These days I am reading the book << Jane Eyre >>(简爱)。After a few chapters , the image of Jane Eyre has given me a deep impression . She was afraid of nothing ,and brave to violate all the consevative restrictions. At the same time, she could distinguish between the evil and justice.So I like this character a great deel. But Helen Bums, a good friend of Jane,who had done a large favor on her, held a contrary belief of life .While apparently which seemed doing nothing to her.Let's look at the discrīptions of Helen Bums from this book.
After being punished in the class, Bums said:"it is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself,than to commit a hasty action whose consquences will extend to all concerned with you;and besides,the Bebil bids us return good for evil."(耐心忍受只有自己感到的痛苦,远比草率行动,产生连累亲朋的恶果要好,更何况《圣经》上嘱咐我们要以德报怨)then Jane retorted:"but it seems disgraceful to be flogged, and to be sent to stand in the middle of a room full of peaple;and you are such a great girl;I am far younger than you , i could not bear it.""yet it would be your duty to bear it .if you could not avoid it ,it is weak and silly to say you can't bear it what is your fate to be required to bear it ."(不过,要是无法避免,那你的职责就是忍受,如果你命里注定需要忍受,那么你说你自己不能忍受就是软弱,就是犯傻)
With the same amazement, I can't conprehend her belief of endurence.It is certain that Bums was less impulsive and provoctive.with which she could deal with the matters calmly and properly.For example, when Jane Eyer was accused by Mr. Brocklehurst, she acted excessively on the basis of her impulsive emotion . Even at that time she considered death an only way to relief.How terrible it was!According to Bums's opinion, Jane can't comprehand the true meaning of endurence. While I can rarely be in consistent with Bums, and i don't think endurence is a good way to cope with our life .In the first place , we never fail make sure what is right. If the people were alwayse kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust,the wicked people would have it all their ways,they would never feel afraid, and would grow worse and worse. we should be good to those who are good to us.
As Buns said:"how minutely you remember all she has done and said to you!what a sigularly deep impression her injustice seems to have made in your heart!would you not be happier to try to forget her severity?life appears to me too short to be nursing animosity or registering wrongs(对我来说,生命似乎太短暂了,不应该来结仇和记恨)“It hears reasonable.But it seems impossible to forget all the pains,it would also be a miserable procedure that should not be undertaken by the victim. It is unfair!
