Boule de Suif羊脂球（英文版）

Boule de Suif shows how unfair and hypocritical people can be. The “respectable” travelers pretend to have strong morals, but they quickly drop those morals when it suits them. Meanwhile, Boule de Suif—the person they looked down on—shows real kindness, courage, and dignity.

沒有良知的人性，因爲沒有和不用付出代價，所以一些人一直沒有良知。

📚《boule de suif》直視人性的斑斕 appearance description ： 📙The woman, one of those called a coquette, was celebrated for her embonpoint, which had given her the nickname of"Ball-of-Fat. "Small, round, and fat as lard, with puffy fingers choked at the phalanges, like chaplets of short sausages; . ▪️ 📙with a stretched and shining skin, an enormous bosom which shook under her dress, she was, nevertheless, pleasing and sought after, on account of a certain freshness and breeziness of disposition. ▪️ 📒Her face was a round apple, a peony bud ready to pop into bloom, and inside that opened two great black eyes, shaded with thick brows that cast a shadow with-in; and below, a charming mouth, humid for kissing, furnished with shining, microscopic baby teeth. She was, it was said, full of admirable qualities. ▪️ 📒看到phalange的時候一下子想到了Phoebe的"something is wrong with the left phalange 🌟Life is not as good as you imagine, nor is it as bad as you think. ——Maupassant《Boule de Suif》 📚At times, a single word can reduce me to tears, revealing my profound fragility; yet on other occasions, I find myself gritting my teeth and persevering through arduous journeys. —Boule de Suif, Writer, Guy de Maupassant 📙《羊脂球》是法國現實主義作家莫泊桑的短篇小說，以普法戰爭爲背景，講述了一個發生在社會底層的妓女羊脂球身上的故事。 📒羊脂球，一個身份卑微的妓女，在戰爭的背景下，與一羣自詡爲高貴的人同乘一輛馬車逃難。在這羣人中，她顯得格格不入，卻以她的善良和無私，在食物匱乏的情況下，慷慨地與大家分享了自己的食物。 📔然而，當這羣人面臨德國的關卡時，他們卻爲了自身的利益，毫不猶豫地犧牲了羊脂球。 🌟天下熙熙，皆爲利來；天下攘攘，皆爲利往。當羊脂球有利於自己，大家才戴上虛僞的面具，變得慈眉善目，說着恭維的話。等食物喫完了，沒有利用的價值，又漸漸卸下僞裝，神情冷漠。 🌟心理學家佛洛伊德曾說：“人際交往中，永遠不要讓自己的籌碼，只剩下老實和善良。” 🌟卑微的善良，並不會得到別人真心地接納；短暫的友好，不過是因爲有利可圖，別有用心。 📒人性便是如此，不是每個人都懂得知恩圖報！ 📔作品通過對比羊脂球與車上貴族乘客的行爲，揭示了人性的複雜與矛盾。 📔羊脂球雖然身份低微，但她的愛國精神和高尚品質，那些貴族乘客在關鍵時刻表現出的自私、虛僞和冷酷形成強烈反差。
