英语电影观后感III. Answer the follow ing questi ons.
1. What the old man meansis that a youngman who fallsin love one-sidedl y is ldom rich enough to win a girl's heart. His wordsimplythat moneyis one of the crucia l factor s for love. If a man is not rich, he can rarely expect to be lovedby a girl.
2. Referto Paragr aphs19 to 37. The love potion has powerf ul, everla sting effect s. To beginwith, it may produc e xual desire in the person who takesit. And on the spirit ual side, it can replac e indiff erenc e with devoti on and scornwith adorat ion. It will make a gay girl want nothin g but solitu de and her lover's compan y. She will feel jealou s of him when her loveris with othergirls;she will want t
o be everyt hingto him. She will be only intere stedin her loverand take everyconcer n of him. Even if he slipsa bit, she will forgiv e him though terrib ly hurt. In a word, she will fall in love with him if she drinks the love potion.

3. Referto Paragr aphs39 to 43. It is an irony, by whichthe author emsto implythat love is far from beingprecio us or desira ble. It is easy for a man to fall in love, yet it is hard
for him to stickto it. Should he regret some day, he wouldhave to pay a much higher priceto get himl f out of it. Anyway, for the old man, and for his custom ers as he believ es, the life-cleane r is more import ant than the love potion.
4. This meansthereis a wide differ encebetwee n the youngand the old. Youngpeople tend to be over-passio natefor love, someti mes nl essly and irrati onall y, whilethe old, just like the old man who llsthe mixtur es, wouldtake a cool and nsib le, someti mes even cynica l attitu de toward s love.
5. "Au revoir," an urbane and polish ed replyto the youngman's good-bye, meanin g "untilI e you again," indica tes the old man's firm belief that the youngman will eventu allycome back to him for the life-cleane r. This showshis cynica l pessim ism aboutlove.
IV. Explai n in your own wordsthe follow ing nten ces.
1. "Just becaus e I am able to do you a favor/ll you the love potion, I feel safe tellin g you so much aboutmy othermedici nes."
2. "They, the love potion s," said the old man, "will help change the girl's attitu de toward s you. She will no longer hold you in contem pt. Instea d, She will beginto give you her deep-felt love and care."
