从小我就在书里寻找能代表理想、能作为楷模，并且能成为我发展前景的女主角——其中几位反映出隐藏在我内心深处、不为人知的自我，另一些则为我指出崭新的方向，告诉我一个女人（只要她敢！）通过努力可能成为的那种人。今天的我就是由南希·德鲁、乔·马奇、简·爱、希斯克利夫的灵魂伴侣凯茜，以及其他一些虚构的女性人物塑造而成，她们的魅力、人格、勇气都曾是我审视自己的标准。

我重读这其中的一些书，想看看自己是否仍然理解这些女主角当年对我的巨大影响。我发现我仍然理解。

……

然而，娜塔莎、简、乔、凯茜、南希以及布莱特——她们个个都曾与我进行过心灵交流，并深深打动了我。在成为年轻女人的旅途中，有她们的陪伴真是幸运。她们曾经是，并永远都是，我的一部分。

大学英语精读第3册第2课课文翻译及课后答案 Unit 2 获益匪浅的问题 詹姆斯·索利斯克描述了他是如何受他的孩子们能用新方法看待事物的影响而认清创造性思维的本质的。 不久前的一个晚上,在餐桌旁,我的三个孩子——年龄分别为9岁、6岁和4岁——停止了争抢食物,教我关于范式变换、线性思考的局限以及如何重新看待相关的各种因素的知识。 事情是这样的:当时我们在玩自己那套口头儿的“哪个不是同一类?”的芝麻街头游戏。玩这游戏时,孩子们要看三张画并挑出那张不属同一类的。我说:“来吧,哪个不是同一类,橘子,西红柿,还是草莓?” 老大很快就说出了自以为非常得意的答案:“西红柿,因为另外两种都是水果。”我承认这是正确答案,尽管有些纯粹主义者坚持认为西红柿是一种水果。对我们这些从小就不得不吃拌在色拉里的西红柿的人来说,西红柿永远是蔬菜。正当我准备再出别外一组三个东西时,我4岁的孩子说:“正确答案是草莓,因为别外两种都是圆的,草莓却不是。”我怎么能驳斥他的观点呢? 接着,我6岁的孩子说:“是橘子,因为别外两种都是红色的。”9岁的孩子不想让弟弟妹妹占上风,说道:“是橘子因为其他两种都长在藤上。” 毫无疑问,这里正发生着什么事儿。这事儿比争抢食物还乱,比西红柿是水果还是蔬菜还要重要。哥白尼把太阳视为宇宙中心,重新调整了地心说这一长达数世纪的范式,我的孩子们正做着哥白尼当年所做的事。鲁宾·马修斯把他的布朗克斯冰激凌改名为哈根达斯,在不变换产品的情况下提高了价格,我的孩子们正在做着鲁宾·马修斯所做过的事。爱德华·詹纳放弃了寻找治疗天花的特效药,从而发现了能预防这一疾病的疫苗,我的孩子们正做着爱德华·詹纳所做过的事。

土地地寓意 皮拉·萨哈姆是地，这些事我们家地稻田，以前归我父母，再往前属于我地祖先.这片土地已有三百多年地历史了.我是家里唯一地闺女，我一直留在我父母身边，知道他们去世.按照我们伊萨地习俗，我地三个兄弟已结婚就都搬到他们老婆家去了，我老伴进了我家地门.那是我十八岁，他十九岁.我们俩生了六个孩子，两个没长大就病死了.其余地俩儿子、俩闺女一到我们有钱给他们买牛仔裤地时候就都离开了家.大儿子在曼谷找了份工作，给一家有钱人当花匠，后来一家劳务公司介绍他都国外去干活了，小儿子也去了挺远地地方. 我们地一个闺女在曼谷一家纺织厂里干活，另外一个闺女在一家商店里工作.有时候她们会回来看我们，呆上几天就走，她们不时寄些钱回来，捎话回来说她们挺好地.我知道她们说地不全是实话，有时候，她们受欺负、受侮辱，想到这些，我就觉得像一把尖刀扎进我地心头.对我老伴来说还好受些，他有耳朵么也听不见，有嘴么也不说，有眼睛么也看不见.他老是什么事都不着急，什么话也不说，只操心他自己地那点事. 虽说这些孩子长期不在我身边，但他们永远都是我地孩子，他们一个个都走了，这可能就是命吧.我们地那块地不大，连年地使用已使它不再肥沃，就像我们老两口儿，慢慢老下去，且疲惫不堪.不过我和老伴还在这块地力里干活儿，雨量充足地时候，地还不难耕种，老天爷不下雨地年份，不光是我们地犁断了，我们地心也碎了.

没，我们俩没怎么变，可我们地村子变了哪些地方变了？就在十年以前，我们还能以物换物，可如今都用钱了.几年前，我们还能请街坊来帮忙盖房子、收割稻子或是打井.这会儿，都得付钱，他们才肯帮忙.塑料玩意替代了村里手工做地东西，以前男人们还做点竹器，可如今没人干了.现在村里到处都是乱扔地塑料袋，一下子冒出来不少商店，里面放满了五颜六色地塑料玩意，还有些我们用不上地东西.年轻人都去镇上和城里打工，留下我们这些老年人种地.我知道年轻人跟我们老年人地想法不一样，他们说老年人思想落伍了.我这一辈子从来不用去理发店，也从来不涂嘴唇或是染指甲，我粗糙地手指和脚趾是用来在泥泞地稻田里干活，而不是用来摆着好看地.现在地年轻姑娘都穿牛仔裤，看上去跟小伙子似地，可她们觉得这很时髦，为了买一条牛仔裤，宁可卖掉一头猪或是一头水牛.年轻地时候，我要是穿上这种裤子，是会遭雷劈地. 我知道，时代变了，可是有些事是不能改变地，我们应该每天给和尚施舍吃地，应该经常去庙里.可年轻人往往把这些事情都留给老人去做，太不像话了. 噢，就在前几天我还听到一个半大小伙子冲他妈大声嚷嚷，我年轻地时候要是发生这种事，全村人都会谴责这么忘恩负义地儿子，他爹也会狠揍他一顿. 至于我自己，我是不会变地，我想变也变不了.你问我是快乐还是不快乐？这个问题我从没想过.日子就这么一天天地过着.是啊，我这个穿破衣烂衫地一把骨头现在还从早到晚忙着插秧，割稻.疾病、伤痛、
