  first i'd like to say this is the first English novel that i have seen through.lol for myself.

  all animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others. that's been the truth you can see whether from USSR or PRC. no comments can be made since there's been the damage that one may suffer.

  But still, i wanna say attention should been taken whenever sb tell you sth is good regardless it's for you own or for the community. this kind of stuff is just too good to be ture.

  Democrazy is the case, not to mention Communism, which in effect is dictatorship.

  ps; i still believe the tyranny will come to an end someday not too fay away so......

  to be continued.

  Chapter X

  ❤Vera.W (有阴影的地方，必定有光。)

  Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer - except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs...It was not that these creatures did not work, after their fashion. There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organization of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too i... (更多)

  Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer - except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs...It was not that these creatures did not work, after their fashion. There was, as Squealer was never tired of explaining, endless work in the supervision and organization of the farm. Much of this work was of a kind that the other animals were too ignorant to understand

  There was a deadly silence. Amazed, terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly round the yard. It was though the world had turned upside-down. Then there came a moment when the first shock had worn off and when in spite of everything - in spite of their terror of the dogs, and of the habit, developed through long years, of never complaining, never criticizing, no matter what happened - they might have uttered some word of protest. But just at that moment, as though at a signal, all the sheep burst out into a tremendous bleating of - 'Four legs good, two legs BETTER!...'

  All animals are equal but some animals are more equal then others.

  “If you have your lower animals to contend with,” he said, “we have our lower classes!”

  The creatures outside looked from pig to man, and from man to pig, and from pig to man again: but already it was impossible to say which was which.

  'Up there, comrades,' he would say solemnly, pointing to the sky with his large beak-- 'Up there, just on the other side of that dark cloud that you can see-- there it lies, Sugarcandy Mountain, that happy country where we poor animals shall rest for ever from our labours!

Many of the animals believed him.

  Introduction

  猫姐姐 (Grow up!)

  It is just this sense of purposeless cruelty, though, that gives the clue to Orwell's purpose, as well as to his deadly serious reason for calling Animal Farm a fairy-story.

  It is just this sense of purposeless cruelty, though, that gives the clue to Orwell's purpose, as well as to his deadly serious reason for calling Animal Farm a fairy-story. The point about fairy-stories is that they are written not merely without a moral but without a morality. They take place in a world beyond good and evil, where people (or animals) suffer or prosper for reasons unconnected with ethical merit---for being ugly or beautiful respectively, for instance, or for even more unsatisfactory reasons. A little girl sets out to do a good deed for her grandmother and gets gobbled by a wolf; a young rogue escapes the gallows ( and gets an old Jew hanged instead ) by his talent on the fiddle; dozens of young princes die horrible death trying to get through the thorn-hedge that surrounds the Sleeping Beauty, just because they had the bad luck to be born before her hundred-year curse expired; and one young prince, no better or worse, no handsomer or uglier than the rest, gets through merely because he has the good luck to arrive just as the hundred years are up; and so on and so on. Even when the Grimms' stepmothers are called " wicked ", it is well to remember that in German their Bosheit is viciousness and bad temper, not moral guilt. For all this is related by the fairy-story tellers without approval or disapproval, without a glimmer of subjective feeling, as though their pens were dipped in surgical spirit to sterilize the microbes of emotion. They never seek to criticize or moralize, to protest or plead or persuade; as the greatest of them do, that is not intrinsic to the stories. They would indeed only weaken that impact in direct proportion as soon as they set out to achieve it. They move by not seeking to move; almost, it seems, by seeking not to move.

  It was very neatly written, and except that ‘friend’ was written ‘freind’ and one of the ‘S’s’ was the wrong way round, the spelling was correct all the way through. Snowball read it aloud for the benefit of the others. All the animals nodded in complete agreement, and the cleverer ones at once began to learn the Commandments by heart. 极具讽刺，暗示了“友人”即将成为“敌人” 以及总有... (更多)

It had become usual to give Napoleon the credit for every successful achievement and every stroke of good fortune.

  多么像我国历史上某段时期

  But the superior quality of Napoleon's mind, said Squealer,was shown in the fact that he trusted nobody, not even Frederick.

  Once again this argument was unanswerable. Certainly the animals did not want Jones back; If the holding of debates on Sunday mornings was liable to bring him back, then the debates must stop.

Boxer, who had now had time to think things over, voiced the general feeling by saying:"If Comrade Napoleon says it, it must be right." And from then on he adopted the maxim,"Napoleon is always right", in addition to his private motto of "I will work harder."
