Featuring highly organized social division labour, the urban life, which is completely internalized by almost all of us, compels us to tie with the metropolitan infrastructure. Therefore, versus the ancient men, we are and have to embrace the surroundings while relishing the convenience of urban life. Being an island, which means to isolate ourselves, is terrifying and impossible. 82-08 武博

Karl Marx said that people are the sum total of social relationship, which means that people can only find their identity from the relationship between others, for example, a boy is his father's son and his teacher's student.

I think it means that the swaying of one soul needs the response of another soul. No one loves eternal loneliness. People are born eager for identity and security, like being listened to, being affirmed and being cared for. Even though we are isolated islands, we are silently accompanying each other's existence.

This sentence uses a metaphorical figure of speech to express the idea that people need to connect with each other. Just as an isolated island loses contact with its surroundings, a closed person also loses contact with the society. We need to accept and communicate with each other in order to better realize our personal value.

Seperate entities as we are, we live in an integrated society whose proper functioning depends on each person’s effort. Compared with mechines which have no emotion but capability, we human beings need sensibility, connection and love to link everyone together.

As the remark of Carl Marx, human beings are social animals. Like it or not, we live the same world, take on individual responsibilities and cooperate with one another to make it function in order. Besides, human nature requires that however introverted, we have the instinctual demand of being loved and have relation with the society.

In and of itself, the sentence means every one is connected to each other like a piece of continent connected to another. It shows not only the willing of connection establishment but also the responsiblity one should shoulder. Upon quoting this sencence, it's especially appropreate while drawing the translation of the main charactor, Will, from a big boy to a mature adult. It is no doubt worth much deeper thinking.

In modern society, people's relationships are intentionally or unintentionally diluted. Warm connections are marginalized. However, no one is an island.

Person cannot get away from the society, just as the society cannot exist without people. Everyone who lives in the world may think he or she is lonely, however, none of the island has been withdrawn from the mainland. Sometimes we need to give the world a chance to save us, which may take us out of trouble and confusion. 82-25

What this line wants to express is that the human beings are interconnectted and no one can isolated from others. We gain power and bravery from the friendship or the love which exist between each and each, which encourage us to move on. Nowadays, the urban life seems to depart individual one from another, but islands are always be connected by the land and we always need to communicate to realize our personal value. 82-09

Man is a social animal, which is a fact that is undeniable. Through history we can find hermits and great men benefiting from loneliness,which consequently leaves us a wrong impression that we could be a lonely island.

No one is an island
As for me,there are two meanings
First,love.Love what?no matter what, when you love sth or someone,you are not an island,since you haveconnections withothers
The other is that live.We actually ,can't live without others.even most basic need,we can't afford all .
Finally,just like what marxism said"peaple are total of social relationships"

As Aristotle said, human beings are social animals. It seems like that the environment of our society has changed into a state of detached living conditions, following with indifference, skepticism, arrogance and so on. However, it should be kept in mind that everyone is connected to each other no matter what. That is to say, we are part of the social continent, while the mankind resists is to desert anyone of us. In total, the relationship needs to be strengthened by the warmth from heart instead of desire or interest.

This sentence comes from the sermon written by the English poet John Donne, when the plague broke out in London in the early 17th century. Through metaphor, the poet expounds the relationship between individual and society, individual destiny and the destiny of others, that is, everyone's destiny is closely connected, and everyone is closely related and inseparable. The environment in which the poet lived was so similar to that of today. Today, with the increasing development of globalization, we should realize that no one can be alone under the epidemic. Human beings are as close to each other as flesh and blood. Only through joint efforts can we overcome the epidemic.

Human society is always inextricably linked, which means that as Aristotle said, each of us is not an isolated individual. Just like Will in the film, no matter how much he close his heart to the outside world at first, he will always feel goodwill and lovefrom these ubiquitous people . All in all , it is the connecyions that will help us better integrate into this world and get a better life. (82-12 马子涵）

This sentence demonstrates that man is a social animal. Needless to say,a false notion that isolating ourselves from the world seems impossible in the contemporary society.Just like the sway of one soul requires the response of another.No one can survivr living in loneliness. People are born to crave recognition and security, to be listened to, to be approved of, to be cared for.

As for me, this sentence has two meanings. Physiologically, people always rely on what others produce to live. Look around us, tissues, pens, books……We can't live without these products. When we work or study, we always need to get along with others to achieve common goal. Psychologically, there are all kinds of connections between people and we all have the responsibilities of the role identity. And people' always need a harbor to get their hearts peace and warmth.

No man is an island, everyone connects to others in some ways. It's a good thing that Will has the rarity ability to enjoy being alone, but there are various kinds of happiness in our lifes can not be ignored. Careing about the human-beings in this world is the greatest hapiness, which gives people the feeling of love and significance. Under the serious worldwide epidemic, only if each individual realizes his responsiblity to the whole society could we finally win victory in this war. 82-02

As a human-being, we are born with social tiems, which means we have substantial identities in the world, putting us into massives relationships with our surrordings, on which occasion, we are bound to be connected to others, having no possibility to cut ourselves absoutely from the outside world.

“Every man is an island”, said Will Freeman at the beginning of the movie About a Boy. I agree that lots of us are living alone together in a busy modern society. However, were there no connections between one and one another, the life journey would be colorless and boring. Just like Will Freeman in the movie, who watches TV or plays tennis all day, and spend all the years in the same way. Therefore, what’s the meaning of his life? We humans are born to create something for mankind and our love ones. That makes up all that is priceless.（82-04 杨艺）

From my perspective ,when we live in the society,we have already been associated just like a spider web so that if any catastrophe happens,no one can escpe entirely. What's more,as long as one part of the society no matter it's small or big makes tremendous breakthrough ,everyone will share the cake.so,it means we share weal and woe living in the world.

Man is the sum of social relations. From birth, his behavior and thought are based on the communication with others and the world. All people are the products of human society except those who have been isolated from human society at birth. So strictly speaking, no one is independent,entire or itself.82-24

We should feel a sense of belonging to the whole of the human race, and should feel a sense of loss at every death, because it has taken something away from mankind.Nobody lives or exists alone, and we are all part of something greater. Each individual person is like a part of the mainland or a piece of a bigger continent, rather than an island nation that is self-sufficient and cut off from the rest.

No one can stay alone forever,we are linkde together.Human beings are with relationships,people who have no relationships can't live long.No one loves permanent loneliness.People are born with the eager for securtiy and the sense of identity.Even we are isolated islands,we care each other silently(82 22 王子扬）
