摘要

The words of the above title were printed on the wrapper of paper handkerchiefs,received with thecompliments of Manweb when I went to see Gone With The Wind at the Philharmonic Hall inLiverpool.Britain.Since then.I have been discussing the implication of them with many Chinesestudents,including those studying in Britain.and some teachers of English at schools and colleges inChina Strangely enough.while decoding the text.what most of them did at the very beginning wasrack their brains for or look up in the dictionary the exact meaning of the phrase‘have a good cry’.but failed to make sound inferences on the basis of the context and the background of the film.As aresult,few of them could make a satisfactory,interpretation of it.This may be a reflection of one ofthe problems of teaching English in China.
