    以上摘自美国小说《飘》    以上这段文字,描述了双胞胎兄弟与Scarlett的关系。兄弟俩此前都有喜欢的女孩子的,但后来被Scarlett的魅力给吸引了过来。Scarlett的最大魅力是活力及与众不同。    美国南北战争爆发前夕的美国南方社会,男女青年之间互相爱慕恋爱是比较宽松的,男女青年之间可以自由追求。    这段文字中还提到一个美国南方和北方发生纠份的某个城堡地,许多南方青年,特别是男青年,都关心这事,也就是都关心南方和北方的关系,但许多都是人云亦云,独立思考的不多。而南方的女青年中,不少人并不关心这些。    再有,由于当时美国南方和北方越来越对立,一些与北方关联较深的但生活于南方的人,其感觉很微妙的。在人类社会,立场问题永远是个永恒话题和现实事情。
