Long, long ago, there were two brothers, the one rich and the other poor. When Christmas Eve came, the poor one had not a bite in the house, either of meat or bread; so he went to his brother, and begged him, in God's name, to give him something for Christmas Day. It was by no means the first time that the brother had been forced to give something to him, and he was not better pleased at being asked now than he generally was.
"If you will do what I ask you, you shall have a whole ham," said he. The poor one immediately thanked him, and promised this.
"Well, here is the ham, and now you must go straight to Dead Man's Hall," said the rich brother, throwing the ham to him.
"Well, I will do what I have promised," said the other, and he took the ham and set off. He went on and on for the livelong day, and at nightfall he came to a place where there was a bright light.
"I have no doubt this is the place," thought the man with the ham.
An old man with a long white beard was standing in the outhouse, chopping Yule logs.
"Good-evening," said the man with the ham.
"Good-evening to you. Where are you going at this late hour?" said the man.
"I am going to Dead Man's Hall, if only I am on the right track," answered the poor man.
"Oh! yes, you are right enough, for it is here," said the old man. "When you get inside they will all want to buy your ham, for they don't get much meat to eat there; but you must not sell it unless you can get the hand-mill which stands behind the door for it. When you come out again I will teach you how to stop the hand-mill, which is useful for almost everything."
So the man with the ham thanked the other for his good advice, and rapped at the door.

Nowadays, advertisements can be found everywhere in big cities. They shout at us from the television screen and radio loudspeakers, wave to us from every page of the newspaper, signal to us from the roadside billboards all day and flash messages to us in colored lights all night.
Faced with a flood of advertisement, some people wonder whether it is necessary to have such huge sums spent on advertising. They often cite in illustration of it the attractive, but false and deceptive advertisements to which many consumers fall victim. Why don't we stop advertising and use the money to reduce the price of goods? It sounds like a good idea, but they fail to notice the contribution advertising makes to our society. Because the production of a better product to compete for customers' money is the goal of advertisers, customers are thus given a chance to compare their products and get the best and cheapest one. Besides, as the advertisement can provide people with a lot of immediate and detailed information as to the availability of a certain product, or a service or a job, it makes life much more convenient. And another thing we mustn't forget: the fact that we pay so little for our daily newspapers and TV programs is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers.
Advertising performs such a useful service to our society that we can't imagine what would happen if there were no advertisements. (198 words
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……

迪斯尼于1991年全面收复失地的第一作,虽然剧情还是王子与公主的老套,其中穿插了太多的音乐和歌曲,这都是老迪斯尼的特征,不过我们也看到了迪斯尼开创动画长片大片的模式,在一年之后的《阿拉丁》,我们就看到了新时代的全新的迪斯尼作品。
《美女与野兽》是经典的故事,本片人物形象生动可爱,不足之处在于剧情方面还没有完全放开想象的翅膀。《阿拉丁》就颠覆了传说中的灯怪的的形象,开创了1992年的票房最高纪录。
然而本片由Peabo Bryson和Celine Dion对唱的主题曲已然成为永恒的经典。
Life has its ups and downs, and only true friends always stay around. Like anyone else, I have got many friends. They often help me when I’m in trouble. Especially, when I fail in an examination, they always care for me and encourage me to study harder. Last year, when I was hurt in a basketball game, my friends took me to the nearby hospital at once and look after me by turns. In my eyes, friends are the most precious wealth that one should treasure all his life.
