* 必修3 单元影视 Iron Road is a 2009 Canada/China television miniseries written by Barry Pearson and Raymond Storey and directed by David Wu. Iron Road follows the journey of Little Tiger (Sun Li), a child whose quest (寻找) for her long-lost father takes her from a fireworks factory in China to a remote construction camp in the Rockies (落基山脉). Lured (诱惑) by the myth of ‘Gum San’ - Gold Mountain — she and her countrymen come to Canada by the thousands to do the back-breaking (使人筋疲力尽的) work of blasting (爆炸) through the mountains to lay track. She soon learns that railroads only bring fortune to the few and that every mile of track is purchased with fear and death. As treachery and prejudice threaten her, Little Tiger must use her wits and courage to fulfill her quest and honour her friends who died in this foreign land. Little Tiger disguises (化装) herself as a man, but develops a crush (迷恋) on the contractor’s (承造商的) son, James Nichol. They become friends, him treating her as just one of the guys. Later, she reveals (透露) to him that she is a woman and confesses (坦白) her attraction. They begin an affair, which continues until disrupted (破坏) when the Chinese construction foreman dies saving her when her safety rope breaks as she places dynamite charges (炸药) on a cliff. It is discovered that the foreman is actually the father she has been looking for and that the rope had been sabotaged (破坏) deliberately. Learning that her fathers last wish was to have his ashes returned to China, she decides to leave the railway camp to do so. James wants to leave Canada with her so they can spend their lives together, but she refuses because they are from different worlds and she fears the social implications. Interracial (人种间的) or inter ethnic relationships was generally discouraged at the time. Audio Visual Listening for details 注: 另附word文档。 点击此处链接 Thought I might ____ you here. Look at all those _____.
