His eyes searched my face for a long time. We sat there, two boys under a sour cherry tree, suddenly looking, really looking, at each other. That’s when it happened again: Hassan’s face changed. Maybe not _changed_, not really, but suddenly I had the feeling I was looking at two faces, the one I knew, the one that was my first memory, and another, a second face, this one lurking(潜藏) just beneath the surface. I’d seen it happen before--it always shook me up a little.It just appeared, this other face, for a fraction of(一小部分) a moment, long enough to leave me with the unsettling feeling that maybe I’d seen it someplace before.Then Hassan blinked and it was just him again. Just Hassan.

I dropped next to him, lay on a thin patch of snow, wheezing(喘气). “You’re wasting our time. It was going the other way, didn’t you see?” Hassan popped(取出) a mulberry(桑葚) in his mouth. “It’s coming,” he said. I could hardly breathe and he didn’t even sound tired. “How do you know?” I said. “I know.” “How can you know?” He turned to me. A few sweat beads(汗滴) rolled from his bald(光秃的) scalp(头皮). “Would I ever lie to you, Amir agha?” Suddenly I decided to toy with him a little. “I don’t know. Would you?”

Lore has it my father once wrestled a black bear in Baluchistan with his bare hands. If the story had been about anyone else, it would have been dismissed as "laaf", that Afghan tendency to exaggerate--sadly, almost a national affliction; if someone bragged that his son was a doctor, chances were the kid had once passed a biology test in high school. But no one ever doubted the veracity of any story about Baba. And if they did, well, Baba did have those three parallel scars coursing a jagged path down his back. I have imagined Baba's wrestling match countless times, even dreamed about it. And in those dreams, I can never tell Baba from the bear.It was Rahim Khan who first referred to him as what eventually became Baba's famous nickname, "Toophan agha", or "Mr. Hurricane."It was an apt enough nickname. My father was a force of nature, a towering Pashtun specimen with a thick beard, a wayward crop of curly brown hair as unruly as the man himself, hands that looked capable of uprooting a willow tree, and a black glare that would "drop the devil to his knees begging for mercy,?as Rahim Khan used to say. At parties, when all six-foot-five of him thundered into the room, attention shifted to him like sunflowers turning to the sun.Baba was impossible to ignore, even in his sleep. I used to bury cotton wisps in my ears, pull the blanket over my head, and still the sounds of Baba's snoring—so much like a growling truck engine—penetrated the walls. And my room was across the hall from Baba's bedroom. How my mother ever managed to sleep in the same room as him is a mystery to me. It's on the long list of things I would have asked my mother if I had ever met her.In the late 1960s, when I was five or six, Baba decided to build an orphanage. I heard the story through Rahim Khan. He told me Baba had drawn the blueprints himself despite the fact that he'd had no architectural experience at all. Skeptics had urged him to stop his foolishness and hire an architect. Of course, Baba refused, and everyone shook their heads indismay at his obstinate ways. Then Baba succeeded and everyone shook their heads in awe at his triumphant ways. Baba paid for the construction of the two-story orphanage, just off the main strip of Jadeh Maywand south of the Kabul River, with his own money. Rahim Khan told me Baba had personally funded the entire project, paying for the engineers, electricians, plumbers, and laborers, not to mention the city officials whose "mustaches needed oiling."重点精讲:wrestle v. 摔跤He wrestled his opponent to the floor/ground.他把对手摔倒在地上。

The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner

The Kite Runner《追风筝的人》的故事开始时12岁的阿富汗富家少爷阿米尔与仆人哈桑情同手足。

然而,在一场风筝比赛后,阿米尔目睹了发生在哈桑身上一件悲惨的事,阿米尔为自己的懦弱感到自责和痛苦,而不久哈桑也离开了。

不久阿富汗爆发战争,阿米尔被迫与父亲逃亡美国。

成年后的阿米尔始终无法原谅自己当年对哈桑的背叛。

为了赎罪,阿米尔再次回到故乡,展开了对自己的救赎。

哈桑,质朴,勇敢,心地善良。

他对顺从于阿米尔,阿米尔对于他不仅是主人,更是像兄弟一般最好的朋友。

他心中一直怀有宽容,默默包容着阿米尔对他的嘲讽,栽赃,甚至是躲在暗处的懦弱。

他甚至能在很多年之后骄傲地对儿子说阿米尔少爷是他最好的朋友。

但是阿米尔却不一样,性格存在缺陷,仗着哈桑对他的爱有恃无恐,却也亲手葬送了哈桑。

对阿米尔来说,哈桑可能只是拿不出手的普通朋友。

可能我们有时天真地以为,和自己认为的最好的朋友的友情可以天长地久,假如有一天需要他,他会无条件支持你,坚定地站在你身后。

但人总有一厢情愿的时候,到了那一天,原来他也只会袖手旁观。

而他没有对不起你,只是我们有时候会自作多情而已。

这个世界上,从来就没有一条法律规定,把某人视作最好的朋友,他就应该同样掏心掏肺地回报。

人大都是自私的。

现在有像哈桑这样有伟大情怀的人已十分罕见。

能与之媲美的唯有父母对子女无私的爱及在爱情里对爱慕对象真挚的爱。

但有些时候,即使对这两种爱也要打个问号。

珍惜身边的朋友,不要吝惜自己对他们的爱,不要在需要他们时才重视朋友的存在。

对朋友的付出总会有回报。

就像哈桑所说,贯穿全书的:为你,千千万万遍。

[转载]《追风筝的⼈》的英⽂简介原⽂地址:《追风筝的⼈》的英⽂简介作者:JaneThe Kite Runner---------------The Kite Runner is the first novel by Afghan-American author Khaled Hosseini. Published in 2003, it is the first novel published in English by an author from Afghanistan.---------------Plot introduction---------------The Kite Runner tells the story of Amir, a well-to-do Pashtun boy from the Wazir Akbar Khan district of Kabul, who is haunted by the guilt of betraying his childhood friend Hassan, the son of his father's Hazara servant. The story is set against a backdrop of tumultuous events, from the fall of the monarchy in Afghanistan through the Soviet invasion, the mass exodus of refugees to Pakistan and the United States, and the Taliban regime.---------------Plot summary---------------The novel is told by Amir, one of the novel’s main characters. Amir is an Afghan man living in Fremont, California remembering his childhood in Kabul in the 1970s.He begins his story in pre-civil war Afghanistan. He and his Hazara servant Hassan spend many hours per day together. One of the most cherished times spent together was when Amir would read stories to Hassan, under a pomegranate tree. Amir had a love for literature, a trait similar to his mother, who died while giving birth to him. However, this troubles his father ("Bābā," Persian for father), who tries to make Amir more like himself, active and courageous. Baba puts Amir on a soccer team and tries to teach him to defend himself, but fails with every attempt.Nevertheless, Amir continues to pursue his love for literature and eventually ends up composing his own short stories. Sadly, Amir’s father has almost no interest in his stories, although his business partner and friend to Amir, Rahim Khan, is full of praise.One day when Hassan and Amir are walking through Afghanistan, they come across Assef, a sociopathic bully known for his brass knuckles and his rancor towards Hazaras. He prepares to fight Amir and Hassan, but Hassan threatens to shoot out Assef’s left eye with his slingshot, saying they'll call him "one-eyed Assef." Before the daunted bully backs off he warns them that he will have his revenge.Assef's vow comes true during the day of Amir's favorite sport: "kite fighting". In this sport, children fly their kites and try to "slice" each other's kite. Amir wins the tournament, and Baba's praise, with his kite the last one flying, but when Hassan goes to fetch the last cut kite, a great trophy, Assef and two henchmen are there instead. Hassan tries to protect Amir's kite, but Assef beats Hassan and brutally rapes him. Amir hides and watches Hassan and is too scared to help him. Afterwards, Hassan becomes emotionally downcast. Amir knows why but keeps it a secret, and things are never the same between the two. After hearing a story from Rahim Khan, Amir decides it would be best for Hassan to go away. Amir frames Hassan as a thief but Baba forgives him, even though he admits to committing the crime - and despite the fact that Baba believes that "there is no act more wretched than stealing". Hassan and his father Ali, to Baba's extreme sorrow, decide that it's time to leave.A short while later, the Russians invade Afghanistan; Amir and Baba escape to Peshawar, Pakistan and then to Fremont, California. There, Amir, who grew up in an expensive mansion in Afghanistan, finds them a humble apartment and Baba begins to work at a gas station. Amir begins taking classes at a local community college to develop his writing skills. Every Sunday, Baba and Amir make extra money selling used goods at a flea market. There, Amir meets Soraya Taheri and her family and eventually marries her. The days are far from happy, however. Amir watches helplessly as Baba sickens and dies from lung cancer; shortly thereafter he and Soraya learn that they cannot have children.A year passes, and Amir embarks on a successful career as a novelist, and sells his first novel. After fifteen years, Amir receives a call from Rahim Khan, he says "there is a way to be good again" and flies to Pakistan to meet him. From Rahim Khan, Amir learns that Hassan and his wife were killed by the Taliban, and that Hassan was actually his illegitimate half-brother. The true reason that Rahim Khan has called Amir to Pakistan, however, is to go to Kabul to rescue Hassan's son, Sohrab, from an orphanage. Despite his anger at being deceived all his life, Amir agrees to go to Kabul to search for him. Amir returns to Taliban-controlled Kabul to search for Sohrab, who is supposedly in an orphanage. However, the corruptorphanage director has sold Sohrab as a slave to a Taliban official and executioner who dresses Sohrab in women's clothes and sexually abuses him. Amir sets an appointment with this man and meets him later. There he finds out that the Taliban official is actually Assef, whose epiphany (passing a kidney stone while being beaten in prison) led him to becoming Taliban. It is similar to Amir's, whose epiphany led him to be punished and to be good again. Assef agrees to relinquish Sohrab to Amir, but only if Amir can beat him in a fight to the death, with Sohrab as the prize. Assef brutally beats Amir and grievously injures him, and would soon kill him, but Amir is saved when Sohrab uses his slingshot to shoot out Assef's left eye, leaving him a "one-eyed Assef." While the guards are distracted with helping Assef, Sohrab and Amir escape.After recovering from his injuries, Amir offers to adopt Sohrab and take him back to America. However, when difficulties arise in adopting Sohrab from Afghanistan and Amir mentions that Sohrab would have to stay in an orphanage for a while, Sohrab, frightened from his previous brutal treatment, attempts suicide. Luckily, Amir finds Sohrab in time, saves him, and takes him back to the United States. However, Sohrab is emotionally damaged and refuses to speak. This continues until his frozen emotions are thawed when Amir begins kite flying. Amir shows off some of Hassan’s tricks, and Sohrab begins to interact with Amir again. In the end all the book says is that Sohrab only shows a lopsided smile, but Amir takes it with all his heart. Amir then runs the kite for Sohrab showing that he indeed is the real kite runner.---------------Characters---------------Amir – The protagonist of the novel who begins as a well-to-do Pashtun boy in monarchical Afghanistan and later migrates to America following the downfall of the monarchy. Amir is Hassan's half brother.Hassan -The son of Baba and Sanaubar, Ali and Sanaubar are married but Ali is barren; Amir's half brother.Assef – a bully from Amir's neighborhood in Kabul, antagonist, rapist (rapes Hassan and Sohrab)Baba – father of Amir and businessmanAli – Baba's servant and thought to be the father of Hassan at firstRahim Khan – Baba's business partner and best friend in AfghanistanSoraya – an Afghan woman living in Fremont, California; wife of AmirSohrab – The son of Hassan, Sohrab is a traumatized and abused orphan in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

Farid is Amir's means of transport when he returns to Afghanistan.Wahid – Farid's good-natured brother who listens to Amir's woeful taleKarim – The man who smuggles Amir and Baba out of Afghanistan---------------Reception---------------The novel was the third best seller for 2005 in the United States, according to Nielsen. BookScan. It was also voted 2006's reading group book of the year. Hosseini's first novel headed a list of 60 titles submitted by entrants to the Penguin/Orange Reading Group prize (UK).============================================The Kite Runner Summary(分章节简介)/The_Kite_Runner。

You had servants, probably Hazaras.

He told me Baba had drawn the blueprints himself despite the fact that he'd had no architectural experience at all. Skeptics had urged him to stop his foolishness and hire an architect. Of course, Baba refused, and everyone shook their heads indismay at his obstinate ways. Then Baba succeeded and everyone shook their heads in awe at his triumphant ways. Baba paid for the construction of the two-story orphanage, just off the main strip of Jadeh Maywand south of the Kabul River, with his own money. Rahim Khan told me Baba had personally funded the entire project, paying for the engineers, electricians, plumbers, and laborers, not to mention the city officials whose "mustaches needed oiling."重点精讲:wrestle v. 摔跤He wrestled his opponent to the floor/ground.他把对手摔倒在地上。
