《我辈孤雏》英文书评.doc

Part 1The story begins with a leisurely afternoon in London where Banks was. The quiet path and the Victorian room arrangement gave a feel of silence and happiness. But when I continued to read it, I realized it was hide the pain of losing parents. One of the most impressive plots is the memory of Banks when he sat in the middle of a magnificence hall with a very young age after lost parents. Although he was discussed and controlled by the bad men, he was patient with them and made efforts to fight them. He showed his determination of finding parents. Its difficult for a child to control dissatisfaction but he did it. However, he was lack of power and he had to take a ship to London, leaving the place that where his parents were. “Look here, we are going to have a lot of fun on that ship, arent we? We are going to have a jolly good time.And you just kept saying:Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Yes, sir.”I can feel the calmness in the middle of loneliness and hopelessness. Maybe from here, his mind changed, and his destiny changed. Another is the scene on the balcony where Banks and Hammings stood, far away the party. Miss Hammings wasnt a lovable role at the beginning. As mostly people, I thought she was a woman who can give up her Self-esteem to cling to power and power, making use of all “useful”people. But by the party at the end of Chapter 3,her real character finally emergeShe wasnt a superficial woman, on the contrary, she had grand dream. She just didnt want“look back at my life when Im old and see something empty.”What she looked for not power and money, but who really has aspirations and skills. Having read Part One, I knew Banks, Osbourne, Hammings, Chamberlain and etc. who have clearly characters. Its absolute a nice work! I believe I will gain more achievement. Part 2This part can be said as a memoir of Banks. First of all, I childhood playmates Yamashita has more descriptions: Banks and Akira play in the garden, debate, what are the differences of opinion, Akira always use capture to make Banks surrender, there is a the status quo in China is worse than rumors as a foreshadowing, clear writing background. The article mentions that Akira is not afraid of adults, but only the mother of Banks, which leads to another important figure - the mother of Banks, who is charming and powerful. The article depicts a scene in which a mother and a bearded health inspector argue at home over the ruling of a company employee, and another foreshadowing appears - opium.Bankss childhood in China was in the dark period of opium erosion, and her mother was a powerful anti-opium fighter. She was afraid of the dark forces, even hostile to her father, and began the cold war, showing her abhorrence of the Opium trade. The article also illustrates what Banks and Hammings saw and heard at the party, and they felt the same sadness about their mothers. Later on, they talked together in the first row of the bus, relieved their worries, and had a little happy time.Banks mother is a major character, the author focuses on her determination, her enthusiasm, her fearlessness of the world, her nobility, in the eyes of small Banks, mother is a mysterious great woman, she can play with Banks carefree, but also with the dark forces firm resistance. I am looking forward to the follow-up story development and the real ending of Bankss parents.Part 31、“I was quite curious to hear about Akiras experiences in Japan, but he persuaded me it would be childish-somehow beneath us-to discuss such matters, and so we made a show of continuing with our old routines as if nothing had ever interrupted them.”This sentence shows that Akira didnt want to refer whats his life like in Japan, so that I guessed he had a hard time there. The reason is Akira lived in Shanghai for a long time that his behavior had been joked by his Japanese mates. It was a nightmare for him even though in his “motherland”.2、”Then as I continued to gaze at him somewhat baffled, he said: Third bad thing. Now, mother and father, they make me go back Japan.” This word provoked just by a small tear on Akiras sleeve of his kimono. Its making a mountain out of a molehill. We can feel that Akira was afraid of going back Japan and his parents desire to go back had lost a gloom in his little heart. Banks felt sympathized dearly.3、”A mutant Ling had taken prematurely from its solution which did not yet fully resemble a spider and could easily be identified as a severed hand.” Thiss a horror description of strange Ling. In the impression of Akira and I, Ling was an old man who can turn severed hands into spiders and it also became courage challenge for them. Maybe every child has a shadow of childhood and it seems interesting for us when we grew up.4、”New game. About Christopher father. If you like. I was taken aback and I do not recall what I said next. He came a few steps closer in the long grass and I saw he was looking at me almost tenderly.” Akira originally felt very angry for Banks breaking the appointment to sand back Lings medicinal water. But he found Banks forwardly and comfort him by his own way. I saw the kindness of Akira and firm friendship between them.Part 41、 Sarah said:Dont they look so handsome together? And theyre so suited. For a moment she gazed at them dreamily.From previous parts, we knew that Sarah is a strong-mind woman who has great ambition. But when she saw the scene of marry ceremony, she looks like a innocent girl. As an orphan, Sarah desire solicitude from other person and a pure love. I think its what the author wanted to show.2、Yes, Yes, I dare say so. But Miss Givens, dont you see? I might have raised my voice at this point. Dont you see how very urgent things have got? The growing turmoil all over the world? I have to go!Under the force of world trend, Banks decided to back to Shanghai to find the truth. At the same time, he also have to faced with Jennifer which girl would miss him dearly. That moment, Banks had a contradictory psychology. But he finally chose confront what he had escaped all the time-back to Shanghai, exploit things about his parents.3、 “When youre at school, sometimes, you forget. Just sometimes. You count the days until the holidays like the other girls do, and then you think you ll see Mother and Papa again. ”Jennifer may be bullied in school because shes an orphan that was different from others. But she just showed the optimistic side and appreciation to Banks. She should have had a happy family, which made this sentence like a arrow hitting on my heart.4、 When I fiddled with the wheel, I found myself gazing on to the canal, where I was faintly surprised to see various boats still going about their normal business right next to the fighting.This sentence described the normal scene of old Shanghai-in the period of war. International Settlement separate the safe and danger, comfort and fear, as well as the care between compatriot. A fisherman could work as usual even though compatriots were being hurting not far away. It uncovered how awful the indifferent people are.5、 She nodded. And a few others very similar. Cecil doesnt much like those big glittering places. He doesnt think its possible to come out a winner in those place. / “Unless someone comes to the rescue.”I found that Sarahs marriage doesnt full as we imagine. Cecil always took Sarah to Casinos and treat her with a terrible attitude. But, Sarah still explained Cecil was a good man and she was happy and she love him dearly. Thats my biggest confusion. Maybe Sarah had Ineffable difficulties that can not tell anyone and she was waiting for rescue urgently.Part 51、I could remember well enough Anthonys being something of a miserable loner at school. It was not that he was particularly bullied or teased by the rest of us; rather, as I recalled, Morgan himself who from an early stage cast himself in that role.Sometimes we saw loners and felt that they were poor and we sympathized them. But maybe no one hated them or pushed out them-they made themselves alone. At the same time, they also made the people around them look bad. If you want others accept you, you must accept others first-only heart can change into heart. Morgans behavior is what I disagree dearly.2、Refugees from north of the canal. Morgan said blandly, and turned away. For all his being a refugee himself, he appeared to feel no special empathy with his poorer counterparts. Even when once I thought we had run over a sleeping form, and glanced back in alarm, my companion merely murmured: Dont worry. Probably just some old bundle.It shows Morgans frozen heart. He was just a refugee in the past, but he overlooked the human who has the same circumstance struggling in his life. A gentleman just like this, how about officials? How the poor citizens life? The war brought not only privation, hopelessness, tear, but also human unconsciousness, which is most awful. Under the background of war, everyone may do something evil, so we should struggle for peace and love.3、“I could see them in the lamplight , sitting , squatting , some curled up asleep on the ground , squeezed one upon the other , so that there was only just enough space down the middle of the street for traffic to pass . They were of every age-I could see babies asleep in mothers arms-and their belongings were all around them ; ragged bundles , bird- cases , the occasional wheelbarrow piled high with possessions .I have now grown used to such sights , but on that evening I stared out of the car in dismay . The faces were mostly Chinese , but as we came towards the end of the street , I saw clusters of European children- Russians , I supposed .”What a painful picture it is ! So many people are suffering from the war ,losing their home and family .What exactly did the war bring to them ? They had nothing to eat and no places to live . People had to taste all the pain and suffer from the cold and the hunger . Living in such a dark society , no one would live happily . But what caused this bad situation? It is the jealous of the Japanese that bring the war and make both Chinese and Japanese people living in dire straits .We should have deeper thought about the war .When the war is obviously wrong , should the soldiers still fight for the nation ?What is the soldiers should fight for ?Part 6I realized that in this talk of a wife, I had had a picture of Sarah in my mind. Covering my embarrassment, I went on quickly:What I mean, sir, is Im not yet married. I have no wife. But I mink this room will suit my mother. Its a pity that Banks loves Sarah all the time, even she is the only one he wants to marry in his mind. But reality is, Sarah married with a man who knew her several days and she didnt love him. She always runs after the man she thought can do something meaningful, but she overlooked true love, so her marriage wasnt full. Its a sad plot, right?Simplest ways just to wander around Frenchtown any night after dark. Bound to come across him sooner or later. You usually see him in a heap on the pavement. Or if hes been let into some hole of a bar, hell be snoring away in a dark corner.Inspector Kung, who was ever a brave hero, has changed into a drunker, an opium addict. This is a reflection of the main express method of this novel-DESTRUCT. Its a destruct of another hero. It reflects the bad effect taken by the opium and war to Chinese social that time.But in the end, he went on, this city defeats you. Every man betrays his friend. You trust someone, and he turns out to be in the pay of a gangster. The government are gangsters, too. How is a detective to do his duty in a place like this? Banks didnt believe the hearsay about change of Inspector Kung from hero into a beggar who has no wealth，and today it has been convinced by himself. At that time, no matter how justice is one person, he or she is also possible fall into deep gap. The person you believe in were working for gangsters to gain their money. It shows how dark was in China at that period of time. Inspector Kung has brought Banks the hope of finding his father. He was also the hero of Banks and Akiras detective action who represented justice and light. The author destructed another hero in Banks heart again cruelly.Youre what I call a proper fool. Do you know why? Ill tell you. You pretend to know far more than you do. Youre too proud to admit to your shortcomings. Thats my definition of a fool exactly. Do you hear me? A right and proper fool!Banks had a life without annoyance once as a famous detective in England. But when he went out from the umbrella-International Settlement, he was thrown into a panic and lost his gentle behavior, even scolded the driver without mind. This was the first time felt fear for him. It shows everyone knows the terror of war, but they were all comfort themselves by staying in the Settlement where filled with laugher and ease to escape the reality. This part also uses a great deal of space to describe terrible scene at the war area. Houses had been destroyed and a number of people who were innocent were killed. Author shows that to us as a visitor so that wo can feel more really. On the other hand, I cant understand why Banks insisted to find his parents after such long time at the same house in his memory. Its impossible. But maybe author wants us know how important it is in Banks heart, which left him from childhood.Part 7 The meeting of Banks and Uncle Philip left deep impression in my head. Its the reveal of all the mystery. Banks father was not be abducted because he fought the Opium, but fled with his mistress due to the distance f
