自己送入社会的时候,可以写好自己的`求职简历,多浏览各网站,参加公司面试,如果你在大学四年有目标地坚持自己的信念与生活,那么大四就是你收获的季节。
四年之后,你或许会去读研,实现自己的学术梦想。你或许会去留学,在我梦想的国度里追溯艺术的起源;你或许会回到故乡,回到那个生你养你的小镇,闻一闻乡土的气息;你或许会愈飞愈远,漂泊到无人知晓的远方,寄一张明信片就是最淳朴的挂记。你或许找到了很好的工作,打电话跟妈妈讲时有着略显骄傲的语气。你或许还在为找到一份好工作而忧虑,却又不愿让家人担心。于是你学会了微笑,学会了把眼泪埋进心底。在我心里,这也是一种成熟,一种我还不曾拥有的勇气。曾子曰:“士不可以不弘毅,任重而道远,仁以为己任,不亦重乎?”我的大学四年,绝不是碌碌无为的四年。
四年后,我一定会成为一个具有综合能力的人,进入社会这个大家庭,用我在吉大学到的各种知识武装自己,游刃有余。
四年后,我一定能实现自己的梦想,通过吉大这个跳板,登上属于自己的舞台,尽展自己的风采。
四年后,我一定要学着自己奋斗,锻炼自己,在干出一番成绩后。
大学的四年,是一段不长不短的四年。路漫漫其修远兮,吾将上下而求索。努力吧,现在的自己,让我的大学四年,永远无悔。
当新学期来临时,许多学生对新生活表现得很兴奋。在大学,新生快乐地享受着自由。在接下来的四年里,他们希望过着高中描绘的'美好生活。但事实是,大学生活中有很多东西要学。
First, the major knowledge occupies the most important role. As a student, learning knowledge is their job, while many students focus on playing cellphone in the class, or just sleep. They lose interest in studying when they come to the free environment. Mastering the professional skill helps them to be competitive. The sad thing is that most of them can't realize it.
首先,专业知识占据着最重要的角色。作为一名学生,学习知识是他们的工作,而很多学生在课堂上玩手机,或者睡觉。当他们来到自由的环境后对学习失去了兴趣。掌握专业技能帮助他们提高竞争力,可悲的是,大多数人没有意识到这一点。
Second, as there is much free time, they can make use of it and gain the valuable experience. Students can join some clubs to develop more interest, or find part-time jobs. It is better than to stay in the dorm and play computer games all the time.
第二,由于空闲时间多,他们可以充分利用好这些时间,并从中获得宝贵的经验。学生可以参加一些活动来发展更多的兴趣爱好,或找份兼职工作。比呆在宿舍玩电脑游戏好多了。
A lot of students feel lost in the campus, because they don't plan campus life well. The things you learn will make you different in the future.
很多学生因为没有计划好校园生活在所以迷失了。所学到的东西会让你在未来有所作为。
A little boy was very naughty and would not say his prayers before going to bed.
One day his father warned him that if he kept doing so. He would not go to heaven. The boy cried noisily and said, "I don't like to go to heaven alone. I want to go with you and mama."
有个男孩非常顽皮,不肯在睡觉前做祈祷。
有一天他的父亲告诫他说,如果他老是这样,就上不了天堂的。男孩大哭起来:“我不喜欢一个人上天堂,我要同你和妈妈一起去。”
