1. 求《喜福会》的英文介绍

The film The Joy Luck Club is adapted from a best-seller

written by Amy Tan. The film name, “The Joy Luck Club”

actually is a party's name in this story. This party was started by

four Chinese female immigrations when they came to San

Francisco in 1949. They often get together at this club to share

their happiness and sadness with each other. In this film, the four

mothers and their daughters tell the stories about their past

experience. These interwoven stories present the cultural

misunderstandings between the Chinese immigrant mothers and

their American-raised daughters. The mothers can not accept the

daughters' completely westernized life style. And the daughters

are not satisfied with their Chinese born mothers when their life

was interfered. Though they love each other very much, they

could not remove the emotional barriers easily. The mothers are

eager to dispel the misunderstandings and help their daughters

when they get into trouble. Gradually they find a useful way to

communicate with the daughters. That is to tell their Chinese

stories to the daughters. With the mothers' helps and

encouragements, the daughters are courageous to face the

difficulties and accept the Chinese culture. Eventually, the

Chinese immigrant mothers and the American-raised daughters

understand each other.。

The Joy Luck Club, by Amy Tan, is a story about two

generations of Chinese American women. The first generation

consists of the mothers living in pre-1949 China. These women

are Suyuan Woo, An-mei Hsu, Lindo Jong, and Ying-ying St. Clair. They established the Joy Luck Club, which was a small group that

discussed their homeland and troubles, but still enjoying the

delicious food and each other's company. The second generation

of daughters born in America are Jing-mei "June" Woo, Rose Hsu

Jordan, Waverly Jong, and Lena St. Clair. Each chapter is either a

mother or a daughter talking about their experiences of growing

up in either China or America. It is quite obvious that the women

who grew up in China have much different viewpoints on their

lifestyle than their daughters who grew up in America. The

women who grew up in China had suffered great hardships yet

they all took it to heart and kept it within themselves. At that time,

little girls were basically worthless while little boys were prided

upon in China. The book continues on with the stories of these

women's daughters, telling stories of their lives being raised by

mothers who were immigrants, and being integrated into

American society. Chinese mothers try to pass on their values,

ideas, and goal onto the second generation. Great fortune has

come to the members of the Joy Luck Club through their harsh

lives, and they only want their daughters to understand what it

takes to succeed in life. The Joy Luck Club members were all

friends who have formed decent lives for themselves in America.

All of the daughters in this book were raised with high

expectations, even the mothers while they were in China. At times,

these high desires may have done more harms than good,

because this is contrary to an overall idea that girls in China were

not a great gift to their parents. Each member of the Joy Luck

Club was a mother that tries her best to cultivate her daughter in

the way she believes is right. Unfortunately, it works not as good

as they planned. Doubtlessly, these Chinese mothers take great

pride in their traditions and their children. A Chinese mother is not easily pleased. The women of the Joy Luck Club were

competitive amongst each other when it came to their children's

successes, only wanted their own daughters to understand why

they should be respectful of their Chinese culture and grateful for

their American opportunities. Later, another daughter of the Joy

Luck Club, Waverly, disgusted her mother when she decided to

marry a Caucasian man. Clair remembers when her mother kept

having a feeling to rearrange furniture, only to find out she was

pregnant. An-mei Hsu said that no matter how much she raised

her daughter to be more American, the more she became

Chinese, desiring nothing and swallowing other people's pride.

In other hand, Jing-Mei(also called June)'s mother, Suyuan,

wanted her daughter to be a Chinese version of the “perfect

child” during the 1950s. Avoiding trouble is also an instinct for

the Chinese, so mothers warned their daughters repeatedly to

behave themselves, and go forward exactly through the road

chosen by their mothers. She created the Joy Luck Club, hoped

to bring luck to her family and friends and finding joy. She had
