变形记》正是作家受社会使命感的驱使,冷漠而悲哀地审视现实,抓住人的异化丑恶现象,以表现社会对人的敌视、主宰等具有广泛性命题的表现主义杰作。下面语文迷网为大家整理了英语读后感,供大家参考选择。

The Metamorphosis, written in 1912, is one of Kafka’s masterpieces. It talks about Gregor Samsa. One morning, when he woke up, he found himself transformed into a gigantic insect. At first, his parents and sister were filled with compassion and they cared for him. But at last, they regarded him as a burden, leaving him alone. In the end, he died in loneliness quietly. From my point of view, The Metamorphosis is the immortal classic in the modern literature history.

First of all, the tragedy of Gregor Samsa is just the epitome of Kafka himself. In his whole life, he lived just like an insect. He can’t realize his dream because of the poor situation, and he didn’t have possession of love. So he thought he was small and had no confidence. While in his work, The Metamorphosis, Gregor Samsa might be a kind of distorted hopelessness. He was a giant created by a lifelong loneliness. So we can see a picture of Kafka.

Besides, Kafka expressed his accusation the distorted values of people and questioned the human nature. Gregor Samsa once supported his family, but when he transformed into an insert, his family started to disgust him with the time going, and even detest him in the end, hoping that he could die earlier with a disdainful eyes. How selfish、indifferent and cruel they are!

Lastly, Kafka criticized the capitalist society. In the early 21 century, the World War 1 happened. The inhumanity and slaughter can be seen everywhere. Money worship as well as the labor press is the source of distorted humanity and values of people. So The Metamorphosis can reflect the society at that time.

We can draw the conclusion that there is some philosophy in The Metamorphosis, which is the reason that why it is classic in the modern literature history.

寒假里我读了一本集思想性,文学性和艺术性为一体的探险生活的通俗性经典名著—《鲁宾逊漂流记》。

这个故事讲述的是一个英国的水手因船沉而流落荒岛,在进退无路的情况下,他靠自己的双手,凭着自己的智慧,花了很长时间的时间,把荒岛变为世外桃源。还勇敢的救出一个土著人——星期五。他们共同生活,后来,一艘英国船只经过荒岛,鲁宾逊帮助船长制服了叛乱的水手,乘船离开荒岛,返回英国,过上了幸福的生活。鲁宾逊从落难荒岛到返回英国,这段时间竟长达二十多年。

鲁宾逊的坚强让我佩服,他的乐观主义精神也让我佩服,初到荒岛鲁滨逊因没有助手,工具不全缺乏经验,所以做任何事情都要花费很大的劳力,费好长的时间。他做好多事情都是白费力气,但他并不灰心,总结经验从新做起,毫不弃累。辛苦的劳动总是有回报的。克服的许多困难才得到了许多东西。

看完这本书,使我深受感动。一个人身陷绝境,竟能这样对生活充满信心,勇敢地面对生活,创造生活,实在是难能可贵的。使我认识到,人不论何时何地,不管遇到多大的困难,都不能被困难吓倒,要勇敢地面对困难,克服困难,始终保持一种积极向上、从容乐观的心态,去面对和挑战厄运。只有这样,才能像鲁宾逊那样,永远是一个胜利者。

我不禁反省自己,以前做事一但不成功,就会气馁,没有信心再做下去。读了这本书后,我深深体会到这样做是不对的,应该向鲁宾逊那样,不断总结失败的经验,又从新开始做起,不达目的誓不罢休。读了《鲁滨逊漂流记》,我真是受益匪浅。

特洛伊》中作者成功地创造出栩栩如生的男男女女,他们的磨难令人痛心,胜利则辉煌夺目。下面是语文迷为大家提供的读后感范文,希望对你有帮助。

I have never been to Troy, but David Maule made me feel as if I were standing on the high wall of Troy, watching the fierce war. Thanks to this British author, who adapted the famous Homer’s poem into a lively story, I found it easier to understand this story. Though the story happened over 3000 years ago in a remote place, I was deeply fascinated by it. The mysterious plot is one of the reasons why I loved The Story of Troy so much, yet I am more interested in the human heroes of the war.

Hector was the eldest son of king of Troy, Priam. He was not only a real hero of Trojan, but was regarded the highest moral hero in Greek classic by later historians. The war started because of the mischief of his brother, Paris, whom he didn’t appreciate. However, since Hector was the commander of the Trojan army, he was obliged to fight with all force. It was really a tragedy that such a valiant man died in the duel with another great warrior, Achilles.

It is natural to see death in a war. As a famous Chinese parable says, “A life can be as slight as a piece of feather, or as weighty as Mount Tai.” Sometimes, one’s glory walks hand in hand with one’s doom. Achilles was such a typical person. His personal charm made The Story of Troy more attractive. He was so crucial because his every appearance in a war encouraged his fellow soldiers and terrified the enemies. Actually, Achilles was half-god who was almost invincible in people’s mind. That’s why his name was memorized long after his death.

Besides the two great men, the wisdom of Odysseus also proved him to be a great hero. He didn’t want to attend the war because he was happily married and had a lovely son. However, since his country was allied to Mycenae, he had to take the command given by the king of Mycenae. I’m quite sure that the story of the wooden horse is widely known, however, few people know who thought of the brilliant idea, that’s why I admired Odysseus so much because he was the person who got the idea. Thanks to the horse, the ten-year war came to an end at last. If you want to know how the wooden horse worked, just read the book.

The ancient Greeks believed that the gods and goddesses also played important roles in the origin, process and ending of the whole story.

The story of the golden apple was such an example. When Eris, the goddess of argument and disagreement, threw out the golden apple to a wedding ceremony on Mount Olympus, a dispute happened. Hera, the queen of gods, Athena, the goddess of wisdom, and Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were all involved in the argument for the apple. None of them was willing to give way, so they turned to Paris for a final judgment. Tempted by Aphrodite’s beauty and promise, Paris handed the apple to her. To keep her word, Aphrodite helped him to get Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as his wife. That was the cause of the war.

Paris’s choice obviously annoyed the other two goddesses. So during the war, they helped the Greek alliance army while some other gods, such as Apollo and Aphrodite, guarded Troy. When Paris dueled with Helen’s former husband Menelaus, Aphrodite saved Paris when he was about to be finished off.

After the duel between those two people, there was a truce between the Greek alliance and Troy. However, both Hera and Athena were not happy to see it. Hera pursued her husband ZEUS:“ Now, will you send Athena to make the Troyjans break the peace?”(Page 22) Then with Zeus’s permission, Athena went down to start the war again and finally she brought the Greeks to success.

From the whole story, we can see that in ancient Greeks’ view, gods sometimes played a much more important role in their life. However, with the rapid development of science, we have learned that the Greek gods never existed. This is why a recent movie of Troy has not mentioned a single god. Everything happened due to men’s ambition, love, loyalty or jealousy. With those emotion and people’s effort, we human beings can accomplish wonders and be master of the world.

God are of less importance than they used to be. Nonetheless, the gods and goddesses made The Story of Troy more mysterious and marvelous.

I have learnt from the book more than the wonderful story of history, love and war. I believe that human can determine their destiny by their own. I highly recommend this book to my friends with the same interest.

篇5:鲁滨逊漂流记的优秀读后感

当我郑重地翻过最后一页,读完了这个情节曲折,跌宕起伏的故事之后,我想我真的被它震撼了。这本《鲁滨逊漂流记》的着作是被誉为“英国小说之父“丹尼尔·笛福在59岁时写的。主人公鲁滨逊怀着云游四海的高志远向,越过大西洋和太平洋,在惊心动魄的航海中历经无数险情,后来整条船终于在太平洋上不幸罹难,唯有他一人得以奇迹般地活下来,并只身来到一座荒无人烟的孤岛上。

他从绝望的缝隙中得到了生命的启示,在孤岛上瞬间便几十年。他在孤岛上劳作生息,开拓荒地,圈养牲畜,生产水稻和小麦,年复一年与孤独为伴,克服了种种常人难以克服的困难。他曾与野兽斗智,也曾与吃人肉的野人斗勇。

曾有人说过,“作为一个人,首先应该学会的便是如何生存。”鲁滨孙并未做出什么惊天动地的事情,而是和我们一样在生活着。但这些琐碎的细节却又是鲁滨孙同困境对抗的过程,而这些困境又是几乎每个人都曾体会到的:黑暗,饥饿,恐惧,孤独。鲁滨孙的经历之所以具有传奇性是因为在一个特定的环境中,困境被放大了,对抗困境的时间被拉长了。

如果我是他,当船遇到暴风中失事的时候,我不可能像他那样去接受那重重的困难和波折,因为我没有自信。

如果我是他,当独自一人置身于荒岛之上,我不可能像他那样去面对突如其来的灾难,积极自救,因为我没那个能力。

如果我是他,当看到野人用自己同类开宴会时,我不可能像他那样勇敢的站出来,与他们搏斗,因为我没有那种胆量。

虽然,我是个男生,但也不得不承认自己的软弱与无能,在自己的生活中,很难遇到挫折,即使遇到了,爸爸妈妈总是扶着我,然而幸福中的我根本没意识到家人关爱是一种莫大的快乐看着鲁滨逊的经历,让我可以想象到他在孤岛生活的艰辛,体验到他不屈不挠的冒险精神,更使我重新燃起了对生活的热爱之火。

生活就像是一幅画,有的人画出了春天的生机,夏天的绿荫,秋天的收获,冬天的希望。而有的人却画出了春天的寂寞,夏天的焦躁,秋天的凄凉,冬天的悲哀。画的色彩如何,全取决于作画人本身对生活的态度。鲁滨逊那种对生活不断追求,对交往的向往都源于他那对生活无比热爱崇尚的精神。

如今,我们的生活如此丰富多彩,我们是否有去珍惜,甚至还有人会去轻生,多么愚昧的举动啊。想想鲁滨逊,他为了生存下来,回到正常的社会中去,一直坚持不懈地拼搏着。而对于那些人们,我不知他们领悟到了什么。生活中是存在着千千万万个困难,但也共存这许许多多的精彩与幸福,我们应该去挖掘去体会,那我们才会得到更多。

我崇尚着我的生活,尽管它很普通。我热爱生活,我要用我笨拙的笔去画,画出一张最美的生活!

鲁宾逊漂流记》是“欧洲小说之父”笛福在晚年时所创作的一部小说,在这部小说里,鲁滨逊是一个新兴资产阶级的代表人物,一个理想化的英雄,作者不仅赋予鲁滨逊种种优秀品质:勇敢、智慧坚强和热爱劳动,并使他具有一个“理想的”资产者的所应有的实干精神。作者把这些虚构的情景写得使人身临其境,我深陷其中,不能自拔。

主人公鲁滨逊怀着云游四海的高远志向,历险无数,后来在太平洋上不幸遇难,孤身来到了一座荒无人烟的岛上,靠着顽强的毅力和超人的智慧在岛上生存了下来。他在孤岛上劳作生息,积极乐观的生活下来,在孤岛上生存了几十年,他在这绝望的缝隙中得到了生命的启示。

拜读这部小说后,我不仅被作者独特的手法和丰富的想象力所吸引,更为鲁滨逊在经历坎坷时表现而钦佩至极,如果没有实干精神和坚强性格,他在岛上的日子是无法度过的。

“读一本好书,就是在和一位高尚的人谈话”,现在我坚定地相信这句话。这些文字,在我遇到困难和挫折时,都鼓舞着我奋发向前,让我摆脱了以前遇到困难就退缩的坏习惯,与此同时,我也会学习鲁滨逊那样勇敢、自立、不甘平庸,永不满足的精神。

不管在什么样的逆境、风浪里,我都不会轻易地向困难低头,要坚强地面对生活、学习中的各种挑战,面对挫折与挑战不要轻言放弃,摔倒了,爬起来;受伤了,不流泪。在以后的生活中要扬起生活的风帆,勇于拼搏,书写成功的人生!

Guy de Maupassant(18501893), one of the greatest critical realist writers in the world, is considered as one of three kings of world short story。 Maupassant created six novels and 359 medium forms during his brief lifetime, engendering a momentous effect on the later literature. And it’s his maiden work, Suet Ball that won him world-wide prestige.

In1870, with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, the real-based story Suet Ball happened. The heroine of the story is a humble harlot called Suet Ball. With a group of French residents of Rouen, recently occupied by the Prussian army, the 11 travelers are on their way fleeing to Le Havre in a stagecoach. In virtue of the appalling weather, the stagecoach moves rather slowly and has just covered a few miles by midday. Initially, those occupants snub Suet Ball whereas their attitudes alters with the emergence of a basket filled with scrumptious food and she caters for those hungry travelers selflessly.

The carriage doesn’t stop until they blunders into a Prussian-held territory called T?tes. A Prussian officer detains the coach with no definite reasons. In the next two days, the occupants wait with barely concealed impatience and eventually Suet Ball tells that they will be detained perpetually unless she approves of sleeping with the officer. Out of her patriotism, Suet Ball gives him a point-blank refusal. As it should be, those travelers behave furiously to the officer"s arrogance while during the next two days, they exemplify logic and morality in diverse ways to convince Suet Ball of its validity. What a kind-hearted girl! Finally Suet Ball gives up and sacrifices her body for everyone’s freedom.

The next morning, they are permitted to leave. But those "representatives of Virtue" totally neglect Suet Ball, casting scathing sights on the poor young woman while even disdaining talking to her and rejecting sharing their food with her in the same way that she did at the beginning. From their perspectives, Suet Ball turns out to be no more utilizable and should be condemned for her ashamed conduct. As the stagecoach travels deeper into the night, she seethes with rage against those hypocrites, and ultimately weeps for her lost dignity.

In this story, Maupassant highlighted the intense comparison between Suet Ball and the so-called nobles. Rapacity, hypocrisy, sexuality and nobility intertwine in the spotlight,eulogizing the underclass’ patriotism and lampooning the sham of the aristocracy. Maupassant portrays the inhabitants of the stagecoach in varied disparaging ways. The most luminous character belongs to the two nuns. At first they are portrayed as tranquil and subservient to Lord and demonstrate their fiery patriotic desire to dedicate to their motherland rather than a sordid intention like the other passengers: the nuns profess to haste to a military hospital to heal the wounded French soldiers, hence presenting the argument towards instigating Suet Ball to abandon her resistance. How absurd it is! Nuns are supposed to take strait vows and treat others benevolently. They fill Suet Ball"s head with arguments, arguing that it is not morally wrong to sleep with the officer in order to let the travelers leave, and that the longer she waits, the more young French soldiers will die as the nuns are not there to look after them. Superficially, they claim that it is for the good of the country but indeed they’re just taking advantage of her. Suet Ball"s resistance to the officer"s sexual advances again indicate her patriotism. Cruel wars have stripped all the external stuffs. In contrast to all of these is Suet Ball, a prostitute, revealed to be the most fiercely patriotic, virtuous, and morally admirable character, which Maupassant contrasts with the hypocrisy and snobbery of the others.

It is arguably Maupassant’s most famous short story. The carriage constitutes a microcosm of French society as a whole. And the narrative techniques of this story are rather sophisticated and carefully conceived. On balance, a real noble person like Suet Ball can’t be judged by the appearance or the occupation, his/ her moral quality will glitter when confronting the real ordeal. Consequently, I deem that Suet Ball is worth reading lingeringly, savoring every word.

"The great gatsby is a harbor of" American dream "in the literature writer Fitzgeralds works, Fitzgerald said his own extraordinary, with his parents is different also, dont even think of themselves as the son of parents, he has come from the self Platonic idea.

In this article, the hero that gatsby is a unique thought of the people, he also have Platonic love. He put himself as the son of god, he thought he should be gods career service, his pursuit of a "vast, secular, ostentation of beauty", obviously he imagine himself become Christs character. Seventeen, he decided to change name, from the original James gates to jay gatsby, jay gatsby is said to be English Jesus, God ` s boy pronunciation variation. But the irony is that, from the moment he changed his name, he began to pursue the so-called beauty and kindness, also began his tragic life. He saw Daisy buchanan as he pursues the incarnation of beauty. When he saw her, he knew that she had put his ideal and his life together. He knew his heart to heart with god, must be single-minded, never heart side wu chi. When he kissed her for the first time, "she is just like a flower bloom for him, and the embodiment of this ideal is done." On Daisy, gatsbys dream became flesh and blood. He desire and Daisy together to realize their dreams.

However, Daisy cannot act as the role. She is a just a miss the bourgeoisie for the highest goal in life, no thoughts, there is no sentiment, shallow false, bored, nothing to do. She never to realize gates than his dream to sacrifice their own vested interests. While gatsby himself could not achieve their dreams, of course, his idea is too unreal. He and Daisys husband Tom buchanan possess wealth, the difference between two people is at least he used his wealth to pursue a kind of "beauty", and try my best to get it. However, he didnt win it, finally, George Wilson, is Toms mistresss husband in Daisy couple killed gatsby conspired and egged. His dream completely shattered. Gatsbys failure is the fundamental reason is that he did the "American dream" has been out of date, his opportunity had little s dream come true.

I felt sorry for gatsby, he is so single-minded, but in the end was hurt by their favorite woman. Of course he is praiseworthy in some places. He can read the love is beautiful, and not like most people associate love and interests. But he really misled by his ideal, he did not see time and occasion, he shouldnt be on the right people also is reluctant to part with the past memories after married. And Daisy this person too vain, too greedy. To some extent, gates than the final fate has a lot to do with her.

《了不起的盖茨比》是一本在上文学上怀有“美国梦”的作家菲茨杰拉德的作品,菲茨杰拉德认为他自己与众不同,与他的父母也不同,甚至不认为自己是父母的儿子,他拥有来自于柏拉图式的自我观念。

在这篇文章中,主人公即盖茨比就是一种自认为与众不同的人,他同样拥有柏拉图式的爱情观。他把自己看成是上帝之子,他认为自己应为上帝的事业效劳,他追求一种“博大的,世俗的,虚饰的美”,显然他把自己想象成为基督一样的人物。十七岁的他决定改名,由原来的詹姆斯·盖茨改为杰伊·盖茨比,据说杰伊·盖茨比是英语Jesus, God`s boy 发音的变体。但是具有讽刺意味的是,从他改名那一刻起,他开始追求所谓的美和善,也就开始了他的人生悲剧。他把黛西·布坎南视为他追求的那种美的化身。当他见到她时,他知道她已经把他的理想与他的生命气息结合在一起了。他知道他的心要与上帝的心一样,必须专一,绝不可驰心旁骛。当他第一次亲吻她时,“她就像一朵鲜花一样为他绽放,于是这个理想的化身就完成了。”在黛西身上,盖茨比的梦想变得有血有肉。他企求与黛西联袂来实现自己的梦想。

但是,黛西根本无力担任这个角色。她不过是一个一项了为人生最高目标的资产阶级小姐,没有思想,没有情操,浅薄虚假,百无聊赖,无所事事。她绝不可能为实现盖茨比自己的梦想去牺牲自己的既得利益。而盖茨比自己当然不可能实现自己的梦想,他的想法太过虚幻。他和黛西的丈夫汤姆·布坎南都拥有财富,两人的不同之处是他至少用他的财富去追求一种“美”,并竭尽全力去得到它。然而,他没有赢得它,最后,乔治·威尔逊,也就是汤姆的情妇的丈夫在黛西夫妇的合谋和挑唆下杀死了盖茨比。他的梦想彻底破灭了。盖茨比的失败就其根本原因是他做的那个“美国梦”已过时了,他所处的年代梦想成真的机会已经微乎其微。

我自己为盖茨比感到惋惜,他如此专一,但最终被自己喜欢的女子所害。当然他有些地方是值得称赞的。他能够把爱情看得很美,而没有像大多数人一样把爱情和利益联系起来。不过他确实被自己的理想所误导,他没有看清时间与场合,他不该在心仪人已婚后还对过去美好回忆恋恋不舍。而黛西这个人太爱慕虚荣,太过于贪心。从某种程度上讲,盖茨比最终的下场跟她有很大的关系。

Pride and Prejudice is a novel written by the famous English writer, Jane Austen, who was the sixth children in a family of seven and was born in the village of steventon in Hampshire in 1775 and died of Addison’s disease in 1817. The book first published on 28 January 1813 by the bookseller Thomas Egerton who had also published Sense and Sensibility, the original version of the novel was written in 1796-1797 under the title First Impressions .

Pride and Prejudice is a love story, mainly tells the love between Elizabeth and Darcy. It divided into 2 volumes and is composed of 42 chapters altogether. The major characters are Mr. Darcy, A rich and proud young man. Elizabeth, the second eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Mr. Bingley , A rich young bachelor. Jane, the first daughter of Mr. and Mrs.Bennet. The story begin with Bingley’s arrival. One day when Mrs.Bennet hear Bingley has taken Netherfield, a house near her’s. She is so happy and arranged one of her five daughters marriage with him. At a ball, luckly, Bingley and Jane fall in love at the first sight. Darcy, a friend of Bingley’s , was attracted to Elizabeth, a lively and spirited girl. But Darcy greatly offends her by his supercilious behavior and this dislike is increased by Wickham, a dashing young militia officer of the unjust treatment he has met with at Darcys hands.

One day when Darcy and Bingley’s two sisters disgusted with the vulgarity of Mrs. Bennet and her two youngest daughters, effectively separated Bingley and Jane. Meanwhile, Collins, a cousin of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet, married charlotte, a friend of Elizabeth’s, for Elizabeth’s refuse to marry him. But One day Darcy send Elizabeth a letter, in which he justifies the separation of his friend Bingley and Jane and make it clear that Wickham is. So Elizabeth changed her opinions and ideas toward him. Once when Elizabeth visited her uncle and aunt in the north of England, she met Darcy there and witnessed his changes through series of behaviors, no longer pride and become gentle and attentive, all these made their marriage arranged, and they also suitably provided for Bingley and Jane’s reunited and engaged. The story ends with both their happy marriages.

My point of view towards the masterpiece of Jane Austen’s is that this novel reflects the English human sentiment of the end of 18th century and the early of 19th century under the circumstance of conservative,and tells us the difference ways and attitudes to marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Bennet’s five daughters’. Thereby reveal the author herself attitude towards marriage, that is love and marriage based on money, property and social status is not perfect, but it is also stupid Without considering all of these. There, the author emphasize the importance of ideal marriage, meanwhile, to be opposed to love & marriage based on money or property and to be opposed to people’s laugh love & marriage off.

The author takes the affection/love as the cornerstone of ideal marriage between male and female. Elizabeth as the leading character in this novel, was born in the family of squireen’s, and is loved by Darcy. Darcy propose marriage to her in spite of difference in the possession of property and social status, but is refused byElizabeth for his pride , the novel demonstrate that if the pride of Darcy’s existed , there will be no love and also happy marriage between Elizabeth and he, it is really nice that Elizabeth witness the changes of Darcy’s through series of behavior in the following days.

Viewing that he is no longer pride and then eliminating her prejudice to him, finally engaged with him and leading a happy marriage.

At the end of the story, when Geoff returned, he did not mention how much money he had received. Instead, he vowed not to hunt for treasure any more.

rale, let person collapse, loss of hope in life. If failure can not beat you, but you stepped on the foot, then success will surely belong to you.

Famous writer Ernest Hemingway in "the old man and the sea" to shape of the old man is a failure and dare to fight the case.

The old man and the sea is mainly about a man named diego old fisherman fishing through a special. In did not hit a fish for eighty-four days, but in the second day, he was very lucky to had caught a big marlin. The marlin is his life caught the biggest fish, the fish is longer than his boat to 2 feet! Marlin body big, strength is big. It pulled the old man and the boat drifted at sea for two days and two nights. Old man experience in these two days and two nights (a) has never experienced a tough test.

A bumpy road has many twists and turns in life, failure is often encountered, we should always have a heart to strong and not to yield to face failure, success will be coming to us.

失败,在许多人的眼中是非常可怕的,它一旦猖狂起来,就能击溃人的斗志,让人彻底崩溃,失去生活的希望。如果失败战胜不了你,而是被你踩在脚下,那么,成功必定属于你。

著名作家海明威在《老人与海》中塑造的那位老人就是一个敢与失败作斗争的例子。

《老人与海》主要讲了一位名叫桑地亚哥的老渔翁一次特别的打鱼经过。在连续八十四天没有打到一条鱼后,但在第二天,他非常幸运地捕获到了一条巨大的大马林鱼。那条马林鱼是他平生捕到的最大的一条鱼,那条鱼比他的小船还要长2英尺呢!马林鱼的身体大,力气自然也大。它拖着老人和小船在海上漂流了两天两夜。老人在这两天两夜中经历(了)从来没有经历过的艰难考验。大马林鱼在大海上奋力挣扎,企图逃回大海。老人为了制服马林鱼,精疲力竭,皮开肉绽,但他并没有向大马林鱼屈服。他凭着顽强的意志,终于把大马林鱼扎死,拴在了船头。然而,幸运并没有出现,等待老人的是更大的考验。一群嗅着血腥味而来的大鲨鱼与已经皮开肉绽的老人展开了殊死博斗。最后老人的命虽然保住了,但鲨鱼们吃光了大马林鱼,老人拖回去的最终是一副光秃秃的骨架……

人生的道路是曲折坎坷的,遇到失败是再平常不过的事,我们应该时时刻刻拥有一颗坚强、不屈服的心来面对失败,成功就一定会向我们走来。

The story created a classic tough guy image. Tells the story of Santiago Cuba old man in the boundless sea fish caught eight days, but in the eighth day of the story, he caught a big marlin in the open sea, the old man in fighting with the marlin hand slashed, but he never give up, finally around three days later, will it uniform.

However, Santiago is not good luck, because he after uniform marlin, a grey whale sharks can smell the flavor of the marlin, he swam down to Santiagos fishing boat, ready to eat the marlin, so injured Santiago was at grey whale sharks and picked up the spear, when the moment of the assassination of grey whale sharks, have bite a piece of fish meat, grey whale shark defeated, but as a result of marlin tail meat is bitten off, so much more blood flow, it will let more sharks smell marlin, to marlin.

So I understand the life road twists and turns, long and full of challenge, but as long as our unremitting efforts, no matter the result is failure or success, is worth people respect.

故事塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。讲述了古巴的桑提亚哥老人在茫茫的大海钓了8天的鱼都一无所获,然而在故事的第8天,他在远海中钓到了一条巨大的马林鱼,老人虽然在与马林鱼的搏斗中手被割破,但他始终没有放弃,最后在周旋了三天后,将它制服。

然而,桑提亚哥的运气并不好,因为他在制服马林鱼后,一条灰鲸鲨就闻到了马林鱼的味道,便游到了桑提亚哥的渔船旁,准备吃掉马林鱼,于是,受伤的桑提亚哥便又拿起了鱼叉朝灰鲸鲨刺去,当灰鲸鲨被刺的一瞬间,已经咬下了一块鱼尾上的肉,灰鲸鲨被打败了,但由于马林鱼的尾巴上的肉被咬掉了,所以血就流得更加多了,这便让更多鲨鱼闻到马林鱼的气味,过来吃马林鱼。之后,真的又有两条鲨鱼来了,分别是窄头双髻鲨、铲鲨,但都被桑提亚哥制服了,可在回港的路上,桑提亚哥又碰见了一大群鲨鱼,这时的桑提亚哥已是筋疲力竭,但桑提亚哥还强行地撑着自己与鲨鱼搏斗,虽然他使出了全力,但最后大马林鱼还是被吃掉了,老人回港时大马林鱼只剩下一副骨架了。

由此我明白了人生的道路曲折、漫长、充满了挑战,但是只要我们坚持不懈努力过,不管结果是失败还是成功,都是值得人们尊敬的。

在一个寂静的夜晚,路上的灯光忽明忽暗,透过窗户看不见行走的人影。而我,正捧着我心爱的书——《鲁滨逊漂流记》,津津有味地读起来。

《鲁滨逊漂流记》是由英国作家丹尼尔·福笛所作的一本海上探险小说。书中主要讲了主人公鲁滨逊因船只遇险,船上只有他一个人活了下来。他在没有任何生活用品的情况下,却在岛上生活了28年后,凭借机智和勇敢终于返回了英国,我为鲁滨逊的机智与勇敢深深地折服了。

读完这本书,让我情不自禁想起了我自己的一段亲身经历。在我四年级时,爸爸妈妈推荐我去学游泳,当时我无论如何都不敢去。直到一大家人一番言论之后。我才愿意跟着爸爸去游泳馆尝试一下。站在游泳池边,看见水池里的哥哥姐姐像小青蛙一样,我开始动摇了,有点儿想下水里试试,爸爸仿佛看出了我的心思,把我拉下水里,结果刚下水就呛了几口水,鼻子酸酸的,眼睛也睁不开,吓得我不敢下水了。可是爸爸在水里游来游去,很幸福的样子。打趣地说:“儿子,来吧,无论谁学游泳都要有你刚才的经历,男子汉怕啥呀?加油,我相信你一定行的……”在爸爸的鼓励下,我也鼓足了勇气想自我挑战一番。根据爸爸对我讲的注意事项及要点,反复尝试,觉得一次比一次轻松。我努力的学着爸爸的样子向对面游去,费了九牛二虎之力,我抬头一看,我终于游到了对岸,我当时激动得一蹦三尺高!心想:功夫不负有心人。

《鲁宾逊漂流记》和我的亲身经历告诉我一个道理:“只要不放弃,没有战胜不了的‘难题’。”我要向鲁滨逊学习,做一个真正不怕困难,勇往直前的人。

这本书叫《鲁滨孙漂流记》。故事并不复杂:出身于商人之家的鲁滨孙,不甘于像父辈那样平庸地过一辈子,一心向往着充满冒险与挑战的海外生活,于是毅然舍弃安逸舒适的生活,私自离家出海航行,去实现遨游世界的梦想,但每次都历尽艰险。有一次,风暴将船只打翻,鲁滨孙一个人被海浪抛到一座荒无人烟的海岛上,在那里度过了28年孤独的时光。小说的主要部分就是对他这段荒岛生活的生动记述。

除了精彩离奇的故事外,小说最吸引人的地方就是鲁滨孙的性格。他敢于冒险,勇于追求自由自在、无拘无束的生活。即使流落荒岛,也绝不气馁。在荒无人烟、缺乏最基本的生存条件的小岛上,他孤身一人,克服了许许多多常人无法想像的困难,以惊人的毅力顽强地活了下来。没有房子,他自己搭建;没有食物,他尝试着打猎、种谷子、驯养山羊、晒野葡萄干;他还自己摸索着做桌椅,做陶器,用围巾筛面做面包……在岛上的第24年,他还搭救了一个野人,给他取名为“星期五”。在他的教育下,“星期五”成了一个忠实的奴仆。就这样,鲁滨孙在荒岛上建立了自己的物质和精神“王国”。面对人生困境,鲁滨孙的所作所为,显示了一个硬汉子的坚毅性格和英雄本色,体现了资产阶级上升时期的创造精神和开拓精神。因此小说一出版,就受到人们的热烈欢迎。现在,在西方,“鲁滨孙”已经成为冒险家的代名词和千千万万读者心目中的英雄。

《鲁滨孙漂流记》之所以成为文学史上不朽的名著,还在于它的真实性和不凡的艺术表现力。在它之前,欧洲的长篇小说大都是以帝王将相的业绩或骑士美女的浪漫传奇为主要内容的。笛福开始尝试用日常语言来描写普通人的生活。小说虽是一个虚构的故事,但对鲁滨孙荒岛生活的描写逼真而自然,表现了作者非凡的想像力和艺术表现力。此外,小说通篇采用第一人称的叙述方式,情节完全通过人物的自白串联起来,语言明白晓畅,朴素生动,这一切给作品增添了不少魅力。

Recently read "the great gatsby, a story of hegemony set up dawn. The north American continent, is hundred years ago, the economic development of the train sped forward; Friction machines roar, but also too much to hide a moment of the heart. The book, that history is a little mark.

Investigate its likelihood is a persons tragedy, is the tragedy of the society as a whole, may not be important. Wine party smallpox, extravagant luxury residence, colorful gorgeous clothes, just for the sake of his heart love Daisy. Think first, young and beautiful, sketched a period of time; Flies away and alternative fate lane person, in the heart of love is someone elses confidante. The deep love, the injury the farthest, cut; Not reality, immersed in the beautiful dream, but blurred the forward field of vision. Weakness of gunfire, all the dreams and beautiful, vulnerable to burst, scattered in the wind, without trace.

Gatsby, his great, because he was the degree of potential energy, but because of his pursuit of the good feelings. He hasnt done anything wrong, but also had to the empty rooms. A dream, how to do, easy, but also how to away, difficult to achieve. In an age of people pursuit of material, to be backed by real emotions. Buckish, stained with money, odour, lost a condition is a pure heart. Leave a piece of pure land, at that time, doomed to oblivion the audacity of commitments.

Finally wrote: "we continue to strive to move forward, stream, after being constantly push, until the return to the days of the old one."

Heart can not help a Chu. Accustomed to another potential, accustomed to the intrigue, people, really happy? Blundering world, difficult times, disguise the Buddhism, purports to recall the mood like that is like water. This, is the only thing we can do?

"Day after day, excitement consumed by gradually." Reality, kill too much like real unreal image. Those beautiful like a castle in the air, and hollow crowd away already. In between dreams and reality, we go from here?

Gatsby is the choice of the former. Even if the cruel reality, fate, his image is still great; Pure love is hard to stop, right and wrong about his, also make them in a glorious situation across the sphere of a bygone era. Quietly away, few people look at the light. Through one hundred, is the ray of light, to the left a dark era deserves stay have story.

Even if you, in the reality, still mark a dream back without regrets. That is worth pity era, these moving words, bring us infinite daydream.

最近在读《了不起的盖茨比》,一个霸权建立破晓时分的故事。那是百余年前的北美大陆,经济发展的火车疾驶向前;机器的摩擦轰鸣,却也过多地掩饰了一时的人心。这本书,便是那段历史点滴的印记。

究其然是一个人的悲剧,还是整个社会的悲剧,也许并不重要。酒天花地的派对,奢靡豪华的住处,五彩绚丽的衣衫,只是为了他心中挚爱的黛茜。回想初见之时,年轻美丽,一段草样的年华;荏苒而逝,奈何命运弄人,心中的挚爱已然他人的红颜知己。爱得愈深,伤得愈切;不干现实,沉浸于夙愿的美好,却模糊了前行的视野。无力的枪声,所有的梦想与美好,不堪一击地破灭,散于风中,了无踪迹。

盖茨比,他了不起,因为他因时度势的魄力,更因为他追寻美好的情愫。他没有做错什么,却也只得这人去楼空。一个梦想,如何极尽,唾手可得,却也如何之远,难以达到。在人人追求物质的时代,真实的情感那般一触即溃。浮华众生,沾染了铜臭气味,失却了是一颗至真纯净的内心。不留一片净土,那个时代,注定要湮没无畏的追梦者。

文中最后一句写道:“我们继续奋力前行,逆水行舟,被不断地后推,直至回到往昔的那段岁月。”

心中不禁一搐。习惯了争权夺势,习惯了勾心斗角,人们,究竟幸福吗?浮躁的世界,寸步难行的时代,掩饰了流俗,口口声声追忆似水般的年华。这,难道就是我们唯一可以做的吗?

“日复一日,兴奋之情被渐渐吞噬。”现实,抹杀了太多如真似幻的意象。那些似空中楼阁一般的美好,与空洞的人群已然渐行渐远。在梦想与现实之间,我们该何去何从?

盖茨比的选择是前者。纵然现实残酷,命运无常,他的形象依然伟大;单纯的难以阻挡的爱,左右了他的是是非非,也使之以一种壮美的势态划过一个过往时代的苍穹。悄然而逝,少有人注视其光芒。穿越了百年,正是这缕光,给那个昏暗的时代留下了一个值得留忆的故事。

即使逆水行舟,在现实的洪流中,依然印记一个追梦无悔的背影。那个值得悲悯的时代,这些动人的文字,带给我们无限的遐想。

篇20:《力与运动》英语读后感

全文共 3902 字

I have got a lot of interesting scientific knowledge from the books of National Geographic Reading Expeditions, some of which are about life, physics. I really can’t help losing myself in the colorful pictures and clear words in the books. After reading the books, I have been considering a question: What if we lived without science? Great changes have taken place in the world with the help of science. In the past, life was nasty, brutish and short. It is hard to imagine how our forefathers could do without so many conveniences that modern science brings about. Back then, only a small group of people enjoyed the very few comforts. But the majority of people didn’t even have sufficient food, let along their privilege to be educated. Anyway, it is science that changes the world and makes people’s life better and better, although it also leads to some bad aspects at the same time.

From the discovery of the gravity to the first step on the moon, we human beings have experienced a long process of developing science. And now, this process is still continuing much faster. New organisms are already being engineered, and new genetically modified crops promise benefits from higher yields and less use of harmful chemicals and so on. A lot of examples are showing this point. In the future, changes are likely to be even much greater as science reaches out to shape life itself. Maybe one day, the possibility that life existed on Mars billions of years ago will be potentially one of the greatest discoveries of our time. It is the force of the competition, we human beings’ inquiring mind and initiative that bring about the non-stopped development of science. Therefore, it is difficult and impossible to prevent science from changing the world and our life as well.

At present, we are in two minds about science. On the one hand, we are enjoying the sweet life as a result of the evelopment of science, and expect it to continue. And we are showing our interests into some scientific expeditions, such as the astronomy, the alien civilization, etc. On the other hand, we are distrustful of it, due to the lack of understanding of science. Some people thus far are still very superstitious, and they would even believe in superstitions rather than believe in science.

Stephen Hawking, one of the most remarkable scientists in the world, once said, “In a democratic society, the public needs to have a basic understanding of the science, so that it can make informed decisions and not leave them in the hands of experts.” This has reminded me of Professor Alan G. MacDiarmid from America, the person who got the Nobel Prize for chemistry in the year of XX. In his lecture at Peking University this year, he put forward that science is people. He also expounded the importance of the basic science for the public. Evidently, every one of us does need science, or we can’t live without it.

Now that everyone needs science, why not take advantage of some means to give the public the right basic scientific knowledge? So when they face the problems such as acid rain, the greenhouse effect, nuclear weapons, environment destruction and some other problems, they can also make informed decisions on these subjects, just as what Hawking said. One aspect relies on what is taught in schools. But science is often taught in an uninteresting way and most students just learn it by rote to pass examinations. However, the final goal of learning science is not to pass examinations or to get a higher score; instead, we should try to make full use of it to change our world and life. While learning, we should try to ask more questions and we should have the courage of suspecting the knowledge in the books, as some of the scientific conclusions are likely to be corrected in the future. Who knows. So not only must we change our attitude towards science, but also the way of teaching and learning science.
