All the Light We Cannot See is a fictional novel written by Antony Doerr. The story is set in World War II  in France and Germany. It is a story about a girl and a boy who live in different places and have completely different life. They dont know each other at all. The girl， Marie， is a blind girl living with her father， and they move to Saint Malo to Maries uncles house. The boy Werner is an orphan1 living in Germany with his sister， then he joined the strict school far away from home...

《所有我們看不见的光》是一部由安东尼·多尔所写的小说。故事发生在第二次世界大战时的法国和德国。这是一个关于生活在不同地方、生活完全不同的女孩和男孩的故事。他们根本不认识对方。这个女孩，玛丽，是一个和父亲住在一起的盲女，他们搬到圣马洛的玛丽叔叔的家。男孩维尔纳是一个孤儿，他和妹妹住在德国，然后他进入了远离家乡的一所严格的学校……

The story is written in a unique2 way. One chapter is about Marie， the chapter after is about Werner， then the next is back to Marie...Each chapters are short. The storyline is like twined together. However， the two of the main characters never seems to have chance to meet. It is almost like two separate storyies in one book. This let us wonder how Marie and Werner are going to meet， or whether they are going to meet at all...The questions are left for us to find out in the book.

该故事以独特的方式展开。一章是关于玛丽的，后面一章关于维尔纳，然后下一章回到玛丽……每章都很简短。故事情节就像缠绕在一起，然而两个主角似乎从来没有机会见面，它几乎就像一本书中的两个独立的故事。这让我们很想知道玛丽和维尔纳会如何见面，或者他们是否会见面……这些问题留待我们到书中去寻找答案。

The sea of flame is a stone which will give its owner wealth， but give bad luck to the people the owner cares at the same time. This is an old legend， but it may be true as well. The mystery of this precious stone is also one of the main line in the story. It seemed Marie and her father had got the real stone， but they cannot make sure and that is supposed to be a secret. Meanwhile other people are trying to get the stone as well...This fairy tale style lit-tle story stands out in the book， because the rest of the book is just full of reasonable things. It makes the whole book like a mix of fantasy and real facts， both mysterious and serious.

火焰之海是一块石头，它会给它的主人带来财富，但同时给主人所关心的人带来厄运。这是一个古老的传说，但也可能是真的。这块宝石的神秘面纱也是故事中的主线之一。玛丽和她的父亲似乎得到了真正的石头，但他们无法确定，这本该是一个秘密。与此同时，其他人也试图得到这块石头……这本童话风格的小故事在书中脱颖而出，因为本书其余的部分充满了合理的东西。这使整本书充满幻想和真正的事实，既神秘又严肃。

Except for the stories happening， there are also many deep meanings in the book. When the German government set stricter restrictions to citizens slowly， Madame Manec said，“Do you know what happens when you put the frog in a pot of cool water and then slowly bring it to a boil？ You know what happens then？ The frog cooks.” She is comparing themselves to the frog， and the Ger-mans to the person who boils the frog. The policies3 and restrictions4 the German give the citizens is like boiling the frog， they act is slowly and gradually increase the rate， so that the citizens will not feel wrong instantly5， just like the frog waiting to be boiled. This is a strong metaphor6 and it gave me clear impressions.

除了发生的故事外，书中还有很多深刻的含义。当德国政府逐渐对公民施加更严格的限制时，马内克夫人说：“你知道当你把青蛙放入一盆凉水中，然后慢慢煮沸时会发生什么吗？你知道之后会发生什么吗？青蛙汤。”她将自己比作青蛙，将德国人比作煮青蛙的人。德国给市民的政策和限制就像煮青蛙一样，他们的行为正在慢慢地逐渐加速，使市民不会立即感到不对劲，就像等待煮沸的青蛙一样。这是一个强烈的比喻，它给我留下了深刻的印象。

Whats more， Werners situation in the“school” is also like the cooked frog. Werner and the boys were like the frog， while the school and the instructors were like the one who cooks the frog. At first they let the boys do things that were relatively7 less unfair， like choosing the weak ones; when they got used to that， they were forced to do more cruel things like pulling water on the criminal. This process was going on and on， overtime the boys became numb， until they were all calm even when they saw murders of innocent8 people. This is just like the frog in the water waiting to be boiled， the longtime had weakened their senses.

而且，维尔纳在“学校”的情况也像煮熟的青蛙一样。维尔纳和男孩们就像青蛙一样，学校和教练就像是烹饪青蛙的人。起初，他们让男孩们做一些相对公平一些的事情，就像挑选弱者;当他们习惯了这一点时，就被迫去做更多残忍的事情，比如给犯罪分子泼水。这个过程一直在持续，时间过了许久之后，男孩们变得麻木起来，直到他们即使看到无辜的人被杀也无动于衷。就像水中的青蛙等待煮沸一样，长期以来的麻木削弱了他们的感情。

The theme of this story is warmth of people， and how people survive9 the war with their kindness and love in heart. The power of kindness is really strong， especially in the harsh cruel environment during the war， when peoples hearts are more vulnerable10.

这个故事的主题是人性中的温暖，人们如何靠善良和内心的爱在战争中活下去。善良的力量非常強大，尤其是在战争期间的残酷环境中，人们的心灵更加脆弱。

I will recommend this book to my classmates who are interested in history and warm stories. There are really many moments in the book when you can feel the kindness and warmth of people. Overall it is a good book to read.

我会把这本书推荐给对历史和温馨的故事感兴趣的同学。书中有很多时刻让你可以感受到人们的善良和温暖。总的来说，这是一本值得阅读的好书。
