⑵ 谁有《朗读者》这部电影的英文简介急！！

简介
THE READER opens in post-WWII Germany when teenager Michael Berg becomes ill and is helped home by Hanna, a stranger twice his age. Michael recovers from scarlet fever and seeks out Hanna to thank her. The two are quickly drawn into a passionate but secretive affair. Michael discovers that Hanna loves being read to and their physical relationship deepens. Hanna is enthralled as Michael reads to her from "The Odyssey," "Huck Finn" and "The Lady with the Little Dog." Despite their intense bond, Hanna mysteriously disappears one day and Michael is left confused and heartbroken. Eight years later, while Michael is a law student observing the Nazi war crime trials, he is stunned to find Hanna back in his life - this time as a defendant in the courtroom. As Hanna's past is revealed, Michael uncovers a deep secret that will impact both of their lives. THE READER is a story about truth and reconciliation, about how one generation comes to terms with the crimes of another. Written by The Weinstein Company

Middle aged German barrister Michael Berg recollects to himself his lifelong acquaintance with Hanna Schmitz, a relationship with whom he never disclosed to anyone close to him. Michael first met Hanna in 1958, when he was fifteen, she thirty-one. The two had a turbulent summer long love affair, dictated by Hanna that their encounters would begin with him reading to her followed by lovemaking. Michael next encountered Hanna in 1966, when Michael, now a law student, attended the Nazi war crimes trial of five female former S.S. concentration camp guards, one of whom is Hanna. Through listening to the testimony, Michael comes to the realization that he is in possession of information which could save Hanna from a life in prison, information which she herself is unwilling to disclose. In deciding what to do, Michael is torn between his differing views of justice.

较详细的
Michael Berg (David Kross), a fifteen year old young man living in Berlin in 1958, gets off the tram, cks into a doorway and vomits. An woman in her mid thirties (Kate Winslet) sees him and, after cleaning up after him, helps him get home. The doctor diagnoses him with scarlet fever and orders three months bedrest. All Michael can do is examine his stamps and bide his time.

When he is better, he returns to the apartment building to deliver a bouquet of flowers in thanks to the woman. She is matter of fact with him but asks him to escort her to work on the tramline. But when she catches him spying on her as she dresses, he runs away in shame. When he returns to apologize a few days later, she seces him. He persuades her to tell him her name -- Hanna. Michael returns to her every day after school, rejecting the clear interest of girls his own age. She asks him to read to her, and he brings her great works of world literature. He sells his stamps so they can go on a bicycle tour in the countryside. When Hanna is promoted by the tram company, she becomes unsettled and snaps at Michael when he tries to read her Chekhov's "The Lady with the Dog." They make love one last time and she then moves away without telling him where she is going. Michael is heartbroken.

Eight years later (1966), Michael attends Heidelberg Law School. He is part of a seminar on the Holocaust, taught by Rohl (Bruno Ganz). The class attends the joint trial of six former guards at Auschwitz. Michael is shocked to learn that Hanna is one of the defendants. He is appalled to learn that Hanna was responsible for selecting Jewish women to be sent to death camps and was part of the forced march of hundreds of Jews from one camp to another; when the building in which the Jewish women were being housed overnight was set afire, Hanna and the other guards let them burn to death because to free them would have risked too much chaos. Hanna does not deny what she did and even rationalizes it. During testimony, it is revealed that Hanna had had camp prisoners read to her at night. The other guards claim that Hanna was the instigator of all the crimes and, rather than submit to a handwriting sample to disprove their claims, agrees with them. In the audience, Michael realizes that Hanna wanted others to read to her because she is illiterate. Urged on by Rohl but disturbed by a classmate who believes former Nazis should be killed, Michael tries to visit Hanna in prison to encourage her to tell the truth but, ashamed of his past with her, decides not to. Hanna is sentenced to life in prison.

As an alt, Michael (Ralph Fiennes) marries and has a daughter but remains emotionally withdrawn. His marriage ends and he becomes distant from his daughter. Discovering the books he had read to Hanna decades earlier, he re-establishes contact with her by reading the books into a tape recorder and sending them to her in prison. Using them as a guide, Hanna teaches herself to read and write. She sends him letters in return but he never responds. When it is time for her parole in 1990, Michael is the only person the prison social worker can contact. He reluctantly agrees to sponsor Hanna. He finds an apartment and job for her but, when he visits her a week before she is to be released, he is aloof to her. She tells him that before the trial, she never thought about what she did as an SS guard but thinks about nothing else now. After he leaves, she commits suicide. In her will, she asks Michael to give her life's savings to the family of one of the prisoners at Auschwitz. Michael visits the woman's daughter (Lena Olin) in New York and confesses his affair with Hanna for the first time. She refuses to forgive or accept the money but instead takes the tea tin Hanna had kept the money in, as it reminds her of a tin she had before she was sent to Auschwitz as a child. They agree to give the money to a Jewish literacy organization.

In 1995, Michael reunites with his daughter, Julia (Hannah Herzsprung), who has just returned from a year in Paris. He admits his failings as a father and drives her to a church that he and Hanna had visited ring their bicycle tour nearly forty years earlier. He shows her Hanna's grave and begins to tell her his and Hanna's story.

------

''The Reader'' begins in 1995 Berlin, where a well-dressed Michael Berg is preparing breakfast for a woman who has one-night stand|spent the night at his apartment. The two part awkwardly, and as Michael watches an Berlin S-Bahn pass by outside afterwards the film flashes back to another tram in 1958 Neustadt. An unhappy-looking teenaged Michael gets off but wanders around the streets afterwards, finally pausing in the entryway of a nearby apartment building where he starts to vomiting|vomit. Hanna Schmitz, the tram Conctor, comes in and assists him in returning home. Michael is diagnosed with scarlet fever and must rest at home for the next three months. After he recovers he visits Hanna at her apartment and thanks her. The two begin an affair that lasts through that summer. Their liaisons, at her apartment, are characterized by him reading literary works he is studying in school to her, such as ''The Odyssey'', "The Lady with the Dog" and ''The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn''. After the two go on a bicycling trip and Hanna is promoted to the offices at the tram company, she abruptly moves without letting Michael know where she has gone.

After another brief return to the alt Michael, who drives to a court where he is a lawyer, we see him again at Heidelberg University in 1966. As part of a special seminar taught by Professor Rohl, a camp survivor, he observes a trial of several women who were accused of letting 300 Jewish women die in a burning church when they were SS guards on the Death marches following the 1944 evacuation of Auschwitz concentration camp. Michael is stunned to see that Hanna is one of the defendants.

He visits a former camp himself to try to come to terms with this. The trial divides the seminar, with one student angrily saying there is nothing to be learned from it other than that evil acts occurred. He tells Rohl that the older generation of Germans should kill themselves for their failure to act then and now.

The key evidence is the testimony of Ilana Mather, a young Jewish woman who has written a memoir about how she and her mother survived. When Hanna testifies, unlike her fellow defendants, she admits that she was aware Auschwitz was an extermination camp and that the ten women she chose ring each month's were subsequently gassed. She denies authorship of a report on the barn fire, despite pressure from the other defendants, but then admits it when asked to provide a handwriting sample.

Michael then realizes Hanna's secret: she is illiterate and has made many of her life choices to conceal that. Even her choice to join the SS was made because of her desire to avoid a job promotion meaning she would have had to reveal her illiteracy. Without being specific, Michael informs Rohl that he has information favorable to one of the defendants but is not sure what to do since the defendant herself wants to avoid disclosing this. Rohl tells him that if he has learned nothing from the past there is no point in having the seminar.

Hanna receives a ife sentence for her role in the church deaths while the other defendants get terms of a few years. Michael meanwhile marries, has a daughter and divorces. Rediscovering his books and notes from the time of his affair with Hanna, he begins reading some of those works into a tape recorder. He sends the cassettes and another tape recorder to her in prison. Eventually she uses these to teach herself to read the books themselves from the prison library, and writes back to him.

Michael does not write back or visit, but keeps sending tapes, and in 1988 the prison's warden writes to him to seek his help in arranging for her after her forthcoming release. He finds a place for her to live and a job, and sees her in person to tell her these things. The night before her sentence ends she hangs herself and leaves a note to Michael and a tea tin with cash in it.

Later, Michael travels to New York. He meets Ilana and confesses his past relationship with Hanna to her. He tells her that Hanna was illiterate for most of her life but that her suicide note told him to give both the cash, some money she had in a bank account and the tea tin to Ilana. After telling Michael there is nothing to be learned from the camps and that he should go to the theater if he is seeking catharsis. Michael suggests that he donate the money to a organization that combats alt illiteracy, preferably a Jewish one, and she agrees. Ilana keeps the tea tin since it is similar to one she herself had owned before being sent to the camps, where it was taken from her to be melted down.

The film ends with Michael getting back together with his daughter, Julia, whom he admits he has grown apart from. He takes her to Hanna's grave and begins to tell her the story.

⑶ 电影《朗读者》主要讲了什么

《朗读者》是由美国韦恩斯坦国际影业公司出品的剧情片，由史蒂芬·戴德利执导，凯特·温丝莱特、大卫·克劳斯、拉尔夫·费因斯领衔主演。该片于2008年12月10日在美国纽约首映 。

《朗读者》根据德国作家本哈德·施林克的同名小说改编，讲述了20世纪五十年代少年迈克和中年女子汉娜展开的一段刻骨铭心的爱情故事。

故事的结尾，早为人父的男子带着女儿去缅怀这位女士，并对她说出所有的实情，以此来告知女儿自己所背负的东西。从表面上看，故事将的是这个男人，但是其实质上却说的是德国人面对二战之后矛盾的态度，犯罪的人是自己的国家，民族，也是自己的亲人，朋友。如果你有裁决的权利，而犯罪的人又是你的亲人，你能让他去死吗？这是一个血淋淋的命题。当然其实故事也说明白了，该死的其实都没有死，受审的大部分都只是替罪羊而已。

⑷ 朗读者讲的是什么

当情欲演变成爱情，他便已经坠入了最黑暗的深渊，就像滚烫的烙铁被按在了最稚嫩的肌肤之上，而她在他身上所留下的记忆烙印，将伴随他一生之久。
——基督山伯爵 题

《朗读者》本身应该属于一个爱情故事，然而这个爱情故事却涉及到了比爱情主题更高的内容，对于战争的反思，对于人性的反思。男孩无意间邂逅的那个女人在消失多年之后出现在了二战战犯的审判席上，她同其他几位妇女一同被控告参与了对犹太人的屠杀行为。尽管我们在影片中没有看到一套党卫军制服，没有看到一个党卫军的标志，但是这种指责却比利剑更加具有穿透力，这把利剑所选择的刺入点是战争年代中那些最普通的妇女，像汉娜这样的妇女。她们软弱、没有依靠、甚至没有文化，然而却在无知的情况下完成了一次次惨绝人寰的罪行。与受害者相比，到底谁的经历更具有悲剧性？受害者死了，汉娜还活着，这种苍白地生存其实比死亡更加可怕，就好比是坠入了无间地狱，“为无量受业报之界”，汉娜得用自己的一生来反省自己犯下的罪，而偏偏这样的要求对于一个文盲来说又显得如此矛盾
《朗读者》的故事可以有很多层面的挖掘，就好比一千个人心中有一千个哈姆雷特，你可以觉得它关注的焦点是二战中灭绝人性的屠杀，而并非爱情本身；当然也可以把它当成一个纯粹的爱情故事。这种独特性是影片自身所特有的，它包含了人类社会中最敏感的主题，也包含了社会中那些最人本的东西。所有的一切都有着自身的不确定性，情欲可以变成爱情，无知可以变成屠刀，希望可以变成动力，随着时间不断前进，每一个人在镜子中的线条都发生着变化。

⑹ 美国电影《朗读者》谁能评论一下，谢谢。谢谢了，大神帮忙啊

对美国电影《朗读者》的评论： 影片中，麦克对自己的女儿说，“其实一直以来我都不够坦诚。”不管对别人还是对自己。《朗读者》在一代对又一代的“坦诚”中，让我们洞悉了一个时代的真相。宣泄也是窝藏了一种难以言明的情感。如今的我们在重新面对一些我们总是规避的历史时，到底要坦诚到何种程度才会令人信服？令人理解呢？只不过拂去历史的尘埃，沉甸甸的真相却总无法让你我坦然接受。那么这种坦诚，又将置于何地呢？ 影片中大卫和凯特的多场激情戏的确是以性为切入口，那么大的年龄差距却发生地似乎合情合理。两个演员的表演丝毫不会让人产生异样的感觉，在我看来这是影片营造的特殊氛围的原因。在这样一种即便是夏天也感到潮湿干冷的环境中，一个情窦初开的少年和一个单纯冷练的少妇，以纯粹情欲萌发的情感，在温良的澡盆中，在赤裸的交欢中，甚至在那次外人眼中的“母子”郊游中，都不会显得别扭，相反，正如这段情感对两个人一生的影响，他们在此后的一生中，似乎都在怀念和支撑着这份情感。导演对于这样一种情感的坦诚把握，三个演员对于这样一种情感的微妙诠释，都淡化了这份畸恋本身不协调的作祟，反而让我们感动。 然而真正带我们穿越情感命题的是影片真正主题的引入和升华。在这份畸恋不可避免地出现失和冲突时，汉娜选择了悄无声息地离开。而在多年后，麦克作为法学院学生参加审判二战中纳粹罪行的听证会时，他惊愕地发现汉娜竟然是被指控谋杀300名犹太人的战犯。至此，支撑影片后半部也是带领整部影片升华的两大主题出现，其一是对那段黑暗历史的人文反思，另一个便是对于知识这一命题本身的思考。 法庭上的汉娜，她并没有像其它一同被指认的罪犯一样，否认自己的罪行，而是坚定异常地坦诚一切。“是的，是我做得”。我们在惊异于她“冷酷”“无知”的态度时，也不免跟随她一同回望那个所有人看来都愤懑的黑暗时代。在奥斯维辛集中营，多少无辜的犹太人被纳粹分子惨绝人寰地屠戮。汉娜也是侩子手之一。的确，看过电影，我们不能因为她当时的无知就原谅她，像影片中那个幸存的作家一样，绝对不会宽恕她。然而突破个人的道德情感规范，而上升到一个狂热时代的集体无意识来说，汉娜自身不也是一个悲剧和受害者么？她执拗遵循的规范，她坚守的职责，竟然是她眼睁睁看着300人被大火烧死的辩词。她那句诘问大法官的话，换了你，你会怎么做？其实是会让所有人无语的。习惯了站在一定道德高度和“他人”视角来批判审视别人的集体，难倒不是我们的悲剧被一次次复制的源泉么？想必导演和观众，包括你我也绝对不会宽恕和原谅汉娜的作为，可是她却是能够被理解的。而且她的例子也是能够被我们，被时代警醒的。 然而相比与她一同坐在被告席，却昧着良心将所有罪责扣到汉娜身上的真正的罪犯来说，汉娜冒着傻气的执拗却显得那样坦诚和真实。影片出来后，导演斯蒂芬·达尔德里接到的最大批评便是他用一种艺术化的手法给残酷的历史披上了温情的外衣，甚至站到理解罪恶的立场上来描绘汉娜这个人物。然而我倒觉得，导演恰是真正理解了那个时代，那些沾满鲜血的手中，也有这样一种被无意识推搡裹挟的人物。他并没有理解罪恶，而是理解人性和时代的无奈；他也没有要为汉娜们拨乱反正，而是希望我们在缅怀、批判、挞伐那些我们不堪回望的岁月时，需要有一种警醒，一种坦诚的正视。因此如果说导演真的在批判唾弃谁的话，那肯定是那些被判了4年刑期的黠笑流泪的“忏悔者”。 麦克这个角色其实是夹在历史、情感、道德、理性之间的感知者。他与汉娜的那种情感让他相信汉娜的为人，他对历史的理性认识却又让他无法回避对于汉娜们的道德批判和法律批判。因此影片中在宣判汉娜无期徒刑时，麦克难以掩抑地留下两行热泪，以及他目睹审判过程中的慌乱无措神伤，还有他去探望汉娜可最终转身离去，这都让整部影片提升了人文关怀的力量。像是蒙着眼睛的象征着法律的女神一样。我不想附和说这是导演身披的温情的外衣，因为在我看来，这恰是这个导演在坦诚面对历史时心中怀有的爱和力量。 关于影片的另一个主题，也是贯穿影片始终的表象上的主题：朗读，却让我们得以从更多一层和另一个侧面来看待汉娜和麦克这两个人物，以及整部电影寄予的深思。汉娜和麦克认识时，让麦克给她朗读小说，只有这样才和他做爱。而当初她在看守犹太人时，也选小女孩给她读小说。其实汉娜是个文盲，可是她渴求着知识，她会听小说时开心、哭泣。然而这样一个人在面对共犯的栽赃时，为了不让别人知道自己是文盲，保有最后的尊严，她宁愿选择终身监禁。导演这种设置一来是给无知一种批判，也是给知识一种崇高的寄托。无知本身并不是罪恶，可知识却往往给别有用心的人利用。像守卫的汉娜，她也许只是想好好地本分地做个守卫，可却在时代个狂热中成为了阶下囚。而我国在文革时期，不也有很多汉娜稀里糊涂地做了侩子手么？

求采纳

⑺ 朗读者电影

可以找

⑻ 朗读者这部影片到底想通过剧情表达什么内容没看懂诶……而且汉娜根本不识字，为什么审判时还要说报告是

生死朗读？看的时候好像有隐晦的说明，汉娜这个人的自尊心非常强，不愿在众人面前暴露自己不识字事实，所以才对供认不讳。
个人理解，错了或不喜勿喷：这部片子的背景是在二战后的德国，故事一开始是一个中年女人汉娜和一个少年米夏的短暂恋情的开始，后来汉娜做了纳粹集中营的看守。几年后，米夏作为法学院的学生在老师的带领下旁听这场对纳粹战犯的审判，看见了身为犯人的汉娜。米夏因多方原因没有替汉娜辩解，而汉娜也不愿意暴露自己不识字，因此汉娜被定罪。
米夏在汉娜入狱后，不断录各种小说的带子给汉娜寄去，多年一直坚持不断，而汉娜也终于在录音带的帮助下认识了字，并给米夏寄去信件，但米夏一次也未回。而米夏也已在汉娜入狱后结婚后又离婚并有了一个女儿。
汉娜已白发苍苍，出狱的时间到了，米夏愿意给汉娜提供物质上的帮助，却拒绝和她沟通，后汉娜因此在狱中自杀。
而米夏为了减轻愧疚感帮忙把汉娜留下来的钱给了在纳粹集中营受到伤害的人，同时也帮汉娜辩解。
嗯，只看了一遍，大概印象便是这些，觉得有批判纳粹集中营。看到最后只觉得汉娜完全影响了米夏的一生，很多电影都描写过德国纳粹集中营，穿条纹睡衣的男孩也是，还不错，你可以看一下。
PS：我完全是手打的。。。。

⑼ 如何理解电影《朗读者》(The Reader)

这部影片之所以深受好评，凯特·温丝莱特完美的表现首当其冲，美国有媒体表示“我有多久没有为一个虚构的角色而感动了？凯特·温丝莱特在本片的演出无可挑剔。”这样的评价令人信服。《朗读者》通过党卫队成员汉娜这个角色，以及他与米夏·伯格之间的情爱关系，展现了二战期间德国纳、粹集、中营的情况，并且从一个特别的角度，对战争中的屠杀、纷争和人性的扭曲、包容和理解，客观而又深刻的表达出被害者的痛苦。影片中的纳粹战争，没有武器、没有徽章、没有流血，甚至没有任何室外戏来表现。但我们却看到了人们对战争的诘问、痛恨和争论，汉娜显然是罪犯中最特殊的一个，导演没有将她的感想完全表露出来，而是始终选择通过第三人的角度对她进行观察和叙述，因此观众和她之间始终是存在一定距离感的。我们也只能从男孩米夏·伯格、二战受害者和监狱管理人员的嘴中得知她的所为所感。
可以说，凯特·温丝莱特在《朗读者》中为我们奉献了伟大的表演，从而使她成为在奥斯卡影后争夺战中，梅丽尔·斯特里普最直接最有力的竞争者。此前表现二战题材的影片多部胜数，但《朗读者》却是那么的与众不同，影片通过凯特扮演的汉娜，让我们看到在那场战争中有许多毫不自觉的参与到其中的人，他们拥有羞耻心和完整的人格，对工作认真负责，是极好的社会成员和产业工作者，但在当时无法想像的残酷时局下，他们却不经意的成为战争的参与者，成为别人罪恶行径的执行者，这种遭遇所带来的心理负担和负罪感，同样难以抚平。导演史蒂芬·戴德利对此也是感慨良多：“在某种程度上而言，他们也是受害者，只是从来就没有人关注过他们。

可以说这是一部关于忏悔与救赎的电影，男女主人公一生都深陷自己的过去而不能自拔。年轻时的米夏·伯格，放弃了身边充满阳光、欢声笑语的生活和好朋友，每天很早的回到那个阴暗狭小的房间中。而汉娜也在他生日的时候选择了离开，去经历她人生中最灰暗的时刻。于是两人骑车漫步乡野，共进午餐的欢乐时光，便成了他们一生中最快乐的瞬间。

片中扮演成年米夏·伯格的拉尔夫·费因斯，则早先在《辛德勒的名单》中主演过这类二战纳粹题材的影片，同是英国演员的他和凯特·温丝莱特在《朗读者》里优秀的演出令人过目不忘，而且俩人的德国英语的确纯正，为影片加分不少。当然，这部影片也不是没有争议，比如凯特·温丝莱特和扮演少年米夏的演员大卫·克劳斯之间的情爱戏，其实是非常真实、精彩的，可惜影片公映后带来的负面新闻事件令人们难免感到些许不快。

此前媒体和影迷都将目光集中在凯特·温丝莱特在老公导演的《革命之路》上，她的表演也的确值得称赞，但无论是角色的感染力、表演难度和年龄跨度上，《朗读者》中的汉娜对观众和学院都更有吸引力。而凯特在片中的戏份并不是最多的，但她却在未出镜的时间里，依然牢牢抓住了观众的心思。在影片中把女主人公的忏悔、思念和隐忍，表露的入木三分，将观者的心思牢牢带入到当时的那种境况之中。

⑽ 电影朗读者的剧情是什么。讲述了什么故事，谢谢

二战后作为战败国的德国处在盟军和苏军的管制中，万事萧条，百废待兴。生活在柏林的15岁少年迈克·伯格患上了猩红热，但他仍然时不时的坐车到很远的图书馆中找寻自己爱看的书籍，对于这位身处战后管制区的少年而言，这是他仅有的娱乐。迈克在公车上意外结识了风情万种的售票员汉娜，这位比他年纪大得多的漂亮女人，在青春期少年迈克的心目中是最让他魂牵梦绕的人，但是他也并不敢与汉娜攀谈。直到有一次路上迈克的猩红热病发，汉娜将他送回家，两人才开始渐渐交谈起来。病好的迈克前往汉娜住的地方感谢她的救命之恩，在汉娜的屋内，迈克第一次感受到了非比寻常的快乐。
两人的关系发生了奇妙的化学反应，情欲变成了爱情，他和汉娜私下见面的次数越来越多，两人在汉娜的公寓中度着属于自己的快乐时光。汉娜常常叫迈克带来不同的书籍，然后慢慢地读给他听。相处中迈克和汉娜的矛盾渐渐爆发，迈克试图对抗年龄的悬殊带来的服从感，并想摆脱自身的稚气和懦弱。终于有一天，当迈克前往汉娜的公寓，发现已经人去楼空，这段无果之恋也走到了尽头。
毕业之前，迈克作为实习生前往旁听一次对纳粹战犯的审判，在审判席上，迈克做梦也没有想到，坐在战犯座位上的，竟然是汉娜！审判开始了，原来汉娜曾经做过纳粹集中营的看守。或许是出于自责、或是对法律的无知、汉娜对指控供认不讳，并因为不愿在众人面前暴露自己不认字的事实，认下本不属于自的重责。迈克此时有能力帮助汉娜澄清事实，出于懦弱和不愿暴露自己和汉娜关系的自私，他选择了沉默，就连给汉娜鼓励的勇气也没有。最终汉娜被判终身监禁。
迈克在很多年后开始给狱中的汉娜寄自己朗读的磁带，这让汉娜重新找到了活着的意义和勇气，并且汉娜通过磁带和书的逐字对比学会了阅读和书写！并且开始给迈克写信。迈克从来没有回过。也许他想逃避那份自责的心情；也许他没有勇气面对汉娜。这让汉娜感到无比的孤单。汉娜出狱的时间到了，迈克来到狱中看见已经白发苍苍的汉娜，虽然承诺给汉娜提供出狱后物质上的援助，却拒绝了心灵沟通。汉娜绝望自杀。
帮助汉娜处理遗愿并不能使迈克逃出自责，他最后选择倾诉来宣泄内心的痛楚。
