一、电影的主题是什么？

This story talks about a famous school, a group of rich students, a great teacher and the
dead poets society. A sad one that can move anyone and cause one to think of our life we are
leading.
The plot is about a number of students who are taught by Williams about life. They are
taught how to enjoy themselves. This ends up causing great controversy among the heads of
the school. The students are terrific and even the dialogue is great.
What this film showed me was that we have the responsibility and the joy of being alive
in this planet. That we are dust, and we will go back to it, so we have precious little time to
make
a
difference.
That
we
have
a
moral
obligation
to

the
day,
and
make
our
lives
extraordinary
That the world, basically is ours. That the only limitations are within ourselves, and that we
owe it to us to fight, to rebel against conformity, to change what we hate and keep what we
love. That living in this world is a beautiful responsibility, and that only cowards dare not to
change it for the better.




This
is
the
story
of
students
at
the
respected
“
Welton
academe
”
,
a
preparatory school in Vermont. Such schools in Vermont. Such schools were(and
often
still
are
)
very
conservative
institutions
that
serve
as
high
schools
for
parents who insist on sending their children to the best university. Welton,
like many prep schools, admitted only boys. The movie takes place in 1959.
Mr.
Keating,
a
young
and
exciting
English
and
poetry
teacher,
who
is
determined
to
teach
his
students
to
life
with
absolute
passion.
Mr.
Keating
,
using
poetry
as his vehicle teaches his students to challenge the institutions around them.
The energetic man asks his student to call him Mr. Keating or
‘
O Captain My
Captain!
’
It
’
s written by a poet named Walt Whitman about Abraham Lincoln.
The private Welton Academy is a lifeless, completely cut off the world school.
You will find the freedom of spirits ,the revelation of souls and the
complicated story happened between the young students

The
movie
was
only
a
group
of
rebellious
students
rebelling
against
traditional education. Right in this time, a non-traditional person happened
to become their teacher. The conclusion was that the non-traditional yielded
to
the
traditional
,
and
the
really
prevailed
against
the
romantic.
The
amazing
behavior at the end of the movie
was
not shallow affectation, but a great
shock
of
audiences
’

hearts.
The
boys
standing
on
the
desks
bid
the
most
formal
farewell
to
their
best
teacher
with
the
firmest
expression
in
their
eyes.

ringing, the bagpipes playing, the movie reached its climax
The second view of the movie left me a clear train of thoughts and a clear
tenet.
Every
class
given
by
Keating
was
a
wonderful
performance,
greatly
inspiring his adolescent students to emancipate themselves from such ideas as
the study only and study for a good school. He knew what they needed most was
to understand life and broaden their mind and vision so that they could shake
off
worldly
affairs
as
fame
and
wealth
and
enjoy
the
life,
love
and
poetic
purity.
His romantic enlightenment had no doubt wielded a profound influence on the
boys
’
mind and soul.

二、你喜欢基廷的教育方式吗？为什么？

The plot is about a number of students who are taught by Williams about life. They are
taught how to enjoy themselves. This ends up causing great controversy among the heads of
the school.
这种教育方式不是简单地传授知识，而是在告诉学生要怎样去认识自己，认识这个
世界。任何知识不是 灌输给学生的，而是被激发出来的。人们天生就有一些才能，这些
才能在教育的过程中被逐渐挖掘出来， 这个过程漫长且不确定。当基廷这样的老师出现
时，这些学生并幸运地被挑选了出来，他们度过了少年时 期一个充满激情的难忘岁月，
尽管故事的结局有些遗憾。

This education is not simply to impart knowledge, but to tell the students
to acknowledge themselves, understanding the world. Students are not been
taught any knowledge, which can be stimulated out . Some people are born to
talent that can be gradually Been excavated
in the education process, but
process seems long and uncertain . When this teacher -Keating -appears, the
students
had
been
luckily
singled
out,
with
a
passionate
and
memorable
teenager
terms, despite the end of the story with some regrets.

三、基廷的教育方式可以被我们模仿吗？如果模仿了，我们会遇到什么困难？

这种教 育方式可能很难被复制，因为这是一个特定时期的产物。是正确的人遇上了
正确的时间。在一个保守而古 老的学校里，这种特别的教育方式显得难以捉摸，我们不
能脱离于这个社会单独地思考问题。在一个传统 教育背景的束缚下，很多事情不是一个
人所能左右的。守旧意味着顽固，而反抗旧的制度意味着要与统治 力量作斗争，这种斗
争必然要带来牺牲，或者也可能被压制。新生力量势必要遭到打击和痛苦。

This
education
may
be
difficult
to
replicate,
because
it
’
s
the
product
of
a
particular
period. When the Appropriate people attend at the right time, this form of education will
happen.
In
a
conservative
and
old
school,
this
particular
form
of
education
seems
extraordinary to achieve , we can not think beyond society . On the background of a
traditional
educational,
many
things
can
not
been
controlled
by
people.
Old-fashioned
means
stubborn, and if we want to resist it , we must conflict with the old institution , that
needs
sacrifice
.But
we
may
still
fail
to
overcome
them
or may
be
suppressed
by
them.
New
force may be hit and suffering will come to us.
四、为什么传统如此强大，我们该如何打破它？

因为传统有一大批人在守护，这些人 无法接受新的事物，新的东西。当新生力量开
始背离了传统的要求时，一些人就会打压新势力，认为他们 是破坏原有和平安定的不良
因素。而且，传统的形成也是经过漫长的发展过程的。经过长期的积累，这些 传统已经
精品文档

被固定化了，变得不可更改。人们熟 悉于那些不变化的模式，因而对于打破传统感到无
比的恐慌。

尽管要打破传统十分艰 难，
但我们仍要坚信一点，
那就是坚持真理。
只有坚定这种信念，
用真理打动 人们，才有可能打破传统。守旧的东西势必要被新生力量代替，那些不合时
宜的顽固也会因为时代的发展 而被淘汰。

Because
a
large
number
of
people
who
guard
the
traditional
society can
not
accept new things and new views. When the new forces began to deviate from the
traditional
society and
depart
its requirements, some people
will suppress the
new
forces
,
which
are
destroying
the
peace
and
stability.
Moreover,
the
tradition

needs
a
long
process
to
be
established.
After
a
long-term
accumulation
,
these
traditions
have
been
fixed,
and
becomes
irrevocable.
It
’
s
insufferable
to
face
the
changing
for
people
who
habit
the
traditional
pattern,
thus feeling panic when the tradition is broken.
Although it
’
s very difficult to break tradition, we still firmly believe to
uphold the truth. Only do believe that truth ,we can persuade people with the
truth, and be possible to break the tradition. We believe that old-fashioned
stuff
must
be
replaced
by
new
forces,
That
outdated
must
be
eliminated
with
the
development of the times.
五、你怎样看待尼尔的死的，它可以避免吗？

尼尔正是因为 他无力打破传统，或者说他在传统面前怯懦，导致他选择了一条极端
的路。虽然他用死亡来诠释他对自由 的向往，对父母的反抗，但这种方式太过激烈了，
他伤害了很多人的情感。
在捍卫自己的信仰和 真理时，
首先要明确自己所要追求是什么。
然后还要明确自己要选择的道路，这条道路可以有很 多方法达到，不必非要用这种残忍
的方式来换取。
尼尔的死告诉我们，
即使他让父母震 惊了，
但是仍然没有取得任何效果。
因为父母仍旧不能理解他的想法，甚至把他的死因归咎于基 廷老师，从而直接导致基廷
老师被驱逐。于是，对自由教育的追求就此停止了，尼尔使事情更加恶化。我 不提倡这
种方式，在与家庭发生冲突时，我认为沟通仍是最主要的。如果父母不能理解孩子的做
法，那么就为自己的理想做出一些成绩，来让父母知道，依靠这种方式我们也可以活得
很好。其实每个父 母都爱着自己的孩子，尽管双方会发生各种矛盾，但这不影响他们爱
孩子的心，只要找到这份亲情，那些 一切都能迎刃而解。

Because
of
his
inability
,Neil
failed
to
break
tradition,
and
he
was
cowardice
in
front
of tradition,
that
led
him
to
choose
a
radical
path.
Although
he used
the death
to
stress
his yearning for freedom ,
and
confliction with his
parents, this approach was too intense, even hurting the feelings of people
who
loved
him.
In
defending
our
faith
and
truth,
we
must
define
what
our
pursuit
is
.
And
then
make
it
clear
that
when
we
choose
a
road,
there
are
also
many
other
ways
you
can
achieve,
without
choosing
this
cruel
way
to
do.
Neil's
death
tells
us
that
even
he
shocked
his
parents,
but
still
did
not
yield
any
results.
Because
the parents still can not understand his ideas, even the death of his blamed
Mr. Keating, that led directly Mr. Keating to be expelled. Thus, the pursuit
of liberal education had to stop at that time, and Neil made things worse. I
do not advocate this approach, in the event of a conflict with family, I think
communication is still the most important. If the parents can not understand
the children's practice, well ,children can make some good results to let
