Background Information1) About the AuthorTobias Wolff (1945—) was born in Alabama in 1945. His parents divorced when he was a boy. Wolff’s mother retained custody of him. As a child, Wolff traveled with his mother, Rosemary, to the Pacific Northwest, where she remarried. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest, young Tobias soon was forcedto endure life under his strict and cruel stepfather. His efforts to get away from his stepfather led to his self-transformation. That period of Wolff’s life is recounted in This Boy’s Life: A Memoir, which was later made into a film.He lives with his family in upstate New York and teaches writing at Syracuse University.From 1964 through 1968, Wolff served as a lieutenant (陆军中尉) with the U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Berets) in Vietnam. He later recounted his wartime experiences in the memoir In t he Pharaoh’s Army: Memoirs of the Lost War.In 1972 Wolff earned his B.A. and then his M.A. from Oxford University with First Class Honors in English three years later.He is the author of the short novel The Barracks Thief, which won the 1985 PEN/Faulkner Award; two collections of short stories, Back in the World (collecting “Say Yes”)and In the Garden of the North American Martyrs, which received the Saint Lawrence Award for fiction in 1982.2) RacismRacism: the belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.Racism has been called the national curse of the United States ever since the first black slaves were brought into this continent. We all know the sufferings of the blac ks as described in Uncle Tom’s Cabin; we also know about the Ku Klux Klan and the Jim Crow Laws. But since the Civil Right movement of the1960s, a lot of changes have taken place, and the racial relationship has improved. However racism is still very much alive. The only thing is that it now may take more subtle forms.3) Ku Klux KlanKoo Klucks Klan also known as KKK: a secret white supremacist (至上主义者) organization at various times in American history terrorized blacks and white sympathizers with violent acts of lynching (处私刑), shootings and whippings.⏹Founded: 1866⏹Founder: Confederate (盟军) Civil War veterans (退伍军人)⏹Headquarters: Powderly, Kentucky; Butler, Indiana; Jasper, Texas⏹Background: The Klan has fragmented into scores of competing factions.Most of these are nominally (名义上地) independent.⏹Estimated size: no more than a few thousand, organized into slightly morethan 100 units⏹Media: mass mailings (邮寄), leafleting (传单) and the Internet⏹Strategy: public rallies (集会) and protests⏹Ideology: some Christian fundamentalist beliefs, Christian Identity, whitesupremacy⏹Financial support: little, Even Imperial Wizards have to hold day jobs.Most funding comes from membership dues and sales of Klan paraphernalia (随身用具).4) Jim Crow LawsRacial segregatio n, called “Jim Crow”, excluded blacks from public transport and facilities, jobs, juries, and neighborhoods. Blacks had separate hospitals, prisons, orphanages (孤儿院), parks and pools (足球场). The 19th century ended with the races firmly segregated—culturally and legally.3. Text Analysis1) A Brief Introduction of the Text“Say Yes” takes as its backdrop an average evening in the life of a married couple. When the conversation delves into an issue on which the couple do not agree, the relationship experie nces a newfound rockiness. The husband’s reaction to this argument demonstrates the secret undercurrents that run through relationships.2) An Analysis of the Text StructureOn an ordinary night after supper → a common talk → different a ttitudes→conflic tsPart 1 (Paras. 1-13): Ann and her husband argue about marriage between blacks and whites.Part 2 (Paras. 14-46): As their argument intensifies it becomes personal.Part 3 (Paras. 47-57): He gives in and their argument is seemingly settled.3) Detailed Study1. They were doing the dishes, his wife washing while he dried.To do the dishes means to wash the dishes or clean the dishes. Pay attention tothese verb-noun collocations. More examples form the text:⏹to call sb.’s name; to mop the floor; to dr y the dishes; to wipe the table; todemonstrate the difference; to take a breath; to win the argument; to spray the silverware; to pinch one’s brows; to bite one’s lower lip Refresh students’ memory of the use of adjectives as verbs. More examples: to empt y one’s pockets; to wet one’s lips; to narrow the gap; to dirty one’s hands; to clear the street; to clean the room; to long for the vacation; to busy oneself with sth.; to thin out the corn; to calm down; to cool down; to warm one’s hands over the fire; to smooth things over; to dry one’s tears2. Unlike most men he knew, he really pitched in on the housework.Do not mix up “unlike” and “dislike”. The former is the opposite of the preposition “like” while the latter is the opposite of the verb or noun of “like”. More examples:⏹Unlike many young people of his background, he hates the attention he isgiven because of his father⏹Unlike the United Stated, Japan largely relies on bank loans for its capitalneeds.⏹Unlike many other government officials, he is neither corrupt norcorruptible.pitch in1) to start working energeticallye.g. They all pitched in and soon finished the job.2) to offer help and supporte.g. They pitched in with contributions of money.housework: domestic duties such as cleaning and cooking (not to be confused with “homework”)3. A few months earlier he’d overheard a friend o his wife’s congratulating her on having such a considerate husband.Review the verb pattern” verb + (pro)noun + doing sth. More examples:⏹I overheard the young couple quarreling last night.⏹She overheard the men discussing their play to rob a bank.a friend of his wife’s: one of his wife’s friends (The person that is referred tohere is not obvious within the situation.) Notice the use of the possessive pro noun “his” here.congratulate sb. on sth. More examples:⏹They all congratulated me on winning the first prize.⏹When I grew older, I realized that I really should have congratulatedmyself on having such a poor but loving father.considerate: thoughtful; kind; careful not to hurt or cause inconvenience to others⏹consider v.⏹considerate: a. showing kind regard for the feelings, thoughtful, carefulnot to hurt or cause inconvenience to othersE.g. It is considerate of you not to play the piano while I was having a sleep.⏹ considerable: a. rather large or great , as in size , distance, or extentE.g. He bought a house at a considerable expense.⏹considering: prep. in view of, having regard toE.g. She’s very active, considering her age.4. … somehow got on the subject of whether white people should marry black people.somehow: in some way (I don’t remember how it happened), e. g.⏹That day somehow I didn’t feel like eating.⏹We went to Wangfujing together the other day and somehow I couldn’tfind him anywhere.get on (to): to begin to discusswhether white people should marry black people: whether it is advisable ora good idea for white people to marry black people. “Should” here does notmean “must”.5. He said that all things considered, he thought it was a bad idea.all things considered: when one considers every aspect of the problem or situation, e.g.⏹All things considered, he is doing pretty well at school. (Under theseconditions he is doing quite well.)⏹All things considered, the reform is a success. (There are many problemsof course.)6. Sometimes his wife got this look where she pinched her brows together and bit her lower lip.“Where” here is used as a relative adverb introducing an attributive clause which modifies the word “look”.Make students compare:⏹He went to a school, which was very far from where he lived.⏹He went to school where he learned many interesting things.⏹I saw a movie last night which was real junk.⏹I saw a movie last night where there was a lot of violence.pinch her brows together: to contract or squeeze her eyebrows; to frown7. ...and I’ve worked with blacks and we’ve always gotten along just fine.Notice how the man tried to show that he was not a racist. The man of course was by no means the worst kind of racist. In fact, he would be considered quite liberal. But it is precisely the fact that even decent people are deeply influenced that shows the seriousness of the matter.gotten: past participle of “get” in American English8. I don’t need you coming along now and implying that I’m a racist.Here, “you coming along …” is the complex object to the verb “need”.9. I just don’t see what’s wrong with a white person marrying a black person, that’s all.Here’s another example of a complex object (a white person marrying…) toa preposition (with). More examples:⏹What’s wrong with peasants coming to big cities to look for jobs?⏹What’s wrong with people demanding to know how their taxes are beingspent?10. They don’t come from the same culture.As racial discriminations based on color differences are now totally discredited, today many people try to justify their prejudices by cultural differences.11. That’s okay with me, I like hearing them talk. But it’s different.That’s okay with me: I have no objection to thatBut it’s different: “It” here stands for “marriage”.12. Like you know me?In informal English, “like” is often used as a conjunction (= as or as if).More examples:⏹Like I said, I can’t get there by 5 p.m.⏹Do you speak to Children like you speak to adults?13. Oh boy, he thought.“Oh boy” is used often in American English when someone is slightly annoyed. The man was annoyed because his wife was determined to pursue the argument.14. Don’t take my word for it. Look at the statistics.You don’t have to accept what I say as true. Look at the statistics.take someone’s word for it: (spoken) used to say that someone should accept what you say as true, e.g.⏹Take my word for it, this boy is going to have a bright future.⏹You can take my word for it, I will never let you down.15. She was piling dishes on the draining-board at a terrific rate. Many of themwere still greasy.at a terrific rate: at a great speed. “Rate” means “speed” as also in “growth rate”.greasy: covered with grease (animal fat softened by cooking or heating) as in ~ food, ~ dishes, ~ skin, ~ hair, ~ fingers.16. “Yes, different,” he snapped, angry with her for resorting to this trick ofrepeating his words so that they sounded hypocritical.snap: to say sth. quickly and angrilyresort to this trick: to adopt this method“Trick” is often something you do to deceive or outwit.17. … and threw all the silverware back into the sink.“Ware” means manufactured goods. It is often used to form compound words such as silverware, ironware, software, hardware, glassware, earthenware, ovenware.18. She stared down at it, her lips pressed tight together, then plunged her handsunder the surface.She stared down at it, with her lips pressed tight …“Pressed” here is past participle and “tight” modifies “lips”.plunge: (to cause sth.) to fall suddenly and with force, e.g.⏹The fish plunged deep into the water.⏹This scandal plunged the government into a serous crisis.19. He ran upstairs to the bathroom and rummaged in the medicine chest foralcohol, cotton, and a Band-Aid.rummage: to search for sth. by moving things around in a careless wayIt is usually used in the following patterns:⏹to rummage in a place for sth.;⏹to rummage through a place for sth.;⏹to rummage around20. … (he) dabbed at he r thumb with the cotton.dab: to touch sth. lightly, usually several timesIt is usually used in the following patterns:⏹to dab at a certain place (a bleeding lip for instance) with sth.;⏹to dab sth. on or onto some place21. He hoped that she appreciated how quickly he had come to her aid.come to her aid: to come to help herAlso, to come to our rescue = to come to rescue us22. He’d acted out of concern for her, he thought that it would be a nice gestureon her part not to start up that conversation a gain, …Refresh students’ memory of “out of concern”.out of: because of, e.g.⏹I just followed the crowd out of curiosity.⏹The job was not very well paid. She took it just out of interest.⏹I really have no excuse. I did it out of carelessness and stupidity.Paraphrase:The man had shown concern for his wife, and he hoped that his wife would show her concern in return by not continuing this unpleasant conversation.23. So … you wouldn’t have married me if I’d been black.Help the students review this pattern by asking them to respond to questions like the following:⏹He knew there was a burglar in the house, but he was alone and unarmed.Now what would you have done if you had been in that situation?⏹He discovered a bag of gold. Do you know what he did with it? Whatwould you have done if you had found so much money?⏹If you had been in Tangshan that night, what would you have done themoment you realized that it was an earthquake?24. “For Christ’s sake, Ann!”“For Christ’s sake” is often used to express annoyance too, like “Oh boy”.The man was really upset that his wife wouldn’t stop.25. debating clubStudents should remember that “debating” here is a gerund used as the attributive of “club”. More examples:⏹rinsing nozzle; reading materials; teaching method; eating habits;speaking mannersNotice:1) Sometimes such kind of noun phrases becomes compound words (withor without hyphens): sitting-room, sleeping-pills, dining-car2) There is a subtle difference between these noun phrases and phrasesmodif ied by present participles. “A sleeping beauty” for example is a beauty that is sleeping. It is different from “sleeping-pill” because the pill is not sleeping.26. “Then you probably would have been going out with a black guy.” He pickedup the rinsing nozzle and sprayed the silverware.More examples for the pattern “would have been doing sth.” in the subjunctive mood:⏹If it had not been for his help, my father would have been begging in thestreet still.⏹If he had not hit upon this idea, he would have been living on governmentrelief still.27. “Let’s say I am black and unattached,” …Let’s say: Let us supposeunattached: still single or unmarried; not engaged; without a regular companion28. “… this is stupid.”“This” here refers to the whole argumen t.29. There was no possible way of arguing with the fact that she would not beherself if she were black.What follows the word “fact” is an appositive clause which explains what the “fact” is rather than modifies it like in attributive clauses. Nouns t hat are often used to introduce such appositive clauses are: reason, fact, idea, view, decision, etc. Ask students to complete the following sentences:⏹What do you think of the idea that ___________?⏹How do you explain the fact that ____ ______?⏹What is the reason (why) ________ _________?⏹Do you accept the view that ______________ __?30. … but he still felt cornered.corner: to get a person into a position from which it is hard to escape.Here, it means to put a person into a difficult situation.31. “Let’s not move too fast on this,” …Paraphrase: Don’t let us rush to a decision. I have to think carefully before I give you an answer.32. “Since you put it that way –“Paraphrase: Since you make it a yes or no question -- / Since you ask your question so bluntly33. She said, “Thank you,” and walked from the kitchen into the living room.Thank you: Thank you for telling me the truth. This polite expression actually shows her mounting anger.34. … but she didn’t snap through the pages the way he woul d have done.snap through the pages: to turn the pages suddenly, making short and sharp noisesAsk students to observe the following uses of the work “snap”:⏹He snapped two little twigs off a tree and used them as chopsticks.⏹She snapped her briefcase shut and left angrily.⏹I only told him that a certain Miss Li had called and he snapped at me forno reason.⏹He only stayed long enough to snap a few pictures.⏹At first I treated it as a joke, but then I suddenly snapped.35. While he was at it, he decided, he might as well mop the floor.be at it: to be in a continuous state or activity, e.g.to be at war; to be at work; to be at peaceParaphrase:Since he was doing the dished, etc., he might as well mop the floor.36. When he was done the kitchen looked new, the way it looked when they werefirst shown the house.When he was done: When he had finished, e.g.⏹When you are done with the book, pass it on to Chen.In the relative clauses following such nouns as “way”, “reason”, “time”, “day”, the relative adverbs are usually omitted. For example:⏹Don’t like the way (how) he talks to people.⏹I don’t know the reason (why) she turned down that offer.⏹Do you remember the time (when) we went to Huashan together?⏹The day (when) I went to school, I was both excited and scared.37. The night was clear and he could see a few stars to the west, where the lightsof the town didn’t blur them out.The night was clear: The night was starry, no clouds, no mist, no smoke.Ask students to translate the following phras es with the word “clear”:⏹Clear water; clear air; clear meanings; clear situation; clear case; clearsky; clear picture; clear head; clear example; clear view; clear conscience⏹Cf. The street is clean. (no garbage; not dirty)⏹The street is clear. (no traffic; not blocked)38. In another thirty years or so they would both be dead. What would all thatstuff matter then?Paraphrase: In another thirty years or so they would both be dead. So what’s the sense of arguing about these problems?The use of the word “another” here seems to suggest that they must have been married for about thirty years. Therefore in another thirty years they would both be in their late eighties, assuming they were married intheir late twenties. This shows that theirs obviously was to one of those little harmless arguments between a young husband and wife. It concerned a matter of principle to Ann, who must have been a very serious idealistic person.39. … and his throat tightened so that he could hardly breathe.Call students’ attention to the uses of the three “and” again. (The first two mean “in addition” whereas the last one means “as a result”.)The man seemed to be happy with the marriage, and was ready to humor his wife.40. I’ll make it up to you.make it up to sb. : to do sth. good for sb. because you feel responsible for sth. bad that happened between you, e.g.I can’t take you to the park today, son. I’m sorry, but I will make it up foryou one day.Compare this with “make it up with sb.”, which is different in meani ng:I had a little quarrel with my sister last night, but I made it up with her soon.(or: … we soon made it up.)41. He knew that he had to come up with the right answer.come up with: to think of (an idea, plan or reply)He knew that he had to think of the right answer. It is clear that the man was merely trying to make peace with his wife. It does not mean that he has realized his mistake.42. “We’ll see,” …This expression is used in spoken English when you do not want to make a decision right now. Ann said this to show that she refused to be hoaxed this time.43. Finally he heard the bathroom door open and close.We don’t know what Ann was dong. One thing was clear though. She found it difficult to share the same bed with someone who had such repulsive views.44. “All right,” he said. He lay there, but nothing happened.When Ann told her husband to turn off the light, she made him feel that she had forgiven him and would soon join him. But “nothing happened”.She didn’t come to bed.45. His heart pounded the way it had on their first night together, the way it stilldid when he woke at a noise in the darkness and waited to hear it again – the sound of someone moving through the house, a stranger.Now we know that actually in all these years they were married, the man had also felt often that he did not really know his wife; she was still a “stranger” to him.4. After-text Discussion1) Theme of the TextThe idea of racism is a theme in the story, for the implication of the husband’s racism is what causes the couple to quarrel. The wife dislikes her husband’s beliefs that African Americans are different from whites. He maintains that it is not that he is prejudiced against African Americans, but that they come from a different culture and they even have their own language. The husband’s negative response to Ann’s question of whether he would marry her were she African American indicates the pervasive (普遍深入的) and destructive (破坏性的) nature of his racism.2) Grammara. wh-noun clauseI just don’t see what’s wrong with a white person marrying a black person, that’s all.

A person from their culture and a person from our culture could never really know each other."11."Like you know me" his wife asked.12."Yes. Like I know you."13."But if they love each other," she said.14.Oh boy, he thought. He said, "Don't take my word for it. Look at the statistics. Most of those marriages break up."15."Statistics." She was piling dishes on the draining-board at a terrific rate. Many of them were still greasy. "All right," she said, "what about foreigners I suppose you think the same thing about two foreigners getting married."16."Yes," he said, "as a matter of fact I do. How can you understand someone who comes from a completely different background"17."Different," said his wife. "Not the same, like us."18."Yes, different," he snapped, angry with her for resorting to this trick of repeating his words so that they sounded hypocritical. "These are dirty," he said, and threw all the silverware back into the sink.19.She stared down at it, her lips pressed tight together, then plunged her hands under the surface. "Oh!" she cried, and jumped back. She took her right hand by the wrist and held it up. Her thumb was bleeding.20."Don't move," he said. "Stay right there." He ran upstairs to the bathroom and rummaged in the medicine chest for alcohol, cotton, and a Band-Aid. When he came back down she was leaning against the refrigerator with her eyes closed, still holding her hand. He took the hand and dabbed at her thumb with the cotton. The bleeding had stopped. He squeezed it to see how deep the wound was.21."It's shallow," he said. "Tomorrow you won't even know it's there." He hoped that she appreciated how quickly he had come to her aid. He'd acted out of concern for her, he thought that it would be a nice gesture on her part not to start up that conversation again, as he was tired of it.22."I'll finish up here," he said. "You go and relax."23."That's okay," she said. "I'll dry."24.He began to wash the silverware again.25."So," she said, "you wouldn't have married me if I'd been black."26."For Christ's sake, Ann!"27."Well, that's what you said, didn't you"28."No, I did not. The whole question is ridiculous. If you had been black we probably wouldn't even have met. The only black girl I ever really knew was my partner in the debating club."29."But if we had met, and I'd been black"30."Then you probably would have been going out with a black guy." He picked up the rinsing nozzle and sprayed the silverware.31."Let's say I am black and unattached," she said, "and we meet and fall in love."32.He glanced over at her. She was watching him and her eyes were bright. "Look," he said, taking a reasonable tone, "this is stupid. If you were black you wouldn't be you." As he said this he realized it was absolutely true. There was no possible way of arguing with the fact that she would not be herself if she were black.33."I know," she said, "but let's just say."34.He took a deep breath. He had won the argument but he still felt cornered. "Say what" he asked.35."That I'm black, but still me, and we fall in love. Will you marry me"36.He thought about it.37."Well" she said. Her eyes were even brighter. "Will you marry me"38."I'm thinking," he said.39."You won't, I can tell."40."Let's not move too fast on this," he said. "There are lots of things to consider. We don't want to do something we would regret for the rest of our lives."41."No more considering. Yes or no."42."Since you put it that way — "43."Yes or no."44."Jesus, Ann. All right. No."45.She said, "Thank you," and walked from the kitchen into the living room. A moment later he heard her turning the pages of a magazine. He knew that she was too angry to be actually reading it, but she didn't snap through the pages the way he would have done. She turned them slowly, as if she were studying every word. She was demonstrating her indifference to him, and it had the effect he knew she wanted it to have. It hurt him.46.He had no choice but to demonstrate his indifference to her. Quietly, thoroughly, he washed the rest of the dishes. Then he dried them and put them away. He wiped the counters and the stove.47.While he was at it, he decided, he might as well mop the floor. When he was done the kitchen looked new, the way it looked when they were first shown the house.48.He picked up the garbage pail and went outside. The night was clear and he could see a few stars to the west, where the lights of the town didn't blur them out. On El Camino the traffic was steady and light, peaceful as a river. He felt ashamed that he had let his wife get him into a fight. In another thirty years or so they would both be dead. What would all that stuff matter then He thought of the years they had spent together, and how close they were, and how well they knew each other, and his throat tightened so that he could hardly breathe.49.The house was dark when he came back inside. She was in the bathroom. He stood outside the door and called her name. "Ann, I'm really sorry," he said. "I'll make it up to you. I promise."50."How" she said.51.He knew that he had to come up with the right answer. He leaned against the door. "I'll marry you," he whispered.52."We'll see," she said. "Go on to bed. I'll be out in a minute."53.He undressed and got under the covers. Finally he heard the bathroom door open and close.54."Turn off the light," she said from the hallway.55."What"56."Turn off the light."57.He reached over and pulled the chain on the bedside lamp. The room went dark. "All right," he said. He lay there, but nothing happened. "All right," he said again. Then he heard a movement across the room. He sat up, but he couldn't see a thing. The room was silent. His heart pounded the way it had on their first night together, the way it still did when he woke at a noise in the darkness and waited to hear it again — the sound of someone moving through the house, a stranger.。

65 SAY YES(说是)
【简介】『ＳＡＹ ＹＥＳ』是日剧《第101次求婚》的主题曲，也是恰克与飞鸟的共同作品。
“恰克”是「ＣＨＡＧＥ」的中文音译，“飞鸟”却是对应日语汉字「飛鳥」而来的。
日语中「飛鳥」的罗马拼音为「ＡＳＵＫＡ」，这也是“飞鸟”最初使用的正式艺名，但因为外国人很容易将「ＳＵ」按照英文规则去拼读，远离日语的实际发音，所以后来就去掉了元音「Ｕ」。
而词曲作者“飞鸟凉”与歌手「ＡＳＫＡ」实际是同一个人。
恰克与飞鸟是1958年出生的同龄人，他们从高中时代起就是好友，并且考入了同一所大学，只是前者没有像后者那样最终完成学业，但中途退学在日本不算是什么罕见之事，尤其是对日程繁忙的艺人而言。
恰克的音域很宽，被誉为具有金属般的质地与穿透感，而飞鸟的高音浑厚，可以不用话筒唱现场，据说在日本无人能与之媲美。
【原作】ＳＡＹ ＹＥＳ詞・曲：飛鳥涼 ⁄ 歌：ＣＨＡＧＥ＆ＡＳＫＡ余よ計けいな物ものなど無ないよねすべてが君きみと僕ぼくとの愛あいの構かまえさ少すこしくらいの嘘うそやワガママもまるで僕ぼくをためすような恋こい人びとのフレイズになるこのままふたりで夢ゆめをそろえて何なにげなく暮くらさないか愛あいには愛あいで感かんじ合あおうよ硝子がらすケースに並ならばないように何なん度ども言いうよ残のこさず言いうよ君きみがあふれてる言こと葉ばは心こころを越こえないとても伝つたえたがるけど心こころに勝かてない君きみに逢あいたくて逢あえなくて寂さみしい夜よる星ほしの屋や根ねに守まもられて恋人こいびとのせつなさ知しったこのままふたりで朝あさを迎むかえていつまでも暮くらさないか※愛あいには愛あいで感かんじ合あおうよ恋こいの手て触ざわり消きえないように何なん度ども言いうよ君きみは確たしかに僕ぼくを愛あいしてる迷まよわずに SAY YES 迷まよわずに※繰り返しSAY YES SAY YES …【统译】说是没有多余的东西对吗全部都是你和我的爱一点点的谎话与任性也仿佛是你考验我的恋人使用的专门术语就这样合起我俩的梦自然而然地生活好吗互相用爱去感受爱吧别并排在玻璃橱窗里无数次无保留地说啊你无处不在语言不能够超越心灵很想传递却苍白无力想见你见不着的寂夜是满天繁星守护了我从而懂得恋人的痛苦就这样我俩共迎朝阳永远地一起生活好吗※互相用爱去感受爱吧为了爱的感触不消失无数次地说啊你确实正在爱着我别犹豫 SAY YES 别犹豫※重复SAY YES SAY YES ……【解析】此首歌词在语法上不是很难，但人称省略较多，不小心也容易理解错。

I. On the Origin of Racism
Debates over the origins of racism often suffer from a lack of _c_la_r_it_y over the term. Many mix recent forms of racism with earlier forms of ethnic and national conflict. In most cases ethno-national conflict seems to _o_w_e_ to conflict over land and strategic resources. In some cases ethnicity and nationalism were _h_ar_n_e_s_s_e_d to wars between great religious empires (for example, the Muslim Turks and the Catholic Austro-Hungarians). As Benedict Anderson has suggested ethnic _id_e_n_t_it_y and ethno-nationalism became a source of conflict within such empires with the rise of print-capitalism.

英语精读2say yes读后感
英语精读2say yes读后感全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇1"Say Yes" is a thought-provoking and captivating short story written by Tobias Wolff. The story revolves around a married couple, Jack and Molly, who find themselves in a tense and seemingly trivial confrontation about a simple dinner invitation. Through this seemingly mundane scenario, Wolff delves into themes of communication, power dynamics, and the complexities of human relationships.One of the aspects that struck me the most about this story is the subtle yet profound exploration of communication and miscommunication between Jack and Molly. The way in which their dialogue is portrayed reveals the underlying tensions and unspoken frustrations within their marriage. Jack's insistence on saying "yes" to the dinner invitation, despite Molly's initial reluctance, highlights his desire to please others and avoid conflict. On the other hand, Molly's quiet resistance and eventual outburst reflect her feelings of being unheard and unappreciated by her husband.Furthermore, the power dynamics within the relationship are also intriguingly depicted in the story. Jack's manipulative tactics, such as using guilt and coercion to get his way, reveal his need for control and dominance. Molly's passive-aggressive responses and eventual submission to his demands shed light on her feelings of powerlessness and submissiveness in the marriage. This imbalance of power adds a layer of complexity to their interactions and raises questions about the nature of their relationship.Moreover, the ending of the story is particularly impactful as it leaves the reader with a sense of unease and unresolved tension. The final exchange between Jack and Molly, in which Jack goes back on his promise to say "no" to the dinner invitation, showcases the deep-rooted issues within their marriage that remain unresolved. The ambiguous ending forces the reader to reflect on the complexities of human relationships and the various ways in which people communicate and interact with each other.Overall, "Say Yes" is a poignant and insightful exploration of the nuances of human relationships and the complexities of communication. Through the characters of Jack and Molly, Tobias Wolff sheds light on the intricacies of marriage, powerdynamics, and the importance of open and honest communication in fostering healthy relationships. This story serves as a reminder to readers to pay attention to the subtle cues and unspoken emotions within their relationships and to strive for understanding and empathy in their interactions with others.篇2"Say Yes" is a chapter from the book "English Reading 2", which portrays the story of a woman named Lily who was struggling to balance her personal and professional life. After reading this chapter, I found it incredibly thought-provoking and insightful.The character of Lily is relatable to many working professionals today, especially women who often find themselves juggling multiple responsibilities. She is torn between saying "Yes" to her boss's demands and saying "Yes" to her family's needs. This inner conflict is something that resonates with me personally, as I have often found myself in similar situations where I had to make tough decisions about where to allocate my time and energy.One of the key messages that I took away from this chapter is the importance of setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care. Lily's struggle to find a balance between work and home life serves as a reminder that it is crucial to take care of oneself in order to be able to effectively care for others. This is a lesson that I will carry with me as I navigate my own challenges and responsibilities.Overall, "Say Yes" is a powerful and poignant chapter that sheds light on the complexities of modern life. It serves as a reminder to always listen to our inner voice and make decisions that align with our values and priorities. I highly recommend this chapter to anyone who is looking for a compelling and thought-provoking read.篇3After reading the book "Say Yes" in English Advanced Reading II, I am left feeling inspired and touched by the powerful message conveyed in the story. The book explores the theme of courage, sacrifice, and emotional resilience, reminding us that sometimes saying yes to life's challenges and uncertainties can lead to unexpected rewards and personal growth.The main character, Lily, faces numerous challenges and setbacks in her life, from a difficult childhood to the loss of her husband. Despite these hardships, she finds the strength to persevere and eventually rebuild her life with the help of her friends, family, and community. Her ability to stay positive and open-minded, even in the face of adversity, serves as a powerful example to readers of the importance of resilience and determination.One of the most moving aspects of the book is the relationship between Lily and her daughter, Sophie. By staying connected and communicating openly with each other, they are able to support one another through difficult times and ultimately strengthen their bond. This emphasizes the importance of family and the value of love and understanding in overcoming obstacles.The book also highlights the importance of taking risks and stepping out of one's comfort zone in order to grow and achieve personal fulfillment. By saying yes to new experiences and opportunities, Lily is able to discover hidden talents, form new friendships, and learn valuable life lessons. This serves as a valuable reminder to readers that taking chances and embracing change is essential for personal growth and self-discovery.Overall, "Say Yes" is a heartfelt and uplifting story that encourages readers to embrace life with optimism, courage, and an open heart. It reminds us that saying yes to life's challenges and opportunities can lead to unexpected rewards and personal growth. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for inspiration and motivation to overcome life's obstacles and find joy and fulfillment in the journey.。

现代大学英语say yes读后感英文
现代大学英语say yes读后感英文全文共6篇示例，供读者参考篇1Say Yes - A Book That Says Yes to Adventure!Hi there! My name is Tommy and I'm in fourth grade. I just finished reading this really fun book called "Say Yes" by Audrey L. Wood and I wanted to tell you all about it!The book starts off with these two kids, Bessie and Harry, who are kind of bored one day. Their mom tells them "If you keep saying you're bored, go do something!" So that's just what they decide to do. An interesting-looking bird flies by their window, and Bessie asks "I wonder what he's going to do?" Harry says "Let's find out!" And just like that, they're off on an awesome adventure!They follow the bird all around their neighborhood, saying yes to anything that comes their way. First, they jump over some sprinklers that are sprinkling away in someone's yard. Then, they stomp in some mud puddles along the sidewalk. After that, they sneak through some bushes, ducking under branches and leaves. It's like they're explorers in a jungle!My favorite part is when they come across this humongous dog. He's bigger than they are! At first they're a little scared, but then the dog turns out to be really friendly. They scratch his fur and let him lick their faces. I wish I had a dog that big!Eventually, the bird leads them to this cool treehouse hidden up in the branches of a big oak tree. Bessie and Harry climb up and have a picnic lunch up there with some snacks their mom packed for them. They look out over the whole neighborhood from up high. It seems like such an awesome hideaway!After their picnic, it starts raining. But Bessie and Harry just keep saying yes to the rain! They dance around, letting the raindrops splish and splash all over them. They don't even mind getting soaked. I'm usually not a big fan of being stuck outside in the rain, but the way the book describes it makes it seem really fun.When they finally make their way back home, all dirty and wet, their mom isn't even upset with them. She knows they've just been out having an adventure and experiencing the world around them. She's just happy they said yes to exploring and having a good time!That's pretty much the whole story, but it's about so much more than just following a bird around the neighborhood. To me,it's a book about being curious, trying new things, and never being afraid to say yes to whatever life throws your way. Bessie and Harry could have easily just sat around bored all day. But instead they decided to make their own fun and go on an exciting journey, even if it was just in their own backyard.I think the most important message of "Say Yes" is that adventure is what you make of it. You don't need to go somewhere exotic or extraordinary to have an amazing experience. Sometimes the greatest adventures are right there in your own neighborhood, if you just open your eyes and say yes to the possibilities all around you.Reading this book reminded me of this one time last summer when I was bored at home. Instead of just sitting around, I decided to go exploring in the woods behind my house, something I had never really done before. I said yes to the adventure, and I ended up finding this cool little creek where I spent hours catching frogs and skipping rocks. It was so much fun!That's why I loved "Say Yes" so much. It inspires you to get out and experience the world in a way you never have before. To be curious about the littlest things, like where a bird is headed. To try new experiences you'd normally avoid, like stomping inmud puddles. And to always have an attitude of saying yes to whatever excitement comes your way, no matter how big or small it is.From climbing trees to dancing in the rain, Bessie and Harry definitely made the most of their day by just saying yes. It makes me want to adopt that same mindset in my own life. Who knows where saying yes could lead me? Maybe my own backyard could be filled with just as much adventure as the one Bessie and Harry discovered.I think every kid (and adult too, to be honest) should read "Say Yes." We could all use a little reminder now and then to be brave, step outside our comfort zones, and say yes to exploring and appreciating the amazing world around us. You never know what you might discover.Well, that's my take on this delightful little book. I gave it two thumbs way up! In the wise words of Bessie and Harry, I'll just say "Yes! Yes! Yes!" to more books like this one. Happy adventures, everyone!篇2Say Yes: A Book That Made Me SmileHi everyone! My name is Timmy and I'm 8 years old. I just finished reading this really cool book called "Say Yes" and I wanted to tell you all about it. It's a fun story with great pictures and it taught me some important lessons too!The book is about a little kid named Michael who always says "no" to everything. His mom asks him if he wants to go to the park and he says "no!" His teacher asks if he wants to join the soccer team and he says "no" again. He even tells his baby sister "no" when she asks him to play! Michael is stuck in a rut of just saying no to everything.But then one day, Michael's grandpa comes to visit. Grandpa is this super cheerful guy who pretty much says "yes" to everything. When Michael tells him "no" about going to get ice cream, Grandpa just laughs and says "Okay, maybe next time!" Michael thinks his grandpa is kind of weird at first.On their walk, they see a garage sale sign and Grandpa gets all excited. "Let's go look!" he says. Michael doesn't want to, but Grandpa convinces him to say "yes" and they end up having a great time looking at all the cool old toys and stuff people are selling. Michael even finds this awesome vintage baseball mitt that he loves!From then on, Grandpa keeps encouraging Michael to say "yes" more often. He says yes to reading books with his mom, yes to trying new foods, yes to joining clubs at school. And you know what? Michael starts to realize that saying yes opens up all these new experiences and makes life way more fun!By the end of the book, Michael has become a totalyes-sayer like his grandpa. The pictures show him saying yes to going on a hike, yes to volunteering at a pet shelter, yes to joining the chess club. He looks so happy doing all these activities that I'm sure he would have missed out on if he kept saying no to everything.I really liked this book because it showed me how important it is to stay open-minded and give new things a chance. I'll be honest, I can be a little like Michael sometimes and just want to say no because I'm feeling lazy or scared to try something different. But this book inspired me to say yes more!Just this past weekend, my parents asked if I wanted to go to the county fair. At first I thought "No, that sounds boring." But then I remembered the lessons from "Say Yes" and decided to give it a try. We ended up having a blast! I went on rides, ate fun food like funnel cakes, and even won a goldfish at one of the game booths. If I had just said no, I would have missed out.The book also teaches that it's okay to say no sometimes too. Like if someone asks you to do something unsafe or illegal, you should definitely say no. And the main character Michael does say no to a mean older kid who tries to bully him. So it's not about saying yes to absolutely everything no matter what.But in general, I think we should all try to say yes more often! You never know what awesome opportunities or experiences you might miss if you just shut things down right away. My grandma always tells me "You'll never regret the things you said yes to, but you'll regret the things you said no to." This book helped me understand what she means by that.I highly recommend "Say Yes" to any other kids out there, and even adults too! The story is super engaging and the pictures are colorful and fun. Most importantly though, it shares a valuable message about keeping an open mind and positive attitude. Who knows what great adventures and happy moments await if we just say "Yes!"篇3Say Yes - A Book That Opened My MindI recently read this really cool book called "Say Yes" by Audrey L. Wood and Don Wood. At first, I wasn't sure if I wouldlike it because the title is kind of boring. But my teacher said we had to read it for our class, so I gave it a try. Boy, am I glad I did! This book totally blew my mind.The story is about an evening when a mom asks her kid if he would like to go for a walk outside. The kid just wants to watch TV and play video games, so he says "Uhh...no thanks." But then the mom gets this funny look on her face and says "What if I said the trees went walking tonight?" That's when things get really interesting and magical!The kid is like "Walking trees? No way!" But the mom insists it's true and says they should go out and watch them. At first, the kid thinks his mom is joking or maybe even going crazy. Trees can't actually walk, can they? But he decides to play along and they head outside.That's when the awesome adventures begin! The mom points out all these cool things in nature and uses her imagination to make them seem alive. Like the trees really are marching along, clouds look like bubbles floating by, and flowers are dancers spinning around. It's the neatest thing!With each new imaginary scene, the kid gets more and more excited and starts seeing it too. He goes from being a total grump who didn't want to go outside to having the time of hislife. By the end, he's running around chasing "walking trees" and playing pretend gladly. What a blast!I loved how this story shows that if you just say "yes" and open your mind to possibilities, the whole world can become a magical playground. All it takes is a little imagination and freedom to dream. The kid got to escape his boring reality for a while and the outdoors transformed into this vibrant fantasyland.The illustrations in the book are also amazing. They start out kind of drab and gray. But as the mom and kid's imaginations get going, the pictures just explode with vivid colors and whimsical details. It's like the kid's eyes are opening to the hidden wonder all around him. My favorite images are of the marching tree trunks that look like legs walking along. So clever!After reading this book, I feel inspired to say "yes" more and use my imagination as much as possible. Why just accept the surface level of what you see when you can dream it into something greater? From now on, I want to view the world through magic glasses like the mom and kid.I'm going to pretend the classroom is an enchanted forest when I'm bored at school. Clouds out the window won't just be clouds - maybe they'll be families of whales swimming through a celestial ocean. Anytime something seems dull, I'll find a way toliven it up with some creative thinking. Life is too great to be taken literally all the time!The only downside of this book is that it's pretty short. I wish the adventure between the mom and kid could have kept going and going. They could have walked into town and seen cars transforming into rocket ships. Or buildings could have turned into fairytale castles inhabited by dragons and knights. Maybe they'll make a sequel one day?Overall, I give "Say Yes" my highest recommendation. It's an instant classic in my mind - one of those books that has a profound message wrapped in an entertaining, easy-to-digest story. I'll definitely be reading it over and over.Whenever I'm bored or in a bad mood, all I'll need to do is crack open this book. Then I can be instantly transported to a world where anything is possible, simply by saying "yes." Trees can walk, flowers can dance, and even a young kid can go on magical journeys beyond their wildest dreams. Why say no to that?篇4Say Yes - A Book That Made Me Say Yes to Trying New Things!I just finished reading the book "Say Yes" by Audrey Couloumbis, and wow, did it ever make me think! It's all about a boy named Robey who always says no to everything. At first, I didn't really get why he did that, but as I kept reading, I understood more and more.Robey's life wasn't easy. His mom had to work all the time to pay the bills since his dad took off a while ago. That made Robey really sad and anxious a lot. I could relate because my parents fight sometimes and it's really hard when there's tension at home. Robey felt like he had to be perfect and never mess up so he wouldn't add any more stress to his mom's life. That's why he said no to stuff – he was scared to try new things in case he failed.But then Robey meets this really cool kid named Harmony who is totally different from him. Harmony says yes to everything! She'll try any new food, any new activity, you name it. I loved reading about how adventurous and brave Harmony was. She didn't let fear hold her back from experiencing all life has to offer.At first, Robey thinks Harmony is just weird. But eventually, her zest for life and positive attitude start rubbing off on him in the best way. Slowly but surely, Robey starts saying yes more andmore often. He says yes to joining the running club at school, yes to eating weird food like anchovies on pizza, yes to so many things he would have automatically said no to before.My favorite part was when Robey's mom noticed the changes in him and how much happier he seemed. She told him she was proud of him for being brave and trying new experiences instead of playing it safe all the time. That made me so happy for Robey! You could tell his mom's approval meant the world to him."Say Yes" taught me that it's okay to be scared sometimes, but you can't let fear rule your life. Robey realized that failing really isn't the end of the world, and at least if you try you'll never have remorse about missed opportunities. I've been a lot like Robey in always wanting to play it safe, but this book inspired me to be more like Harmony. Why not say yes to joining the basketball team, or signing up for that coding club? The worst that can happen is I don't love it, but at least I gave it a shot instead of wondering "what if."I also loved the message about not judging others before getting to know them. At first, Robey thought Harmony was just a weird, overly enthusiastic kid. But once he opened his mind, he realized what an amazing friend she was and how much innerstrength and courage she had. It reminds me to not make snap judgments about my classmates and to give everyone a chance. You never know who could become your best friend!Another big takeaway for me was about dealing with tough situations at home. Robey's homelife was really hard with his dad being gone and his mom overworked and stressed out. But Harmony showed him ways to look on the bright side, like appreciating all his mom did for their little family. It made me rethink how I look at my own family's struggles. Instead of getting mad when my parents fight, maybe I could have more empathy and realize they're doing the best they can.Overall, "Say Yes" is a book I'll never forget. It opened my eyes to how limiting the word "no" can be. From now on, I want to be someone who says yes to opportunity and doesn't let fear and anxiety hold me back. I'm going to be brave like Harmony, seize the day, and give my all to new experiences. Why not? You only live once! A big thanks to the author for writing such an inspiring story. Yes, yes, yes – that's my new motto!篇5Say Yes to Learning English - My ThoughtsI just finished reading this really cool book called "Say Yes" by a professor named Shonda Rhimes. It's all about learning English as a student in university today. I liked the book a lot and it made me think about English class in a whole new way!The first thing the book talks about is how English is not just another subject like math or science. English is a way for us to share our thoughts, feelings, and experiences with others through writing and speaking. The author says English lets us "find our voice" and express who we really are inside. That's a mindblower when you think about it!English class is where we get to practice using our voices through the assignments we do. We learn how to put our ideas into words, organize them clearly, and communicate them effectively, kind of like little authors or speakers. That's way more fun than just memorizing grammar rules and definitions from a textbook. The book has lots of creative examples of writing assignments that look engaging like podcasts, blogs, zines, and digital portfolios.Another big point is how reading and writing in English can connect us to different cultures, perspectives, and life experiences beyond our own. The author describes English as a "bridge" allowing us to understand and appreciate diversity.When we read diverse authors or share our own backgrounds through writing, it develops cultural awareness and empathy. Through English class, we're preparing to better navigate and contribute to our multilingual, globalized world.But the most interesting part to me is how the book portrays English as a "superpower" in today's world. Being skilled at communicating precisely and profoundly in both writing and speech is extremely valued in the modern workplace and society. Having a strong English voice allows you to advocate for important causes, pitch innovative ideas, or move people with inspiring words and stories. People with excellent English abilities have a major advantage for leadership, entrepreneurship, creativity, and problem-solving.That's very motivating because it shows why developing my English skills now as a student will pay off hugely later in life. The book provides tons of useful tips, from writing practice techniques to public speaking advice to recommended reading lists. It's like a playbook for taking my English voice to a whole new level.Overall, I'd absolutely recommend "Say Yes" to any student wanting to get inspired about learning English in today's world. It makes you realize English class isn't just about boring grammarlessons. It's a place for finding your voice, connecting to others, appreciating diversity, and gaining communication superpowers for future success.English is a bridge allowing adventures to new places, both real and imagined. It gives you a voice to share your unique thoughts and perspectives. It equips you with abilities to creatively express yourself and leave an impact. With reading, writing, speaking, and communication skills honed in English class, you can say "yes" to limitless personal and professional growth opportunities.So say yes to English! Say yes to unlocking your voice and harnessing your superpower. Who knows where your journey will lead with passion, practice, and an open mind? I'm definitely motivated after reading this book to give my best effort, get creative, and make the most of English class. Getting good at English is the key to so many possibilities. Let's say yes together!篇6Say Yes - A Book That Made Me ThinkMy name is Timmy and I am in 5th grade. My teacher Mrs. Jones had our class read this book called "Say Yes" by a French author named Audrey Diwan. At first, I wasn't too excited aboutreading it because it's a book about a girl in France who gets pregnant accidentally. As a 10-year-old kid, that sounded kind of boring to me. But Mrs. Jones said it was an important book that would make us think, so I decided to give it a chance.The book is about a college student named Anne who finds out she is pregnant. This happens in the 1960s when abortion was still illegal in France. Anne doesn't want to have the baby because she is too young and isn't ready to be a mom. But she also。
