开平碉楼 英语作文【一】
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.
开平碉楼 英语作文【二】
自力村是各种关于开平碉楼旅游宣传集中推荐的景点。这个位于开平塘口镇的村落，由安和里、合安里和永安里三个自然村组成。“自力”的村名起于上个世纪五十年代，取“自力更生”之意，也算是那个火热年代的产物吧。
当地有句话说：“开平碉楼多，自力是个窝”，意思是说自力村的碉楼很集中。到了那里一看果不其然，这个只有六十来户人家的小村子，就保留了十五座碉楼和居庐。开平的碉楼有一个特点，每座楼的顶部都镌刻着大大的楼名，有的叫“X X 楼（庐）”，有的叫“X X居庐”。其实二者是有一些区别的。碉楼的楼身高大，一般都在四五层以上，但每层面积较为小，墙体十分厚实，门窗都有铁板保护，所以防护性更强；居庐楼体比较宽大，楼层没有那么高，内部格局更像是别墅式民居，居住的舒适性更好。但是这种区分也不是绝对的，两个特点都具备的建筑也有不少。碉楼和居庐在建筑材料和建筑风格上都是偏向于中西合璧的，特别是顶部造型更是各有千秋，多姿多彩。
凭栏眺望，自力村全景尽收眼底。平缓开阔的田野中，众多的碉楼居庐拔地而起。芭蕉竹林，清水荷塘，稻田草地，和西式城堡碉楼相映成趣，勾画出岭南侨乡独有的韵味。
