All the Light We Cannot See is a fictional novel written by Antony Doerr. The story is set in World War II ?in France and Germany. It is a story about a girl and a boy who live in different places and have completely different life. They dont know each other at all. The girl， Marie， is a blind girl living with her father， and they move to Saint Malo to Maries uncles house. The boy Werner is an orphan1 living in Germany with his sister， then he joined the strict school far away from home...

《所有我們看不見的光》是一部由安東尼·多爾所寫的小說(shuō)。故事發(fā)生在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)時(shí)的法國(guó)和德國(guó)。這是一個(gè)關(guān)于生活在不同地方、生活完全不同的女孩和男孩的故事。他們根本不認(rèn)識(shí)對(duì)方。這個(gè)女孩，瑪麗，是一個(gè)和父親住在一起的盲女，他們搬到圣馬洛的瑪麗叔叔的家。男孩維爾納是一個(gè)孤兒，他和妹妹住在德國(guó)，然后他進(jìn)入了遠(yuǎn)離家鄉(xiāng)的一所嚴(yán)格的學(xué)?！?/p>

The story is written in a unique2 way. One chapter is about Marie， the chapter after is about Werner， then the next is back to Marie...Each chapters are short. The storyline is like twined together. However， the two of the main characters never seems to have chance to meet. It is almost like two separate storyies in one book. This let us wonder how Marie and Werner are going to meet， or whether they are going to meet at all...The questions are left for us to find out in the book.

該故事以獨(dú)特的方式展開。一章是關(guān)于瑪麗的，后面一章關(guān)于維爾納，然后下一章回到瑪麗……每章都很簡(jiǎn)短。故事情節(jié)就像纏繞在一起，然而兩個(gè)主角似乎從來(lái)沒有機(jī)會(huì)見面，它幾乎就像一本書中的兩個(gè)獨(dú)立的故事。這讓我們很想知道瑪麗和維爾納會(huì)如何見面，或者他們是否會(huì)見面……這些問(wèn)題留待我們到書中去尋找答案。

The sea of flame is a stone which will give its owner wealth， but give bad luck to the people the owner cares at the same time. This is an old legend， but it may be true as well. The mystery of this precious stone is also one of the main line in the story. It seemed Marie and her father had got the real stone， but they cannot make sure and that is supposed to be a secret. Meanwhile other people are trying to get the stone as well...This fairy tale style lit-tle story stands out in the book， because the rest of the book is just full of reasonable things. It makes the whole book like a mix of fantasy and real facts， both mysterious and serious.

火焰之海是一塊石頭，它會(huì)給它的主人帶來(lái)財(cái)富，但同時(shí)給主人所關(guān)心的人帶來(lái)厄運(yùn)。這是一個(gè)古老的傳說(shuō)，但也可能是真的。這塊寶石的神秘面紗也是故事中的主線之一。瑪麗和她的父親似乎得到了真正的石頭，但他們無(wú)法確定，這本該是一個(gè)秘密。與此同時(shí)，其他人也試圖得到這塊石頭……這本童話風(fēng)格的小故事在書中脫穎而出，因?yàn)楸緯溆嗟牟糠殖錆M了合理的東西。這使整本書充滿幻想和真正的事實(shí)，既神秘又嚴(yán)肅。

Except for the stories happening， there are also many deep meanings in the book. When the German government set stricter restrictions to citizens slowly， Madame Manec said，“Do you know what happens when you put the frog in a pot of cool water and then slowly bring it to a boil？ You know what happens then？ The frog cooks.” She is comparing themselves to the frog， and the Ger-mans to the person who boils the frog. The policies3 and restrictions4 the German give the citizens is like boiling the frog， they act is slowly and gradually increase the rate， so that the citizens will not feel wrong instantly5， just like the frog waiting to be boiled. This is a strong metaphor6 and it gave me clear impressions.

除了發(fā)生的故事外，書中還有很多深刻的含義。當(dāng)?shù)聡?guó)政府逐漸對(duì)公民施加更嚴(yán)格的限制時(shí)，馬內(nèi)克夫人說(shuō)：“你知道當(dāng)你把青蛙放入一盆涼水中，然后慢慢煮沸時(shí)會(huì)發(fā)生什么嗎？你知道之后會(huì)發(fā)生什么嗎？青蛙湯?！彼龑⒆约罕茸髑嗤?，將德國(guó)人比作煮青蛙的人。德國(guó)給市民的政策和限制就像煮青蛙一樣，他們的行為正在慢慢地逐漸加速，使市民不會(huì)立即感到不對(duì)勁，就像等待煮沸的青蛙一樣。這是一個(gè)強(qiáng)烈的比喻，它給我留下了深刻的印象。

Whats more， Werners situation in the“school” is also like the cooked frog. Werner and the boys were like the frog， while the school and the instructors were like the one who cooks the frog. At first they let the boys do things that were relatively7 less unfair， like choosing the weak ones; when they got used to that， they were forced to do more cruel things like pulling water on the criminal. This process was going on and on， overtime the boys became numb， until they were all calm even when they saw murders of innocent8 people. This is just like the frog in the water waiting to be boiled， the longtime had weakened their senses.

而且，維爾納在“學(xué)?！钡那闆r也像煮熟的青蛙一樣。維爾納和男孩們就像青蛙一樣，學(xué)校和教練就像是烹飪青蛙的人。起初，他們讓男孩們做一些相對(duì)公平一些的事情，就像挑選弱者;當(dāng)他們習(xí)慣了這一點(diǎn)時(shí)，就被迫去做更多殘忍的事情，比如給犯罪分子潑水。這個(gè)過(guò)程一直在持續(xù)，時(shí)間過(guò)了許久之后，男孩們變得麻木起來(lái)，直到他們即使看到無(wú)辜的人被殺也無(wú)動(dòng)于衷。就像水中的青蛙等待煮沸一樣，長(zhǎng)期以來(lái)的麻木削弱了他們的感情。

The theme of this story is warmth of people， and how people survive9 the war with their kindness and love in heart. The power of kindness is really strong， especially in the harsh cruel environment during the war， when peoples hearts are more vulnerable10.

這個(gè)故事的主題是人性中的溫暖，人們?nèi)绾慰可屏己蛢?nèi)心的愛在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)中活下去。善良的力量非常強(qiáng)大，尤其是在戰(zhàn)爭(zhēng)期間的殘酷環(huán)境中，人們的心靈更加脆弱。

I will recommend this book to my classmates who are interested in history and warm stories. There are really many moments in the book when you can feel the kindness and warmth of people. Overall it is a good book to read.

我會(huì)把這本書推薦給對(duì)歷史和溫馨的故事感興趣的同學(xué)。書中有很多時(shí)刻讓你可以感受到人們的善良和溫暖?？偟膩?lái)說(shuō)，這是一本值得閱讀的好書。
