【看美剧学托福】用一生，爱一城

新通外语韩心宇Sherry老师写在前面的话：

讲真，这么文艺的名字并非我本意，只是最近生活节奏太快，导致整个人都散发出一种舌头打结脑子短路的气质。加之新年夜时，一个漂在纽约的好友发来一张自拍，照片中的他站在纽约一片喧嚣的街景中，大家原来眼中的羞涩boy，已然蜕变成一个对未来充满希望和信心的New Yorker。这两个事件一结合，一下让我对世界产生了很深的感触。

所以，今天带大家看一部今年被提名奥斯卡最佳影片的《布鲁克林（Brooklyn）》，主题就围绕住在Brooklyn的移民，来审视能让人用尽一生去感受去爱的这座城——New York。（那些住在Manhattan的土豪们随意感受下就好~~）

2.Some people spend their entire lives in one place. Others move a number of times throughout their lives, looking for a better job, house, community, or even climate.

3.Some people are always in a hurry to go places and get things done. Other people prefer to take their time and live life at a slower pace. Which do you prefer? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

《布鲁克林》剧情简介

Brooklyn的剧情，更适合一个背井离乡的人，握着绿蚁新醅酒，倚着红泥小火炉，在一个静谧的雪夜默默感受的一个故事。

来自爱尔兰的Eilis在一个小镇上在一个巫婆一样的老女人开的杂货店里打工，日子过得比较糟心。她姐姐知道Eilis的难处，帮她找到一份美国工作的机会。刚到美国，她还带着来自爱尔兰的浓厚乡土气息，但是大城市的机会和境遇已经比原来的小城好太多。所以Eilis从一开始思乡落泪，到努力适应了新的工作和生活，最后找到了一生挚爱——同样漂在纽约的意大利移民Tony（看到男主名字的一瞬间，入戏很深的我还是出戏了）。

可是后来，Eilis的姐姐突然病故（真的非常突然，看来导演还借鉴了韩剧），Eilis仓促回到家，却发现过去的小镇也有她的种种眷恋和不舍，这边有小镇的安逸、好友的召唤和家乡的温暖，大洋彼岸却有更自由的环境、深情的Tony和更多更好的机会。女主在各种徘徊挣扎后，最后毅然决然回到了Brooklyn，回到了那个能寄托梦想的地方：New York city。

整个故事并不复杂，所以女主的情感流露和内心挣扎撑起了这部电影的主要戏剧冲突。女主的表现也没让大家失望，通过这部戏已经获得了奥斯卡最佳女主的提名。她就是大家并不陌生的Saoirse Ronan。罗南妹子已经出落成一个大美人了。从“赎罪”这部电影开始，我只是觉得这是一个长相不俗的萝莉；后来到了《布达佩斯大饭店》，她的脸上多一个神秘scar，让我险些没认出来。

直到最近看完《Brooklyn》，我只能感叹，这个94年生人的、眼睛蓝成一汪湖水的、在电影《赎罪（2007）》里坑了一票人的熊孩子，现在眼神里满满的都是人间百态了啊，我是不是也可以安心地变老了呢。

Eilis的这段话，给所有志在远方的人：

You will feel so homesick that you will want to die, and there is nothing you can do about it apart from endure it. But you will, and it won’t kill you, and one day the sun will come out and you might not even note it straight away. It would be that faint, and then you will catch yourself thinking about something or someone has no connection to the past, someone who’s only yours, and you will realize that this is where your life is.

来，就着这个题目，分享一篇托福作文论证段吧：

Living in a big city provides us with an opportunity of awakening, both to the world and to ourselves. Living in a big city is like a journey of excitement to the world, it is also a journey of discovery within our heart.

Specifically, my belief is reconfirmed after watching the movie Brooklyn. It is a film about Eilis, an Irish woman, who crossed the Atlantic to America in the 1950s. Highly career-motivated, Eilis finds that New York city is inevitably a better place for her, the skyscrapers, the kindness of strangers and endless possibilities all open her eyes and encourage her be become a woman she have never dreamed of.  At last, she breaks free from her shell and shines in New York, an unfamiliar, yet warm and thrilling city.

I feel related to Eilis’s story and realize that it is within the big city that new possibilities can be unfolded, a strong personality can be formed, a new height can be achieved. So, as a student who longs for more opportunities, I love big cities rather than small towns.

新通外语韩心宇Sherry老师：

新年伊始，这是Sherry的首更。春节假期已经结束，我们都各自出发，为了自己的目标，或奔赴世界各个角落，或在知识的海洋里求索。愿每一个奋斗的人的愿望都会实现；更祝愿每一个已经或者即将到达大洋彼岸的留学生们，都会在他乡经历心灵的成长和蜕变，成为自己梦想中的样子。

正如Shinyway的motto：用自己的双手，实现全新的可能。
