老人与海英文读后感英文【精彩20篇】

《老人与海》这本书中，老人84天没有捕到鱼，但是老人没有放弃，老人在海边住下来了，第85天又出去打鱼，“功夫不负有心人”终于出现了个大家伙——马林鱼。马林鱼和老人不分上下，老人拉着这条鱼在船边转了好几圈，他用了九牛二虎之力才搞定了这巨大的马林鱼。

之所以老人成功捕获到了马林鱼，正是他那永不言弃、坚持不懈的精神，正如他的一句著名的言语：“一个人可以被毁灭，但绝不能被打败！”因为被打败了只要还有一口气在就还能够重新再站起来。

老人的精神一代一代地流传下来。例如：霍金，他小时候双脚瘫痪了，到了现在，他全身都瘫痪了，只有右手的三根手指能动，但他还是坚持不懈，终于获得了一项伟大无比的成功！他曾说过：“就算我们全身瘫痪，也不能让知识和头脑瘫痪，如果知识和头脑瘫痪，就再也不能有知觉和思维了。”

伟大的成功，背后总是有付出，只有劳动，才能有收获。“一份耕耘一份收获，一份辛苦一份成功。”。生活中总有99%的人是付出了巨大的辛苦，即使遇到困难也能坚持不懈永不放弃，才获得了成功。

I have read many books, I also learned many knowledge, also let I learned a lot. What impressed me most is a book such a story, Cuban fisherman Santiago continuous 8 days no fish, see in the eye by other fishermen old fisherman just a loser, but his perseverance moved me. He finally landed a big marlin, the big marlin let old fisherman off for three days at sea exhausted, this spirit is worth our learning. The big marlin was killed, tied to the side of the boat.

In return, the old fisherman were repeatedly attacked by a shark, he used up all the way to deal with the shark. Back to harbour, only fish head fish and a bone. Although fish was eaten by sharks, but he will not disappear.

This story mainly tells us that can be hurt, but not defeated. Before, what if I do bad, can only retreat, sometimes, I only speak in words. I am not sure, every examination concerned about their bad.

The old man and the sea, the old fisherman and shark struggle, harpoon was taken away by sharks. He tumbled on the knife strapped to the OARS pierced. The knife is broken, the old fisherman with a short stick. Short stick is lost, he used rudder to play. These is mainly told us not to have no confidence.

我读了许多书，我也从中学到了许多知识，也让我学到了许多道理。让我印象最深的一本书是这样一个故事，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续了8天都没捕到鱼，被别的渔夫看在眼里老渔夫只是一个失败者而已，可是他的坚持不懈打动了我。他终于钓上了一条大马林鱼，这条大马林鱼让老渔夫在海上整整脱了三天才筋疲力尽，这种精神值得我们学习。那条大马林鱼被他杀死了，绑在小船的一边。

在回归时，老渔夫一再遭到了鲨鱼的袭击，他用尽了所有的办法来对付这条鲨鱼。回到港湾时，只剩鱼头鱼尾和一根骨头。尽管鱼肉已经被鲨鱼吃完了，但他的意志并没有消失。

这个故事主要告诉了我们可以被受伤害，但不能被打败。以前，我做什么事情如果做不好，只会退缩，有的时候我只会说丧气的话。每次考试的时候我都没有把握，担心自己考不好。

《老人与海》中，老渔夫和鲨鱼搏斗，鱼叉被鲨鱼给带走了。他把小刀绑在桨上面胡乱扎扎。刀子折断了，老渔夫用一根短的棍子。短棍也给丢了，他用舵来打。这些主要就是告诉我们不要没有信心。

当你遇上挫折，你会怎么办?

或许，你会逃避，找了个避风的港湾;

或许，你会选择哭泣，用泪水清洗伤心欲绝的心灵;

或许，你会选择求救，寻找可以依靠的独木舟，抑或只是一根树枝。

傅雷曾长叹：不经历磨难的逃避是轻佻的。哭泣之后你又将如何?求助，也许会有，也许不会!

我们能做的，就是拍拍胸脯，坦然的面对!

曾记否，海明威的《老人与海》，主人公——老人桑提亚哥，面对着凶猛的恶鱼，硬是拖着疲惫的身子与之进行不懈的抗争，整整八十一天!他胜了，胜得坦荡!他像一面旌旗，立在海岸上，面对着浩瀚的大海和汹涌的波涛，无语，只是挺着胸脯，以撼人的气魄迎着海风猎猎作响!

“一个人可以被消灭，却不能够被打败!”强而有力的音符从桑提亚哥的嘴里，不，是从心里涌出，他虽是一个虚构的人物，但他的精神却是真实的，他的精神是活的，是震撼人心的!

桑提亚哥，一位沧桑的老人，以他的实际行动演绎了他的誓言：一个人可以被消灭，但是不可以被打败!小说中的老人犹如此，我们哪?我们现实的人呢?

对我们来说，很多同学在学习过程中一次考试的失利都会一蹶不振，失去前行的勇气从而丧失学习的信心。读完《老人与海》这本书后，让我们真正领悟到了有挫折并不可怕，关键是要勇于面对挫折，并不屈不挠顽强的去战胜它。

生活就像一条溪流，有过平淌，有过激进，更会有阻遇。生活，如同大海有风平浪静，也会有海浪，更会有海啸!我们不能奢求生活的一帆风顺，每个人在生活中定会遭遇挫折，关键是我们应怎样面对挫折。

当挫折来临时，不要害怕，不要恐慌，要勇敢面对!

我们要知道，成长的路上有阳光，有风雨，我们要学会与命运抗争，要笑着完成每一次作业，笑着完成每一次考试，笑着面对困难与挫折，笑着度过每一天，让挫折成为我们成长的阶梯，挫折就会为你更为精彩的人生喝彩!

记得一句话：“当死神露出他的尖牙对我笑时，我能做的就是对之报以一笑!”很欣赏作者的风度，也想学着吟一句：当挫折一步步靠近时，我们能做的是操起自信的矛和坚强的盾，勇敢的迎上去!

是的，自信和坚强是战胜挫折的有力法宝，怯弱和退缩只能助长挫折气焰。试想，一个人还没有和挫折交锋就已发抖，又怎么能战胜挫折哪?

当生活遇到挫折，有桑提亚哥的精神扶持你，你还会选择退缩，逃避吗?相信你不会!

当生活遭遇挫折，不要哭泣。操起自信和坚强的心灵武器，勇敢的迎上去。身后的桑提亚哥老人笑了。面前的困难挫折恶魔怕了

“书读百遍，其义自现”说明了读书的好处很多。所以这个暑假妈妈给我买了许多书，其中一本《老人与海》是我最感兴趣的一本。

书中的主人翁是一位老人，他住在一个小渔村里，说了他常年出海捕鱼为生，在很长一段时间里他一无所获。一天，他又像往常一样出海捕鱼，在等待了许久，一条大鱼上钩了！令老人吃惊的是，这条大鱼竟然比自己的船身还要长！凭着老人多年的捕鱼经验，要想捕获这条鱼就必须耗尽了它的力量。鱼挣脱不开，便一直拖着小船游。老人随着这条鱼在海上漂流了三天三夜，终于在老人的坚持下捕获了这条大鱼。他拖着鱼往回赶，谁曾想，正是这条大鱼引来了鲨鱼群，最终大鱼被鲨鱼吃得只剩下了骨架。老人这种永不言败的精神深深地震撼了我。

其实人生总是有坎坷的，只有坚持了成功才会大于失败。就像我刚刚开始学跳舞一样，先要练压腿和劈叉等一些基本功。那时还小，压腿还不算困难，但劈叉就有点困难了。每次劈都要靠着墙，因为只有这样才能劈直一些。虽然十分艰难，但我坚持了下来，最终克服了这个困难。如果人生中一帆风顺，没有一件不顺心的事发生，那我们也就不可能从这当中吸取教训。但遇到了不顺心的事，一定不能轻易放弃，要努力要坚持，相信自己一定会成功！

在我们遇到困难之时，记住要坚持，胜利就在我们眼前。

你对动物的态度是怎样的呢？是真情对待？还是态度恶劣呢？你又是如何看待和动物之间的关系呢？是当做亲人？还是当做玩具？

今天，我学了一篇文章——《老人与海鸥》。故事是这样的：每逢冬季来临，海鸥便成群结队地来到翠湖之畔，老人也像赶赴约会似的，每天到翠湖之畔去喂海鸥，风雨无阻。他视海鸥为儿女，给它们起名字，喂饼干，照顾伤病的海鸥。久而久之，海鸥与老人结下了深厚的情谊。然而有一天，老人去世了。海鸥们在老人的遗像前翻飞盘旋，连声鸣叫，后又肃立不动，像是为老人守灵的白翼”天使“，不忍离开自己的亲人。

读了这篇文章后，我不禁留下了感动的泪水。老人为了海鸥，竟然每天步行二十余里去看海鸥；老人为了海鸥，竟然连自己的衣服破了、旧了也不换，而是为海鸥买食物，老人为了海鸥做出了许多让我们意想不到的事情。海鸥对老人的情谊也是如此的深厚，海鸥竟然为老人吊唁，用自己独特的方式表达着对老人的留恋。善良的老人，纯洁的海鸥，用真情向我们展示了那无私的爱和震撼的情。着怎能不让人为之动容呢？

我原来养过一只小狗，它叫欢欢。从妈妈把它带回家的第一天，我就认定了它是我们家的一份子，是我的朋友。我每天和欢欢一起奔跑、玩耍，快乐极了！每天晚上睡觉前，我都要对它说，晚安！在这一个月里我快乐极了，可是，有一天妈妈却说要把欢欢送走。我留下了不舍的眼泪，欢欢好像也知道它要离开我似的，在这一天里，它时时刻刻都和我在一起，临走的时候，欢欢也伤心地哭了。

世间万物都是有灵性的，遍及天地的爱心是我们这个世界的希望。动物是我们亲密无间的朋友，它们和我们一起组成了丰富、美丽、和谐的世界，让我们和动物和谐相处吧！

最近，我读了一部美国名著《老人与海》。轻轻合上这本书，不禁思绪万千，我的心早已随着这书飘到那波涛汹涌的大海。

《老人与海》是海明威笔下的一篇杰作，主要讲述了一个以捕鱼为生的老渔夫桑地雅哥的故事。他出海八十四天却一无所获，被其他渔夫视为倒霉的人，但他并未绝望，最终钓上了一条大鱼。他和大鱼在海上搏斗了整整三天，才将鱼杀死，并将其绑在小船的一侧。归程中大鱼一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，回港时只剩下脊骨和尾巴。

当我读到“老渔夫想：这里离海岸实在是太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼……”时，我十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为他这时已经打到了一些鱼，但他没有安于现状，而是向着更大的目标前进。再看看我们，平时遇到一点小困难，我们都叫苦连天。我们是祖国的未来，应该像这位老人一样胸怀大志，去追求更好、更大的目标。当我读到“大马林鱼开始快速地围着小渔船游动，将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆上，老人右手高举着钢叉，在它跃出水面的一瞬间，竭尽全力地向它的心脏掷去，一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命，它静静地浮在水面上……”时，我的心也像一块大石头落了地。我非常钦佩老人那种毫不畏惧、坚持不懈的精神，虽然知道对手实力很强，但他没有丝毫退缩，而是迎难而上。正因为有了这种精神，老渔夫才获得了这场生死较量的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神，做事情不怕困难，才能取得成功。

在日常生活中，我们经常会因考试的失败而失落，对自己没有信心；也许会因为朋友的背弃而伤心，自暴自弃。但是，自从我读了《老人与海》后，想想来渔夫，再想想自己，就觉得自己碰到的不是问题。同学们，人生谁没有失败过，最重要的是在失败过后重新勇敢的站起来，积极的去面对，去寻找失败的根本原因，并改正。

人的一生之路很长，也充满着各种磨难和坎坷，只要我们坚持到底，永不退缩，用心去迎接挑战，做一个不可战胜，真正的胜利者。

书读万卷，其义自现。书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。这个暑假我利用闲暇的时间阅读了一本世界名著，——《老人与海》。

老人与海主要讲述的是一位年迈的老人在经历近九十天的风雨之后，抓住了自己心爱的大马哈鱼，结果却在归航途中被其它动物吞噬，最后只留下一具白花花骨架的故事。令人读了心酸，读了落泪。但是书中却没有过多的悲情描写，没有描写这个老人生活是有多么困苦，多么艰难，上天多么对他生活的不公，对他命运的不公，而是将更多的笔墨头道投入到她坚强乐观、积极向上，对待生活，如同一簇永不熄灭的火焰一般，正能量的描写，让人觉得在悲痛之余感到更多的而是正义的力量，而是对生命的渴望，对价值的追求，对自己人生以及各种各样事物的永不放弃。

文中的老人。是一个很乐观的人，他每天都会与他那位“忘年交”的小男孩一起在一块吃饭，一起说笑，一起看足球比赛。记得那一次，都很晚了，他们仍然有说有笑，非常舒适惬意。虽然今天一天的收获也没有，但是却非常的开心，因为他所支持的足球队赢了！这要是放在我们生活的周围，整天看到那些挣不到钱，那些事业不成功的人唉声叹气，而书中的老人却是那样的坚强乐观，这又不何尝是我们所能学习的榜样呢？

书中的老人同样是一个非常勤奋的人，每天天不亮，那位男孩正在睡觉的时候，他便能早早的穿上衣服起床了。而最后那位体贴的男孩也了解到他的痛苦，了解到他的辛劳，竟然赶在他还没有起床之前，偷偷的起床，想要和他一起去捕鱼，他还甚至为老人盖上了一层被子，文中的男孩真是一位体贴老人孝敬老人的好孩子。但是在我们生活的周围常常看到这样的一幕：父母、老人全都围着一个小公子或者小公主在团团转，他们想要吃的便伸手拿去，他们想要喝的便叫他的爷爷奶奶帮忙端来，他们就像是使唤奴隶一样使唤自己的亲人，与这位书中的男孩相比，他们真的是汗颜啊。

《老人与海》，这本书是一本非常经典且短小精悍的书目，文章的作者也因此获得了诺贝尔奖。我刚开始还以为这部书仅仅是一部普通的小说，但是在看完之后，那种深深蕴含其中的精神力量震撼到撞击了每一个人的心灵。

This is a story book, the inside of the story is preposterous, quirky and funny; This is a but with more than pages of books, the show is just a little girl in a long afternoon met there can all kinds of animals and men; This is also a even in fairy tale books seem most ordinary book, all the characters in the story can speak, all with their own idea-this and any a fairy tale almost no different than any.

From beginning to end, the story is so strange. Alice has been somehow become bigger or smaller that I almost drowned by his own tears; She met a lot of animals and a lot of people, try to talk and talk to them, but they are not completely normal, and it is not friendly; She has not been ?

翻译：

中文：这是一本故事书，里面的故事荒诞不经，离奇而可笑;这是一本不过百余页的书，所展现的仅仅是一个小女孩在一个漫长的下午遇见的各种不可能存在的动物和人;这也是一本即使在童话书中都显得极其普通的书，故事中的所有角色都会说话，都有自己的想法——这与任何一个童话故事相比几乎没有任何不同。

从头至尾，整个故事都是那样的奇怪。爱丽丝一直莫名其妙地变大变小，以至于差点被自己的眼泪淹死;她见到了很多动物和很多人，试着和他们聊天说话，只是他们都完全不正常，而且并不友好;她一直不停地问这问那，但是对方——不管是谁都不会给她一个合乎常理的答案，可是爱丽丝居然还会相信!这一切都让我如此地哭笑不得。当爱丽丝梦游的时候，我好像也在梦游。看着一堆错误赫然摆在眼前，而我，却束手无策：这就是所谓的“仙境”吗?

One of the most interesting questions about Gullivers Travels is whether the Houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of Swifts satire. In other words, in Book IV, is Swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? If we look closely at the way that the Houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact Swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.

First we have to see that Swift does not even take Gullver seriously. For instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. Also, when he first sees the Yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. He says, "I must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. This is why Swift refers to Erasmus Darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the Beagle-to show how Gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. But if Lemule Gulliver is satirized, so are the Houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. They walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. As Gulliver says, "It was with the utmost astonishment that I witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a Vienese waltz. To my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the Lord Edmund Burke" . As this quote demonstrates, Gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the Houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. For instance, the leader of the Houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of Charles Dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the Kings and Queens of England up to George II. Swift subtly shows that this Houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of Queen Elizabeths husband.

Swifts satire of the Houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. One of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that Guenivre has brought with him to the island. First she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. But when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "As I watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than Mr. Pope being fitted by a clothier. She dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. My horse sniffed the creature and turned away." It might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. But it makes more sense if we see that Swift is being satiric here: it is the female Houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century England. The Houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress Gullivers horse. Gulliver imagines the horse saying, Sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held Mr. Pope on her back makes me queezy .

A final indication that the Houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the Houynhms visits Lilliput, where he visits the French Royal Society. He goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at Gallilee). The scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the Houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "The creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. Slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" .

Was reading the big fish’s smell of blood is smelled by one crowd of shark fish, struggled swims snatches the food, old person’s left hand happen to in the convulsions, he only could use the right hand, with wooden stick， the mouth and so on all was allowed to use for the weapon self-defense which attacked, and finally expelled this crowd of shark fish. But the big fish’s meat was already eaten one most, but the old person also charmingly criticized oneself the left hand " this work time actually was resting " time, I also was subdued by the old person optimistic spirit. In the life, some losses are inevitable, we should treat by the optimistic manner, cannot be calculating.

Finally, the novel sees by one youth the senior fisherman fully has 18 foot long big marlin in the measure, once more described this fish’s hugeness, explained senior fisherman overcomes the difficulty was big, non- was more common than.

The novel eulogized the spirit which the senior fisherman fear hard and dangerous diligently did not struggle, we also should like his such, could not satisfy the present situation, should positively to above, do any matter all is relentless, meets difficultly must welcome difficultly above, could give up halfway in no way. Only has this, we only then can obtain a bigger success and the victory.

《老人与海》，当听到这几个字的时候，也许时下大多数的年轻人都会想起那首流行歌曲，能有少数人看过这本名著？好奇的我打开电脑从网上查看了许多关于《老人与海》的视频，渔夫感动了我，激励了我。于是，我来到书店买了这本书，因为我相信只有原著才能更好的诠释这个故事；才能让我细细体味作者所要表达的内容。

不知用了多长的时间，我终于把这本书看完了。

《老人与海》，美国作家海明威著。《老人与海》是海明威的代表作，也是一部象征性的小说。“一艘船越过世界的尽头，驶向未知的大海，船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜，旗帜上，舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光——超越极限！”这是作者海明威自己这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。

《老人与海》的故事很简单，它讲的是老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续84天没捕到鱼的情况下，终于独自钓上了一条大马林鱼，但这鱼实在太大了，把他的小船在海上拖了两天两夜才筋疲力尽的被他杀死，绑在小船的一边。但在归程中遇到鲨鱼的袭击，于是老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，但最后回港时只剩下鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。虽然老渔夫没有把完整的马林鱼拖回海岸，虽然在别人眼里他仍是失败的，但是实际上他是成功的。因为他这种坚持不懈，自信的精神值得我们学习。

当书中写到：“老渔夫想：这里离海岸实在太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼”时，我不禁有感而发：虽然老渔夫已经捕到了一些鱼，但他并没有安于现状，而是有着更远大的目标。而我们呢？取得了一点点成绩就沾沾自喜，得意忘形，停止前进，这怎么会成功呢？老渔夫在84次的失败后，在第85次时捕到了大鱼，他尝试到了成功的喜悦。他让我们真正的了解了“失败是成功之母”这句话的含义。

没有谁的人生是一帆风顺的，没有谁不经历失败而成就辉煌的。我们要学习书中老人说的话：“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的”，“人尽可以被毁灭，但却不能被打败。”我们要正视失败，不能屈服，要勇敢的去面对和挑战，那我们将会成为下一个胜利者！

永不言败，这就是《老人与海》告诉我们的。

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .

Read "the old man and the sea" this article, I could not help secretly for Hemingways masterpiece. Image lifelike the story describes how an old man with a firm belief deftly will be a big fish to his humble, and how to get rid of "invasion of the enemy" -- a shark. Although he failed to bring the whole fish back, but his spirit is worth our learning: people must have the self-confidence, he will say to yourself "I can do it!" . You think about it, if the old man caught a fish, 7, 8 times more than himself he saw was afraid, put the fish, he can put the fish back to Hong Kong? No, no, he relies on ordinary people to accept such determination, to catch the big fish.

In our class, there is learning of poor students, they are lack of confidence to oneself, plus others ironic, then, they have no interest in learning, thus make grades decline gradually, falling...

Now the society developed, if can clone the self-confidence, that I must have a clone, send it to lack of confidence friend!

读了《老人与海》这篇文章，我不禁暗暗为海明威的巨作叫好。这个故事形象逼真的描写了一个老人是怎样靠着坚定的信念灵巧地将一头大鱼捕到自己那简陋的船上，又是怎样赶走“来犯之敌”――鲨鱼。虽然他没能将整条鱼运回去，但他的精神值得我们学习：人要有自信心，遇事要对自己说“我能行!”。大家想一想，如果这位老人钓到了一条比自己大上7，8倍的鱼，他见了就害怕，把鱼放了，那他能将鱼运回来为自己争光吗?不，不能，他正是靠着这样常人难以接受决心，才能捕到这条大鱼。

在我们班上，有学习差的同学，他们就是对自己信心不足，再加上旁人的讽刺，这时，他们对学习毫无兴趣，从而使学习成绩逐步下降，下降……

现在的社会发达了，如果能克隆自信心的话，那我一定克隆一份，将它送给信心不足的朋友!

我读完了《老人与海》这本小说，满心便是对老人那种永不言败、不屈不挠的精神所感动、所折服、所震颤。因为老人那朴实的形象，因为老人是那可敬的劳动者。

文中介绍了一位老人常年独自一人在海上打鱼。那一天，他钓到了一条大鱼，这使他满心愉快。但是在回家的路上，他却遇到了鲨鱼，老人使出浑身解数与鲨鱼拼搏，鲨鱼把能吃的鱼肉都吃了，结果那条大鱼被鲨鱼吃的还只剩下不到一半，老人就把那条鱼拉会家里。

书读完了，让我感动的是老人那一句普通的话语：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你尽可以消灭他，却不能打败他”。从这句普通的话可以透出老人是没有被任何困难所压服，尽自己最大的努力与生活中各种各样的磨难做不能退缩的战争。老人是那样的朴实无华，他并没有抱怨上帝对他如此的不公，只是用自己剩下的光阴来实现自己的梦想：打一条大鱼。这次他成功了，他终于成功的打到了一条大鱼!这条大鱼来得是多么不容易呀!是老人经过千辛万苦才拖回家来的。

读完了这篇小说，我们能看到作者再这个故事上做了细致的描写，可以更能体现出老人那苍老的样子，更能体现出一个老人那永不言败的精神，从故事的开始贯穿到故事的结尾。因为老人的这种精神都在感动并激励我们读者要像老人桑提阿果爷爷这一位普通有可敬的劳动者学习。

从小学开始，我便喜欢看驰名世界的美国作家海明威的作品。在他的作品中，使我最为震撼的非《老人与海》莫属了。

《老人与海》的故事十分简单：老人圣地亚歌在连续84天没有捕到一条鱼，但他毫不放弃，第85天他再次出海，几经辛苦终于捕到了一条比他的渔船还大很多的马林鱼，可是在折返渔港的途中，却不断被凶残的鲨鱼袭击。已疲惫不堪的老人又顽强地与鲨鱼搏斗……当他回到海港时，那硕大的马林鱼已仅剩一副空空的骨架！

故事的结局是哀伤的，那是一个在失败和挫折面前绝不低头、不气馁、坚韧不拔的老人，在付出了极大的精力、心血之后，却不能品偿到成功的喜悦的悲伤结局，但我并不觉得老人有任何的悲伤。

老人在捕获马林鱼，与鲨鱼搏斗的时候，虽然不断祈求上帝保佑自己，但那只是求得心灵的慰藉而己。他从没有放弃过一点希望，从没有放弃过一次机会，没有半句怨言，心中只朝着那一个坚定不移的目标奋不顾身地奔去。即使他最后的结局是失败的，但他在这一搏斗的过程，却得到了无数的别人梦寐以求的果实——智慧、经验、力量、勇气……

可以说，老人最终是失败了，但在这一过程中，他获得的比失去的更多。

所以呀，因为考不上大学就轻生的学生们、因为生意失败而自暴自弃的商人们、因为找不到工作而灰心丧意而自甘落后的都市人们，你们的轻生、你们的自暴自弃、你们的灰心丧意、你们的自甘落后实在是太没价值了！

你们为何不细心想想，为了达到你心目中的某一理想或目标，你们拼搏进取，你们努力奋斗，那是多么的意气风发啊！在你们追求的过程中，你们付出了多少的时间、汗水与精力，要解决多少的难题，要运用多少的智慧！那么，试问，你们又何曾失败过呢？你们已经赢得了过程，那比成功还要辉煌的过程！

人们啊，不要过于执着结果了！结果只是稍逊即逝的鲜花而已，过程才是真真实实的果实呀！让我们和《老人与海》中的老人一样，不论结果怎样，让我们为过程而拼搏，为过程而努力，为过程而奋斗吧！

享受过程，才是生活的真谛！

《雾都孤儿》揭露许多当时的社会问题，如救济院、童工、以及帮派吸收青少年参与犯罪等。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感，希望对你有帮助。

Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in 18th century.

The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to expose the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.

The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of poverty and crime. He suffered enormous pain, such as hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of the little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I felt for the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered devil and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me most is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs. Maylie and Rose and began a new life. He went for walks with them, or Rose read to him, and he worked hard at his lessons. He felt as if he had left behind forever the world of crime and hardship and poverty.

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens—he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I dont think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

For me, the nature of goodness is one of the most necessary character for a person. Goodness is to humans what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly worthless person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose, he who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do good to both the people he has helped and himself.

To my disappointment, nowadays some people seem to doubt the existence of the goodness in humanity. They look down on peoples honesty and kindness, thinking it foolish of people to be warm-hearted. As a result, they show no sympathy to those who are in trouble and seldom offer to help others. On the other hand, they attach importance to money and benefit. In their opinion, money is the only real object while emotions and morality are nihility. If they cannot get profit from showing theirkindness, they draw back when others are faced with trouble and even hit a man when he is down. They are one of the sorts that I really detest.

Francis Bacon said in his essay, Goodness, of all virtues and dignities of the mind, is the greatest, being the character of the Deity, and without it, man is a busy, mischievous, wretched thing, no better than a kind of vermin.

That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell thosevermin-to-beto learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

老人圣地亚哥是一位老渔民，老人与海就讲述了他在连续八十四天都没有捕到一条鱼的情况下，终于独自一人钓上了一条大马林鱼，但这条鱼庞大的像一座山丘，所以将老渔民圣地亚哥的小渔船整整拖了几天几夜叉筋疲力尽，被老人杀死绑在了小船的一头。老人返航的时候却遇到了鲨鱼，他应用的抵抗鲨鱼的攻击。可最后回到港湾的时候，大鱼只剩下鱼头、鱼尾和一条脊骨。

这篇小说描写了老人在中亚紫霞仍保持着优雅的风度。作者这样写突出了老人威严冷静的性格特点，就像我们小学五年级的一篇课文《桥》中的老支书一样。面对鲨鱼的攻击，老人并没有吓呆了，而是沉着的应对鲨鱼疯狂的攻击才保住了自己的性命。如果老人并没有沉着的应对鲨鱼的攻击，那老人将会一无所有（宝货老人的生命）这篇小说主要告诉我名字一个人应用有的最宝贵的精神—人可以被毁灭，却不可以被打败。圣地亚哥也因此而成为了文学史上最着名的“硬汉”之一

所以在生活上我们要学习老渔民圣地亚哥的品格与精神，才能成为对住过有用的人。

最近在读一本已经享誉很久的国际著作《老人与海》，这是部不长的小说，在海明威的笔下，在寥寥数语之间，一个简简单单的故事却如此令人无限感慨。

这本书初读时记得还是初中时，年幼时仅仅是认为故事情节刺激：古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼，被别的渔夫看作失败者，可是他坚持不懈，终于钓到了一条大马林鱼，又经历了于数条鲨鱼的搏斗……而过了这么多年再读这本书，感慨颇深。

受到其他渔民的讥讽，整整八十四天没捕到鱼，辛辛苦苦得来的鱼被鲨鱼吃了个精光……面对人和自然的重重打击，老人却依然能坚守自我的一方净土，还可以喊出“人不是生来就被打败的”的豪言壮语，这又是如何的无畏与凛然!但是,不可否认的是，从物质上来看，这位老人是位彻彻底底的失败者，他失去了武器，失去了战利品，还险些失去生命。然而，从精神层面来说，老人又何尝不是一个胜利者呢?纵使老人一次次失败，他从没有绝望过，那份淡定，平息了一切波涛。老渔夫，虽然老了，倒霉、失败;但他仍旧坚持努力，而能在失败的风度上嬴得胜利。他失去了所有努力的成果，但他没有失去的，是一颗勇于抗争的心。

这部小说表现了一种奋斗的人生观，即使面对的是不可征服的大自然，但人仍然可以得到精神上的胜利。也许结果是失败的，但在奋斗的过程中，我们可以看到一个人如何成为一个顶天立地的大丈夫。可以说他的失败比成功更加令人赞叹，他付出了，他拼搏了，他竭尽全力了，这比他的成功更加值得铭记。而作为新时代希望的我们，作为祖国未来的期望的我们，却常常在困难面前低头。无论是学业的困难，还是与同学师长的关系，都可以轻易地让我们束手无策。不想尝试只想得来全不费功夫，不想争取只想坐享其成，这与新时代的我们应有的形象大相径庭。

“两弹元勋”邓稼先突破重重困难回到祖国，面对极差的工作条件，极其落后的科研设备，他咬牙放弃妻子儿女，带着团队隐姓埋名，终于成就了中国的原子弹，让中国甩去了“东亚病夫”的帽子。短短六余载，却让邓稼先黑发变白发。可是，他从未说过一个“累”字，因为，他有着圣地亚哥般的意志和精神，他的眼里没有艰难的环境，他的心里没有自己，只有一颗赤子雄心在熊熊燃烧，只有一个不言败的信念在黑夜中为他照明方向。而观古往今来，中国从来就没有缺过不言放弃的人。古有司马迁遭受宫刑愤作《史记》，有范仲淹“划粥断荠”，今有马云为梦奋斗，有终南山院士为击败病毒抗争。他们都是现代圣地亚哥的精神的代表，都是我们青少年值得学习的光辉典范。

《老人与海》中有句名言：“一艘船越过世界的尽头，驶向未知的大海，船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜，旗帜上，舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光一一超越极狠!”对于新时代的我们来说，未来的“大海”不要太广阔，我们面对困难还有什么理由束手无措、坐以待毙?古人云：“人生能有几回搏，此时不搏何时搏。”《老人与海》也说“一个人并不是生来要给打败的，你尽可把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他。”人生本来就是一种无止境的追求。它的道路漫长、艰难，而且充满坎坷，但只要自己勇敢顽强地以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战，他将永远是个真正的胜利者。从老人的身上，我们不难看出海明威想要传达给我们的那种灵魂的尊严。

读完《老人与海》，我的心久久不能平静。

八十四个日日夜夜，老渔夫圣地亚哥在海上什么也没有捕到，其他的渔民都嘲笑他，说他是一个失败者。于是第二天，他坚定信念，到大家都不敢去的深海捕鱼。他和一只大马林鱼搏斗了三天三夜，终于将它捕获。当他踏上归途时，却遇到了一只鲨鱼，奋力抵抗了多日，才脱离险境。可鱼肉在搏斗中被撕扯，只剩下一具硕大的鱼骨。

八十四天，一无所获，是寂寞的，难熬的。经历这么大的磨难，挫折和嘲笑，老渔夫仍然挺了过来，坚定自己的信念，坚持着自己的初衷，勇敢地向深海进发。

深海中的一只大马林鱼，既是猎物，又随时可能转变为猎人。他没有畏惧也没有退缩，勇敢地去与之搏斗。三天三夜，任是精力多么旺盛的人，也会被耗得精疲力竭，可他靠着坚韧的意志，坚持下来并取得了胜利。

最后与鲨鱼的搏杀，尽管结局不那么美好——鱼只剩下了骨架。可在这一次次的搏斗中，老渔夫收获到了永不放弃的信念，执着向前的坚持，逆境中不服输的精神，勇敢与困难作斗争的拼搏和坚韧的意志。这些已经远远大于了一只鱼的价值。因为有了这些品质和精神，在今后的生活中，不管遇到什么，问题都会迎刃而解。他从一次次磨难中，明白了成长的真谛。

生活更是如此，只有经历磨难，才能从中吸取经验和教训，获得成长。只有积极乐观地去面对它们，才能不被其所阻。困难面前的我们十分渺小，但我们可以努力让自己变得强大。

一本好书，值得去细细品读，从中有所感，有所悟。

《老人与海》是美国著名作家欧内斯特·海明威的代表作。小说讲述了一个叫桑提亚哥的老渔夫独自出海，与一条大鱼和一群鲨鱼搏斗了两天两夜的故事。它塑造了“桑提亚哥”这个令人敬佩的硬汉形象，赞扬了他面对困难百折不挠的拼搏精神。小说语言简洁，情节激动人心，洋溢着英雄主义精神，深深吸引着世界各国的读者。

《老人与海》描述细节的技巧将读者拉进真实的情境，那里有大海、老人、小船、飞鱼、海鸟、大枪鱼、鲨鱼等等，这些生动、准确、鲜活的描写呈现给读者的仿佛是一次海上捕鱼经历的实录，真实可信，扣人心弦。

《老人与海》通过对老渔夫与大枪鱼、鲨鱼和大海的搏斗以及大量的内心表白，表达了作者对人与自然关系的深层思考：自然法则是人类力量不可抗拒的，我们崇尚人对自然不屈不挠的斗争，也要崇尚人与自然的和谐相处。

After reading "A tale of two cities"

"A tale of two cities" is one of Dickenss most important representative works.The novel profoundly exposed the society contradiction before the French Revolution,intensely attacks the aristocratic social class is dissolute and cruel,and sincerely sympathizes with the depressed classes.The novel also described many magnificent scenes like the revolt people attacked Bastille and so on,which displayed peoples great strength.

The novel has portrayed many different people. Doctor Manette is honest and kind but suffers the persecution actually ， Lucie is beautiful and gentle ，Charles is graceful and noble，Lorry is upright and honest ，Sydney is semblance of indifferent, innermost feelings of warm,unconventional but also selfless and lofty，Miss Pross is straightforward and loyal，Evremonde brothers are cruel and sinister......The complex hatred is hard to solve, the cruel revenge has made more hatreds, loves rebirth in the hell edge,but take the life as the price.

As an outstanding writer,in Dickenss work,the language skill is essential.Each kind of rhetoric technique,like the analogy,the exaggeration,the contrast,the humorous,and the taunt are handled skillfully,and the artistry of the work is also delivered the peak."A tale of two cities" has its difference with the general historical novel, its character and the main plot are all fictionalizes.With the broad real background of the French Revolution,the author take the fictional character Doctor Manettes experience as the main clue,interweaves the unjust charge, love and revenge three independences but also incident cross-correlation stories together,the plot is criss-crossed,and the clue is complex.The author use insert narrates,foreshadowing,upholstery and so many techniques,causes the structure integrity and strictness,the plot winding anxious and rich of theatrical nature,it displayed the remarkable artistic skill.the style "A tale of two cities" is solemnity and melancholy,fills indignantion,but lacks the humor of the early works.
