Under the Greenwood Tree 金牛
Under the Greenwood Tree 绿荫下
The plot concerns the activities of a group of church musicians, the Mellstock parish choir, one of whom, Dick Dewy, becomes romantically entangled with a comely new school mistress, Fancy Day. The novel opens with the fiddlers and singers of the choir—including Dick, his father Reuben Dewy, and grandfather William Dewy—making the rounds in Mellstock village on Christmas Eve.
When the little band plays at the schoolhouse, young Dick falls for Fancy at first sight. Dick, smitten, seeks to insinuate himself into her life and affections, but Fancy's beauty has gained her other suitors, including a rich farmer and the new vicar at the parish church...
圣诞前夕，唱诗班英俊小生迪克•杜威对小镇新来的女孩芬西一见钟情。而同时，这位相貌甜美的年轻女教师也吸引了其他众多追求者。包括富有且体贴的大地主夏纳及自负傲慢的牧师梅柏。三人的示爱令芬西心乱如麻，她必须在感情和理智间作出选择。芬西是当时少数受过教育的女人，有思想，有抱负，同样有点小虚荣。而她的父亲也同样希望女儿能够通过婚姻提升自己的社会地位，过上更为安稳的生活。
面对强大的竞争对手，出身贫穷的迪克仍然对芬西展开了热烈的追求。而芬西也被迪克身上的那种狂热所吸引，可是父亲及礼教的束缚又让她对真爱望而却步。面对大地主夏纳的真诚求婚，芬西十分犹豫，尤其是听说夏纳勇敢地救了父亲后，更是不忍心拒绝他。并在父亲的催促 下，准备与夏纳完婚。迪克听说芬西的决定后十分伤心，决定外出去开创一番事业……
推荐理由：金牛座的择偶观，12个字便可以概括：宁缺毋滥，宁为玉碎，不为瓦全。电影的女主角是一位典型的金牛座女性，在父亲的压力和追求者们强大的追求攻势下毅然拒绝了条件卓越的求婚者们，坚守着自己的真爱。
