There was a farmer in the Song Kingdom in ancient China. He worked in his field day after day. In good harvest years, he could only have enough food to eat and enough clothing to wear. If the field failed to produce enough crops, he had to go hungry. This farmer wanted to improve his life. But he was too lazy and too cowardly. He always dreamed of having unexpected fortune.
A miracle took place at last. One day, when he worked in the field, some people were hunting nearby. They shouted loudly one after another. Some little animals were running desperately. Suddenly, a hare dashed itself headlong against the stump of a dead tree in his field and died.
That day, he had a good meal.
From that day on, he no longer worked in his field. From morning till night, he stayed by that miraculous stump, waiting for another hare. Will the miracle happen again?
People often use the set phrase “staying by a stump waiting for more hares to come and dash themselves against it" to refer to persons dreaming to reap without sowing.
在战国时代的宋国,有一个农民,每天都很辛苦地在田地里干活.遇到好年景,也不过刚刚吃饱穿暖;要是遇到灾荒,他就得忍饥挨饿了.他很想能过上好一点的日子,可是他太懒,胆子又特小,干什么都是又懒又怕的,总是想着能碰到送上门来的意外之财就好了。
奇迹终于发生了。一天,他正在田里干活,一群打猎的人靠近了。吆喝之声四处起伏,受惊的小动物们没命地奔跑。突然, 有一只兔子,不偏不倚,一头撞死在他田边的树根上。
这天,他美美地饱餐了一顿。
从此,他就不再种地了,一天到晚守着那个神奇的.树根,等着奇迹再次出现。
人们后来就常用“守株待兔”这个成语来形容那些老梦想着不耕种就会有收获的人。

The Role of Mobile Phone in People's Communication
The popularity of smartphones has exerted great influence on the way people communicate, so much so that an increasing number of individuals contend that face-to-face communication is being replaced by texts and images on the mobile phone.
There are more than one angle to consider this phenomenon. On one hand, it is pleasantly acknowledged that smartphones shorten the distance between families and friends. Even people from different sides of the globe can share pictures, feelings and thoughts through various types of apps on the phone, thus building a long-distance connection. On the other hand, as the picture warns us, too much smartphone addiction interferes with people's real-life communication. Statistics show that over 70 percent of face-to-face communication consists of facial expressions and body language, which is why people should stay away from mobile phones when they have the chance to actually talk and communicate with others.
In a word, mobile phones act as an appropriate platform where people can always stay in tough however long the distance is, but a wise man should know when to put down his phone.
Wolf, meeting with a Lamb astray from the fold, resolved not to lay violent hands on him, but to find some plea, which should justify to the Lamb himself his right to eat him. He thus addressed him:"Sirrah, last year you grossly insulted me." "Indeed," bleated the Lamb in a mournful tone of voice, "I was not then born." Then said the Wolf, "You feed in my pasture."
"No, good sir," replied the Lamb, "I have not yet tasted grass." Again said the Wolf, "You drink of my well." "No," exclaimed the Lamb, "I never yet drank water, for as yet my mother′s milk is both food and drink to me." On which the Wolf seized him, and ate him up, saying, "Well! I won′t remain supperless, even though you refute every one of my imputations."The tyrant will always find a pretext for his tyranny.
狼和小羊
一只狼瞧见一只迷路失群的小羊,决定暂缓下毒手,想先找一些理由,对小羊证明自己有吃它的权利。它就说:「小鬼!你去年曾经骂过我。」小羊可怜地说:「老实说,我去年还没有出生呢。」狼再说:「你在我的草地上吃过草。」
小羊回答说:「不,好先生,我还未曾尝过草的味道呢。」狼又说:「你喝过我井里的.水。」小羊叫道:「不,我从没有喝过水,因为直到今天为止,我都是吃着母亲的奶汁。」狼一听这话,便抓住它,把它吃下去,便说:「好!即使你驳倒我每一句话,我终究要吃晚餐的!」暴君总有他暴行的借口。
望天树与铁刀木都生长在云南热带雨林。
望天树高极了,你要抬头看它,帽子准会掉到地上。它高得连灵敏的测高器也无法测量,测了上部顾不到下部,远远望去,像一个傲然屹立的巨人。
铁刀木矮极了,谁也没有注意过它。它长了一年又一年,身高却一直在一米以下。它在望天树的对面,相比之下,简直成了侏儒。
望天树用枝条抚摸着云彩,嘲笑铁刀木:“可怜的铁刀木啊,你只配到小人国里去生活。”铁刀木不卑不亢地说:“你是比我高得多,可是我的生命力却要比你强。”“什么?什么?”望天树怒视着它,气得大声喊叫起来:“天大的笑话!我这么高这么壮,生命力难道还比不过你这个矮子?”
杂技团里一只会表演杂技的虎给它的同胞弟弟写了一封信,说:“杂技团里的生活舒服极了。一天三餐,都吃的是最好最好的瘦猪肉和瘦牛肉。这些肉都经过炊事员的精心挑选,不带一点肥,不带一点筋,也不带一点骨头。隔几天,还有活鸡活兔换换口味。至于喝的.,不是牛奶,就是鸡蛋花儿汤,全都送到面前,不担心风吹,不担心雨淋,更用不着累得气喘吁吁地去追赶猎物。在这儿过日子,真如同进了天堂一样。好兄弟,快来吧!我劝你也来享受享受天堂的生活。”
虎弟接到信以后,十分向往,决定到城里去看一看。
老虎进城,不用说是很危险的。虎弟摇身一变,变成了一个壮壮实实的小伙子。它来到马戏团,见门口一个大牌子上面挂着许多动物的照片。其中最大的一张,就是它哥哥的。
虎弟买了一张入场券。它迫切地想看看哥哥到底过得怎样快活。
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……
