田鼠与家鼠是好朋友,家鼠应田鼠所约,去乡下赴宴。他一边吃着大麦与谷子,一边对田鼠说:“朋友,你知道,你这是过着蚂蚁一般的生活,我那里有很多好东西,去与我一起享受吧!”田鼠跟随家鼠来到城里,家鼠给田鼠看豆子和谷子,还有红枣、干酪、蜂蜜、果子。田鼠看得目瞪口呆,大为惊讶,称赞不已,并悲叹自己的命运。他们正要开始吃,有人打开了门,胆小的家鼠一听声响,害怕得赶紧钻进了鼠洞。当家鼠再想拿干酪时,有人又进屋里拿什么东西。他一见到有人,立刻又钻回了洞里。这时,田鼠也顾不上饥饿,颤颤惊惊地对家鼠说:“朋友,再见吧!你自己尽情地去吃,担惊受怕地享受这些好吃的东西吧。可怜的我还是去啃那些大麦和谷子,平平安安地去过你看不起的普通生活。”
这故事说明,人们宁愿过简单平稳的生活,而不愿享受那充满恐怖的欢乐生活。
有个放羊娃赶着他的羊群到村外很远的地方去放牧。他老是喜欢说谎,开玩笑,时常大声向村里人呼救,谎称有狼来袭击他的羊群。开始两三回,村里人都惊慌得立刻跑来,被他嘲笑后,没趣地走了回去。后来,有一天,狼真的来了,窜入羊群,大肆咬。牧羊娃对着村里拼命呼喊救命,村里人却认为他又在像往常一样说谎,开玩笑,没有人再理他。结果,他的羊群全被狼吃掉了。
这故事说明,那些常常说谎话的人,即使再说真话也无人相信。
一头牛到水潭边去喝水,踩着了一群小蛙,并踩了其中一只。小蛙妈妈回来后,见到少了一个儿子,便问他的兄弟们,他到哪里去了。一只小蛙说:“亲爱的妈妈,他了。刚才有一头巨大的四足兽来到潭边,用他的.蹄子踩了我们的兄弟。”蛙妈妈一边尽力鼓气,一边问道:“那野兽是不是这个样子,这般大小呢?”小蛙说:“妈妈,您别再鼓气了。我想您不可能和那怪物一样大小,再鼓气就会把肚子胀破。”
这是说,渺小无论如何也不能与伟大相比。
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.
宙斯想要为鸟类立一个王,指定一个日期,要求众鸟全都按时出席,以便选他们之中最美丽的为王。众鸟都跑到河里去梳洗打扮。寒鸦知道自己没一处漂亮,便来到河边,捡起众鸟脱落下的羽毛,小心翼翼地全插在自己身上,再用胶粘住。指定的日期到了,所有的鸟都一齐来到宙斯面前。宙斯一眼就看见花花绿绿的寒鸦,在众鸟之中显得格外漂亮,准备立他为王。众鸟十分气愤,纷纷从寒鸦身上拔下本属于自己的羽毛。于是,寒鸦身上美丽的羽毛一下全没了,又变成了一只丑陋的寒鸦了。
这故事是说,借助别人的东西可以得到美的假象,但那本不属于自己的东西被剥离时,就会原形毕露。
传说,从前有个人与一个森林之神萨堤罗斯交朋友。冬天到了,天气变得十分寒冷,那人把手放到嘴边不断地呵起热气来。森林之神忙问这是什么原因,为什么要这样做。那人回答说:“天寒手冷,呵热气手可变暖和些。”后来,他们同桌一起吃饭,桌上的饭菜热气腾腾,烫得很,那人夹起一点放到嘴边。森林之神又问他这是为何。他说饭菜太烫,把它吹凉。森林之神对人说道:“喂,朋友!我只好同你绝交了,因为你这嘴能一会儿出热气,一会儿又出冷气。”
这故事是说,切不可与那些反复无常的人交朋友。
饥饿的狐狸看见葡萄架上挂着一串串晶莹剔透的葡萄,口水直流,想要摘下来吃,但又摘不到。看了一会儿,无可奈何地走了,他边走边自己安慰自己说:“这葡萄没有熟,肯定是酸的。”
这就是说,有些人能力小,做不成事,就借口说时机未成熟。
狗叼着肉渡过一条河。他看见水中自己的倒影,还以为是另一条狗叼着一块更大的肉。想到这里,他决定要去抢那块更大的肉。于是,他扑到水中抢那块更大的。结果,他两块肉都没得到,水中那块本来就不存在,原有那块又被河水冲走了。
这故事适用于贪婪的人。
