小编语： 2016年5月19日下午，我们国际部可爱的外教Linda 带领全体剑桥课程的学生欣赏了一部印度电影<English Vinglish>，这部电影究竟有何魔力让Linda要极力推荐?看剑桥AS班三个学生的真实感想，我们就能一目了然了。 外教Linda在影片开始前悉心讲解分析 学生认真观影 1 新的角度，改变自己 剑桥AS班 鲍鹏 如何爱自己 ——电影<English Vinglish>观后感 这是一部可以用多种角度来欣赏的电影：印度传统妇女对尊严的追求、印度人在纽约、法国帅哥恋上印度美女等等。站在我的角度，我看到更多的是电影里对英语那种无国别的描述，如何爱自己。 众所周知，印度被英国殖民很长一段时间，英语之于印度，就如普通话之于中国，均是官方语言。记得很小的时候听过一些客家话的相声，其中一段相声里面把普通话描述为“官话”，会说官话被认为是一件很了不起的事，通常只有读过书和做官的才会说官话。现在的印度，英语也成为官方语言，很多地方都以英语为母语，渐渐非常多的印度人甚至不会说印度语。而电影里面，Sashi是一名传统的能烧出一手好菜的印度妇女，英语不好，因此时常被女儿和丈夫嘲笑，渐渐Sashi心里既是愤怒又是自卑。 电影一开始并没有急着讲述Sashi如何刻苦学习英语，而是安排了两段故事。一段是在飞机上遇到一个印度老绅士，非常有趣，他只出现了5分钟，意在向Sashi传达“凡事要自信，大胆的去做”；另一段，是Sashi独自去咖啡馆遇到巴辣的黑人女侍应，因为无法用英语点餐，被当众羞辱，Sashi夺门而出崩溃大哭。第二段故事我深有体会，自己平时助人为乐，怎么轮到需要别人帮助的时候，旁人却视而不见，置若罔闻，那种气愤和委屈，不言而喻。这两段经历对于Sashi学英语来说一个是糖果，一个是鞭子。 后来，Sashi借着去纽约参加妹妹婚礼的契机，报名参加了一个为期四周的英语速成班，恶补英语。这四周的英语速成班，由一位基友老师负责，他非常有爱，班里的同学来自美国以外的其他国家，有墨西哥的保姆、巴基斯坦的出租车司机、法国的帅哥厨师、中国的美女发型师、印度的IT宅男、还有一位来自非洲的沉默男生、加上印度传统家庭主妇——Sashi，组成这个小小的“联合国”英语班。他们互相诉说着为什么要来这个班学英语，每个人都有不同的理由，但是共同理由就是想融入这个说英语的国度。他们的英语都不怎么灵光，但因为来自不同的国家，他们互相交流的时候都只能用蹩脚的英语，那种画面是既熟悉又搞笑。就像当时我们在高一开学时的外教课上，外教要求我们在课堂上用英语交流，我们就操着一口踉踉跄跄的英语，一个单词一个单词的拼出要讲的意思，特别希望能说出一口流利句子。在班里有这么一段有爱的画面，基友老师失恋了，大家议论纷纷，这时Sashi说“老师是同性恋，对于我们来说他是不正常的，同样的，对于他来说，我们也不正常。但是我们心痛的感觉会是一样的。”基友老师带着墨镜，在门外听到这段话，感到非常的温暖。在这里，英语如同一道桥梁，促进不同国籍的人的心灵交流与融合。 电影的结局也是温馨和欢乐的，Sashi说“如果你不喜欢自己，自己周围的一切你都会讨厌，但如果你学会爱自己，周围的一切都会渐渐变得有吸引力，原本沉寂如死水的生活就开始变得焕然一新，变得美好。谢谢你，教会我，如何爱自己！”同样, 感谢外教Linda给我们推荐了这部电影，感谢这部电影让我们学会了如何爱自己。 2 唤醒学习英语的激情 剑桥AS班 施铮云 努力，赢得尊重 ——电影<English Vinglish>观后感 语言问题是每个准备出国的人所面临的最大障碍，今天通过一部电影谈谈我对语言问题的感想，这部电影名字叫English Vinglish。它讲述了一个从未独自出过门且不懂英语的印度妈妈Sashi如何迈出国门独自踏上纽约参加妹妹婚礼的故事。 故事中这位不懂英语的妈妈常常被儿女嘲笑，在家中的地位不高，经常不受儿女尊重，原以为这日子就这样一直过下去了，谁知妹妹的一通电话让她一下子陷入低谷，他们一家被邀请去纽约参加婚礼，而且因丈夫有事，她必须一个人提前两周先去往那个未知的城市，于是她带着胆怯和不安踏上了旅途。在纽约，她深深体会到了不会英语是一件多么痛苦的事，就算在家中有妹妹和侄女会说印度话，但不见得就不出门了，于是她决定学英语。就这样，她的英语学习旅程开始了，学习了两周，她的英语水平大幅提升，终于在丈夫和儿女面前赢回尊重。 这个故事让我想起了去年暑假我的英国之旅，当时我和老师同学们一起前往英国传播中国文化，体验英国的学习和生活。虽然不是孤身一人，但也是第一次在没有亲人陪伴下前往一个语言不相同的地方。这让我真正体会到周边都是外国人，回荡在耳边的都是英语的感觉。我刚踏上英国时内心是忐忑不安的，尽管过了几天一些基本的生活对话能应付，但要做到毫无障碍的交流还是有一定困难的。相比影片中的主人公来说，我有一定的英语基础，要提高英语难度相对较小，但当时的自己并没有像Sashi那样不惧怕困难，想各种办法，全身心的去提高自己的英语。我们都是准备出国的学生，不久的将来我们也将迎来一段艰难的适应过程，语言是基本的生存条件，无论是生活还是学习。看了这部电影，我将不再害怕英语学习中遇到的困难，我相信我们都会像电影中那位坚持不懈最终成功的妈妈一样，努力让自己变得更加完美，最终赢得所有人的尊重。 3 高大上的全英文读后感 剑桥AS班 周意达 To love yourself ——Sashi We all have these periods when we are treated not fairly, or teased, not respected. It is,however, not always the others’ fault, because people won’t respect you if you don’t respect yourself. Respect is not always something people give you, but something you win through loving yourself. This is what I learnt from the film English Vinglish. 女主角Sashi和一群学英语的小伙伴 English Vinglish is an Indian film directed by Gauri Shinde and released by the Eros International on October 5th, 2012. It’s about a traditional Indian mother, Sushi... sorry I mean Sashi (it’s hard to get used to the name at first), who is not respected by the family she loves due to her awful English, traveled to New York city to help her relatives on a wedding they’re going to have. She then attended an English learning course. The rest of the story is then about Sashi meeting many people and gaining back the confidence she had long lost.The best part of the English Vinglish, I believe, is the part of Sashi changing from a self-abased selfless mother, to a woman who knows how to think for herself and wins the respect of others. In the beginning of the film, Sashi was teased by her daughter. Her husband didn’t want to say anything to her even though the words that were necessary. Thereafter she started to learn English in the United States (are you sure this is not an advertisement?), it was her first time to change herself and became more confident. Starting from then, she gradually started to love herself, and on the wedding, which was at the end of the movie, she gave out a speech in English about family and respect. She showed everyone that she is a human being (before she is anything?), and she deserves to be respected (this is certainly an advertisement). The same thing works on the reality and on everybody. When we are not respected, we should not stay silent. What we should do is to show them who we are and get back what we deserve to have. Respect is not something that people would always give us, it’s something that we win. There’s this detail, though, that most people tend to ignore. Sashi’s niece was the first one in her family to know about Sashi attending the English course which Sashi didn’t want anyone to know. However, her niece didn’t tell anybody. Instead, she helped and supported Sashi till the end of the story. If she wasn’t there, Sashi probably would never gain back her respect. In the film, many people, more or less, gave Sashi help like her niece did. The world we are in is not as bad as we think, and not everybody around us disrespects us. Hence, the next time we need help, all we need to do is to ask for it, as there are people who will always be there to help us and stand on our side. The world is more beautiful than we think. There are a few drawbacks of the film though. First, the story is about a traditional Indian mother who has two children. According to this information, Sashi should be in her 40s or even 50s, and the actress, Sridevi, looks too young for the character. (Which kind of didn’t give us?) enough idea that she is an old mother who has passed the hone of time. She looks more like a young lady instead. However, this could be understood. In fact, who would like to watch a movie about an old woman? Most people likes young girls. Another drawback is about the story of Laurent. In the film, Laurent fell in love with Sashi. Let’s not consider about the fact that this 20 or 30 year old young man fell in love with a 40 or 50 year old mother. This fragment of the story seems quite meaningless. If it was to let Sashi learn to love herself, there could have been lots of other ways to show that. In my point of view, it just seemed like the producers simply wanted to add a love story into the film...and ...that became an awful idea. In fact many people, after watching the film, started arguing about whether Sashi should run off with Laurent. (This made the film seem lower?) that it should have been but made it seem more popular since so many people are fighting for it...or maybe this was what producers wanted...let’s just stop this topic right there.Besides, English Vinglish is a pretty awesome film, and I recommend everyone to take a try on it. I’m sure that you would be inspired (this is certainly not an advertisement). “When you don't like yourself, you tend to dislike everything connected to you. When you learn to love yourself, then the same old life starts looking new, starts looking nice.”This quote from Sashi in the end of the film is the best to conclude the whole story, and probably, our lives. 编外语 电影《霸王别姬》里，程蝶衣的老师说“人！得自个儿成全自个儿！”而影片<English Vinglish>女主角Sashi同样诠释如何通过自身努力克服困难，成全自己，赢得别人的尊重，成功逆袭！此次观影，同学们受益匪浅，感触颇深，学习英语的激情再次被点燃！努力，一直以来都是个奢侈品。只要功夫深，铁杵磨成针，相信国际部的孩子们会 Day Day up，成全自我，赢得尊重！ 6月11日，金苹果国际部国际课程招生说明会欢迎您！（时间：上午9点，地点：国际部一楼大厅）学校官网：www.jinpingguo.com.cn（可网上报名）国际部咨询电话：6897 3118, 68973866（周老师、王老师） 微信号
