美女与野兽课件

Beauty and the Beast和身边的动物相比，毫无疑问我们是不寻常的现象。

有人把人类比作“超豪华模型”：我们可以走路，可以说话，我们有嗅觉，有味觉，有触觉，我们还能思考。

所有的这一切功能都包括在一个相对很小，但很引人注目的躯体里。

我们也能很好地使用我们的双手。

在相对较短的时间里，人类演变成了现在这个样子。

在大约50，000年里，人类发明了车轮，发明了字母表（发明文字），发明了时钟，发明了交换机和回旋加速器，还有类似的一切。

再不忙于进步的时候，我们发明了更多有趣的东西，像音乐，艺术，棒球和桥牌。

这些年来，我们已经展示了令人钦佩的互相合作的精神。

当我们有一大群人聚集在一起的时候，便形成了城镇。

两人凑在一块儿产生了爱情。

人类也显示了许多辉煌的个人成就。

车轮并不是由委员会发明的，与此类似的，爱因斯坦通过自己一个人的努力便革命性地改变了我们对宇宙的看法。

当然，人类大部分屈指可数的伟大创作是协作和个人成就的结晶。

甚至连Charles Lindbergh也有一组地勤人员。

贝多芬在耳聋的孤寂中创作了第九交响曲，但需要众多音乐家演奏它才赋予其生命。

Neil Armstrong知道可能会在月球上陷入15英尺厚的尘埃，但他依然充满勇气，踏上了月球表面，但是在他背后有着一大批人帮助他到达那儿，然后再把他接回来。

我们只能想象，当站在月球上肯定会有这样的感觉：回望地球，它仿若悬停在太空中的一颗蓝白相间的大理石球；想人类在这么短的时间内做到了这步。

这种哽咽欲涕，激动人心、无比骄傲的感觉——是人类独一无二的。

纵观人类历史，这种感觉是宗教专有的。

当大部分的人生活陷入——孤独，贫穷，低劣，粗野和短浅时，宗教是唯一能让他们感到作为人类的尊严、特殊和骄傲。

那些第一次凝视Chartres大教堂彩色玻璃的农民们无疑会经历同样的感受——最人性的情感——惊奇。

他们中的很多人从来没在比茅屋更大的建筑中住过，也从来没见过比花布色彩更多的颜色。

Beauty and the Beast – 3 people(美女与野兽）Once upon a time there lived a wealthy merchant and his three daughters.One day, the father was to go to a far-off place and he asked his daughters what they wanted on his return. The first and the second daughter asked for lovely dresses. But the third daughter, whose name was Beauty, said, “Father, I only need a rose plucked by your hand.” The merchant, on his way back, had to cross through the deep forest. It was dark and the merchant tried to find a place to sleep. He suddenly found a huge castle and went inside to find nobody. There was a huge table with delicious food and he ate it all. Then the merchant went into the bedroom and slept on a soft and fluffy bed. The next day, too, the merchant did not find anyone in the castle. He saw a beautiful rose bush growing in the lawn and remembered Beauty’s gift. He plucked a red rose from the bush.Suddenly, a ferocious looking beast sprang out of the bush. He was wearing fine silk clothes and roared, “I gave you fo od and a bed to sleep in! And now, you are stealing my roses!” The merchant was frightened and told the Beast about Beauty’s gift. The Beast decided to let him go only if he promised to send Beauty to this castle. The merchant agreed and ran back home. He cried and told his daughters about the Beast. But Beauty loved her father a lot and agreed to go stay with the Beast.The Beast treated Beauty with a lot of kindness. He was never rude to her. He let her stay in the biggest room and let her roam in the beautiful garden. Beauty would sit near the fireplace and sew while the Beast kept her company. At first, Beauty was afraid of the Beast but slowly, she began to like him.One day, the Beast asked Beauty to marry him, but she refused. She was still afraid of his fearful-looking face. The Beast still treated her kindly and with a lot of love. Beauty missed her father a lot. The Beast gave her a magic mirror and said, “Look at the mirror and you can see your family. Now you won’t feel lonely anymore.One day, Beauty looked in the mirror and saw that father was very ill and dying. She went to the Beast and pleaded and cried, “Please let me go home! I only want to see my father before he dies!” But the Beast roared, “No! You promised you would never leave this castle!” Saying this, he stormed out of the room. But after some time, he came to Beauty and said, “You may go to stay with your father for seven days. But you must promise to return after that.” Beauty was very happy and agreed. Then she left and went to stay with her father. Her father, on seeing Beauty, felt very happy and soon recovered. Beauty stayed with her family for seven days and more. She forgot the Beast and his castle. But one night, she had a terrible nightmare in which she saw the Beast was very ill and about to die. He was crying, “Beauty, please come back!”Beauty woke up and went back to the castle because she did not mean to hurt the Beast. She cried and said, “Please don’t die, Beast! I will live with you forever!” The Beast miraculously chan ged into a handsome prince. He said, “I was under a curse all these years and could only be relieved when someone fell in love with me. I am now cured of the curse because you truly love me.” And then, Beauty and the Beast were married and together they lived happily ever after.。
