Before the national holiday, I read a book Chemical Secret, which was borrowed from Cill and whose author is Tim Vicary, an experienced teacher and writer. With the curiosity, I really want to know what chemical secret is so I choose to read it.
国庆之前,我读了一本书叫《化工秘密》。这本书是从Cill那里借来的,作者是Tim Vicary,一位经验丰富的老师兼作家。出于好奇,我真的很想知道那个化工秘密是什么,因此我看了它
From the abstract of this book, few people commit a crime deliberately, but most people turn blind eyes to some crimes, such as destroying the sky, the sea and land. They are harmful to our earth, but some of us still close our eyes and pretend not to see it.
从这本书的摘要我们知道,很少人蓄意犯罪,但是大部分人对一些犯罪行为视而不见,比如说破坏天空,海洋和土地等等。他们对我们的地球是有害的,但是我们中的一些人仍然闭上眼睛装作看不见。
The protagonist, John Duncan, 45 years old, is a biologist and father of two children. He is a knowledgeable and honesty person, but when he is in front of fame and wealth, he becomes a blind man and liar.
主人公John Duncan45岁,是个生物学家,同时也是两个孩子的父亲。他是个学士渊博而且诚实的人,但是在名利面前他就变成了一个瞎子和骗子。
Happiness won’t last forever. John lived a happy life and ran a business when his wife, a famous sailor, was still alive. But after his wife died in a storm, he became a poor man. Leaving his two children, he found it hard to live.Actually, they lived in a old flat and ate awful food.
幸福并不会永远持续。当他的妻子还活着的时候John过着幸福的生活并经营着生意。但是他的妻子在一次暴风雨中趋势以后,他就变成了一个贫穷的男人。离开他的两个孩子,他发现生活很艰难。事实上,他们住在一间旧公寓而且吃得很差。
Luck would come later. Fortunately, John took a job at a chemical factory where he made paint for cars after an interview. His work was just to make sure that everything here was safe, but the boss, David, would give him a high salary. On Monday, Mary, David’s secretary, showed him around the factory. This company was beginning to make a lot of money from this paint.
后来运气降临到他的身上。幸运的是,John在一个化工厂找了一分工作,面试之后他就在那里做汽车涂料。他的工作只是确保每样东西是安全的,并且老板David会给他很高的薪酬。星期一,David的秘书玛丽带他到工厂转了一圈。这个公司就要从这种涂料中大赚一笔。
However, John was shocked by an experiment that the baby rat whose mother have had a lot of these chemical in their drinking water. So he wrote a report and persuade his boss to build some machines to clean the waste products, but it was useless. But if he keeps the secret,he will gain much more money or he will lost the job. John chose to keep it. But Mary left after knowing the fact. On a public inquiry, John said the waste products were not dangerous because no one would drink the water with them. Nevertheless, his face turned gray when he heard that his daughter who have been pregnant, had drank them in an accident to fight to this factory ,so he felt so guilty about his behaviors.
然而,约翰感到震惊是婴儿鼠的实验,它们的母亲喝了很多有这些化学品的水。因此他写了一分报告并且说服他的老板用些机器来清理废品,但是这样并没有起到作用。但是如果他保守秘密的话,他就会得到更多的钱,否则他就会失去这份工作。John选择了报数秘密。但是玛丽知道事实后离开了。在一次公众的询问下,John说废弃品没有危险因为没有人会喝这些水。虽然如此,当他听说他怀着孕的女儿为了与这个工厂做斗争喝了这些水的时候他的脸变灰了,所以他对自己的行为感到内疚。
After reading it, I realize that we only have one earth, everyone has responsibilities to protect it. John isn't a good father, he hides the fact and tells a lie. But his daughter fight to the chemical factory and protect people’s right. We should learn form her and try our best to protect our environment from polluting.What’s more, I hate the boss who just thinks about the benefit of himself, I think there are some businessmen like this boss,they are so selfish and this boss just a reflection of the bad business men.
读完这本书后,我意识到我们只有一个地球,每个人都有责任保护它。John不是一位好父亲,他隐瞒事实说了谎话。但是他的女儿与化工厂斗争,并且维护了人们的权利。我们应该像她学习,尽我们最大努力保护环境不受污染。另外,我很讨厌那个只考虑自己利益的老板。我认为还有一些像这个老板的商人,他们是如此的自私,这个老板只是那些坏的商人的象征。
Finally, whatever you do and whoever you are, you must think about the people and show respect to them. We live in the same earth, so please try to take care of it. If you can’t do that, you will be punished sooner or later.
最后,不论你做什么,也不论你是谁,你必须考虑到别人并尊重他们。我们生活在同一个地球,所以请尽力去保护它。如果你做不到,你迟早会受到惩罚的。
