"Gone with the Wind" is a work that American female writer Margaret Mitchell has devoted ten years of hard work to complete, with profound ideological connotations and artistic value. The novel is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and depicts multiple characters with distinct personalities. Scarlett, who is full of youthful vitality, eloquent, sociable, capricious, and even slightly selfish, Red, who is smart, humorous, insightful, smooth yet romantic, Ashley, who is honest, brave, loyal and decisive, and Melanie, who is kind and skilled, all leave a deep impression on people.The one that left the deepest impression on me was the protagonist Scarlett in the novel. She has many advantages and obvious disadvantages. What impressed me the most was when she faced a series of setbacks such as the death of her mother, the mental disorder of her father, and the almost desperate situation of her home. As a young lady who had been pampered since childhood, a powerful force was ignited in her heart. She said, "God is my witness, I will not surrender. I will overcome this difficulty. I will never go hungry again.".No, neither do my family. Even if I were to lie, steal, deceive, kill, as God witnesses, I would never go hungry again In the latter half of the novel, she sacrifices herself for the sake of her family and bravely takes on the responsibility of maintaining the family, demonstrating the resilience and courage of a female character, which I greatly admire. No matter how difficult the situation may be in the depths, I must bravely face it and everything will pass. This is the most meaningful enlightenment Scarlett in Gone with the Wind has given me.
翻譯:《飄》是美國女作家瑪格麗特·米切爾傾注十年心血完成的一部具有深刻思想內(nèi)涵和藝術(shù)價值的作品。小說以美國南北戰(zhàn)爭為背景,刻畫了多個個性鮮明的角色,充滿青春活力、能言善道、善于交際、任性、甚至稍有自私的斯嘉麗,聰明幽默、眼光獨到、圓滑又不失浪漫情懷的瑞德,正直勇敢、忠誠果敢的阿希禮,善良嫻熟的玫蘭妮等,每個人物都給人留下了深刻的印象。
其中給我印象最深的還是小說的主角斯嘉麗,她身上的優(yōu)點很多,缺點也很明顯。讓我感觸最深的是當(dāng)她遭遇到母親去世、父親精神失常、家園陷入幾近絕境等一系列打擊之后,作為一個從小養(yǎng)尊處優(yōu)的大小姐,她內(nèi)心深處卻激發(fā)出了一股強大的力量,她說道:“上帝為我作證,我是不會屈服的,我要度過這難關(guān)。我再也不要挨餓了。
不要,我的家人也不要。即使讓我去撒謊,去偷,去騙,去殺人,上帝作證,我也不要再挨餓了。”在小說的后半部,她為了家人,不惜犧牲自己,堅強地擔(dān)負起了維護家族的責(zé)任,表現(xiàn)出了女性性格中的那種堅韌與勇氣,這讓我非常敬佩。無論深處多么艱難的境遇,都要勇敢地去面對,一切都會過去,這是《飄》里的斯嘉麗給我最有意義的啟迪。
