Book’s name: Gulliver’s Travels
Author’s name: Jonathan Swift
The book was published by Tsinghua University Press
(2008.5)
Abstract
1.The country round appear like a continued garden;and the enclosed fields, which were generally forty feet square ,resembled so beds of flowers.These fields were intermingled with woods of half a stag , and the tallest trees , as I could judge , appeared to be seven feet.I viewed the town on my left hand , which looked the painted scene of a city in a theatre.2.However I made a shift to creep on all four , and shelter myself , by lying flat on my face on the lee-side of a border of lemon thyme , but so bruised from head to foot , that I could not go abroad in ten days.3.Add to all this , the pleasure of seeing the various
revolution of states and empires;the changes in the lower and upper world
4.Doubting or not believing, are so little known in this country , that the inhabitants cannot tell how to behave themselves under such circumstances.5.In the trial of persons accused for crimes against the State , the method is much more short and commendable : the judge sends to second the disposition of those in power;after which he can easily hang or save the criminal , strictly persevering all forms of low.Recently I read a book called Gulliver’s Travels.In the book, Gulliver came across many wonderful experiences.He went to some isolated societies where he met different kinds of creatures.Rebellion as Gulliver was , he was unwilling to follow in his father’s step, to be a famous doctor.What he liked was to travel and adventure at the sea.By a chance , he found a job on a ship , then he began his adventure.Unfortunately, the ship ran into a strong
storm ,and all the people sunk into the water.Another day , Gulliver came to himself on a beach.However , to his surprise , he was tied down to the ground with small ropes, a lot of tiny person walking around him.Later he knew that this country was called Lilliput.After Gulliver’s endeavor , citizens in this country began to like him.What’s more , he acquainted himself with the king and some officials.In the meanwhile , Gulliver helped to defeat the enemy , put off a big fire , teach the tiny people.However , Gulliver’s second adventurehappened in a giant country.In this country ,was much bigger than Gulliver had met.Certainty this bring damager to him.At first he nearly became the child’s dessert , then one night , he got into trouble again.He defeated two enormous rats only with his tiny sword.In the following days Gulliver lived under a frightened life , for every creature here could threat his life.Different from the former countries , Gulliver entered a country at his third adventure, where horses were the directors ,the creatures similar to men were severed as slaves…
I spent many weeks finishing the book.The plot
attracted me so much that that I can clearly remember the story when I close the book.What’s more, through the knowledge of the author’s background ,I also learn a lot under the words.For instance , the plot that the tiny people break out a war just for a ridiculous reason reflects on the reality.At that age ,people who had power and wealth tried to gain whatever they want without thinking of other’s feelings.Besides, this book reveals people’s evil character.The creatures in Houyhnhnms is the epitome of people who are cruel, crazy and inferior.As far as I am concerned, if man continue to behave like today , maybe in the future , other high creatures will appear, like the giant ,the horse in the book, to direct the world ,at that time man suffer misery what they had ever composed on others.
篇2：格列佛游记英语书评
寒假里，我读了英国作家乔纳森·斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》，小说以辛辣的讽刺与幽默、离奇的想象和夸张，描述了酷爱航海冒险的格列佛，四度周游世界，经历了大大小小惊险而有趣的奇遇。
格列佛历险的第一地是小人国。在那里，他一只手能拖动整支海军舰队，一餐饭要吞吃一大批鸡鸭牛羊外加许多桶酒。小人国的人为了把他这个庞然大物运到京城，动用了五百工匠，无数绳索，九百个“大汉”，一万五千匹高大的御马等等。在如此的一个微缩国度里，所有的政争和战事都不免显得渺小委琐。党派之争以鞋跟高低划分阵营，“高跟党”与“低跟党”你争我斗，势不两立；相邻的国家不但想战胜并奴役对方，还要争论吃鸡蛋应敲哪头之类鸡毛蒜皮的“原则”问题。
而后，格列佛又来到了大人国，他与大人国国王的一段对话，不仅构成对英国的批评，也展示了两种不同的思路，并使它们互为评议。
在这本书里给我印象最深的是：1710年格列佛泛舟北美，访问了荒岛上的慧因国，结识了仁慈、诚实和友善的慧因。在慧因国的语言中没有“撒谎”和“欺骗”这样的字眼，人们更不理解它的含义。他们不懂什么叫“怀疑”、什么是“不信任”，在他们的国度里一切都是真实的、透明的。
我很羡慕文中的主人公有幸能到慧因国，慧因国是我们所追求和向往的理想境地，在这里你不需顾虑别人说话的真假，而在现实中，有着太多我们不愿看到的事情发生：有人用花言巧语骗取别人的血汗钱、有人拐卖儿童谋取暴利、有人甚至为了金钱牺牲自己的一切。难怪我们的老师、长辈从小就教育我们要提高警惕，不要上当受骗。这与我们提倡的帮助他人、爱护他人是很难统一的。当我遇到有困难的人，要伸出援助之手时，我迟疑；当有人替我解围时，我不敢接受。这些都让我内心感到痛苦、矛盾，无所适从。既妨碍了我去“爱”别人，同时也错过了别人的“爱”，这难道不是一种悲哀吗？我期盼着有一天我们的社会也像慧因国，孩子们的眼中不再有疑虑，教育与现实是统一的。我愿为此付出努力，也希望大家与我一道，从自己做起，从现在开始做起，让这个社会多一点真诚、少一点虚伪。
篇3：英语学术书评的情态隐喻研究
英语学术书评是英语学术界进行学术交流, 探析学术成果的重要工具, 也是对一本书的写作技巧、理论观点以及社会价值等方面的评价。正如海兰德 (Hyland, 1996:43) 所说“书评对学科建设和学术团体的融合作用巨大”。但对学术书评的研究长期以来并未得到足够的重视。本文以英语学术书评为语料, 以系统功能语言学中的情态隐喻为理论框架, 探讨情态隐喻在英语学术书评中的意义。
二、情态隐喻简介
功能语言学认为, 语言具有概念功能、人际功能和语篇功能。其中, 人际功能指说话人用语言表达自己的态度, 并影响听者的态度和行为, 主要由语气系统和情态系统来体现。其中, 语气系统的功能是表达说话人希望通过讲话所达到的目的。情态系统则表示语言使用者本人对事物认识的估量和不确定性, 是说话人表达自己对命题和建议的态度和主观判断, 主要是由情态动词和情态副词来体现, 但这并不是表达情态的唯一方式。因为除了“一致式”表达之外, 名词、形容词、介词短语、动词词组等相应的不同结构都可以是情态意义的体现形式, 这类转换生成现象在功能语法中被称为“情态隐喻”。
功能语言学认为, 一种形式可以表示一种以上的意义, 反之一种意义也可以由两种或更多的形式体现 (黄国文, 1999) 。这种形式与意义之间并非一一对应的关系, 反映在情态上, 就可能出现一致性体现之外的情态隐喻现象。按照Halliday (Ravelli, 1988) 的语法隐喻模式, 隐喻选择增加了语义特征, 隐喻被看做语义特征的结合体。这样, 诸如“I think”, “It’s likely”, “It’s certain that”等用语都是情态的表达方式。Halliday (1994) 指出, 决定每一种情态意义如何体现的是情态的取向系统。情态取向可分为四种:明确主观, 非明确主观, 明确客观, 非明确客观, 系统功能语法认为, 明确的主观取向和明确的客观取向都是隐喻式, 以命题的形式来表达情态, 即由小句来表达。在明确主观取向中, 体现情态意义的小句常常表达一个认知心理过程 (如:I believe, I think等) , 以强调说话人的主观看法, 使其对所做的判断或提议负有明确的情态责任;在明确客观取向中, 体现情态意义的小句通常表达了一个修饰性的关系过程 (如:It seems that, It’s likely等) , 目的在于使说话者的断言似乎不再是一种个人观点, 而是一个固有特征, 为本来只是一个看法的东西增添客观确定性, 从而隐藏了情态来源, 以远离相应的情态责任。Halliday (1994) 将广义的情态系统分为表示可能性和经常性的情态化 (modalization) 和表示义务和意愿的意态化 (modulation) , 并且将它们把语言与功能联系起来。
不难发现, 情态意义的一致式表达更容易理解和运用, 但同时它也太简单直接、单位信息量不大。情态隐喻式这一语言运用手段可以弥补一致式的不足, 它能通过转换生成将信息按照一定的情态责任进行合理配置, 以在语篇中起到特定的语用功能。
三、实例分析
英语学术书评是对英语学术作品的学术价值公开地衡其是非, 扬优汰劣的判断其价值。其中书作者、书评作者、真实读者、潜在读者等都参与其互动, 这就要求书评作者从人际因素的角度出发作充分细致的考虑。作为学术语篇的一个分类, 书评必须是客观的、真实的, 然而书评又具有辩论性和评价性的特征, 因此个人主观看法也是必然存在的。同时为了体现对书作者的尊重或遇到不宜直接陈述的观点时, 书评作者也会求助一定的表达方式, 使之语言含糊不确定。
本文选取了五篇学术书评, 一篇出自Applied Liguistics, 4篇出自Journal of Linguistics, 以此为语料, 分析了这些学术述书评中情态隐喻的使用情况。
书评情态隐喻使用表
如上表所示, 情态隐喻的使用在书评中广泛存在, 在98个句子中出现15句, 占总句数的15%, 其中主观情态隐喻的使用比客观情态隐喻更为频繁, 分别为9句和6句。
1. 客观性的需要。
如前所述, 学术书评必须是客观, 真实的。书评作者为了达到这一目的, 客观情态隐喻是很好的选择, 通过使用非人称主语的表达方式, 情态就被扮演成一个具有某种属性的命题, 掩盖了情态的真实来源, 强调了书评作者对事物判断的客观化。如:
It is clear that this is a highly interesting and very readable book, which offers a wealth of intriguing examples of language contact and some very lucid analyses.
Journal of Linguistics March2005, 190
上句中, 书评作者评价这是一本非常有趣, 值得一读的书, 表达的是书评作者个人的看法, 目的是向读者推荐这本书, 但他前面用了一个关系小句It is clear that, 让人觉得这本书有趣是一个客观事实, 这时书评作者降低了所评价内容真实性的承诺, 不需要对所说的内容负全部责任, 就可避免读者潜在的批评, 其观点和判断更容易被接受。
2. 强调作者的主观性。
在学术书评中, 书评作者需要阐述自己的观点, 判断和评价, 使用主观情态隐喻能清楚地告诉读者这是书评作者个人的观点、判断。同时, 作为学术团体的成员, 书评作者享有隐含的权威, 有权告诉读者什么是好的什么是不好的, 因此展示了书评作者的权威性。
In sum, I am sure this book will provide scholars, teachers, students and readers with valuable insights which will spark further interest in the field of phonological acquisition.
Journal of Linguistics March 2005, 217
由此句可以看出, 书评作者确信这本书会给读者提供有价值的见解, I am sure的使用突出了作者个人的主观看法和评价, 清楚表达了一个书评作者的判断和评价, 语言明确不含糊, 显示了学术界人士的权威性。
四、结束语
综上所述, 情态意义表达有一致式和非一致式之分, 情态隐喻是情态意义的非一致式表达, 它极大地扩展了英语学术书评的语义内涵。本文分析了情态隐喻在英语学术书评中的使用情况, 发现情态隐喻在英语学术书评中普遍存在, 其中主观情态隐喻的出现频率高于客观情态隐喻, 二者在学术书评中有其特定的意义和功能。领会并掌握书评这一特点能提高理解英语学术书评的水平和书评写作能力, 对广大读者具有积极而深远的意义。

篇4：礼貌原则在英语学术书评中的体现
书评，作为对出版作品进行评价的工具，越来越引起学术界的重视。前人曾经从它的体裁特点、评价策略、人际情态意义、讲究礼貌、语类结构等角度进行过研究。本文拟以面子理论为框架，详细探讨英文学术书评作者是通过何种手段来实现维护面子的目的的。
二、对书评的探讨
书评是评论者对作品内容的批判性评价，它的目的在于介绍和评论某一作品的内容。书评是潜在的威胁作者或读者面子的一种文学体裁，它不仅反映书评者对所评书目的个人观点，而且还反映他处理人际关系的技巧 (Hyland, 2000)。
从这个概念中我们得知书评有两个基本要点：介绍和评价。评论者不仅要回答是什么的问题，还要回答怎么样的问题。通常的做法是用二分之一到三分之二的篇幅来总结作者的主要观点，至少用三分之一的篇幅做出评价。作评者写好书评需要一定的交际技巧，需要维护作者、读者及自己的面子。
三、西方社会中的礼貌现象评述
礼貌是在任何文化中都普遍存在的极其平常的一种社会现象。自1978年Brown和Levinson发表了《语言使用中的普遍原则:礼貌现象》一文后，礼貌现象引发了诸多社会语言学家、人类学家和语用学家们的关注。他们从各个不同的角度出发对这一现象作了大量的实证研究和理论探讨。其中影响最大的是Brown和Levinson提出的面子理论和Leech提出的礼貌原则。
（一）B&L的“面子理论”
B&L在1978年提出的“面子理论”是建立在Goffman’s的面子理论基础上的。面子对每一个人来说是最神圣的、不可侵犯的。他们认为所有理性的社会成员都具有面子，他们根据个人需要把面子分为两类:消极面子,即个人拥有行动自由、不受干涉的权利；积极面子,即个人的正面形象或“个性”，包括希望这种自我形象受到赞许的愿望，这个定义是以西方文化中重视个人价值观念为基础的。
通常情况下，交际双方会通过彼此合作维护对方的面子，但现实生话中难免有不少潜在的威胁面子的行为, 当这种情况发生时，为减轻威胁面子的程度，需要采取一些补偿措施，即礼貌策略。禮貌策略分为积极礼貌策略和消极礼貌策略。前者是指在进行威胁面子行为时采取补偿行动，对受话人的积极面子加以保护，具体做法有表示赞扬、赞同等。消极礼貌即采取补偿行动使受话人的消极面子加以保护，具体做法有使用疑问句、过去时、缓冲语、歉语等。
（二）Leech提出的礼貌原则
英国语言学家Leech在1983年提出了礼貌原则的六条准则：
①策略准则：尽量减少他人付出的代价，尽量增大对他人的益处。②慷慨准则：尽量减少对自己的益处，尽量增大自己付出的代价。③赞扬准则：尽量缩小对他人的批评，尽量增加对他人的赞扬。④谦虚准则：尽量缩小对自己的标榜，尽量夸大对自己的批评。⑤赞同准则：尽量缩小与他人的不同意见，尽量增加与他人相同的意见。⑥同情准则：尽量缩小对他人的厌恶，尽量扩大对他人的同情。
四、礼貌原则在英语学术批评中的体现
既然书评会潜在地威胁面子，那么作评者就需要从人际关系的角度作全面地考虑，既要做出正确可观的评价，又要创造一个和谐友好的对话氛围，避免过分威胁作者的面子。
学术书评是对一本书的质量、学术水平、理论观点以及实用价值等方面进行的评价，它必然会涉及到面子问题（李经纬，1996）。根据Leech的观点，遵循赞扬准则和赞同准则, 是对作者积极面子的维护。批评和建议属于负面评价，是对作者和评论者面子的侵害，但是没有哪一个学者的观点会绝对地正确或是文章写得确实无懈可击，所以学术批评是不可避免的。正是学术批评促进了学术繁荣和学术进步。为了解决既要提出批评又要保护作者和评论者的面子这一矛盾，作评者必须采取必要的礼貌策略。当然，由于西方人的坦率的特点，不拐弯抹角，直截了当地指出缺点和不足在英语书评中比较常见。在他们看来，有批判的眼光，有不同的见解往往被看成是有思想、有见地、有创造性的表现（柳淑芬，2005），这不属于本文的研究范围，本文主要关注的是当书评者进行负面评价时，为减弱威胁面子行为的侵害程度，保持人际关系的和谐所采取的修饰性的策略以及作评者对作者进行的正面赞扬。
以下是笔者从2006年出版的Applied Linguistic和The Modern Language Journal中随机选取的例子以及对它们进行的归类分析。
(1) Much of the analysis of King’s speeches and sermons is valuable. However, the term ‘messianic’ is misleading.
(2) The instructor’s manual in both series could be improved with the addition of more specific strategies. Nevertheless, the variety and wealth of activities make these booklets a useful and attractive supplement to any language.
(3) Despite its shortcomings, Stone’s volume is the richest in the number and range of its entries in all categories.
(4) The introduction is easy to understand, but at times it is not sufficiently detailed or explicit.
在上述四个例子中，书评者采用了表示转折关系或让步关系的副词或连词要么对作者先表扬后批评，要么先批评后表扬，减弱了赤裸裸的批评给作者所造成积极面子的侵害程度。在笔者所调查的书评中，类似上述这种褒贬结合的批评在负面评价中所占的比例最大。如：
(5) Although the careful reader may find somewhat redundant…such a schema meets Coppola’s didactic purpose and facilitates subsequent referencing.
(6) In its separation of the spoken and written textual components, it may well prove to be another alternative for the teacher struggling to find materials appropriate for the large Chinese learner population in the USA.
may作为一个表示可能性的情态动词，语气相对缓和。用于负面评价时，可以避免对作者的直接批评，一定程度上维护了作者的积极面子，如例(5)。
用于正面评价时，同样可以使语气得到缓和，避免把自己的看法强加给读者，增加了书评内容的可接受性，在维护作者和读者面子的同时也维护了自己的面子，如例(6)。再如：
(7) The treatment of prepositions could have been better integrated into the Noun Group section.
(8) This volume covers an impressive ground in terms of periods, authors and approaches, yet in a few instances one would expect to encounter more recent sources.
(9) In a discussion of speech acts, almost two pages are dedicated to a lengthy passage from one of Ibsen’s plays, when a much shorter sequence might have sufficed.
在一定语境下，使用情态动词可以减弱语言的批评力量（Perkins, 1983）。could, would , might作为can, will, may的过去时，其语气更加缓和且更带有试探性。它们的使用也是为了避免与作者的正面交锋，增加了批评的可协商性。使用这些情态动词有时表明作评者因缺乏权威不便非常肯定地提出批评或对该评价模棱两可，为了回应来自读者潜在的质疑而采取的保全双方面子的措施，有时也表示承认与分歧立场对话的可能性，为对话协商提供一个更宽松的环境。如：
(10) A small drawback is that the English translations in the book seem to need some polish.
(11) There are some small typographical errors throughout, making sentences at times a little difficult to understand.
(12) The title of the volume is somewhat misleading.
(13) These, however, were minor points that one should expect from software.
在以上幾个例子中，书评者通过使用seem, a little, somewhat, minor等模糊语，使他们的观点更具有说服力和可接受性。
(14) One seeking the precise Latin for the injunction against arguing about taste would not find this…
(15) It is much to be welcomed that both of these books make a substantial…in content.
(16) It is taken for granted in several papers that rationalist positions equal…
在上述例中，作评者使用了表示泛指意义的one 和非人称主语引导的句子，让读者去评论，让事实自己说话，可以避免因评论不当而招致的批评，同时也开脱了自己的责任，保护了作评者的面子。
(17) It strikes me that more careful editing was necessary to aid coherence and consistency throughout the book.
一般过去时除了表示在过去某个时间发生的事或存在的状态外，还可表示礼貌地提出建议。
(18) This volume, offers a comprehensive description and analysis of FLT in China, on the basis of up-to-date domestic and international research.
(19) The overall aim of Linguistic and the Language of Translation is admirable and a work of its kind is indeed much needed.
(20) It will provide a clearer understanding of the nature of thoughts, beliefs and values. The result is at least interesting and more often than not richly illuminating.
在以上三例中，作评者用大量的褒义词语对作者进行公开赞扬，一方面显示了自己作为评论者的权威，维护了自己的面子；另一方面又肯定了作者在学术领域所作的贡献，承认了作者的个人价值，维护了作者的积极面子。
综上所述，作评者在评论中除了通过正面评价来保护作者的积极面子外，还通过使用褒贬结合的批评方式、情态动词、模糊语、表示泛指意义的one、非人称主语句和一般过去时等维护作者或读者的面子。
五、结束语
本文只是粗浅地谈论了英语学术书评中使用的礼貌策略，希望有利于加深人们对学术书评这一特殊文学体裁的认识，以引发更多相关的讨论。

篇5：《西游记》读书心得感慨与书评
这本书讲述的是：“齐天大圣”孙悟空出世，遇到了唐僧，拜他为师，跟他一起去西方取经。在路途中，他们先后遇到了高老庄的猪八戒，流沙河的沙和尚和白龙潭的白龙马。他们一路斩妖除魔、除恶务尽，让人们不再心惊胆战。他们最终取得了真经，回到长安，把大乘佛法广宣流布。
这本书里故事多多，趣味非凡。书中我特别喜欢“三打白骨精”这一段，它讲了唐僧师徒，遇见了白骨精后，白骨精欲吃唐僧肉，于是乔装打扮，先扮成美貌的村姑假装给师徒送去斋饭，却不料被孙悟空的火眼金睛识破，便被一棒打死。白骨精不甘心，再次扮成年老八旬的婆婆，却再被识破一棒打死。唐僧见自己的徒弟无缘无故打死两个人，便责怪悟空。悟空解释，唐僧不听，反而说：“胡说!这明明是人，你打死人还不承认!”说完便对悟空念起了紧箍咒，想让他长一点记性。狡猾的白骨精有一次乔装打扮，被悟空又一次挥棒打死，唐僧见此，把悟空赶回了花果山。
故事中，我觉得白骨精十分阴险，而且诡计多端。而唐僧则是十分善良、胆小。孙悟空是那么的机智、勇敢、聪明。如果当时唐僧要能相信徒弟悟空的话，悟空也不会被赶回花果山，那唐僧也不会被抓走了。当然这些都是后话啦。
从这本书中，我体会到了：唐僧师徒四人去西天取经的路上苦难、困难种种都有，但他们依然一路坚持地走下去，终于功夫不负有心人，取得了真经。我觉得他们这种精神十分值得我们去学习。看着这本书，我不禁想起了我练琴的时候，每每当我拉琴时，会有地方停顿，而且还有点不熟练。每当这时候，我就放弃了，大声喊：“我不想练琴了，烦死人了!”但当我看过西游记这一本书后，回想起自己练琴，不禁羞愧的低下头，在心里暗暗对自己说：“我也要有这种坚持不懈、永不放弃的精神!加油!我能行!”如今，功夫不负有心人，我从拉琴这一路途中，获得了许多荣誉。
篇6：《老残游记》的读书笔记个人书评
如书中关于大明湖的描写，令我印象深刻：
到了铁公祠前，朝南一望，只见对面千佛山上，梵宇僧楼，与那苍松翠柏，高下相间，红的火红，白的雪白，青的靛青，绿的碧绿，更有哪一株半株丹枫夹在里面，仿佛宋人赵千里的一幅大画，做了一架数十里长的屏风……
这是静，就是一幅画，是如此的和谐与安详，光是颜色的词儿，就有十一个，而绿色就有三个：苍翠、绿、碧。
苍劲的绿给人以无限岁月和历练的想象，一阵疾风吹来，树枝轻轻摇，正见树枝苍叶，晃出阵阵林涛，枝怒吼，风狂嚎，摇得苍叶上下翻，却不嬉笑。
翠柏与苍松相映，翠柏更富有活力，鲜艳的衣装而清雅，连袈裟都逊色几分，香客拜佛，也会偷窥春色。
碧绿如翡翠，耀眼闪人心，誓与皇家色一较高下，却不知深入凡世红尘中。
……正在叹赏不绝，忽听一声渔唱。低头看去，谁知那大明湖业已澄净的同镜子一般;那千佛山的倒影映在湖里，显得明明白白;那楼台树木，格外光彩，觉得比上头的一个千佛山还要好看，还要清楚。
有声有景，分明一幅动态画，虽不如上段色调繁多，却也清新雅致，那一声渔唱，虽未听过，但在耳边响彻。
篇7：格列佛游记英语书评
Tuesday with Morrie by Mitch Albom-Review Written as an appeal to the salvation of soul, Tuesday with Morrie is an incredible treasure to the mankind.This book is published in the U.S.in 2006.This is a book about “the life’s greatest lessons” between a young man and an old man, the true experience of Mitch and his respecting professor.Regardless of their close friendship on the campus, Mitch, who “had become too wrapped up in the siren song of his own life”(Mitch, 2006, p.33)stayed out of touch with his teacher after graduation until it comes to the last moment, when Morrie was terminally sick.Due to a great coincidence, they reunited thankfully and Morrie brought back the true feelings in the dust-laden heart of Mitch.They started fourteen extraordinary lessons, during which they discussed the simple but ultimate issues of life.These lessons are sure to make the most important course one has to take.The words flow gently through people’s minds like a warm stream with twinkling sprays of thoughts.With the main lessons presented in a natural, plain dialogue mode, it reads entirely relaxed.Readers are absorbed into the scene, talking face-to-face with Morrie, asking the same questions that disturb them so much and gain spiritual enhancement over and over again.And it is not simply an aggregation of the conversations they have made.The structure is exquisitely designed with the main lessons and the backgrounds appearing alternatively.It remains intriguing and the coordination of the two parts make the affection it created far more impressed and long-lasting.In addition to helping people reconsider the real content and the significance of love, it is a terrific journey where readers are confronted directly with the death.There is no doubt that the mightiest part of the book is the combination of love and death.The two concepts have striking contrast but both contribute to the return of people’s soul.With death drawing near, people tend to think more and deeper.It is the best time for one to look back, evaluating his or her life in a completely different way.When people know they are bound to die, they are no longer engaged in the trifles around, they are no longer bothered by the huge appetite they have got for everything.And the material world just seems unimportant;they only want company and mental comfort from others.It is the only time that almost every human being can reexamine himself and knows the true feelings inside him.De.Montaigne and Steve Jobs have both spoken highly of the particular state of mind called “being-towards-death”.For them，being-towards-death means one can truly get rid of the daily routines and decide what really matters for him or her as well as the people around.And that is what makes this series of chicken soup a milestone in history.Another highlight is that Mitch faced up to himself bravely.It is estimable for him to spoke out his faults, revealing the cold, indifferent figure of himself.This big contrast and the great change of Mitch present people an overwhelming affection and drive people to reflect on themselves.As a book to refresh people’s soul, Tuesday with Morrie is absolutely perfect.The warmth of love and the depth of thought shock everybody.There is one little flaw, though.At the end of the book, it puts “Have you ever really had a teacher…If you are lucky enough to find your way to such teachers, you will always find your way back.”(Mitch, 2006, p.192)Yet actually, unfair as the life is, quite few individuals can expect to have such enormous fortune to come across such a great mind in their life.For the majority, they are more likely to gain constant power from their inner world.It would be better if the author could express this idea in another way or maybe propose a more common method for the ordinary to create their own culture.At least it may not be so wisea to owe this too much to his teacher.Though this is also a book in memorial to Morrie, it is more crucial to pass on.And Morrie would be glad to see so, wouldn’t he? This may probably make the impact of the book more sustainable, not just a transitory passion, but a continuous one.Tuesday with Morrie is a profoundly heart-warming book which enables us to explore our love and inner passion.The unembarrassed love between Mitch and Morrie is to touch everyone, making us feel ashamed when we hold back our true feelings, making us feel guilty when we drop our dreams and stimulating us to love and gain the courage to say that our culture is wrong.And the reexamination of these beautiful concepts in the view of death pushes us to embrace our life and create our own culture.References：
