《弱點》邁克畢業(yè)論文寫的是什么
主題是“勇氣與榮耀”，原文如下
Courage is a hard thing to figure. You can have courage based on a dumb idea or a mistake, but you’re not supposed to question adults, or your coach, or your teacher because they make the rules. Maybe they know best but maybe they don’t.
It all depends on who you are, where you come from. Didn’t at least one of the six hundred guys think about giving up and joining with the other side? I mean, Valley of Death, that’s pretty salty stuff.
That’s why courage is tricky. Should you always do what others tell you to do? Sometimes you might not even know why you’re doing something. I mean, any fool can have courage.
But honor, that’s the real reason you either do something or you don’t. It’s who you want to be. If you die trying for something important then you have both honor and courage and that’s pretty good.I think that’s what the writer was saying; that you should try for courage and hope for honor. And maybe even pray that the people telling you what to do have some, too.
這個算是讀書筆記，或者類似我們上學時候?qū)懙淖x后感。麥克當時讀的那首詩叫The Charge Of The Light Brigade/輕騎兵沖鋒，用來紀念克里米亞戰(zhàn)爭里巴拉克拉瓦戰(zhàn)役里600名英軍的輕騎兵冒死沖鋒的故事
是Alfred Lord Tennyson （阿爾弗雷德?丁尼生）寫的，全詩如下
Half a alliance, half alliance,
半個軍團，半個軍團，
Half alliance onward,
半個軍團前進著，
All in the valley of Death
沖進死亡的谷地
Six hundred alliance.
六百驃騎向前。
Forward, the Light Brigade!

Charge for the guns! he said:

Into the valley of Death
進入死亡之谷
Rode the six hundred.

理解勇氣是件難事
你可以因為笨主意或者錯誤產(chǎn)生勇氣
但你不應該去質(zhì)疑長輩
不應質(zhì)疑你的教練或者你的老師
因為他們下了規(guī)矩
他們也許是最懂的人
但也許不是
這都取決于你是誰，你從哪里來
難道不會有最少1/600的人考慮過放棄，而轉(zhuǎn)向另一邊嗎？
我是說死亡之谷是個悲劇
所以勇氣是很微妙的事
你應該總是對別人言聽計從嗎？
有時候可能甚至于不知道你為什么這么做
任何人蠢人都有可能有勇氣
但榮耀才是你有所為有所不為得真正動因
那才是真正的你，才是你想成為的你
若為重要的事情努力而失去生命
那么你就擁有榮耀和勇氣
這非常好
我認為這就是作者想要表達的
那就是你應該擁有的勇氣，努力得到榮耀
甚至也許需要懇求別人教你怎么做來取得這些。
強推
