love Means Putting The Other One First

As a teenager I had certain ideas in my mind that constituted the idyllic life of love and marriage.In Home Economics, our teacher had us plan the perfect wedding and the perfect reception, right down to the throwing of rice and driving away in a limousine.It was just like the movies where the nice guy gets the beautiful girl and they live happily ever after.Reality was not a part of the picture.?After high school, I went to college and was determined to ome a nurse.I forgot about marriage.I could put that on hold since I was going to help people and travel.Surprisingly, two years later I met the man I would marry.It's often said, “ opposites attract.” This was really true about us.?He was from a small town in Idaho and farmed with his father.I was from a Southern town, which had a ater population than the entire state of Idaho.I had always been emphatic that I didn't know whom I would marry, but one thing was for sure--he would not be a farmer or dairyman!Well, I was wrong in both cases.They were not only farmers but dairymen as well.?We were married in October just prior to the beginning of heavy snowfalls.It would snow heavily throughout the whole winter.Our only entertainment was listening to the radio or the local high school sporting events.My new husband was a

lover of sports.He had been a champion boxer and also participated in most sports.I was a lover of the arts.Speech, drama and dance were my first love.The nearest town with this kind of entertainment was forty miles away and the highway was closed off and on1 all winter.?We had only been married seven months when I received word that my mother, who was battling cancer, would not live much longer.Even though there was the dairy with 75 cows and 1400 acres to farm, as soon as my husband read the telegram, he sadly said, “ Honey, get your bags packed while I make reservations for you.Your place is with your mother and your father right now.” To him there had been no other decision to make.Every week I would receive a letter telling me all about how the farm was doing and inquiring about my parents and how we were all doing.Little was said about his sadness of being alone, or of missing his new bride, except at the very end of his letters where an unmistakable “ I love you” was written.Teenage dream letters

would have been filled with remarks of undying love and pain of missing me, but his letters were simple words of reality.?Four months later, after the funeral and final matters were taken care of with my father and brother, I returned to Idaho where I knew my husband would be at the airport to meet me.?The look in his eyes told me more than any dream letter could.The joy and honesty of love was deep.On the 80-mile drive to our home, I talked incessantly while he quietly listened, without interrupting.When he finally had a chance to respond, he asked me to open the glove compartment of the car and take out an envelope with my name on it.“ I wanted to give you something special to let you know how much I missed you,” he said quietly.?I opened the envelope to find season tickets, for both of us, to all of the area's fine art functions.Our income was not all that at and I was stunned.“ I don't believe this,” I cried.“ You don't enjoy these things!”

?When I finally stopped protesting, he reached out, hugged me and quietly said, “ No, but you do, and I will learn.” In that moment I realized marriage wasn't 50/50, but real love was made of 100/0 sometimes.Love means putting the other one

first.His example taught his young wife a at lesson--a lesson that has made a happy marriage for 51 years.还是十几岁的少女时，我脑子里对爱情与婚姻所想像的是情画意般的生活。在家政学课上，老师让我们设计理想的婚礼、理想的婚庆招待会，一直到撒大米、新郎新娘开着豪华轿车缓缓离去。这就像中俊男靓女终成眷属，他们从此幸福地生活在一起。但现实可不是如此。

?后，我上了大学，立志要做一名护士。我把婚姻抛在了脑后。我暂不考虑结婚，因为我要帮助他人，我要周游四方。令人惊奇的是，两年后我遇到了我要嫁的男人。常常有人说，“对立物互相吸引。”我们俩就是这么回事。

?他爱达荷州的一个小镇，和他父亲一起经营农场。我南方的一个城镇，那里的人口比整个爱达荷州的总人口都多。我一直都是态 度坚决地表明我不知道要嫁给什么样的男人，但有一点是肯定无疑的--他不会是务农的或养乳牛的！但是结果我都错了。我遇到的这个男人和 他父亲既耕作也养牛。

?我们在10月结了婚，就在大雪迫近之际。大雪会下一冬天。我们惟一的娱乐就是听收音机或观看当地比赛。我新婚的丈夫是个体 育爱好者。他曾是拳击

冠军，也参加过很多种活动。而我是个艺术迷。、戏剧、舞蹈是我的挚爱。有这类艺术活动的城镇，最近的离 我们也有40英里，而高速公路在整个冬天是时而封闭时而开放的。

?在我们结婚仅7个月的时候，我得到消息：我母亲在与癌症作抗争，恐怕活不了多久了。尽管有75头牛和1400亩地要照顾，但我丈夫读完电 报就悲伤地说：“亲爱的，我去给你订票，你收拾好行李。你现在是该和你父母在一起。”对于他来说没有什么别的决定可作。每周我会收到他 的来信，告诉我农场的情况，并询问我父母如何，我们全家人怎么样。他很少流露他孤独一人的悲伤，或他如何思念他的新婚妻子，只是在每 封信的结尾都清楚无误地写了“我爱你”。我十几岁时想像的梦中情书应该满纸都是诉说永恒的爱和思念我的痛苦，但是我丈夫的信就是简简单 单描述现实生活的几行字。4个月后，举行完葬礼，在和我父亲与兄弟一同落实了最后事宜之后，我返回爱达荷州。我知道我丈夫会到机场来 接我。

?他的眼神告诉我的远比任何梦中情书所能写的还要多，充满了深切的爱的喜悦和诚挚。在开车80英里回我们家的路上，我不停地说这说那，而他只是静静地听着，并不打断我的话。当他终于有机会讲话时，他叫我打开汽车仪表板上的储物箱，拿出上面写有我名字的一个信封。“我 想给你一样特别的东西，让你知道我有多么想你，”他平静地说。

?我打开信封，发现里面有不少季节门票，是我们两人的，是去参加该地区所有艺术活动的门票。我们的收入还没到那个水平，我真是惊呆 了。“我不相信，”我哭着说，“你并不喜欢这些东西！” ?当我终于停止抗议时，他伸出臂膀，将我搂抱在怀，静静地说：“是的，但是你喜欢，而我可以学。”

在那一刻，我领悟到婚姻不是50对50，真正的爱有时是100对0。爱意味着把对方放在首位。他用实例给他年轻的妻子上了深刻的一课，这一课促成了51年的幸福婚姻。

第四篇：美丽新世界英文书评

A Book Review On Brave New World When reading the introductory passage about this book before starting it formally,the year of 1932 attracts my attention.As we all know,there was so much turmoil in Europe in the year of 1931,severe social problem ,such as depressing economy,high unemployment rate,the unrest of government,made the whole Europe a horrible place.In such a circumstance,it was spontaneous for people to dream for a better world and just judging from the name it’s quite easy to consider the book as a picture of an ideal world.However,as it is Brave New World is substantially not a brave world,but a even more horrible world.In that world,material civilization is in high level and everything is automated.No one would ever worry about what to eat and wear;everyone is enjoying the most comfortable life.Seemed like a wonderful world,its true appearance can be thrilling.In that world, Economic prosperity and personal enjoy will become the only philosophy idea ,in the meantime ,the only religion of the whole society.One of the biggest characteristics of that new world is unstable factors ranging from international warfare to personal illness that may influence the material production are all destroyed.For instance, soma,a kind of drug just like today’s narcotic drugs ,is used widely.Here are several sentences from the book about soma.“Glum, Marx, glum.What you need is a gramme of soma.””All the advantages of Christianity and alcohol;none of their defects.“"One cubic centimetre cures ten gloomy sentiments.”(from Chapter 3)It’s clear that people’s emotion is controlled by drugs;almost everything is controlled by drugs.Never regard it as a good thing.On the contrary,it’s terrifying,it means people lost their feelings and have no independent personality.To some extent,it just like turn human beings into machines.Another trait of the world is man is produced rather than be born.In a specific place named Human Incubation Center,following a specific procedure called Bokanovsky's Process,humans are produced by eggs and sperm.As a result ,a man’s fate is actually determined before he is “born” by what conditions the operators provide.Confronted such a crazy world,in spite of many advantages it have,everyone’s choice is likely to be the same with the Savage(Here savages means people comes from places except the brave new world)in the book: “But I don't want comfort.I want God, I want poetry, I want real danger, I want freedom, I want goodness.I want sin.”

“In fact,” said Mustapha Mond, “you're claiming the right to be unhappy.”

“All right then,”said the Savage defiantly,“I'm claiming the nght to be unhappy.”

“Not to mention the right to grow old and ugly and impotent;the right to have syphilis and cancer;the right to have too little to eat;the right to be lousy;the right to live in constant apprehension of what may happen to-morrow;the right to catch typhoid;the right to be tortured by unspeakable pains of every kind.” There was along silence.“I claim them all,”said the Savage at last.However,to my disappointment,the savage finally killed himself in order to purify himself.Before he died,he said”I ate civilization.It poisoned me;I was defiled.And then I ate my own wickedness.”

You may consider nothing in the book makes real sense as the whole book is just the author’s fancy.Nevertheless,yesterday’s imagination is likely to become the reality of tomorrow;that is to say Brave New World is a book foreseeing future.With its unique significance of enlightenment,the book is bound to be taken seriously especially today when modern civilization,both economy and technology,is developing in an amazing rate.In the process of development,it’s never lose our human nature and instinct that should be bared in everyone’s mind.Only in this way can we human create a real brave new world.

第五篇：《美丽心灵》观后感(英文)

A beautiful mind “is the legend of the genius of John Nash Professor, mainly about natural disposition is eccentric Nash refused and students, the surrounding people exchanges, and the all the energy invested in mathematical research, although classmates ridicule and bullying and the tutor's disappointment made him extremely painful and inferiority, but he did not give up the hearts of the ideal, tireless study of mathematics.But because of the research is too deep, leading to the last he suffered from schizophrenia, Nash in love with his wife Alicia's help, tenacious struggle, after efforts he finally overcome this misfortune, and in 1994 won the Nobel prize.The plot development of the film is the same as all the people's life.Two hours of the film, I simply followed the protagonist Nash together with mental illness, think everything is so normal and natural, so that the problem has not been found in the presence of.When doctor Luo said Nash paranoid and coerce him into the car，I do not believe this thing, and are deeply sympathetic to Nash, because I think it must be the doctor wrong judgment, Nash is thought to be psychiatric just because he was doing underground work, he indulged in password cracking is for the safety of the country and the people.And that roommate was a man who betrayed him.Until his wife to find Nash put in the abandoned building in the mailbox all Kaifeng so-called encrypted messages and Nash digging arm trying to find into the plumbing and not after, I was sure of his disease.I can only understand thoroughly admiration screenwriter of character, his intellect cheated us these audience sharp eyes.After watching the film, I also recognize a little: do not care about the views of others.The disappointment and frustration of the instructor did not cause Nash to lose confidence in his career, and eventually he studied the great balance theory;and he was not afraid of the ridicule and

rehabilitation of others, his own will power and his wife's love and support to his friends.In 1994, Nash got the pen of university teachers in Princeton, representing the people of his life achievement of affirmation and appreciation, and in that year, he won the Nobel prize in speech, in his speech, he said: “I’ve always believed in numbers and the equations and logics that lead to reason.But after a lifetime of such pursuits, I ask, ”What truly is logic? Who decides reason?" My quest has taken me through the physical, the metaphysical, the delusional--and back.And I have made the most important discovery of my career, the most important discovery of my life: It is only in the mysterious equations of love that any logic or reasons can be found.I'm only here tonight because of you.You are the reason I am.You are all my reasons.“These words, perhaps, is the best generalization of his life.Nash's life is rough, there is pain and happiness and success, but he is suffering, and

after the success of the hard work, I think, this kind of life is what I should pursue, because only this life is a complete life.
