📖 I Hate Everyone

At a little girl's birthday party, she says she hates everyone. She doesn't like people singing, laughing, looking at her, not looking at her, hating everything. Well, she says she does. But deep inside, her hate is a form of fear. She is afraid people won't like her or won't pay attention now that she has a baby sibling who gets a lot of attention. Looking deeper, she realizes her fear and hate stems from her love for her parents and everyone. Somehow, even when she hates her baby sibling, at the same time she loves them. I recommend this book because of its deep morals about the hate-love relationship between her family, one that only family can have. Another reason for this recommendation is the almost childlike illustrations that further help drive the moral of the story.

在一个小女孩的生日派对上,她说她讨厌所有人。她不喜欢大家唱歌、不喜欢大家笑、不喜欢别人看着她、不喜欢别人不看她——总之,她讨厌一切。至少她是这么说的。但在她内心深处,这种"讨厌"其实是一种害怕。她害怕别人不再喜欢她、害怕在有了一个总是被关注的弟弟或妹妹之后,自己不再是焦点。当她更深入地看待自己的情绪时,她意识到,这些恐惧和讨厌,其实源于她对父母以及大家深深的爱。某种程度上,即使她讨厌那个小宝宝,她同时也爱着他。我推荐这本书,是因为它探讨了深刻的道德主题——家庭之间那种恨与爱交织的特殊关系。这种情感,只有在亲密的家庭中才会出现。另一个推荐的理由是,它的插图几乎像是孩子自己画的,这种风格更加突出并强化了故事想要传达的情感内核。
