The Ideal Husband篇一：My Ideal Husband

My Ideal Husband

I believe that the ideal husband is one who is caring and honest and treasures his family like no one else. An ideal husband is the one who will actually listen to a conversation that you have started and make intelligent remarks. He is the one who will also do the housework without having been asked to. He is a husband who knows everything about you; the things that make you mad or sad and the things that make you happy.

2. The ideal husband is handsome, responsible, smart, humorous, healthy, considerate, wealthy, careful, faithful, honest etc.

3. We do have our own standards and if you will ask me, I think the ideal husband is someone who is responsible and could love his wife as much as he loves himself.

4. The one who loves you unconditonally, someone whom at times you don’t have to say anything and yet they would understand everything, with whom you would share that oneness, who would always be ready to put you ahead of themselves, who would do anything for you, would help you in all your work, be beside you through your joys and sorrows, share your life with you, in its true essence. Someone who would tell you your

flaws, but in a loving way, who would help you change and become better, who would help you raise the kids, help around in the kitchen or help take up a job outside. Someone who would guard, protect, give you ample security at all times.

And simply love you for and as who you are without expecting anything in return, though with such a loving, ideal partner, it would be tough not to give them all the love we have in return too! And I feel blessed as I think I have such a kind of a partner.

5. An ideal wife to me is someone who is responsible for the family and takes good care of her hubby and children with a loving heart. She is someone who is somewhat talented in some field, with a desire to learn new things in life. She is someone who can respect the senior and loves the young. She is someone who is good at cooking as well.

6. For me, an ideal husband/wife is one who loves, cares and have responsibilities of family affairs. They should be much devoted to their children in all aspects and respect family members from both sides.

7. I also always admire men with ambition for the family. Of course it would be better if he is my best friend.

8. an ideal husband is one that is a nice, tender,

forgiving, passionate, hard-working, honest, peaceful, generous, understanding, pleasant, warm, intelligent, humorous, attentive, compassionate富于同情心的， 慈悲的and truthful person. Of course, good looks is a bonus but isn’t the ultimate clincher. 定论，不可争辩的议论

9. My ideal husband would have an intense love for his family. One of his top priorities would be taking care of his family.

10. In my wildest dreams, if I could have my ideal husband, this is what he would be like. He would need strong character. He would need to have a great sense of humor. Heartfelt love for his family and friends would also be very important to me.

11. We would be like a team. Whatever needed to be done at the house he would do along side his family.

12. In my ideal world, my husband and I could be perfect for each other. God would put him in my life at just the right time. God would make both of us try to be open-minded. When we get married, I would know that we would spend the rest of our lives together and that this was a great decision. He makes us think of working as a team rather than be self-serving. I believe that nothing would tear us apart.

13. My father has the qualities that I want in my future

husband. I really appreciate his good sense of self-control. He puts up with me when I really don’t want to talk to him. Even when I’m not nice to him, he doesn’t get angry at me. He’s a great listener but is not afraid to talk out about certain things. He’s not shy around my friends or other people. I don’t know what it is, but he can make any situation seem funny.

14. My ideal wife is my best friend, best lover, best cook, best training partner, best teacher, best buds. We compliment each other and we push each other. We never argue and we can't get enough of each other. Hope that helps.

15. someone kind, caring, intelligent and most especially, one whom I love and loves me the same.

16. For me, the ideal partner must be a dutiful wife and loving mother. She should be tender and love me deeply. We'll share happiness and unfortune together. No matter how hard the problem we face, she won't give up. Also, she should not be too foolish, or too clever. Besides, she should be a good cook; and delicious food are prepared for the family every day. she should be pretty and lovely, too. Of course, I'll try my best to be an ideal husband for her.

Every girl dreams about true love. When we are little girls,

we read fairy tales, thinking that a handsome princess would appear in our life. Then we grow up day by day, we know that tales about prince and princess are not true, but the dream still go on.

Today the title “My ideal husband” calls up memories of little girl's dreams.

As to me , He is not necessarily outstanding and handsome, but deep in his heart. I'm the unique one to be loved in his heart, as he is to me. When I would be sad for something, he will make a wonderful dish for us, tell some funny things in order to make me smile. One day when we all grow older and older, becoming grey-haired, we will walk hands in hands along the lake, watching the sunset.

Of course, there will be some quarrel between us. My ideal husband is not perfect .When having difficulties in job, he will be upset; When faced with something that makes one's hair stand on end , he will complain bitterly. But most of the time , he will give me sincerity, respect, equality, mutual understanding and trust.

. As someone I know has said: to love sb. who hasn't any bond of blood is a combination of need, desire, wisdom and the untiring pursue of beauty and immortality. I believe we will

The Ideal Husband篇二：浙江工商大学英语Topic What are the characteristics of the ideal wife and the ideal husband

What are the characteristics of the ideal wife and the ideal husband?

何：Hello, everyone. Today we are talking about a constant topic. You must have guessed, yes, it's love. And this will inevitably make us associate to the standards for our ideal partners. 小奉：So what kind of personalities do you think your ideal husband should have? Jingjing?

刘： Let me see, en...I hope my dear will have a strong responsibility, he has the ability to take care of the whole family no matter what happened. And most importantly, he must be mature enough to let me depend on. What's more, it is vital for him to be hardworking and ambitious, but I hope he is not a workaholic who will ignore his family because of his work. 许：That must be a perfect partner. As for me, the most important thing is that he makes me feel loved, so loved. Everything is worthless without love, right? Besides I hope he is humor and will color my life. And I don’t care he is rich or poor but he should be my harbor to anchor always.

何：Wow, What you said is very persuasive. And boys, what kind of personalities do you think your ideal wife should have? 小翔：Appearance is very important for a woman, all the boys

like a beautiful girl, including me. I hope my future wife is pretty. But I think the appearance is not the most important thing, the character is more important. So I pay more attention to the quality of the girls. In my heart, my ideal wife is kind, considerate, loyal and hard-working. She must really love me and be good to my parents.

小奉：She may not look quite beautiful, but she has a pair of bright eyes, which will clear my confused mind; she may not be a quite gentle woman, but she has a sweat smile, which will comfort my tired soul; she may not be quite intelligent, but she has a sensitive mind, which will protect me from the dull world.

何： We are smiling to the warm sun at times. You decorate it with all your enthusiasm, your talent and your childish

innocence, so that I know at first I belong to it. You bring up our children and teach them singing like angels. When we are old, we will sit in front of our cabin and watch the sunset. I ask you why you choose me at that time, you grin to me and said: “I do not know, too.” This what you are dreaming, right?

I. Preparation

Discuss the following questions.

A. Apart from the physical differences between men and women, are there any features of men and women that are patterned by culture?

 Give some examples.

 Men

 have an aggressive nature.

 seldom express feelings.

 are strong and full of vigor.

 are independent.

 are daring（胆大的，勇敢的）.

 are not excited by trivial（not important细小的) matters.

 are less concerned with their appearance.

 are more likely to “explode like volcano”.

 make decisions easily.

 are more dominating.

 Women

 are neat and clean.

 like to talk.

 are shy and obedient.

 have an extremely strong need for security.

 pay a great deal of attention to their appearance. Are loyal.

 easily express gentle feelings.

 are well-mannered.

 understand other people’s feelings better.

 are more sensitive.

B. In each subject, who do you think do better, boys or girls? (art, language, music, geography, chemistry, history, P.E. , math)

 ----I think, generally speaking, boys do better in chemistry, math, geography

and P.E., and girls in art, language, music and history.

C. From your point of view, what are the characteristics of the ideal wife and the ideal husband?

 Ideal husband

 tall, handsome and strong

 rich

 capable of supporting a family

 educated and with a good career

 kind and loyal

 Ideal wife

 warmed-hearted

 beautiful and healthy

have to be educated so long as they had someone to support them or could earn a living. Of course, a woman would have liked to marry a rich man, but at that time, money was not considered to be so important. In my parents’ generation, knowledge and money were less important. The ideal husband and the ideal wife would both be workers.

ABSTRACT

Costume Designs for An Ideal Husband

Sharon Tobin Goeres

The purpose of this thesis was to design the costumes for the Division of Theatre and Dance’s production of An Ideal Husband by Oscar Wilde. The procedure for this project started by discussing the play with the director James Brown, who shared his thoughts, concepts and ideas for the entire production. This discussion was followed by reading the script and communicating ideas with the rest of the design team. Next, I researched books, articles, videos, and magazines in order to develop a visual concept that would be shared with the director, faculty and design team. After the designs were approved, fabrics were purchased and the costumes constructed. The play was

performed in the Gladys Davis Theatre at the Creative Arts Center in November, 1999. All the members participating in this effort coordinated their activities to maintain unity throughout the production that resulted in a beautifully rendered and well-received play.

The dramatic foundation of An Ideal Husband is based on the theme that an

ambitious Victorian male be “pure and without stain.” This concept of a male’s moral virtue is opposite of the Victorian rule: that the woman, not the male be enshrined upon a pedestal. This thought -provoking theme is addressed in Wilde’s play while centering on issues of honor and truth, loyalty, betrayal, and forgiveness.

The characters in An Ideal Husband all live in a fantasy world where the most important aspect of life is how to tie a tie correctly. If you consider the real social horrors of late 19th century industrial England, this play makes Wilde’s Victorian world delightful. The characters, too, are delightful in their innocence and lightness.

“Lord Goring, you are talking quite seriously. I don’t think

I ever heard you talk seriously before….…..You must excuse me, Lady Chiltern. It won’t occur again, if I can help it.” (Wilde 54)

They are living in a fantasy world that is supported by Wilde’s wit and epigrams. To design costumes for these decent people caught up in a morality tale was the

challenge at hand. My research, Wilde’s exquisite character descriptions and the witty dialogue of each character, was the foundation for my designs.

“Enter Lord Goring in evening dress with a buttonhole. He is wearing a silk hat and Inverness cape. White gloved he carries

a Louis Seize cane. His are all the delicate fopperies of fashion. One sees that he stands in immediate relation to

modern life, makes it indeed, and masters it. He is the first

well-dressed philosopher in the history of thought. (Wilde 72)

An Ideal Husband, written by Oscar Wilde in1895, was performed by the

Division of Theatre and Dance at West Virginia University in the fall semester of 1999. Under the direction of Associate Professor W. James Brown and assistant director David

The Ideal Husband篇九：An Ideal Husband Speech

Since I last addressed this House on the subject, I have had the opportunity to investigate this scheme more thoroughly, and to grasp fully the ramifications [ˌræmɪfɪˈkeɪʃn] of our lending it support. I have to inform the House that I was mistaken in my original perceptions, and that I have now taken a rather different view. I-I find that now I must agree with my Right

Honorable Friend that this is indeed an excellent scheme. A genuine opportunity. An

opportunity...particularly if you happen to be a corrupt investor. A corrupt investor with nothing but self-interest at heart. For now it is my utter conviction that this scheme never should have had, or should ever have, any chance of success. It is a fraud, an infamous ['ɪnfəməs] fraud at that. Our involvement would be a political fraud of the worst possible kind. This great nation has long been a great commercial power. Money merely to beget [bɪ'ɡet] more money, irrespective of the true cost to the nation’s soul. And it is this sickness, a kind of moral blindness, commerce without conscience, which threatens to strike at the very soul of this nation. And the only remedy that I can see is to strike back and to strike now! As we stand…as we stand at the end of this most eventful century, it seems that we do, after all, have a genuine opportunity. One honest chance to shed our sometimes imperfect past, to start again, to step unshackled ['ʌn'ʃækld] into the next century. And to look our future squarely and proudly in the face. 让我首先感谢尊敬的议员对他表达的辩论的贡献。自从我上次提到这个房子的主体，我有机会研究这一方案更彻底，并充分理解我们的贷款支持的影响。我已经通知家里，我在我原来的看法是错误的，而我现在已经采取了相当不同的观点。我发现，现在我必须承认，我的可敬的朋友，这确实是一个优秀的方案。一个真正的机会。一个机会……特别是如果你恰巧是一个腐败的投资者。一个只有利己心的腐败的投资者。现在这是我坚定的认为这个计划不应该有，或者有，任何成功的机会。这是一个骗局，那一个臭名昭著的欺诈。我们的参与将有可能出现的最糟糕的一种政治欺诈。这个伟大的国家，长期以来一直是一个巨大的商业力量。钱只是为了引起更多的钱，不论该民族的灵魂的真实成本。正是这种病，一种道德失明，商务没有良心，威胁要罢工在这个国家的灵魂。而我能看到的唯一的补救办法就是反击，打击现在！当我们站……我们站在这最重要的世纪末，我们似乎做的，毕竟，有一个真正的机会。一个诚实的机会来摆脱我们有时不完全过去，重新开始，逐步释放到下个世纪。和看我们的未来正骄傲地面对。
