Dear James, In today’s newspaper, I read about the recent events in your town and I am writing to extend my deepest condolences.
It broke my heart to see all those pictures of those whose homes have been destroyed in the tragic hurricane. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw a little girl crying on the roof of her house asking for help. I am really worried about you and your family, and all your friends there. I am crossing my fingers for you now in hopes that you are all safe and sound.
I can only imagine how difficult this time must be for you, and I want to extend to you my unwavering support. Our government and many nongovernmental organizations are initiating various campaigns to urge people to donate money and necessary things to send to America. I donated all my allowance that I have been saving for years.
I feel extremely sorry for this tragedy, and I will be looking forward to hearing from you. Please pass my concern on to your parents.
Yours sincerely, Meng Fei
《美丽中国》是表现中国野生动植物和自然人文景观的大型电视纪录片,看过之后给了我深深的触动。纪录片作为“以真实生活为创作素材,以真人真事为表现对象的电 影电视艺术形式” ,其手段在于对真实素材进行艺术加工与展现,其目的在于以展现真实为 本质,并用真实引发人们思考。但是,自然类纪录片因为较少有人的参与,缺少人与人之间 一目了然的矛盾冲突和引人入胜的故事情节, 与社会类的纪录片相比, 它更多地表现为单纯 的猎奇与对真实镜头的捕捉,在思维品格上难以胜出。在纪录片创作中,创作观念是非常重 要的,创作者在拍摄纪录片之前,先要对所表现的事物进行思考。任何一部纪录片都或多或 少地体现作者对艺术和生命的态度, 纪实的品格上升为思维的品格, 才能使创作进入审美的 层次。 国际自然类电视节目主席帕萨`萨拉斯曾说: “自然类影片绝不只是动物、树和昆虫等非 常近的镜头和放大镜头,还有被称为自然精神的东西。也就是说拍摄自然类纪录片,首先需 要摄制者对自然的热爱和了解,要懂得珍爱生命、尊重生命。它需要一种人文精神,而绝不 只是为了追求感官刺激。 ”他同时还说: “现今社会强调的人文精神,并不是单纯的指对人的 价值、人的个性、人的尊严、人的地位、人的发展与人的自由的关怀、看护和尊重,还有我 们所在的这个大自然,包括自然中的一切生命。人文精神就是一种关怀,真诚的对自然世界 的一种关怀。 ”
《美丽中国》是一部反映中国自然生态的纪录片。由 BBC 环球公司与中国中视传媒股 份有限公司联合拍摄,英文名称为”WILD CHINA” ,也有译为《野性中国》《锦绣中华》, 历时三年拍摄,共六集。与其说这是一部纪录片,不如说它是一场视觉的盛宴。诗一般的画 面、 伴之纯粹大自然的声音、 独具中国气质的磅礴之声相结合的美丽画面都给我们带来 了一种久违的震撼,强大的视觉冲击力带给我们的是全新的视听完美享受。 然而,不仅如此,纪录片《美丽中国》中更有一种陷于画面和音乐背后的、厚实的浓浓 的情怀,一种博大警世的人文关怀流淌其中,它不仅给我一种视觉的震撼,更让我有了对自 然的震撼与敬畏。
《美丽中国》中的人文精神。在整部纪录片中,没有清晰的人物对白,解说词只是展示 性的, 可以说主要是在用视觉语言和影像的力量展示着自然, 更展示着不朽的人文主义精神, 这些精神深深地打动着我。 张家界深山溪水中的娃娃鱼,贵州山间的叶猴,茫茫雪山中被呼为“山中野老”的滇金 丝猴,迁徙途中在鄱阳湖歇脚的浩荡鸟群,上海郊区寺庙中 400 余岁高龄的斑点龟,贵州岩 洞中的蝙蝠。 傍晚时分, 古老爹倚在窗前, 仰头远眺, 看着遮天蔽日从北方飞来的成群雨燕, 计算着它们南来的日子,并以此盘算着插秧的日期。金腰燕飞来的第二天,各家各户就一同 忙着把秧苗移到山间的梯田之中,而头上的雨燕也在忙着建筑新巢。 如此清晰逼真的视觉语言让我在体味生命力量的挣扎的同时, 更让我深深地感受到在这 部 6 个小时的纪录片中,所展示的动物、植物是与我们人类一样平等而珍贵的生命。在优美 的摄像的引导下, 渐渐走进了大自然的世界, 逐渐用一颗平等的心态感受着自然中生命的起 起伏伏。这部纪录片带给我们的不单单是美的享受,更融入了一种生命的整合:当我们知道 在拍摄后的几周后 400 余岁高龄的斑点龟死了时会遗憾; 在蛇岛上, 当我们看到鸟儿逃脱蛇 的攻击时会高兴??影片中, 往南迁徙的鸟儿在枝头歇息, 透过画面观众看到伪装的腹蛇就 附着在同一棵树的树枝上,且仿佛那腹蛇一张口就要吞下鸟儿了,内心就会焦急万分,担忧 鸟儿能否躲过蛇的攻击。当看到有的鸟儿未能逃脱,只能成为腹蛇的食物时,令人感到无助 和无奈,并感受到了生物链的冷酷与无情。这一切令观众的心随着自然生命而跳动。 《美丽中国》中展现给观众的自然世界与每一个人所面对的并无不同:孤独、疲惫、不 能支撑和致命伤害。
《美丽中国》用它的镜头告诉人们:自然生物是我们的朋友,只不过与 我们生活的方式、地点不一样。也许是社会生活太过复杂和疲惫,我们早就忘了其实所有的 生物都是地球的主人,我们应该发现,这个地球不仅仅属于我们,还属于动物,属于更多的 生灵。纪录片引导人们关注或者说重拾的,可能正是已被忽视掉的人类与动物之间的感情、 生物之间奇妙的感应和联系。 如果每一个观众都在观后像珍惜自己一样善待动物, 那么这就 足以体现这部纪录片在现实中的价值和意义。 理解爱护珍稀动物, 保护我们的自然环境的意 义,正是影片所要表达的强烈的人文关怀精神。
《美丽中国》中的生态平衡观。文明是一把双刃剑,在带给人类物质享受和现代生活的 同时,也带来了人类与自然的隔阂和异化,人类的心灵越来越粗糙,感觉越来越迟钝,心肠 越来越坚硬??于是生命的意识淡薄,悲悯情怀丧失,人文精神缺乏,人类成为唯一只爱自 己的冷漠动物。但是《美丽中国》 ,它带给观众的不仅是美轮美奂的中国自然视觉奇观,还 有前所未有的心灵震撼, 人们震撼于大自然的美与脆弱, 让冷漠已久的心灵变得湿润、 柔软。 这部长达 6 小时的大型纪录片的特点是以自然为对象, 以平等的视点关注人与自然界中的生 物。以纪实的手法和写意的风格,来抒写和展示自然的奇观和生命的奇迹,让观众有机会近 距离地观赏中国大自然中生存的各种生命,在观赏中感受自然的\'壮观、神奇与美妙,感受生 命的庄严、神圣与美丽,同时也对自然法则产生了新的认识和新的思考。
《美丽中国》把思考的领域从自然界扩展到人类、扩展到人与自然的关系。实际上它是 在借大自然中生物的生存状态观察人类的行为,反思人类未来的命运。或者说,它不是从人 类的角度看自然,而是从自然的角度解读人类,即将动物的世界作为这个世界的主角,从自 然的角度来观察人类的行为, 巧妙地将动物的世界与人的世界进行艺术化的对比, 用暗示和 警示的方法来审视人类的价值观念及许多悖论性行为方式。 无污染无破坏的自然环境本来是 自然界最美好、最壮观的景象,而人类无止境的开发与建设却把这些美好近乎破坏殆尽,多 种物种濒临灭绝,美丽的自然美景不复存在,最终也影响了人类的生存。当我们从大自然的 角度来观察这个世界时, 才能看清这个世界的面貌与形态, 才能发现这个世界的自身结构和 内在关联,才能看清自己面貌的丑陋和行为的愚蠢。 《美丽中国》中人文精神指导和欣赏下的视觉语言。视觉语言是纪录片创作者用以构成 视觉形象、表达制作思想的各种手段技法的总和。因此视觉艺术、画面思维是纪录片制作人 员应有的基本思维方式,也是电视纪录片表达创意、展示故事的主要创作思维方式。对于纪 录片来说,视觉是第一性的。纪录片是供人们欣赏的艺术品, “好看”是纪录片的“核” ,因 此,视觉语言是纪录片思维品格表达的一种最重要手段。 正是基于对自然生命的尊重与深厚的感情, 纪录片 《美丽中国》 用独具中国气质的磅礴、 浑厚、 包容的声音结合美丽的中国自然画面, 把原属于自然科学范畴的主题拍成了洋溢深厚 人文主义精神的优秀作品,其视觉语言充溢、表现着浓厚的思维品格。如大量的长镜头,跟 随对象的运动,用特效表现的风云变幻、万物生长,大量的航拍镜头展现出壮阔的美感、梯 田区的整体视觉冲击效果;运用自然光线、光度的强弱,光位的顺光、逆光、侧光,光比的明与暗等,追求写实性;运用蒙太奇的手法,切换自然中的不同场景,无不集中反映着人与 自然和谐这一伟大主题。同时,拍摄者在摄像时总是尽可能地亲近拍摄对象,获取最真实的 视觉画面、获取自然的最美好的瞬间。对于摄制者来说,它们已经不是单纯的物或景,而是 怀有情感的相互依存的“伙伴” 。
《美丽中国》 “创造和利用现实” ,以自己的人文精神与思想来指导纪录片中视觉语言的运 用,而绝不是为纪实而纪实,做呆板、机械的原生态记录。如此生动的记录给所看到的人巨 大的启发。我们都应站起呼吁: “保护自然,保护野生动植物和那些历史悠久的自然人文景观! ”
嗨!我是一滴水,来自四面八方的河流中。哦,对了,我有许多份工作,这些工作成了我不可缺少的责任。
现在的我在一条河流里,那里面住着我的很多朋友,在那我们可以尽情的唱歌跳舞。
刚刚风伯伯向我吹来一阵风,原来是风伯伯要带我去旅行了!我闭着眼睛,紧紧跟在他的后面,不一会儿,我碰到了小草妹妹,她用轻柔的声音给我打招呼。我知道小草妹妹因为有了我的存在而更加美丽,动人,我一蹦一跳地进入了小草的怀里。
瞧,我正和小伙伴玩得开心呢!天上的云阿姨对着我大声地喊道:“小不点,快上来吧!人类需要你,赶紧上来和你的姐妹一起下场雨,把干枯的土地冲洗一下,浇清那枯萎的花草,让它们茁壮成长。这都是你的责任。”听了云阿姨的话,我的心里有一种说不出的骄傲与自豪。因为这是我的责任,我的责任是多么的高尚啊。为了人类的繁荣富强我愿意牺牲自己。说着,我便如剑般飞速地前往天空,跟随我的同伴一起降落人间,为人们及时洒下了渴望已久的甘露。用我们的生命去延续动物植物的生命,换来一个永久的生命命州。我会用甘甜的水来灌溉良田;让水果树结出甜甜的果实,让苹果树结出红彤彤的苹果,让梨树结出金灿灿的小娃娃来。
我是一滴水,我一定管好我的兄弟姐妹,让他们乖乖的待在家里,在大海里倘佯,在江河里跳舞,在小河里散步,在小溪里嬉戏,不再让人类害怕我们,而是用赞赏的语言夸奖,我要用自已的能源,送给发电厂,发出干净环保电力能源。那样,机器转的更快了,小孩读书更认真了,大人们工作更加努力了,老人们在灯光下看电视更加开心了。
现在我又来到了生活区,开始了我的另一种生活。人们洗刷都会用到我。我的身体在家家户户的水管里流动着。还偶尔学学小朋友坐着滑滑梯玩一玩呢;今天我要完成最后一项任务了,不过也是最重要的一项。有一个小朋友生病了,我和姐妹们煮沸之后,要为他服用药材。我已经进入了杯子,这时,我嘴边浮起一些微笑,幸福地闭上了眼睛。
懂得了责任,才会自立;一个人自立了,才会自强、自尊。一个有责任心的人在别人心中如同一座高高的山,不可逾越,不可挪移。我终于懂得了责任,一种无声的诺言。
成东青发起设立新梦想的动机前面已经提及,就是为了向苏梅证明他的成功,用这些来抚慰自我受伤的灵魂。然而,成东青十分清楚,成就新梦想仅靠其一已之力肯定不行,必须依靠合作力量,于是他想到了大学的好友王阳和孟晓骏。
王阳是经成东青邀请,第一个加盟新梦想的合伙人。那时王阳刚被Lucy抛弃,虽然其对此故作无所谓,其实内心无比痛苦。王阳是个追求浪漫的人,所以其加盟新梦想主要是为了填补精神的空虚,除此之外他似乎没有赋予新梦想更多意义。所以,王阳的加入没有给成东青造成威胁,由于不存在竞争关系,他们能够在新梦想和睦相处,并在很多的分歧中站在成东青一方。
孟晓骏则不一样,他在王阳和成东青眼里历来就是个自私且有思想的家伙。他的加入确实给成东青的新梦想带来了实质性的冲击。孟晓骏对美国极度迷恋,真的到了美国后,却受到了诸多歧视和怠慢,这让他的自信极为受挫。之后,他明白仅有获得强大的力量才能受到美国尊重,于是他选择了与成东青合作,试图经过新梦想成就一翻大业,以平复美国梦带给他的创伤。而成东青也需要利用孟晓骏的美国经历来加速新梦想的.成功,于是二人各自心怀鬼胎的走在了一齐。然而,在新梦想朝向何处走的问题上,二人产生了严重的分歧。孟晓骏期望新梦想经过股改上市,最终实现公司的做大做强,而成东青则反对上市,力图维持其对新梦想的统治地位。新梦想的股改必然背离成东青设立和经营新梦想的人生梦想,不上市孟晓骏加盟新梦想则失去意义。所以二者间的矛盾出现了不可调和的状态。
在这场新危机中,成东青掌握着决定新梦想生死的主动权。或许是因为被苏梅伤害过深,存在补偿心理,使得成东青在处理此次危机时,竟然转换为苏梅式的冷酷主角,态度强硬、寸步不让,最终导致了孟晓骏的出走。
其实,自从王阳、孟晓骏加盟后,新梦想就不再属于成东青一个人了,尽管两位合伙人是小***,但仍是***,仍可怀揣梦想。成东青为了自我的梦想,而忽略其他合作者的梦想,最终导致了新梦想的信任危机。
如果将梦想比作天鹅肉,那么三人皆为天鹅肉而来;如果一个人将天鹅肉独吞,其实相当于将合作者当作了天鹅肉。
Wild China
The last hidden world ----China.
After watching the video for the second time, I was still fascinated by the well-bedded terraces, endless steppes, beautiful mountains and etc. There is no doubt that this video is a completely outstanding documentary which reflects Chinese Human Geography. To be honest, as a Chinese, I feel ashamed that I have not seen the most sceneries in this video. Our country is so attractive that I can not wait to learn more about it.
In addition, when I was attracted by the beautiful scenery, I still thought about the development of our country. China has the largest population and the most ancient culture in the world, developing is the most important problem now. Land desertification, water resources crisis, more and more Industrial wastes, we need to face all those problems.
Although China has vast territory and abundant resources, we should take care of it. There are so many species have disappeared forever, what we can do is to do our best to protect them. I hope our country will be wild not only in the past but also in the future.
The Review Writing of《This is Water》
The author, David Foster Wallace, was considered by many to be one of the finest writers of his generation. He only gave one speech in public in all his life, in which he talked about his view of life. The speech happened in a commencement of Kenyon College in 2005. Now, the widely distributed video has been into a thin book, which name is “this is water”.
According to Wallace's view, the water was on behalf of the most obviously, the most important reality, but it was difficult to see or talk about; and “the same experience for different people may mean something completely different”, because everyone had a different “default settings” and a different way from the experience in the construction of meaning. Therefore, the ideal of liberal education was to make people out of this self center, learning to “how to think” and “thinking” control. Wallace then cut to the usual humor and plain philosophy from the contemporary urban life, pointing out the importance of maintaining vigilance and consciousness. At the same time, we should be free to choose the way of looking at things.
At the beginning of the speech, Wallace talked a story about the fish, and it is pointed out that “the most obvious, ubiquitous, important realities are often the hardest to see and talk about”. In our daily life, we tend to think that we are the absolute center of the natural, just like our default-setting. But most, we tend to automatically determine the thing, in fact, is completely wrong, even be fooled. Therefore in front of fact, we should learn to choose and think deeply. Then Wallace cited an example of the story of shopping in the supermarket. Just as our natural default-setting, we may think that traffic jams and crowded aisles and long checkout lines are pissed and miserable experience. When we think like this, we are operating on the automatic, unconscious belief that we are the center of the world, so that we feel the most boring and the most frustrating part in the adult world. However, if we changed our method of thinking, we may feel the difference of the things and make other choices. But doing like this is hard, needs will and mental effort. If we want to feel a meaningful and sacred experience instead of a crowed, loud, slow situation, the only thing we should do is to decide what to worship. We have the right to decided what to worship, but there are different kinds of freedom. The real freedom includes attention, and awareness, and displaying. In order to achieve this freedom, we should keep reminding ourselves “This is water” constantly. But it is hard to maintain awareness and activity in the adult world; we should keep study from now on.
As a famous saying said, life is not a lack of beauty, but the lack of eyes to find beauty. We should be good at discovering hidden in the things below the surfaceof things, it will open another world.
The earthquake which happened two weeks ago in Sichuan province is an enormous disaster for our whole nation. It has caused both financial and life loss. Until now, fifty thousand people lost their lives due to the earthquake and much more injured seriously. Five million people have no homes to return as the majority of the buildings were collapsed
We are sorry about this accident. It’s a pity that many children lost their parents and many couples lost their lovers. I could not help but cry when hearing of the moving stories that happened during the disaster
Our whole nation is a big family, every member would like to give a helping hand to the people who suffered from the earthquake. We must show our warm-heartedness and make donations to the stricken area so that their broken heart can be warmed.
A series of actions has been taken since the earthquake happened. I believe the stricken area will soon be restored with the soldiers and other warm-hearted people’s help. The future will be bright, cheer up!
Yours sincerely
Be a Woman Be a Human
Little Women is an autobiographical novel published in 1868 and written by American author Louisa May Alcott. She wrote from the heart, and wove into the story incidents from the lives of herself and her three sisters at Concord. It was based on author’s own experiences as a child in Concord, Massachusetts with her three sisters. Little Women is the story of the Marches, a family used to hard toil and suffering. Although Father March is away with the Union armies, the sisters Meg, Jo, Amy and Beth keep in high spirits with their mother, affectionately named Marmee.
The novel hasn't got fantastic plot, but the author described the happy family life with the simple language. However, this is the story of their growing maturity and wisdom and the search for the contents of family life. It has become a much loved classic tale and many of the trials of the sisters are all too relevant today as evidenced by its continued following.
One of the prominent themes in Little Women is the coming of age or maturation of the girls. During the course of the novel we see them grow in many ways--physically, intellectually, and especially emotionally. After certain happy times winning over the Laurences, their friendly rich neighbor, dark times arrive as Marmee finds out about her husband's illness. Worse is to come as Beth contracts scarlet fever in her Samaritan efforts for a sick neighbor and becomes more or lean invalid. The novel
tells of their young womanhood with the additional strains of romance, Beth's terminal illness, the pressures of marriage and the outside world.
When I read the book, the comfortable feeling and the sense of growing up both strike me as reasonable. These are some most impressive plots to me.
All of the characters who earlier wish for genius and success—Amy, Jo, and Laurie—now realize that they merely possess talent, not the genius for which they earlier hope. These realizations are the results of growing up and learning to accept small defeats. Even Jo’s writing style changes. She no longer writes tales of adventure and intrigue but, instead, write in simpler style that sounds similar to that Little Women itself. Tough one can argue that this change in writing style reflects a loss of independence for Jo, one can also argue that it demonstrates an ability to adapt her creativity to the world around her.
Another plot appeals to me a lot is the end of the story. In contrast to the stormy, childish encounter between Laurie and Jo, Bhaer’s proposal to Jo is touching and more grown-up. Jo goes out to seek Bhaer, demonstrating that she has some agency in the affair; when he proposes, the rain and mud prevent him from going down on his knee or giving his hand, so they stand literally on an equal footing. Jo, furthermore, looks nothing like a romantic heroine; she is bedraggled with rain and mud, but it makes no difference. This marriage, which begins with equality andprimacy of the heart rather than primacy of appearance, is promising.
There is also some foreshadowing in this book. For instance, when Laurie parents the March sisters with a postbox, the writer hints that love letter will pass through the box in years to come. Laurie promise to kiss Amy before she dies foreshadows their future marriage.
The old story brings me some contemporary thinking. Women’s struggle between familial duty and personal growth; the danger of gender stereotyping; the necessity of work; and the importance to be genuine. No matter what age you are in, you need to keep equality concept in mind. Just as the poem If by Joseph Rudyard Kipling goes:
If you can talk with crows and keep your virtue,
Or walk with kings---nor lose the common touch.
Then you’ll be a woman, and be a human. The book teaches me how to be a woman, or rather how to be a human.
