One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓),they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(挤)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite(咬)the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”The others thought for a while and said:“That was why!”
A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.”Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.
A Japanese said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.”Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked:“Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship? ”
Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and remained speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship.Instead, it is based on no relationship.
这个故事,是我在一份中考试卷上看到的,讲的是在危险来临时,一只老鼠帮助另一只瞎老鼠逃生的故事,然后就有许多人谈论两只老鼠的关系,有人说是国王和侍卫,有人说是妻子和丈夫,也有人说是母亲和孩子。我其实也在想这两只老鼠到底是什么关系。但一个人问得好啊
“Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship? ”
为什么这两只老鼠一定有关系呢,难道就不能是陌生的关系吗。我第一感觉也觉得自己想的有些狭隘。确实,动物之间也是可以互相帮助的。当我读第二遍时,我在看是哪些国家的官员发表的哪些看法。却发现美国·法国·日本这些资本主义国家的官员认为它们必须有关系,也可以理解,在某些西方国家,人与人之间确实有一些冷漠。但让我有些震惊的是说“Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship? ”的是Chinese。我并不是说中国人怎么怎么样,但其实现在的中国人,尤其是陌生的中国人,在别人遇到危险时,会毫不犹豫相救的一定不多,也有吧,要不然四川地震也不会有那么多的英雄出现,但显然这部人是很少数的存在。包括现在学校也在教育,救人要在不威胁自己生命情况下才可以。这篇充满人文气息的文章就将动物那种在危难前不放弃自己的同伴的真挚情感描绘了出来,我其实还是很感动的,虽然是老鼠,只是两只老鼠,但
true love is not built on friendship, loyalty or blood relationship.Instead, it is based on no relationship. “真正的爱不以友谊、忠诚抑或是血缘关系为前提,事实上,真正的爱,是无条件的博爱”说的真的很好。
这只是我个人的一些观念,在读完这篇文章后的一些不算深刻的想法。
