经典英文小说赏析:天堂还是地狱 After a person died, he went to a beautiful place. The person at the gate looked at his ID card and thenbrought him to a very beautiful villa with lakes, flowers and everything surrounding it, a big garden,birds singing, dogs barking, ducks quacking. Everything was perfect. After a while, someone else took him to another place so that he could have more enjoyment with delicacies like cakes, candies, blessed food, and all the beautiful international cooking for him to sample. After that, they took him out to maybe a night club, so that he could see the dancing or dance himself. After a while, they took him to another place for just enjoyment -- listening to music, watching theater,and things like that. Many days went by and on and on like this -- always eating, sleeping, making merry, and nothing else. So the man began to feel a little bit "itchy". He said, "Well, can you give me some work to do? I'd like to do something." The attendant was very sad and said, "I am sorry. We have no work for you here. With this I cannot help you." So the man said, "My God! If I have nothing to do, this could be like in hell." So the attendant said. "Where do you think you are now?" 有个人死后,去到一个很漂亮的地方,然后有人在大门口看看他的证件,带他到一间很漂亮的别墅,有湖泊环绕,花团锦簇,还有个大花园,鸟儿啾啾叫,小狗汪汪叫,鸭子嘎嘎叫,一切都很完美。 过一会儿,又有人带他到另一个地方,让他饱享美食佳肴像糕点、糖果、等等,所有各国好吃的菜肴都让他品尝。 然后又带他到另一个地方,也许是夜总会,他可以看人跳舞或自己跳舞。 过一会儿,又带他去另一个地方做别的事,光是享乐而已,听音乐或看电影之类。许多日子都像这样的消磨度过,总是吃、睡、玩乐而已。 所以,那个人开始觉得有点「痒痒」的,他说:“可以给我一些工作做吗?我想做点事。” 然而随从却很抱歉地说:“抱歉!我们这里没工作给你,这个我帮不上忙。”那个人说:“老天,没事做,那不是像在地狱一样吗?” 侍者说:“不然你以为在哪儿啊!?” 更多信息请访问:考试大外语站点 考试大外语论坛 转贴于:经典译文考试_考试大【责编:lq 纠错】The Impressive Features of Forrest GumpForrest Gump is one of the most charming films of recent times. Though it is a comedy, it isn’t only for fun. Its humour and symbols are quite complicated. From the film audiences can see Gump’s life philosophies, American social problems and national characteristics. The use of symbols and motifs in this film are very excellent. My favourite symbol is the feather, which had drifted for a long time finally it landed beside Gump’s feet, and he picked it up. The motif of the feather represents Gump’s willingness to be blown around by the winds of fate and history. And I think the box of chocolates that Gump intends to give Jenney is known by everybody who loves films. Gump says that his mother always told him, “Life is like a box of chocolates—you never know what you are going to get.” The chocolates just represent life. Since the chocolates remind Gump of his mother and they are a gift for Jenny, they also represent his love of these two women. Maybe because of the meaning of the chocolates many film fans would like to choose the words said by Gump’s mother as their motto. Through the contrast of Gump and Jenny we can see two different kinds of life styles. These are the two kinds of Americans life styles. Like many Americans, Gump is the optimistic side but he gets his fortune without know his harm to others. Like the other Americans, Jenny’s life is a mess she lives with drugs abuse and caught AIDS. Through Gump’s experiences audiences can learn about some social problems in America, such as segregation, Vietnam. Gump always can be the center of many great events of recent American history. Gump has a charming character. Though he affected by mental disability he is a credible person. His innocent made him loved by audiences. When Lieutenant Dan loses his legs and said “I was Lieutenant Dan.” Gump said “You still Lieutenant Dan.” He always has powers and passions to face every new day. To Bubba and Lieutenant Dan, he gives them his real friendship. For Jenny, he pays his deep Groom give us a good story, Robert Zemeckis give us a good film. I love this film, because of its humour and its deep meaning. Forrest Gump is a memorable comedy, it is far more complicated than I have analyzed. Since it is complicated the critics are divided. This film has produced a series of culture about “Gump”, such as “Gumpish” “Gumpnized”. The writer and the editor can be teachers to the audiences to a degree. This film can let people think more about the life styles of themselves. It made me treasure love and the beauties in my life. After all it is a great film for me to appreciate.
