文化面面觀
1. Mansfield Park《曼斯菲爾德莊園》
在這個(gè)片段中他們談到了Jane Austen的三部小說：Mansfield Park《曼斯菲爾德莊園》，Persuasion《勸導(dǎo)》，Pride and Prejudice《傲慢與偏見》。電影中，他們這次聚會(huì)討論的小說是Mansfield Park《曼斯菲爾德莊園》。
Mansfield Park is a novel by Jane Austen, written at Chawton Cottage between 1812 and 1814. It was published in July 1814 by Thomas Egerton.
The main character, Fanny Price, is a young girl from a poor family, raised by her rich uncle and aunt, Sir Thomas and Lady Bertram, at Mansfield Park. She grows up with her four cousins, Tom, Edmund, Maria and Julia, but is always treated as inferior to them; only Edmund shows her real kindness. He is also the most virtuous of the siblings: Maria and Julia are vain and spoiled, while Tom is an irresponsible gambler. Over time, Fanny's gratitude for Edmund's kindness secretly grows into love.
雖然受到二表哥埃德蒙以外的眾人的冷落，但她始終“有一顆溫柔親切的心，想要表現(xiàn)得體的強(qiáng)烈愿望”。尤其難能可貴的是，她始終能明辨是非，知人知心。大表哥湯姆等人要在家里排演有傷風(fēng)化的情節(jié)劇，家里只有她一人加以反對(duì)和抵制。她早就看清了克勞福德兄妹的自私和輕浮，因而當(dāng)克勞福德死死糾纏她時(shí)，她絲毫不為其所動(dòng)，始終不渝地暗戀著埃德蒙；當(dāng)克勞福德小姐對(duì)埃德蒙“舊情復(fù)發(fā)”的時(shí)候，她告誡表哥不要上她的當(dāng)。最后，她的高尚人品贏得了托馬斯爵士的器重，也贏得了埃德蒙的愛，兩位年輕人終于結(jié)成伉儷。范妮可以說是書中的道德楷模。
2. Horton Hatches the Egg 《霍頓孵蛋》
Horton Hatches the Egg is a book by Dr. Seuss, first published in 1940.
The book concerns Horton (an elephant) convinced by an irresponsible bird named Mayzie into sitting on her egg while she takes a break--which proves to last for months. Of course, the absurd sight of an elephant sitting atop a tree makes quite a scene.
Horton is laughed at by his jungle friends, exposed to the elements, captured by hunters, forced to endure a terrible sea voyage, and finally placed in a traveling circus. All through the ordeal Horton repeats this refrain:
I meant what I said, and I said what I meant:
An elephant's faithful one hundred percent.
Mayzie finds Horton at the circus just in time to see her egg hatch. She demands the egg back, but is denied it by Horton and onlookers when it hatches into a tiny winged elephant.
The moral of the story is "be responsible, even when it's difficult." This moral is established in several ways. First, Mayzie's demonstrated irresponsibility in leaving her egg for someone else to watch leads to her losing the implied benefit of her egg- a baby Mayzie. Second, Horton's demonstrated responsibility in keeping his promise to Mayzie by staying with the egg, even when it's hard to do so, gives him the benefit of a baby Horton hatching from the egg. Finally, the elephant's ability to stay true and steadfast despite all manner of disasters carries a traditional spiritual message: he is faithful, not only to his external obligations, but to his inner self as well.
