If so, have you ever heard of the
“Pygmalion effect ”(皮格马利翁效应)?The Pygmalion effect, or Rosenthal
(罗森塔尔) effect, refers to situations in
which students perform better than other
students simply because they are expected
to do so. The effect is named after George
Bernard Shaw's play Pygmalion, in which a
professor makes a bet that he can teach a
poor flower girl to speak and act like an
upper-class lady, and is successful.A brief introduction to
George Bernard Shaw:In 1856IrishNobel Prize for Literature in 1925, Irish dramatist, literary critic, a socialist spokesmanArms and the Man (1894)
The Devil’s Disciple (1897)
Superman (1905)
Androcles and the Lion (1912)
Pygmalion (1913)Humorous and witty In 1950A story about Bernard Shaw :One day, Shaw took part in a grand party, in which he met the then Prime Minister Churchill. Churchill was very fat at that time whereas Shaw was very thin.
Churchill said to Shaw very sharply,
:“When people see you, they will know how poor the country is.” And then Shaw answered very quickly, “ When people see you, they will know the reason why the country is so poor.” Do you think that Pygmalion and his statue-wife will be happy together? What problems do you think they will have?
How do you think they
might solve them?
