One possible version:
The summer holiday is coming. Our class have had a discussion about what to do during the holiday. Some are in favor of staying at home. They think it’s both convenient and comfortable. What’s more, they can save money for other purposes. But they will lose the chance of getting to know the outside world.
However, others prefer to go out for traveling since it can increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. But they will spend more money and meet some difficulties while traveling.
In my opinion, it would be much better to stay at home, for I can do what I like, such as reading books, watching TV, and helping my parents with the housework.
一转眼间周末又来临了,妈妈准备带我去吃西餐。“真爽!”我心里一阵惊喜。
我们来到河坊街,妈妈指着“大快活牛排屋”说:“就在这。”我驻足前望,真怀疑走错了地方,那“大快活”招牌的上方是一排木质结构的仿古窗棂,而且还“大红灯笼高高挂”呢,这里面应该是传统风味小吃呀,怎么会有西餐吃?
妈妈见我一脸疑惑,就风趣地说:“看不懂吧,这叫做‘古为今用,洋为中用’,灵活经营。这里原本是……”
妈妈话没说完,迎宾小姐迎了上来,热情地引领我们上了二楼。
整个餐厅座无虚席,服务小姐把我领到靠窗的一张刚走了客人的桌前,就坐后立即有服务生为我们换了桌布,又将刀、叉、勺三样金属餐具排列在一张折成三角形的纸巾上,旁边还有一块叠得很艺术的橙色餐巾。服务小姐向我们介绍了各式西餐,最后我点了儿童套餐,咖喱牛排,九成熟的,到底是中国人吃西餐嘛。
首先端上来的是饮品,泡沫红茶和开胃酒。泡沫红茶我不喜欢,开胃酒很不错,甜甜的、酸酸的,略带酒味,很适合我这未成年女士喝,妈妈也赞许地与我举杯同饮。当我端着高脚杯与妈妈碰杯时,我有一种长大成人的感觉,我喜欢这种感觉。
紧接着服务员又端来了玉米羹和生菜沙拉。玉米羹滑嫩可口,蔬菜沙拉开始吃不习惯,渐渐地却嚼出了一种新感觉,甘甜清脆,别有风味。
这顿西餐让我大开眼界!
Dear Dad,

一走进西餐厅,我们就被餐厅的布置所吸引。在餐厅的入口处,排放着一盆盆盛开的鲜花,争奇斗妍;铮亮的大理石地面,能照出人的影子;四周的墙壁上,随意地点缀着几处壁画。柔和的灯光,优美的琴声,一切是那么的迷人。我问爸爸:“那正在弹奏的是什么曲子?”“《给爱丽丝》”爸爸随口而出。“《致爱丽丝》吧?”妈妈纠正道。“呵呵,我故意说的,----反正都一样。”爸爸一脸无所谓笑了笑。
我们找了一处临窗的有吊椅的位置,刚坐下,马上有服务员走了过来。爸爸很绅士的拿起菜单点起菜来:“三份水果沙拉……法式面包……嗯,一听啤酒,一份牛排。”“牛排要几成熟的?”服务员小声的问道。“九成熟吧!”爸爸好像很内行。其实我知道,爸爸也是第一次吃西餐。我和妈妈对视了一下,偷偷的抿着嘴笑了。
服务员去了不久,很快又回来了。她从盘里拿来一包面巾纸、刀、叉等,又从盘里端下几份水果沙拉,面包。我尝了一下沙拉,味道很好;而面包色道也挺好的,焦黄焦黄的。爸爸拿起刀叉给我和妈妈切了一块,自己也切了一块,边吃边小声地嘀咕着:“嗯,味道还行,有点儿像我们家的`油炸剩馍……”
又过了一会儿,服务员把我们的牛排送了过来。那牛排装在一个有木托的铁盘子里,旁边还有个鸡蛋,而蛋清,蛋黄还不时的晃动,显然没有熟透,真不明白外国人是怎么吃的。正琢磨着,服务员又从盘里拎起一个小汤壶,她让爸爸用餐巾布遮一下牛排,然后往铁盘里注汤,“吱——”汤汁四溅,怪不得用木托托着铁盘,原来铁盘是高温的。嗨,这吃法真稀奇!
那牛排是很大的一块。我也不问它吃西餐的什么礼仪了,抡起刀叉想切下一块,可很不好切。爸爸说:“来,左手拿叉按住,右手用刀,这样……”我好不容易切下了一块,放到妈妈面前,妈妈看着我,开心的笑了。我又给爸爸和自己切了一块,吃到嘴里,很松软,很好吃。还别说,和妈妈做的红烧牛肉味道就是不一样。
……
晚餐结束了,我们走出餐厅时,街上路灯已经亮了。我问爸爸:“爸爸,下次什么时候再带我来啊?”“下次啊?等咱有了钱……”不等到爸爸说完,我和妈妈齐声接道:“汽车买两辆,开一辆拖一辆;飞机买两架,一架座机,一架护航。”
“就是嘛,到时,别说吃西餐……”
“哈哈……”我们一家不由得笑了起来。
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.
