Dear Zhang Hong,
How is everything with you I hope things are going well.
There is not much news here.I just go to work every morning and come back to my apartment every night.Shanghai is crowded with people,but I don't really know any of them.I don't like the city,but my job is quite interesting,and the pay is quite good.

Li Hua
作为当今最有影响力之一的语言学理论,功能语法以社会学为导向,着重语言的功能性研究。其创始人韩礼德从儿童和成人的语言学习角度将语言功能高度理论化。根据韩的观点,儿童所使用的最原始的语言能够被简概为一套高度编码且抽象的功能,其中包含三个元功能(纯理功能):概念功能(ideational function),人际功能(interpersonal function)以及语篇功能(textualfunction)[1]。概念功能进一步被细化为和逻辑功能,表述在我们周围及自身所发生的事情,称之为“内容(content)”。概念功能通过及物性(transitivity)来实现,及物性由六个过程组成,即物质过程,心理过程,关系过程,行为过程,言语过程和存在过程。
功能语法把用来表达一系列概念意义,抽象和具体的外部世界,以及人的意识过程的结构单位叫做小句(clause),即句子或类似句子结构的统称。一个小句包含三个功能成份:过程(process),参与者(participant),和环境(circumstantials)。其中主要成份过程代表事件或状态,参与者即从时间,地点,方式等各个层面参与的人或事功能语法,而具体的参与者功能取决于过程类型。语言的及物性和作格性能够帮助将过程进行归类,及物性把经验世界看作是一套可控的过程模式。简而言之,及物性是与概念元功能相一致的小句语法,及物性分析能够定义不同的过程类型并由此决定过程的参与者,从而明确过程与参与者之间的逻辑关系[2]。
在韩提出的六个过程中,物质,心理和关系过程是最主要的。他们作为经验理论,是语法的奠基石,呈现三种截然不同的结构,是篇章中所有小句的主体。同时,韩提出了一个假设,这三个过程在整个语言中的分布频率大致平衡。然而,他自己也承认,此理论未经证实[3]。韩礼德用来阐释六个过程的小句皆为简短且相互独立无关联的句子,而此后的相关过程模式研究也仅仅探究了口头语篇或主观自创的例句cssci期刊目录。
2.1. 物质过程(Material Process)
通俗来说,物质过程即为“做”的'过程,是外部经验的再现,也是某事被完成的过程。物质过程一般由行为动词,动作者(Actor)和目标(Goal)组成。动作者是行为的发出者,如句子 “She cooks for the children on the stove”中的“she”。而目标含指向性,表示某行为或动作的承受者,如“onetuner and handle 1,000 pianos a year”中的“1000 pianos”。值得注意的是,物质过程并非纯指具体的物理动作,它也可是抽象的,如句子 “ he learned fast”.
2.2 心理过程(Mental Process)
心理过程表达的是人所感,所想,所思等心理活动的过程,一般有两个参与者,一个是心理活动的感觉主体即“感觉者”(senser),另一个是被感知的客体即“现象”(phenomenon)。与物质过程不同的是,心理过程的参与者之一是可感觉,反应和认知的人,如“Tom dislikes her ‘special’ pumpkin pie intensely”中的“Tom”。通过修辞手法被赋予意识和感知功能的物也可作为 “感觉者”,如“it”在句子“it (money) pleasured grandpa to put a few golden Indian heads onhis vest”中的作用。
2.3 关系过程(Relational Process)
关系过程表达的是“是”的关系,即具有某种联系的物,人,情形或事件之间的关系,或指某一物的属性,特点或所处状态等,大致可分为两种模式:修饰型(attributive)和认同型(identifying)。修饰型包含两个参与者,载体(carrier)即含有某种属性的实体,属性(attribute),即对载体的限定功能语法,在例句“one of the wise Men was educational in the highestsense...”中,“one of the wise Men”是载体,“educational”是属性。认同型则包含被认同者(identified)和认同者(identifier),如“The shcoolhouse is a two-room frame buiding”,“the schoolhouse”是被认同者,“a two-room frame building”是认同者。
2.4 行为过程(Behavioral Process)
行为过程指的是各种生理或心理行为,如呼吸,咳嗽,微笑,哭泣,做梦等。行为过程只有一个参与者,通常为人的行为者(behaver),例如“in thecountry he sleeps better at night”,“the pupilssit still at their desks in class”。某些情况下,行为过程与物质和心理过程的界限并不明显,因为行为者作为意识体与感觉者非常相似,而行为者发出的动作类似于物质过程中的“做”。
2.5 言语过程(Verbal Process)
言语过程是通过语言交换信息的过程,广义上来说就是“说”的过程,通常用到的动词有say,tell,talk,praise,describe等,如“he may proclaim his ownvirtue or skill”。言语过程的主要参与者有说话者(sayer),听话者(receiver),以及言语内容(verbiage)。 说话者可以是任何能表达某种信息的物体,并不一定要求具有意识性,如 “the book tells of one soldier who survived”。
2.6 存在过程(Existential Process)
存在过程表达的是某物或人存在的情况,通常只有一个参与者,即存在物(existent)。典型的存在过程如“thereis no supervised play”,或含表存在的动词,exist,remain,come about,happen等等。
Last night, I read an American inspirational article "when happiness knocks on the door", I feel a lot. Each of us has experienced some hardships before we know what happiness is. Chris experienced the most difficult stage in his life. From the step by step to the final success of the ordeal. The film also became popular applause of the American inspirational article. Perhaps inspirational articles have a common plot, all is the master, through the rough life course, finally to success. But if thats not the case, can it be inspirational?
When happiness knocks on the door, Chris. Gardiner represented a medical device, his main job is to do the work of medical device salesman, every day is carrying a scanner shuttle in the street, around to sell. Sales promotion is not so smooth. He goes out every day, but he comes home with money every day. He has a wife and a son. His wife works for 16 hours a day in a factory. He lives in poverty, and is often subject to various economic pressures, such as rent, car fines, taxes, etc..
Chris had a chance to see a group of stockbrokers working very happily, and he was determined to become a stockbroker. But he has only a high school diploma and has no experience, even if he makes an application. So he took the initiative to go to the examiner, hoping to achieve his wish. And it was his effort to make it happen. He got the chance to interview. He didnt get any income after the interview. The wife watched him unable to get out of the trouble and left him. It was another test for him. He decided to live alone with his son. At this point, he had no income during the 6 months practice of the stockbroker company. He could only take his son to the shelter when he was in a desperate situation. Despite this frustration, one after another, the difficulties ensued, and he never gave up. His belief in success and happiness remained unchanged. With this dedication, he worked hard, every effort to seize every opportunity, sincere treatment of his customers, and finally he ushered in the dawn of happiness.
The most impressive part of the movie is running. There are a lot of running scenes. Chris was running when he saw the stolen instrument; he was running to pay for the taxi fare; he was running for the interview; he was queuing in order to go to the hospice. Running in our lives is also possible, in order to squeeze into the bus, in order to quickly arrive at a certain place. And when Chris was running for his life, we thought of more bitterness and his effort to live. The film is the use of such a run of the subjective action, showing peoples most tenacious ability to survive and never yield spirit. We will also encounter difficulties, setbacks, whether we can correctly treat, and whether we are in the face of all this, can calmly think of ways, can take the initiative to beat the difficulties? If we can, we are the strong person in life.
The film left me with one of the deepest impression is Chriss tears. When he and his son were evicted from rental housing, he led his son to find a place to live. His friend refused him. So they came to the subway station. He came up with a story to coax his son to accept the difficulties he faced. So they went into a public lavatory and spent a night in the sound of a barrage of crashing sounds. Chris cried. He didnt cry for such difficulties. But let his son suffer with him, make him feel sorry for his son. This point of view is that he is a kind and respectable father. Treat his son, his affection is so strong and deep. Another scenario is that he was hired as the official broker, he cried, wanted to share this happy moment of the man is his son with him, can feel how much he loved his son.
We see these scenes can not help tears trickling down cheeks. A touching scene, from a subtle point can feel the power, we lack is such a force. We want to succeed, we want to become brave, and we face difficulties and setbacks, we also indomitable will and faith to support it? So, when it comes, we dont panic anymore. Because we think the world is nothing to fear. The terrible thing is that you believe in what you can do if you believe in what you want and what you will do.

he cold or the movie that kept me tossing and turning in bed, but one thing is certain: many scattered fragments of the movie again and again flashed in my mind. My cell phone read 4:16 am at that time, but I was not sleepy at all. So I decided to get up and write something.
"The Pursuit of Happyness" -- the title comes from a misspelled schoolhouse mural -- has a lot on its mind but mostly this: If America is about the promise of bettering oneself, why does it have to be so freaking hard? In the movie, Jeffersons Declaration of Independence words about happiness kept recurring to Chris Gardner. Every day, Christ had to work hard from morning till night, but still could hardly make a living. Chris saw a bunch of suits, mostly male, pouring out of the Dean Witter Reynolds brokerage firm in downtown San Francisco. They all looked “happy,” “Why not me? “ Christ wondered. He did have an adorable boy, Christopher, but wife Linda was becoming a scarecrow of overworked anxiety. Finally, his wife left Christ because of life pressure, leaving him and her five-year-old son, Christopher. And naturally, Christ became a single father.
With the failure of his business, Christ had no money to pay for the rent, so they were driven away from the flat. They became homeless. They slept in asylum, subway station public bathroom or anywhere as a temporary shelter. The destitution of life was absolutely depressing, but for his son’s future, for his own belief, Christ never gave up and he still strongly believed that happiness would come one day if he worked hard enough today.
With his great efforts, Christ won a six-month internship at Dean Witter, but there was no pay at all. So on one hand, Christ had to work hard to make a living; on the other hand, he had to fight for his intern work, since only one of the twenty interns would succeed finally. Besides, he had to take good care of his son after day care. However, Christ made it with his amazing willpower.
Christ was unfortunate, for he got a wife who was not understandable at all (though she has her own difficulties and was in bad luck with his business. But he was very fortunate also, for he got a son who was very thoughtful and, I think, tough life experiences always make a great person.
It is said that this movie is inspired by a true story, and I want to say, this movie does inspire me a lot. What impressed me most are: Christ’s wife left him because of life pressure; Christ’s love to his son and Christ’s strong belief towards life. Through these, I know that it is not easy to be a good husband and a good Papa, since in reality, only love cannot only make everything. And I also learn that one has to strongly believe in himself, no matter how difficult the situation is, but of course, hard-working is indispensable.
I like to watch The Pursuitof Happyness.
From Gardner, who realized that what I do is the real men and how to do good is the real father.
Christopher was from, I feel the childs innocence and ignorance, how is the good son.
You gotta dream, you gotta protect it. If you have a dream, you theprotection on it.
This is a great father to his sons care and education Christopher In many cases, we would like to see a movie may be silly to pass the time,saying that some of the good, or it may be trained to listen to hearing English spoken. This inspirational film, I look at it with the problem. What I can learn.
From despair to find hope Out of society, have no choice but to work hard, as long as solely, nothing is insurmountable unless heaven or hell.
Christophers cute in his ignorance and innocence which Christopher has always been the man could in his father through thick and thin,no complaints. Im impressed the most is his father said to him "I trust you",
I think this is that they are able to Gardner in countless ting in front of the biggest setbacks from the powerand reason.
