出自罗伯特·彭斯《一朵红红的玫瑰》英文Once upon a time, in a small village nestled amidst rolling hills, there lived a young girl named Rose. Rose was known for her vibrant red hair, which matched her fiery personality. She possessed a unique charm that captivated everyone she met. This is the story of Rose and her extraordinary journey.From a young age, Rose had a deep love for nature. She would spend hours exploring the lush forests surrounding her village, marveling at the beauty of the flowers and trees. Her favorite spot was a hidden meadow filled with blooming roses of all colors. Amongst the sea of flowers, one particular rose always caught her eye a stunning red rose that seemed to radiate with life.One day, as Rose was admiring her favorite red rose, she noticed a tiny creature perched on one of its petals. It was a delicate fairy with translucent wings, shimmering in the sunlight. The fairy introduced herself as Lily and explained that she was the guardian of the red rose. She told Rose that the red rose possessed a magical power that could bring happiness and love to anyone who truly believed in its magic.Intrigued by this revelation, Rose made a promise to herself that she would protect the red rose and share its magic with the world. She dedicated her days to learning about the rose's power and how to harness it. With Lily's guidance, Rose discovered that the key to unlocking the rose's magic lay within her own heart.As Rose grew older, she became a renowned healer in her village. People would come from far and wide seeking her assistance, as they believed in the power of the red rose. Rose would use the petals of the rose to create healing potions and ointments, bringing relief to those in need. She also shared the rose's magic through her kind words and compassionate actions, spreading love and joy wherever she went.Word of Rose's incredible abilities reached the ears of the kingdom's ruler, King Edward. Intrigued by the tales of the red rose's magic, he summoned Rose to his palace.Upon meeting her, the king was immediately captivated by her beauty and grace. He asked Rose to become his royal healer, promising to protect the red rose and its magic.Rose accepted the king's offer, but on one condition that the red rose be accessible to all, not just the royal family. King Edward agreed, recognizing the importance of sharing the rose's magic with the entire kingdom. From that day forward, the red rose became a symbol of hope, love, and unity for all the people.As the years passed, Rose continued to use the red rose's magic to heal and bring happiness to others. She became a beloved figure in the kingdom, known as the "Rose of Love." Her legacy lived on even after her passing, as the red rose continued to bloom in the meadow, reminding everyone of the power of love and the magic that lies within.And so, the story of Rose and the red rose became a timeless tale, inspiring generations to believe in the extraordinary power of love. It serves as a reminder that within each of us lies the ability to bring happiness and healing to the world, just like the red rose that forever blooms in the meadow.。

The laughing heartIf I pick up a poem,this one definitely can be a symbol of my life faith——’The laughing heart’.It was written by Charles Bukowski,it reads like a song which always encourages people to keep fighting up against obstructors we will meet.‘ Life is your life ,don’t let it be clubbed into dark submission.Be on watch, there ways out,there is a light somewhere, it may not much light but it beats the darkness’.This sentence can perfectly describe the movie I just watched——’The Martian’.It is a story about an astronaut how to rescue himself when finding himself left alone on Mars.You can’t imagine how much pressure he endured,not enough food,water,oxygen and many other basic conditions of human survival.But he survived successfully by his knowledge and more important factor——persistance.He met lots of difficulties,but he never gave up his hope.It is also the theme of the poem,even you are driven to the last ditch,you need fight to keep the light of hope.‘Be on watch,the gods will offer you chances,then know them,take them.’We all know we can not beat death but we can beat death in life,sometimes.Our life is the same with a movie in essence,the difference is just the length of time.So why we can’t act like what the actors do in those movie?Keep moving,keep fighting,believe you are marvelous, the gods also wait to delight in you.They said people who look up to sky wheel is looking up to their happiness.Happiness may be hundreds miles high away from you,but if you stopped looking for your happiness,you won’t get any chance to hold it in your own hands.I love the poem because it offers chances to me to preserve my hope,my faith to battles with those enemies,though they are strong,they are scaring,they can make us live in darkness.the poem tells me there is still a light somewhere,it is waiting for me,I need to continue to walk to find it.May be it will last a long time,so in this process tiredness will always follow you, when you are in doubt ,please just take the next small step.If you do this,it will be enough for you to.In the Orient young bulls are tested for the fight arena in a certain manner.Each is brought to the ring and allowed to attack a picador who pricks them with a lance.The bravery of each bull is then rated with care according to the number of times he demonstrates his willingness to charge in spiteof the sting of the blade.This story is also a example of insistance.If we never give up the hope to get the light in darkness,your life will be your life。

Rondel of Merciless Beauty Geoffrey Chaucer Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly; Their beauty shakes me who was once serene; Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen. Only your word will heal the injury To my hurt heart, while yet the wound is clean - Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly; Their beauty shakes me who was once serene. Upon my word, I tell you faithfully Through life and after death you are my queen; For with my death the whole truth shall be seen.

《丽塔海华丝及肖申克监狱的救赎》

《丽塔海华丝及肖申克监狱的救赎》老鸦我大清早起站在人家屋角上哑哑的啼。

人家讨嫌我，说我不吉利；我不能呢呢喃喃讨人家的欢喜！天寒风紧，无枝可栖。

我整日里飞去飞回，整日里又寒又饥。

我不能带着鞘儿，翁翁央央的替人家飞；也不能叫人家系在竹竿头，赚一把黄小米！（胡适）电影《肖申克的救赎》，改编自恐怖小说大师斯蒂芬金1982年出版的短篇小说，书名为《丽塔·海华丝及肖申克监狱的救赎》,在1994年第67届奥斯卡电影金像奖上提名包括最佳电影在内的七项大奖，最终惜败给《阿甘正传》。

导演根据史蒂文金将整个故事插上羽翼，用细腻的笔触和镜头勾勒出众生相，整个故事显得更加流畅自然。

不仅仅是原著的优秀，剧本，人物，特殊的场设。

Steven 本人也对剧本的改编感到很满意，摩根弗里曼也表示这是他最喜欢的电影。

这是讲述一个被冤入狱、失去自由的人，重新找到自由的故事。

安迪不是被人恩赐自由，而是在艰难环境下选择自由，靠着希望、坚韧、执著、勇气和智慧，赢得自由。

“Fear can hold you prisoner. Hope can set you free.”人生最致命的，是心狱，心的枷锁，是自我囚禁、不敢相信自由，是在强权下恐惧自由。

“开始，别人给你造监狱接着，你帮着造监狱，到最后，你就是自己的监狱不要你坐牢简直就是要你的命。

”剧情人物简介银行家，安迪·杜弗雷（Andy Dufresne），（饰）“正常情况下会是一位体面的、可靠的公民；没有危险，甚至还有些温顺。

”1947年，30岁的银行家安迪被指控谋杀了其妻子与情人，被判处两项终身监禁，如果不是缅因州没有死刑的话，安迪活不过这个秋天。

原著中的安迪是一个矮小、整洁，安静，镇定的人影片中的安迪很高大典狱长，诺顿残爆，冷血，阴险，毒辣，虚伪，贪婪的代名词“把信仰交给上帝，你们这身贱肉归我。

收藏！史上最好的100部喜剧

收藏！史上最好的100部喜剧去年差不多这时候，BBC召集177位影评人评选了21世纪以来最伟大的100部电影，但少有喜剧片上榜。

于是，今年，BBC决定严肃对待喜剧。

他们邀请了52个国家的253位影评人（女性118名，男性135名）选出不限地域、不限年代的个人10佳喜剧片，然后综合评选出这份100佳片单。

喜剧是不可替代的电影类型，黑泽明说：“无穷的好心情，不是取笑，不是嘲讽，不是讥诮。

只是从无穷的好心情的高度你才能观察到你脚下人类的永久的愚蠢，从而发笑。

”单向街书店和良仓编译整理了BBC的这份喜剧清单，今天就分享这份片单，希望你喜欢。

1、《热情似火》Some Like It Hot 1959“没有人是完美的，但这并不是说电影不能”▲ 比利·怀尔德《热情似火》(Some Like It Hot, 1959)位列榜首的是一部基调轻松的喜剧片《热情似火》，导演比利·怀尔德是波兰裔犹太人，1933年辗转到达好莱坞后，职业生涯共收获6座奥斯卡小金人，为黄金时代的好莱坞做出了很大贡献。

《热情似火》的故事叙述呈现出悖反扭曲的特征。

一方面，梦露饰演的拜金女一心想钓有钱人，肯定了拜物女郎物质主义的价值观；另一方面，四位主人公中一对男性同性恋的设置表现出影片开放的道德观。

混杂了警匪、喜剧、剧情等多类型片的情节架构下人物内心暗流涌动、躁动不安，某种程度上呼应了越战伊始美国社会道德秩序的松动和人心的浮躁。

每个人首先记住的应该是最后一行：“嗯，没有人是完美的。

”一个面无表情的抱怨者，总是漫不经心地进行俏皮的讽刺，比利·怀尔德把1959 年的反串喜剧中甜蜜、顽皮、疯狂的颠覆性本能结合在一起。

当男主角蹒跚笨拙地承受着来自女性的阻力，就像是穿着高跟鞋在走钢丝。

影片从一部肮脏的黑社会电影到张冠李戴的一场闹剧，再到甜蜜的罗曼史，最后到同志电影。

《热情似火》任何一个看似欢乐的笑脸都可能转向危险的性别歧视陷阱。

美国作家雪莉杰克逊小说阅读：《查尔斯》

美国作家雪莉杰克逊小说阅读：《查尔斯》查尔斯（美国）雪莉杰克逊劳瑞上幼儿园那天起，我心里明白生活从此要发生些变化了。

他回家时把前门砰的一声推开，帽子先扔了进来，嗓门变得粗声粗气：有人在家吗？午饭时他出言不逊，又打翻了小妹妹的牛奶。

幼儿园里怎么样？我故意漫不经心地问道。

还行。

你学到什么东西了？丈夫问。

劳瑞冷冷地翻了丈夫一眼，说：没有学任何东西。

但是老师打了一个孩子的屁股。

我问：这孩子是谁呀？查尔斯，劳瑞想了片刻回答，他淘气。

老师打了他的屁股，还罚他站。

哦，他太淘气了。

他干了什么啦？我追问道，但是劳瑞已经爬下椅子拿起一块饼扬长而去。

第二天吃午饭时劳瑞一坐下就宣布：查尔斯今天打老师了。

天哪！他又挨打了吧？他当然挨打了，劳瑞向他父亲，瞧这儿！他父亲抬起头：干嘛？往下看——看我的大拇指！唉，你真是个大傻瓜。

他哈哈大笑起来。

我赶紧岔开：查尔斯干嘛打老师？老师要他用红蜡笔画，查尔斯偏用绿的，他就打老师了，老师就打他屁股了。

老师还不让别的小朋友跟他玩，可是别的小朋友还是跟他玩。

第三天，查尔斯在玩跷跷板时把一个小女孩的头撞出血了，课间休息老师不许他出去玩；星期四查尔斯又被罚立壁角，因为他在故事课上不停地拿脚跺地板；星期五查尔斯乱扔粉笔而被剥夺了写黑板的权利。

星期六我同丈夫商量说：把劳瑞放在幼儿园里看来并不好，这个叫查尔斯的孩子，听上去可对他没什么好影响。

没事，丈夫安慰我说，世界上总有像查尔斯这样的人，晚碰到不如早碰到。

星期一，劳瑞回家比往常晚：查尔斯今天给留下来了，所以大家都回来晚了。

这个查尔斯长得什么样？丈夫问。

他个子比我大。

他没橡皮。

他从来不穿外衣。

星期二，劳瑞突然告诉我们：有个人今天来看老师。

是查尔斯的妈妈吧？丈夫和我不约而同地问道。

哪儿啊，劳瑞不以为然地说，是个男的，老师请来教我们做体操，教我们用手碰脚尖。

他爬下椅子，蹲下，手碰了碰脚尖：看，就这样。

他又坐回椅子上，拿起叉子，变得严肃起来：查尔斯连体操也没做。

A small, happy little dog learned of this place and decided to visit. When he arrived, he hounced happily up the stairs to the doorway of the house. He looked through the doorway with his ears lifted high and his tail wagging as fast as it could. To his great surprise, he found himself staring at 1000 other happy little dogs with their tails wagging just as fast as his. He smiled a great smile, and was answered with 1000 great smiles just as warm and firendly. As he left the House, he thought to himself, "This is a wonderful place. I will come back and visit it often."In this same village, another little dog, who was not quite as happy as the first one, decided to visit the house. He slowly climbed the stairs and hung his head low as he looked into the door. When he saw the 1000 unfriendly looking dogs staring back at him, he growled at them and was horrified to see 1000 little dogs growling back at him. As he left, he thought to himself, "That is a horrible place, and I will never go back there again."All the faces in the world are mirrors. What kind of reflections do you see in the faces of the people you meet?That man knows the future（知道未来的人）Nasreddin was cutting a branch of a tree in his garden. While he was sawing, another man passed in the street. He stopped and said, "Excuse me, but if you continue to saw that branch like that, you will fall down with it." He said this because Nasreddin was sitting on the branch and cutting it at a place between himself and the trunk of the tree.Nasreddin said nothing. He thought, "This is some foolish person who has no work to do and goes about telling other people what to do and what not to do."The man continued on his way.Of course, after a few minutes, the branch fell and Nasreddin fell with it."My God!" he cried. "That man knows the future!" and he ran after him to ask how long he was going to live. But the man had gone.One sunny day a rabbit came out of her hole in the ground to enjoy the fine weather. The day was so nice that she became careless and a fox snuck up behind her and caught her."I am going to eat you for lunch!" said the fox."Wait!" replied the rabbit."Oh yeah? Why should I wait?""Well, I am just finishing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'""Are you crazy? I should eat you right now! Everybody knows that a fox will always win over a rabbit.""Not according to my research. If you like, you can come into my hole and read it for yourself.""You really are crazy!" But since the fox was curious, he went with the rabbit. The fox never came out.A few days later the rabbit was again taking a break from writing and sure enough, a wolf came out of the bushes and was ready to set upon her."Wait!" yelled the rabbit, "you can't eat me right now.""And why might that be?""I am almost finished writing my thesis on 'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'" The wolf laughed: "Maybe I shouldn't eat you; you really are sick ... in the head.""Come and read it for yourself; you can eat me afterward if you disagree with my conclusions."So the wolf went down into the rabbit's hole and never came out.The rabbit finished her thesis and was out celebrating in the local lettuce patch. Another rabbit came along and asked, "What's up? You seem very happy.""Yup, I just finished my thesis.""Congratulations. What's it about?""'The Superiority of Rabbits over Foxes and Wolves.'""Are you sure? That doesn't sound right.""Oh yes. Come and read it for yourself."So together they went down into the rabbit's hole. As they entered, the friend saw the typical graduate abode, albeit a rather messy one after writing a thesis. And to the right there was a pile of fox bones, on the left a pile of wolf bones. And in the middle was a large, well-fed lion, who was the rabbit's advisor.The moral of the story is: the title of your thesis doesn't matter; all that matters is who your advisor is.改编版中文译著：在一个充满阳光的午后，一只兔子从她的洞里出来享受大好天气。

圣诞颂歌英文读后感

This story, which follows the transformation of Ebenezer Scrooge, a greedy and miserly old man, is a powerful reminder of the true meaning of Christmas and the importance of kindness, compassion, and human connection.The story begins on Christmas Eve, as Scrooge is visited by the ghost of his former business partner, Jacob Marley. Marley warns Scrooge that he will be visited by three ghosts, who will show him the error of his ways. The first ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Past, takes Scrooge on a journey through his childhood and youth, reminding him of the joys and innocence of his past. The second ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Present, shows Scrooge the happiness and love that exists among his poor clerk, Bob Cratchit, and his family, despite their meager circumstances. The final ghost, the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come, reveals to Scrooge the consequences of his selfish behavior and the fate that awaits him if he does not change his ways.Throughout the story, Dickens uses vivid descriptions and memorable characters to bring the story to life. The ghosts are particularly effective, as they represent different aspects of Scrooge's personality and the lessons he needs to learn.

内容简介
内容简介
《圣诞颂歌》封面富有而冷漠无情,连乞丐都不愿向他讨要的自私透顶的吝啬鬼斯克鲁奇在圣诞夜被三个圣诞精灵造访：“过去之灵”、“现在之灵”、“未来之灵”。“过去之灵”让他看到在孤单寂寞的童年生活中，他的姐姐对他倍加关爱的情景，以及他当学徒时，仁慈善良的老板菲茨威格在圣诞之夜和大家一起开心跳舞，款待员工的情形。于是他的心开始被软化，后悔自己对待雇员的态度，也对自己从一个贫穷却快乐的年轻人变成一个富有却失去亲情的老板感到懊悔；“现在之灵”带他到他的一个属下家里的圣诞聚会上，那是一个拿着可怜薪水的小职员，没有圣诞礼物，没有火鸡，可每个人脸上都洋溢着幸福的微笑；“未来之灵”让他看到在他衰老之后病卧在床,连圣诞节也没有亲人朋友来看望的孤苦景象。于是，他开始重新思考生活的意义，才发现原来施与比接受更快乐。这一切渐渐唤醒他人性的另一面——同情、仁慈、爱心及喜悦。瞬间，他那固有的自私及冷酷迅速崩塌，消失殆尽，从此变成了一个乐善好施的人。于是在鬼魂拜访过的第二天早上，也就是圣诞节的早晨，雇员鲍勃(Bob)上班迟到了，他原以为斯克鲁奇会生气的。可是相反，斯克鲁奇对他说，“我的好伙计，祝你圣诞快乐！我要给你加薪，而且还要尽力去帮助你贫困的家庭。快点把火生着，再去买一个煤筐。”接着他又买了一只特别大的火鸡叫人给鲍勃家送去。随后，他第一次去拜访了自己的外甥，在街上逢人便招呼道“圣诞快乐”，而人们也都报以和善的微笑。斯克鲁奇平生第一次感到了真正的快乐。“他的心在笑”，从乐善好施中他真正体会到了生活的乐趣。

《圣诞欢歌》A Christmas CarolThe end of the storyYes!and the bedpost was his own.The bed was his own，the room was his own.Best and happiest of all， the future was his own， to change his life in!‘I will remember the past，and think of the future，’repeated Scrooge，as he jumped out of bed.‘God bless you，Jacob Marley!And God bless Christmas!’In his excitement he found it difficult to speak.His face was still wet from crying.‘Here are my bed-curtains!’he cried delightedly.‘They aren't stolen! And I'm alive!Those were only shadows of things that may be!The future will be different!I know it will!’All this time his hands were busy，hurriedly putting on his clothes.He put his left foot in his right shoe，couldn't find the buttons on his shirt，and forgot to brush his hair.‘I don't know what I'm doing!’said Scrooge，laughing and crying at the same time.‘A merry Christmas to everybody!A happy new year to all the world!Hurrah! There's the door which Jacob's ghost came through!There's the corner where the ghostof Christmas Present sat!There's the window where I saw the travelling ghosts!It's all true，it all happened!Ha ha h a!’Really，for a man who hadn't laughed for so many years，it was an excellent laugh.The father of a long line of excellent laughs!‘I don't know what day of the month it is!’said Scrooge.‘I don't know how long I've been with the spirits!I don't know anything.I'm just like a baby.Never mind!I prefer being a baby!Hurrah!’Just then he heard the church bells ring out louder than he had ever heard before.Running to the window，he opened it and looked out.No fog at all，a clear，bright，cold day，golden sunlight，blue sky，sweet clean air，merry bells.Oh，wonderful!wonderful!‘What's today?’he cried，calling down to a boy in the street.‘Today?’replied the boy，in great surprise.‘Why，it's Christmas Day!’‘So I haven't missed it!’thought Scrooge.‘The spirits have done it all in one night!’He called down to the boy again，‘Hallo， young man!Do you know the meat shop at the corner of the next street? ’‘Of course I do，’replied the boy.‘What an intelligent boy!’said Scrooge.‘Do you know if they've sold the big turkey that was in the shop window yesterday?’‘What，the one as big as me?’asked the boy.‘What a delightful boy!’said Scrooge.‘It's wonderful talking to him.Yes，that's the one!’‘It's still there in the window，’said the boy.‘Is it?’said Scrooge.‘Well，go and buy it.’‘You don't mean it!’cried the by.‘I do，I do.I'm serious.Go and buy it，and tell the man to bring it back e back with the man and I'll give you a e back in less than five minutes and I'll give you three shillings!’The by went off like a bullet from a gun.‘I'll send the turkey to Bob Cratchit's! laughed Scrooge.‘He'll never know who's sent it!It's twice as big as Tiny Tim!Ha ha ha!’He went on laughing as he wrote Bob's address，gave it to the man with the turkey，and paid for a taxi，because the turkey was much too heavy to carry all the way to Camden T own.Now he finished dressing，and went out into the streets，wearing his best clothes.The town was full of happy，busy people，and Scrooge smiled at all of them.Three or four men said cheerfully to him，‘Good morning，sir! And a merry Christmas to you!’scrooge thought these were the best sounds that he had ever heard.As he was walking，he suddenly noticed one of the comfortable-looking gentlemen who had come to his office to ask for money for the poor.Scrooge went straight up to him，took the old gentleman by both hands，and said，‘My dear sir，how are you? A merry Christmas to you，sir!’‘Mr Scrooge?’asked the gentleman，surprised.‘Yes， that's my name.I'm very sorry for what I said to you when you visited me yesterday.Will you please—’and he spoke very quietly in the gentleman's ear.‘Good Heavens!’cried the gentleman.‘My dear Mr Scrooge，are you serious?’‘I am.Not a shilling less.I must tell you，I haven't given anything to anyone for years.’‘My dear sir!’said the gentleman，shaking hands with him.‘I don't know how to thank you for—’Don't say anything，please，’replied Scrooge.‘Will you come and see me tomorrow about it?’‘I will!’cried the old gentleman happily.‘Thank you，and God b less you!’said Scrooge.He went to church，and watched the people，and gave children money for sweets， and discovered that he had never been so happy in his life.In the afternoon he went to his nephew's house He passed the door several times before he was brave enough to knock.But at last he did it，and was taken into the sitting-room，where Fred and his pretty wife were waiting for their friends to arrive for dinner.‘Fred!’said Scrooge.‘It's your uncle Scrooge.I've come to dinner.Will you let me stay，Fred?’Let him stay!Fred almost shook his uncle's arm off.Scrooge felt at home in five minutes.Nothing could be merrier.And what a wonderful dinner they had!Wonderful party，wonderful games，wonderful happiness!But he was early at the office next morning.Oh，he was there early.He wanted to catch Bob Cratchit arriving late.And he did!The clock struck nine.No Bob.A quarter past.No Bob.He was eighteen and a half minutes late when he finally hurried in.Scrooge was sitting with his office door open.‘Hallo!’said Scrooge in his old，hard voice.‘What do you mean by coming here so late?’I'm very sorry，sir，said Bob.‘I am late.It's only once a year.We were rather merry yesterday，sir.’‘Now I'll tell you what，my friend，said Scrooge，‘I'm not going to have this any longer.And s o’，he continued， jumping off his chair and shaking Bob's hand，‘I'm going to pay you twice as much!’Bob's face went white.For a second or two he thought that Scrooge had gone crazy.‘A merry Christmas，Bob!’said Scrooge，and it was clear that he meant It.‘A merrier Christmas，Bob，than I've given you for a long time.I'm going to pay you well，and help you with your family，and we'll discuss it all this afternoon over a Christmas drink， Bob! Put more wood on the fire at once， Bob Cratchit，and let's be comfortable!’Scrooge did everything that he had promised，and more.To Tiny Tim，who did NOT die，he became a second father.He became as good a friend，employer and man，as anyone in London or in the world.Some people laughed to see the change in him，but he did not care.His own heart laughed inside him，and that was good enough for him.He never had any more conversations with spirits， but kept Christmas cheerfully，and lived a happy life.That is what all of us want， and so，as Tiny Tim said，‘God bless us，every one!’。

也是他的出生地The Homestead, Milton Hershey's birthplace还有一间只有一个教室的校舍and the one-room schoolhouse.我没有动物园的模型是因为One of the reasons I don't have the zoo on here从我家往后面看is because I can actually look behind my house就可以看见动物园的两三个展馆and see a couple of the exhibits.在我的房&hearts;间外就有一只麋鹿And actually just outside my room, this is the Elk.有时候我们能听见它叫唤Some days we get to hear him,很有可能是因为他饿了when he's hungry most likely.起初这里都是些珍奇动物Originally it was exotic animals,而现在这里大部分都是北美野生动物now it's concentrated about just North American wildlife animals. 所以这里没有猴子So no monkeys.我在申请大学的时候When I was looking for colleges,在北卡罗来纳州找到了一所我钟爱的大学found a college that I really enjoyed down in North Carolina. 一毕业我就开始在那儿找工作Once I graduated, started looking for jobs down there.结果没有找到任何我感兴趣的工作Didn't really find any jobs, that I was interested in.所以我决定回到好时镇So I decided that I would come back to Hershey.我真从没想过自己会回来I really never thought I would return.在我离开好时镇的那些日子When I've been away from Hershey,我最想念的可能就是这里的香气probably the thing that I most miss would be the aroma,好时镇弥漫的那种巧克力香味the smell of the chocolate in Hershey.甚至在下雨天雨越大Even on a rainy day, on the rainiest day空气中弥漫的巧克力香味也就越美妙is when you get the best smells of chocolate in the air.所以即使当大自然在作怪时So even when Mother Nature wants to make it look ugly,我们也能因烘焙布朗尼飘出的香气而兴奋we are all excited about the smell of baking brownies, so. 经过几日跋涉工人们终于到达了种植园拿着大刀工作可真不容易我有好几次都划伤了自己如果你划伤了自己老板会叫你摘片蕉叶把伤口绑上然后叫你回去继续工作如果你累了你也不能休息他们会不停地压榨你在地里干活你必须达到一定的工作量如果你达不到老板就不会给你工钱孩子们每天被迫工作长达16小时如果你不按要求做就会受到严厉的惩罚曾经有一个男孩对工作条件不满老板不仅不让他离开还差点把他打死为了宣传他们的巧克力罗恩和纳丁举办了一个特殊活动并请来了生巧克力大&hearts;师&hearts;大卫·沃斧大家下午好Hi.
