【賞析】18-THE HARD TRUTH這個(gè)題目太巧妙淹朋,影射了人們對(duì)于truth的孜孜追求..the pursuit of truth did not satisfy their skepticism; it led them to deeper questions about who they wanted to be and whom they wanted to believe. 另一方面笙各,發(fā)展是硬道理钉答,這個(gè)hard truth帶給我們太多的思考,經(jīng)濟(jì)快速發(fā)展的同時(shí)杈抢,我們是不是遺落了什么数尿?物質(zhì)的豐富,收入的提高似乎并沒(méi)有帶來(lái)幸福和滿(mǎn)足惶楼,焦慮失望的背后右蹦,我們?cè)趺戳耍縏he most common feeling in china today …disappointment. This feeling comes from the insufficient improvement in lives amid rapid economic growth. …是出生決定地位的無(wú)奈 birth determines class 是對(duì)社會(huì)流動(dòng)性低的嘆息 china had one of the world’s lowest levels of social mobility. 是后來(lái)者對(duì)先到者望其項(xiàng)背的失落 the longer I lived in china ,the more it seemed that people had come to see the economic boom as a train with a limited number of seats … but they would only be able to watch the caboose shrink into the distance.是從最初物質(zhì)富裕帶來(lái)的滿(mǎn)足歼捐,到與富人比較后內(nèi)心的失落 the first generation of assembly-line workers had been grateful to be off the farm ,but this generation compared themselves to wealthier peers. ….一種奇怪的心理在作祟people had a surprisingly high tolerance for the rise of the plutocracy, what they resented were the obstacles that prevented them from joining it: weak courts, abuses of power, a lack of recourse .內(nèi)心的焦慮壓抑何陆,耗盡心力卻也難以追趕,我們每個(gè)人何嘗不是過(guò)著“雙生”double life –the willingness to say one thing in public and another in private, because of fear or interest or a combination of the two. Eventually that double life became untenable. 誰(shuí)不是在夾著尾巴做人豹储,只是做的好辛苦………
