爱，总是向下而不是向上的。


Guess how much i love you中文名《猜猜我有多爱你》是我喜欢的绘本中的又一本。

其实我第一次接触这个绘本的时候看的是中文版本，

那时候还根本都还没有小孩，更无法体会字里行间深深的爱。

那时候会被这本书吸引无非是喜欢上了里面的生动画面和兔子母子二人有趣的对话

我的领悟能力又一向比较低下，我都没看出那什么孩子爱比较的主题来。

直到去年，我又一次看到一篇小文章：

讲的是一对母女在卫生间的对话。

母亲说:Ｉlove you. 这对母女进行这样的对话不止一次了

所以女儿听到妈妈这样回答往往会说：I love you too.

然后妈妈又说：I love you more

女儿说I love you the most之类的话。

可是这一次女儿又给出了一个让妈妈很吃惊的答案，原文我全忘了。

只是当时我看到这篇文章马上就联想到了这本Guess How Much I Love You 来

于是又找出了这本书。

每次看到结尾处就会想到民间流传的一句话——

爱总是向下而不是向上的

 

兔子宝宝的爱只是远到月亮上去"I love you right up to the MOON," 可是我们来看看兔子妈妈的爱吧——

这个时候我已经有了妙妙，这个时候的我真的对这句话感受颇深。

比如说，我回到家称呼的第一人由妈妈变成了妙妙，我的爱已经自然而然地从母亲身上转移到了孩子身上；

比如说，我们过年不回老家去，家里的老人就不远千里赶过来，为的就是能和我们团圆一次；

比如说，我们为了不放弃自己的工作又难以支付保姆的工资，爸爸妈妈就会放弃在老家安逸的生活忘了路途的艰辛来到我们身边为我们照顾小孩；

比如说，我的博客里记录的绝大部分都是妙妙的琐事，而对于父母绝只字未提，唯一提到过的一两次说不定还是抱怨；

比如说，我有什么好吃的好玩的会第一时间想到妙妙，然后再想到爸爸妈妈；

比如说，比如说的事情太多太多了。

爱总是向下的而不是向上的，这句话就像一个魔咒一样。

所以当我再次读到这本书的时候，我就那么自然地想到了这句话。

不知道是自然规律还是只适用于我个人。

 

这句话当然这个绘本的英文版无疑还为众多有志学习英语的朋友提供了很好的机会。个人觉得如果是出于语言学习的目的，这本书有下面几个看点——

1.词汇：this much

书中几次用到这个词。这个词在口语中表达程度的时候使用频率可不是一般的高哦。可能我们大部分人习惯说so much,但是却不知道this much说出口其实更能显得说话者很地道。

2.句型1：as...as...

"I love you as high as I can reach,"said Little Nutbrown Hare.
"I love you as high as I can reach,"said Big Nutbrown Hare.
...书中有很多as...as...的句型，反复的出现正好符合语言学习的特点。

句型2：I wish...

I wish I had arms like that.
I wish I could hop like that.

...坚信它，现实生活中其实虚拟语气处处可见。所以要好好学习哦。

 

鉴于对这本书的语言学习方面已经有非常专业的介绍了，所以这里我就只点到为止，不多啰嗦了吧。晚安。 

 

 

 附上原文供大家欣赏学习：

　Little Nutbrown Hare, who was going to bed, held on tight
　　to Big Nutbrown Hare's very long ears.
　　He wanted to be sure that Big Nutbrown Hare was listening.
　　"Guess how much I love you," he said.
　　"Oh, I don't think I could guess that,"said Big Nutbrown
　　Hare.
　　"This much,"said Little Nutbrown Hare, stretching out his
　　arms as wide as they could go.
　　Big Nutbrown Hare had even longer arms.
　　"But I love YOU this much,"he said.
　　Hmm, that is a lot, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
　　"I love you as high a I can reach,"said Little Nutbrown
　　Hare.
　　"I love you as high as I can reach,"said Big Nutbrown
　　Hare.
　　That is quite high, thought Little Nutbrown Hare. I wish
　　I had arms like that.
　　Then Little Nutbrown Hare had a good idea. He
　　tumbled upside down and reached up the tree trunk
　　with his feet. "I love you all the way up to my
　　toes!"he said.
　　"And I love you all the way up to your toes,"
　　said Big Nutbrown Hare, swinging him up over his
　　head.
　　"I love you as high as I can HOP!" laughed Little
　　Nutbrown Hare, bouncing up and down.
　　"But I love you as high as I can hop," smiled
　　Big Nutbrown Hare - and he hopped so high that
　　his ears touched the branches above.
　　That's good hopping, thought Little Nutbrown
　　Hare. I wish I could hop like that.
　　"I love you all the way down the lane as far
　　as the river," cried Little Nutbrown Hare.
　　"I love you across the river and over the hills,"
　　said Big Nutbrown Hare.
　　
　　That's very far, thought Little Nutbrown Hare.
　　He was almost too sleepy to think any more. Then
　　he looked beyond the thorn bushes, out into the
　　big dark night. Nothing could be further than the
　　sky.
　　"I love you right up to the MOON," he said, and
　　closed his eyes. "Oh, that's far," said Big Nutbrown
　　Hare. "That is very, very far."
　　Big Nutbrown Hare settled Little Nutbrown Hare
　　into his bed of leaves.He leaned over and kissed
　　him good night.Then he lay down close by and
　　whispered with a smile, "I love you right up to
　　the moon - AND BACK."
