Winner of Newbery Honor,Wanda Gág's timeless tales tells of an old man who sets off in search of a beautiful cat to bring home as a companion for his wife.But instead of one cat,he comes back with"Hundreds of cats,thousands of cats,Millions and billions and trillions of cats"…
I could see millions of people in my life. But you are the most special one in my heart. When you have a whish that waited for someone, you must be good at discovering.
除了没有图片,原版读来总是更顺畅、好记,尤其反复出现的这句“Cats here,cats there,Cats and kittens everywhere,Hundreds of cats,Thousands of cats,Millions and billions and trillions of cats.”简直魔性,完全被洗脑,想忘也忘不了[捂脸]
挺荒诞,挺随性,挺简单的浮想联翩
I've seen--Hundreds of cats,Thousands of cats,Millions and billions and trillions of cats —and not one was as pretty as this one."
我觉得这个比之前看的关于通过交换家务来颂扬女性性别优势,提醒不要被男权思想蒙蔽的故事——Gone is gone, 要稍高一个级别。 这个故事讲的是男女主生活太孤独想养一只猫,男主便翻山越岭来到一个全是猫的地方,他看哪个都好,都想带回去给自己的妻子。结果带回去了" hundreds, thousands, millions, billions, trillions of cats"。 写到这,我以为故事的寓意就是本来一直都没有,结果发现很多猫之后欲望也开始膨胀,变得看见哪个猫都觉得很漂亮想拥有。 可是故事发生了转变,首先当男主把小家伙们带回家,女主清醒的意识到了这么多猫带来的麻烦,他们没有足够的食物和水来供养它们。而这时老夫妻做出的决定不是留下一只把剩下的送回去,而是让猫们自己选择哪一只最漂亮哪一只留下来。这个思路真的是很好的转移了问题,选择难题不再属于夫妻俩,而变成了猫之间的角逐,很有领导力… 而在经过一场猫撕大战之后,只有一只谦卑的自称自己“homely”的小猫咪活了下来。看来不争夺、不盲目真的是可以救命。后来夫妻俩就决定只养着一只,当然也只剩下这一只。经过一段时间,老夫妻们终于觉得天啊,明明只有这一只才是所有猫里最美的嘛! 最后的小猫咪对于夫妻就像是那株特殊的玫瑰之于小王子,只有你细心呵护、给予爱,它会变成更美好的,也会变成你心中最好的。 请让我们这样去爱,单纯的爱,带有一颗栽培的心去爱。 我们不用翻山越岭跋山涉水去找寻,那个homely的小家伙在爱的浇灌下,就是prettiest!!不仅你会认为它是,它事实上也会是。而且只要一个,就足够了xoxoxo😘
I have always loved cats and had a cat when I was a child. The craziest thing that I have ever done is to make cats and dogs friends, let them eat together, and then bask in the sun with them. I like cats, especially their way of life. Of course, I also admire them very much. They can walk slowly, sleep late and bring happiness to people.
Every cat out of hundreds, thousands, millions, billions and trillions of cats is beautiful, cute and lovely, as long as you are determined have this only one. All of them do not belong to you, you just can keep one. 真的不要有贪婪的野心,想全部拥有,群猫大战真的好可怕(◎_◎;)所以只给四颗星。死了那么多猫真的好可惜😭
很可爱的一本。第四章比前三章难,差点就又不想看了,但断了一会之后还是坚持读完了。谢谢自己。 不过猫猫们互相吃掉了彼此……仔细想想挺恐怖的。 Cats here, cats there Cats and kittens everywhere Hundreds of cats Thousands of cats Millions and billions and trillions of cats.
这就是一个很简短的小故事,几分钟可读完。不是全英文的读起来感觉很新奇呢。推荐给英语基础一般的朋友阅读,比谁动了我的奶酪还要少很多,还没有一篇长阅读长。。。 至于书中的内容就是两个老人感到很孤独,想要一直猫,后来去找寻猫的过程中,寻到了很多猫。最后剩下了一只很不好看的。虽然是小故事给,(和谁动了我的奶酪)一样,小故事,大道理,值得深思。。
虽然是同样的故事,但文字版和绘本版读起来还是有不同的感觉。都值得读一读。 那只存活下来的🐱告诉我们: You may think you are somebody, but actually you are nobody. The person who doesn't talk much but does a lot will go to the last. (大概?( 'ω' )) 老爷爷也告诉我们: 当你爱一个人时,你会想将整个世界都给她,即使她想要的只是一只可以陪伴她的小猫❤
