馬克吐溫著的短篇小說《百萬英鎊》是一部很好的作品.文章對“金錢就是一切”“金錢是萬能的”的想法進(jìn)行了諷刺,揭穿了資本主義社會的丑惡面容.
《百萬英鎊》是講一個貧窮、誠實(shí)的人,也就是這個故事的主人公收到了一對兄弟的信,信里面送給了他一百萬英鎊.原來這對兄弟打了一個賭,賭如果一個貧窮、誠實(shí)的人收到天上掉下的一百萬英鎊,他會有怎樣的結(jié)果?哥哥認(rèn)為他會餓死,因?yàn)樗麩o法證明這些錢是他自己的,會受到別人的懷疑,連銀行都不會讓他存錢.弟弟則認(rèn)為他會過得很好,于是他們兄弟倆將一百萬英鎊的支票借給了這個貧窮的人,并出國呆了三十天.沒想到在這段時間內(nèi),人們對這位突然暴富的罕見富翁,竟拼命地拉攏他,從免費(fèi)吃飯,買衣服,到免費(fèi)住宿,一個個像乞丐一樣討好他,并不斷提高他的社會地位,一直到了除王室外最高的公爵之上!不光如此,他還得到了一位好妻子和三萬英鎊的銀行利息,最后還從兩兄弟那兒得到了一份很好的工作.過著非常非常幸福的生活.
看到這兒,我很羨慕這位如此“幸運(yùn)”的主人公,但同時我又想：人們之所以討好他,不就是因?yàn)楫?dāng)時人們太看重金錢了嗎?拜金主義是可恥的,不勞而獲更不應(yīng)該!金錢不是萬能的,世界上還有許多比金錢更重要的東西……
Mark Twain's short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society.
"One million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the heroine of this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other people's doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000 pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good job. Lived a very, very happy life.
See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" the heroine, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things ... ...贊同2| 評論
