The Fountainhead組：
1、Howard Roark says to Gail Wynand: “Look at everyone around us. You’ve wondered why they suffer, why they seek happiness and never find it. If any man stopped and asked himself whether he’s ever held a truly personal desire, he’d find the answer. . . . He can’t say about a single thing: ‘This is what I wanted because I wanted it, not because it made my neighbors gape at me.’ . . . The things which are sacred or precious to us are the things we withdraw from promiscuous sharing. But now we are taught to throw everything within us into public light and common pawing.” In light of this view, what do you think Roark would make of people’s behavior today on social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram? Give examples of what he might approve or disapprove of. Would you agree or disagree with his evaluation? Explain your position.
霍華德·羅克對(duì)蓋爾·威納德說:“看看我們周圍的每個(gè)人。你想知道他們?yōu)槭裁词芸啵瑸槭裁此麄儗ふ倚腋s永遠(yuǎn)找不到。如果有男人停下來問自己是否有過真正的個(gè)人欲望，他會(huì)找到答案. . . .他說不出一件事:“這是我想要的，因?yàn)槲蚁胍皇且驗(yàn)樗屛业泥従幽康煽诖舻乜粗摇！薄瓕?duì)我們來說神圣或珍貴的東西是我們從混亂的分享中撤出的東西。但現(xiàn)在，我們被教導(dǎo)要把自己的一切公之于眾，讓大家去抓。”基于這種觀點(diǎn)，你認(rèn)為羅克會(huì)如何看待如今人們?cè)贔acebook和Instagram等社交媒體平臺(tái)上的行為?舉例說明他可能贊成或不贊成的事情。你同意還是不同意他的評(píng)價(jià)?解釋你的立場(chǎng)。

2、After the death of Lucius Heyer, Keating tells himself: “He had nothing to regret; he had done what anyone would have done; Catherine had said it, he was selfish; everybody was selfish; it was not a pretty thing, to be selfish, but he was not alone in it.” What do you think is motivating Keating to tell himself this at this point in the story? What does The Fountainhead have to say about whether what he’s saying is true? Do you agree? Why or why not?
盧修斯·海耶死后，基廷告訴自己:“他沒有什么可遺憾的;他做了任何人都會(huì)做的事;凱瑟琳說過，他是自私的;每個(gè)人都是自私的;自私并不是一件好事，但他并不是一個(gè)人這么做。”你認(rèn)為是什么促使基廷在故事的這一點(diǎn)告訴自己這些?關(guān)于他所說的是否屬實(shí)，源泉說了些什么?你同意嗎?為什么或?yàn)槭裁床?

3、Dominique says to Alvah Scarret: “I take the only desire one can really permit oneself. Freedom, Alvah, freedom. . . . To ask nothing. To expect nothing. To depend on nothing.” What does Dominique mean by this, and how does she act on her view over the course of the novel? What is Dominique’s perspective on this kind of “freedom” at the end of the novel, and why?? ?
