Every time when I open a text book for English course, I need to take a deep breath beforehand. Just as expected, the process was tough. As the picture on the left shows, the blue parts are Chinese translations of the words I got from Google Dictionary. Actually, I was reluctant to do so for looking words up in dictionary may slow down my reading a lot while those separated translations of words don't seem to help understanding. So I tried to combine the movie we watched in class with the COMENTALE AND JAFFE. I finally came to catch on the scenes in the movie. But everything still seems obsecure to me, I don't see why the Dude was involved in the kidnap of Big Lebowski's wife, why those marmots showed up, why Walter is always so violent, and why Dunny would die in a sudden. Too many questions arose in my mind. So I log on Youtube to search for the movie The Big Lebowski in Chinese version, but failed, only found a advertising vedio for the film which is full of F-word and just F-word. So if someone can describe the whole story to me, I'll be extremely grateful. But I learned the style of Dude from the movie. He's a slacker, always so relaxed, drinking alcohols, driving a broken cab. slackers in China would never 'enjoy' life like this. Dude's house can hold a bourgeois family in China. I see the point why Dude laid back as long as he can enjoy the bowling, bathtub and alcohols. Then I turn to the book Rewriting, I read it much faster than COMENTALE AND JAFFE. Although it seems like a dreary math instruction book, it presented a clear development of ideas. Hope that I can solve my confusions soon!
