最近读了法国著名作家小仲马的代表作:《茶花女》,连读两遍,意悠未尽。我被书中男女主人公的爱情故事而感动,读到伤心之处,未免掉泪。

Recently read on behalf of the famous French writer Alexandre Dumass work: "La Traviata", read two times, will you not. I was touched by the book of love stories, read the sad place, it tears.

现代人都想得到真挚的爱情,都想得到异性的真爱,也时刻在讨论什么是爱?是否有真正的爱情?《茶花女》给了我们一个正确的答案:男女之间的情爱,是一种奉献、是一种给予、是一种忠诚,是牺牲、是无私,不是索取,更不是骗取;真心实意的为对方着想,为对方去做事任可牺牲自己的一切,能使对方幸福做为自己最大的快乐和满足。

The modern people want to get true love, want to get specific moments in the discussion of love, but also what is love? If there is true love? "La Traviata" gives us a correct answer: between men and women in love, is a kind of dedication, is a given, is a kind of loyalty, sacrifice, selfless, not to take, but not to cheat; have a genuine and sincere desire for the sake of each other, each other to do any sacrifice everything, can to make each other happy as his greatest pleasure and satisfaction.

我想每个人在通读小说,在为男女主人公悲欢离合而高兴、而担心、而落泪的同时,检讨一下自己在情感方面的得与失,才能更加珍惜自己的爱情,善待亲情和友情。

I think everyone to read novels, and happy, in grief at separation and joy in Union for the hero and heroine and worry, and tears at the same time, to review their own in the emotional aspects of the gain and loss, to cherish their love, treat affection and friendship.

人们普遍认为《简·爱》是夏洛蒂·勃朗特“诗意的生平写照”,是一部具有自传色彩的作品。下面是语文迷网整理的简爱英文读后感范文,供大家参考选择。

篇1:《简爱》英文读后感

Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:

We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.

We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.

We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…

When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.

Actually, she wasn’t pretty, and of course, the ordinary appearance didn’t make others feel good of her, even her own aunt felt disgusted with it. And some others even thought that she was easy to look down on and to tease, so when Miss Ingram met Jane Eyre, she seemed quite contemptuous, for that she was obviously much more prettier than ‘the plain and ugly governess’. But as the little governess had said: ‘Do you think, because I am poor, obscure, plain, and little, I am soulless and heartless? You think wrong!’ This is the idea of equality in Jane Eyre’s mind. God hadn’t given her beauty and wealth, but instead, God gave her a kind mind and a thinking brain. Her idea of equality and self-respect impress us so much and let us feel the power inside her body.

In my mind, though a person’s beauty on the face can make others once feel that one is attractive and charming, if his or her mind isn’t the same beautiful as the appearance, such as beauty cannot last for, when others find that the beauty which had charmed them was only a falsity, it’s not true, they will like the person no more. For a long time, only a person’s great virtue, a noble soul, a beautiful heart can be called as AN EVERLASTING BEAUTY, just as Kahill Gibran has said, that ‘Beauty is a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted’. I can feel that how beauty really is, as we are all fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but fleshly men, so we can’t distinguish whether a man is of nobleness or humbleness, but as there are great differences in our souls, and from that, we can know that whether a man is noble or ordinary, and even obscure, that is, whether he is beautiful or not.

Her story makes us thinking about life and we learn much from her experience, at least, that is a fresh new recognition of the real beauty.

篇2:《简爱》英文读后感

I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them...and theirs is a love story for the ages.

Charlotte Brontes first published novel,www.99zuowen.com, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result. Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Janes need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.

All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Janes questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.

Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.

For You, a Thousand Times over

I am convinced that few books are as good as this one. To be honest, I hadn’t maintained that this book would appeal me before I read it. However, I was absorbed in the book from the first chapter to the last one. Why this book has appealed to me that much? I asked myself. This book is not my type of reading for only romantic books could draw my attention successfully. Then I came into a conclusion that it is the friendship and familyship fascinated me.

To the world you are one person, but to the person who loves you, you are the world. Amir was Hassan’s world. Amir’s name had been the first word Hassan spoke. Hassan threatened brutal Assef for the sake of Amir. Hassan never failed to run the kite to please Amir. Hassan sacrificed himself for Amir’s house. These are more than a friend would do. Only those who loves you so much could challenge himself to do what Hassan did to Amir.To Hassan, Amir was not only a mere friend but a brother. He loved Amir more than anything else. Even after Amir betrayed him, he still told his son proudly“Agan Amir is my best friend”.Maybe for Hassan “for you, a thousand times over” has another meaning, which is not just kite running for Amir but he will do anything for Amir.

If Hassan could be described as an angel, then Amir was just a person. I did hate Amir for he watched Hassan be raped and did nothing, for he made Hassan leave his born-place, for he aimed Hassan with fruit(even though he actually tried to make himself get punished). Amir didn’t deserve what Hassan did to him. I thought his meanness caused Hassan’s tragedy. But after I finished the book, I realized it is not Hassan’s tragedy, it is Amir’s. For what he had done to Hassan, he had led a live with regret and suffered endless sleepless nights. His going back to Afghanistan is not only a journey physically but a journey to atonement. Hassan’s son, his nephew saved, Amir’s sin was finally washed. Like the life of circle, Amir ran kite for his miserable nephew.As Hassan did to him, he said “for you , a thousand times over” to Sohrab.Though the book doesn’t give us an accurate ending whether Sohrab came into life again. I am sure love can cure everything. Only when Sohrab lives a happy life as Hassan hoped can Amir’s sin washed up.

The friendship between Hassan and Amir moved me. I believe All the people who read it is going to be touched just as I am. This book does make me think the good and the bad ,what’s wrong and what’s right, the cruelty of war . Few books can exert an influence on people nowadays, this book sure does.

Mark Twains short story of "one million pounds" is a very good work. The article on the "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," the idea of a satire, to expose the ugly face of capitalist society.

The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other peoples doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad.

Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on!

See here, I am so envious of the "lucky" the heroine, but at the same time I would like to: people reason to curry favor with him, not just because when people value money too it? Worship of money is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, the world than money, there are many more important things.

Author: Antoine de St-Exupery

Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.

Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.

As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.

篇7:《36天,我的美国教育之旅》读后感作文

+ 加入清单

近日有幸读了《36天,我的美国教育之旅》一书,作者李希贵是山东省淮坊市教育局局长,其人是从一线教师一步一步走上来的。正是因为如此,他很善于从一线的课堂和教师、学生等方面入手开展常态下的学校、课堂。应该说本书没有深奥的理论和枯燥的高调,有的只是作为一个教育的思考者每天日记式的真实感受,不掩饰、不做作、不奉承、不盖瑕,直抒胸臆,记录当时真实的感受和反思,对于我们老师就是真实的、可接受的。

本文是通过36天的研究,与美国哥伦比亚大学的教授和纽约的中小学教师一起,通过对常态课堂教学中的“关键教学事件”进行点评和分析,启发教师们自我反思,并以此构建一个教师培训的模式。在不同的文化背景下的课堂听课,自然天差地别。

“给学生一些犯错误的机会”一文指出“五花八门”的结论本身就是教学资源,错误的回答更应该成为师生共同解决问题的跳板,让学生更多地暴露一些他们原本就应该有的“美丽”的错误。值得我们老师深思,现在有多少公开课是追求完美无瑕,如同一个个模具,丝毫不会有错,也不给学生机会犯错,这样的课堂有何意义,师生折腾又折腾,上给谁看呢?

“说得实在,才能做得实在”一文指出,美国的课堂评估表虽然有二十几项内容,但大都是实实在在的具体要求,可操作性非常强,可以照着做。又如中小学生守则的要求对比,也是让人感到美国的更加实在,都是可以见诸行动的细节,要求非常具体明确。而我们的守则却是有点“好高骛远”境界高了点,超出了小学生应具有的思想水平和领悟能力,是需要好好思量一下了。到底什么该修,什么该继承值得深思。

Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overes Rabbi Banish of Komarov, who, having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied, manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca, his beloved youngest daughter, is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation, forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to prehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.

A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes, unclean food, and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi, they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish, whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision, Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death, when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.

While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith, they e too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality, let along of salvation, attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses, and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason, relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few, release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present, living and dead.

These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship, they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.

As the only living things on a bare planet called “Just Like Home”, humans felt lonely and sad. In order to live, they must get married as often as possible and have children. Unwilling to get married, our 16-year-old protagonist named Humming Bird ran away from her planet and found a plastic space ship. There she met various kinds of animals, which frightened her even drove her crazy. She had never seen such things before. Only through ‘The Book Of Remembering’ did she get some rough idea of animals. After she took a small-copied cat home and showed it to the officials on her planet, the cat was shot to death and all the officials went crazy. Humming Brid didn’t give up her attempt to let people accept the animals. She decided to set about the job from children…

That’s the brief plot of Harry Gilbert’s science fiction—。 Based on the reality of increasing environmental problems, the writer uses his full imagination and creativity to produce this vivid imaginative and thought-provoking story.

As far as we know, animal numbers are now diminishing all over the world every years, and the living conditions we depend on a getting worse. We dirty the air with gases and smoke, poison the water with chemicals and other substances and damage the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. We also pollute our surroundings in many other ways. Air, water and soil are all very important and necessary to the survival of all living things all over the world. If we human don’t pay more attention to that, there will come a day when we have to live the kind of life described in this novel. As we know, the world is made up not only of human beings but also a lot of other living things. If we don’t want to leave this perfect planet, we have to protect the environment; otherwise, without the company of other living things, people would only be half-alive, men only half-men.

Nowadays, I should say, people have realized the importance of environmental protection and ecological balance. Slogans that remind us to save water and electricity are stuck everywhere, but how many are treated as requirements or duties and not just a piece of paper. If we pay a little attention to our working and study places, we always find some taps half opened with running water, and large numbers of people get used to leave lights on during the day. Dustbins for both recycled and unredeemable rubbish are placed in high density but no one bothers to throw the rubbish into the right dustbins. Nor do they even know what kind of rubbish could be recycled and what kind could not.

Conservation centers for protecting animals are built in many countries. Our government also passed some acts to protect animals; however, there do exist some law-breakers who are driven by money. We plant trees very year, but no one bothers to water and care for them after planting them. For money, some farmers drive their sheep and cattle to grasslands and charge it into desert.

All in all, to every one, I want to say, “Living on this wonderful planet earth, we are lucky and happy. In order to enjoy this kind of wonderful life, we must care for mother earth and put this kind of care into practice.”

Facing the world, to be or not to be, it’s up to you. We must make a choice without any hesitation!

Today I have read Helen Keller’s “Three Days to See”.I have read this article in the chinese teaching material when I was in high school.This article impressed me.It told me how lucky we are.We should aprrecaite that we are healthy.Healthiness is riches.So today I read this article again.Whenever I read this article,compare with Helen Keller,I think we should treasure our life,god has given us sight so we can see a lot of good things,so we can know how beautiful this world is,so we can know how wonderful we can live in our coloreful life.

Helen Keller,blind and deaf from infancy.Stricken with a serious illness at the age of nineteen months,Keller survived from the illness but was left permanently unable to see and hear.In this article,three day of sight,we can see,how precious it was as for Helen Keller.What would you want to look at if you had only three days of sight?Helen gives her answer in this famous essay.I always think that people can realize the importance of the sight and sound only after they have personally expericenced the dark and silence life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight,silence would teach him the joys of sound.

This short story tell people how Keller take advantage of having the privileges to see,hear,and speak.Some people,unfortunately,are blind,deaf,and mute.These unfortunate people take more time to appreciate life and they are always waiting for the miracle all their life.The author,Helen Keller,is one of such person who is blind,deaf,and mute.She strongly believes that people,who are fortunate to have such senses,take life for granted.She also strongly believes these people should live in the fullest,meaning,accomplish lifes when they can do this today,do not leave it for tomorrow.

One can die at any moment,no matter how healthy or in what physical shape he is.As for this,Helen came across many instances.She had asked her friend what she had seen after taking a walk through the woods,and her friend replied,“Nothing in particular.” Her friend gave she this answer,because her friend become accustomed to see the routine of their surroundings,and her eyes only can be attracted by startling and spectacular things.I think if we only have sight for 3 days we will give another answer.

I appreciate Hellen Keller.Her life is a miracle,she stronly face the difficulties which can detroy one’s mind of living.Her life is a tragedy,but the world in her heart is full of love.Her spirit will encourage all of us,forever.

一个简单的故事,一个平凡的老人,一条普通的大马林鱼,在茫茫大海上发生了看似平凡而又不平凡的经历。

这本书讲了古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫,独自一个人出海打鱼,在一无所获的84天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大,拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜,老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验,终于把大鱼刺死,拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼,老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗,结果大马林鱼被鲨鱼吃光了,老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。

读完这篇小说,我发现,老人的故事不仅象征着人与自然的关系,而且象征着整个人类坚不可摧的精神。在现实中,他虽然失败了,但在精神上,他却是胜利者。在这里,老人不仅仅是代表着一个人,而是代表了一股力量,一种精神,那是让人敬佩的坚韧不拔,永不服输的精神。我也十分佩服小说中老渔夫的意志,他让我懂得了一个人一定要坚强,不能遇到一点挫折就败退,这样永远也做不成一件事。

导语:《达·芬奇密码》小说集合了侦探,惊悚和阴谋论等多种风格,并激起了大众对某些宗教理论的普遍兴趣。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语读后感,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

Informal feedbacks and opinions about “The Da Vinci Code”

Okay, at first I have to admit that “The Da Vinci Code” is an amazing book. When I read in mid-parts, sometimes I just wanna to ask, “Okay, okay, what is happening?” It is a horrible period to let an eastern person to understand western religions in sudden. And so, this book basically is in love with the western religion issues.

Honestly, the author is a genius that he organizes plots and conflicts so dramatically and delicately. It’s like a gift. Reading the book is taking a roller coaster, and even worse, your eyes are forced to be close, the world is full of empty black and you got no idea what the railway go next. Everybody seems like suspect. There is absolutely an organization that was killing people and tried to hide something, which is the secret truth. Langdon knows that. Langdon figured the secret organization--priory of Sion at last, and it shows everything is related, the death of Saunière led Langdon all the way to Rossiyn Chapel, with finding “the rose line” the first prime meridian (RGO) that located France, Paris, Louvre. Where the story ends.

I can not understand that why the followers of Christianity and Catholicism would ever think that pain is good for people and human kind is meant to be guilty because they make the “God” or “Guesses Christ” mad or hurt. Actually I am a real big fan of Christopher Hitches, so now you see. The keystones are in great demand. Everybody wants them, and the truth behind of the keystones. They are delish. Christianity and Catholicism want it because it tells where the secret documents that could destroy the religion is. Where the San-greal is. Dramatically, San-greal is not a real cup, but a woman. Mary Magdalene. Mary Magdalene was legend by the wife of Guesses, who born the true blood of royal (Guesses Christ). The conflict only have one aim that are the keystones and behind of them, which is the San-greal. The plot descripts different personality well, and discovers the characteristics behind different force that was struggling the San-greal distinctly. In order to understand what is happening, and what are the symbols, characters, numbers really mean, and understand why the followers of the religion will be so obsessed, the reader have to place himself in the version of a total western guy, or a follower. Because of the different believe probably, I could not comprehend some of the strange behaviors (I mean they are weirdoes) that author described in story, but as a horror plus suspense fiction, I think “The Da Vinci Code” is better then “Sherlock Homes”.

I quite enjoy the reading, and thanks for the ones that borrow the book to me.

“达文西密码”的非正式反馈与意见

首先,我必须承认“达文西密码”是一本了不起的书。当我在中间阅读时,有时我只想问:“好吧,发生了什么事?“让东方人突然了解西方宗教是一段可怕的时期。所以,这本书基本上是爱上了西方宗教问题。

老实说,作者是一个天才,他组织情节和冲突如此戏剧性和微妙。这就像一个礼物。读这本书是坐过山车,更糟糕的是,你的眼睛被迫关闭,世界充满了空黑色,你不知道什么是铁路去下一步。每个人似乎都怀疑。绝对有一个组织在杀害人们,试图隐藏一些东西,这就是秘密的真相。兰登知道。兰登认为,秘密组织——锡安隐修会在最后,它表明一切都是相关的,对sauniè重新死亡导致兰登一直到Rossiyn Chapel,找到“玫瑰线”第一本初子午线(RGO),位于法国,巴黎,Louvre。故事结束的地方。

我不明白为什么基督教和天主教的信徒会认为痛苦是对人有益的,而人类是注定有罪的,因为他们使“上帝”或“猜测基督”疯狂或伤害。其实我是一个真正的Christopher Hitches的球迷,所以现在你看到的。重点是需求量很大。每个人都希望他们背后的真相,并重点。他们是美味。基督教和天主教希望它,因为它告诉的秘密文件,可以破坏宗教是。在三真是。戏剧性的是,三大是不是一个真正的杯,但一个女人。Mary Magdalene。Mary Magdalene是传说的猜测妻子,谁出生的皇家皇家血(猜测基督)。冲突的目标只有一个,为重点,在他们的背后,是三大。剧情描述了不同的个性,不同的特点,找出背后的力量,挣扎着的三大明显。为了了解发生了什么,什么是符号,人物,数字真的意味着,并理解为什么信徒的宗教将如此痴迷,读者必须把自己在版本的总西方家伙,或追随者。因为不同的相信,我不能理解一些奇怪的行为(我的意思是他们是怪物),作者描述的故事,但作为一个恐怖加悬疑小说,我认为“达文西密码”比“家园”。

我很喜欢阅读,感谢那些借我的书。

篇18:美国宪政历程读后感

全文共 4477 字

+ 加入清单

美国的政治体制中,最高法院的核心职责是通过审查涉及宪法解释的案件,来判定联邦或州议会的某项法律或者联邦或州政府的某种行为是否违宪。因具有这一强大的司法审查权,最高法院在美国的政治制度中发挥了至关重要的作用,甚至可以说是成了民众与政府之间、各级政府之间以及政府各部门之间争议的最终裁决者。休斯大法官在1907年一次演讲中的某句说辞很好地诠释了这种状态:“Weare under a Constitution,but the Constitution is what the judges say it is。”

然而美国的最高法院一开始也并不是像现在这么强大。最高法院成立之初,华盛顿任命了六位大法官,实到的只有四位。第一任首席大法官是约翰·杰伊,也就是与麦迪逊、汉密尔顿联手撰写《联邦党人文集》的那位,在这个职位上工作了六年后他选择辞职,五年后,约翰·亚当斯总统请他重新担任大法官,他拒绝了总统的好意,并说了这样一段话:

“为司法部门不断争取一个合适地位的种种努力,业已证实是徒劳无功的。我实实在在地相信,在一种有如此缺陷的制度下,最高法院既没有一种必不可少的活力、分量和尊严,使其能够支持联邦政府,也不拥有它应该获得的、公众把它视为国家正义的最终保护者的那种信任和尊重。”

这种情况的成因在于美国宪法第三条对最高法院权限的规定十分笼统,只有短短三款,远不及对议会和政府规定的那样详尽,而且,最关键的是,美国宪法当时并没有指明最高法院拥有司法审查权。此时的最高法院就像汉密尔顿评论的那样:“司法部门既无军权,又无财权,不能支配社会力量与财富,不能采取任何主动行动……分立的三权中最弱的一个”。

然而马歇尔大法官在马伯里诉麦迪逊一案中,通过判决成功地向国家立法机构宣布,不仅宪法高于一切法律,而且判定法律是否违宪与立法机构无关,只有最高法院才是一切与宪法有关法律问题的最终裁判机构;向国家行政机构宣布,宪法的最终解释权属于司法部门,司法部门有权判定行政当局的行为和命令是否违宪。这样,最高法院拥有了司法审查权,在某种意义上甚至可以说是“最终立法权”。

不过马歇尔更加值得称道的是其背后的政治意识。马伯里诉麦迪逊案的背景实际上是民主共和党与联邦党二党之争,联邦党本来占有着立法、行政和司法三个部门的领导地位,但在1800年的总统选举和国会选举中一败涂地,让民主共和党控制了立法与行政部门,手上只剩下了司法部门。通过司法部门获取权力,就成了联邦党人的救命稻草一般,而这时马歇尔恰恰做到了这一点,即让最高法院获得了可以通过司法审查否决国会立法和总统行政行为的权力。此时民主共和党的领袖杰弗逊非常担心,“宪法欲使政府各协作部门之间相互制衡。但是,如果授权法官决定法律是否违反宪法,使法官不仅在司法部门的地盘自行其是,而且还在立法和执法部门的行动范围独断专行,那将使司法部门成为一个专制暴虐的机构”。尽管杰弗逊忧心忡忡,但出乎他意料之外的是,在马歇尔大法官的领导下,联邦最高法院自我约束,见好就收,并没有单纯从党派利益出发,凭借司法审查权与国会、总统拼个鱼死网破,频繁地否决新国会的立法,使最高法院成为“专制暴虐的机构”。在马伯里案之后的30余年,马歇尔法院再也没有动用过司法审查权,既维护了政治制度的稳定性,又树立了最高法院的权威。

身为大法官一定要具有锐利的政治眼光,必须懂得审时度势。马歇尔大法官在马伯里诉麦迪逊一案中的处理技巧固然重要,但更重要的是他处理政治问题的实用主义精神,该妥协时就妥协,并不随意动用自己的权力肆意妄为。然而说肆意妄为可能有点过,毕竟最高法院的大法官比起政客之流,往往并非什么居心叵测之辈,但是说到审时度势,可能就不一定人人都能做得像马歇尔大法官那样登峰造极了。

美国宪法第1条第9款第一项规定,在1808年之前,即在宪法生效20年之内,国会不得立法禁止进口奴隶的贸易。此条款起草时,联邦内共有13个州,其中7个州是自由州,6个州为蓄奴州,作为建国的一种妥协,自由州同意奴隶制在蓄奴州的存在。然而美国独立后,其领土不断地在扩张,1787年通过与英国的谈判获得了西北领地,1803年从法国购入了路易斯安那领地,接着又从墨西哥夺得了西南领地,并逐渐在这些领地上建立新州。至1819年,联邦内一共有22个州,自由州和蓄奴州同为11个,双方在参议院的力量势均力敌。就在1819年间,位于路易斯安那领地的密苏里地区要求以蓄奴州的身份加入联邦,如此一来,南方将控制参议院,北方遂极力反对,一时间闹得满城风雨。好在天无绝人之路,原属马萨诸塞州的缅因地区要求独立加入联邦,国会顺势同意其以自由州身份加入,以维系南北之间的平衡,为此,国会还专门通过了一部《密苏里妥协案》,对南北双方的势力范围作了划分,双方不得越界扩张。

天意弄人,在这部法案通过后的第36年,最高法院受理了斯科特案,并以8比1的的绝对多数作了确认奴隶制存在的判决,然而最关键的是,最高法院第二次动用司法审查权,判决《密苏里妥协案》违宪,取消了南北双方的边界。如此一来,便等于最高法院承认奴隶制的正当性,并且奴隶制可以任意地向北方扩张。经此一判,最高法院失去了北方的忠诚,北方各州法院开始公开抵制联邦最高法院的判决,执法部门也睁一只眼闭一只眼,不再在北方严格执行逃奴追缉的法案。然而有问题就有解决方案,此时北方的共和党人积极行动起来,争取让林肯在1860年的总统大选中获得胜利,这样一来,林肯就能在任期内任命新的大法官以取代当时最高法院风烛残年的几位,占据最高法院的九位大法官中的多数席位,从而推翻斯科特案的判决。然而南方岂有不识此道之理?虽然林肯具有温和主义的名声,南方仍然放出风声,如果林肯获胜,南方就将脱离联邦。

历史已为人所知,林肯最终获胜,美国内战也最终爆发。然而要把内战爆发的全部责任推到最高法院有关斯科特案的判决上去,可能言过其实,当时具有决定性影响的是南北双方的经济背景。因气候和地理原因,美国南方形成了一种主要靠向英国和北方大规模出口棉花、烟草等农产品“创汇致富”的出口导向型农业经济,其原棉占据了英国棉纺工业80%的市场,而北方受气候限制只能发展工业。为了保护刚起步的民族工业,现今大肆鼓吹开放市场、自由贸易的美利坚合众国,当时通过世上最高的关税率筑起了保护性贸易壁垒。可是该制度深深地伤害了南方的出口型经济,致使其遭受其他国家的报复性关税。南方政客普遍认为,北方企图以高关税和废奴运动摧毁南方种植园经济,使南方沦落为北方的廉价原料产地。不管北方是不是这个想法,至少政客们的思路还是对的,南北矛盾就是不可调和的经济矛盾。

然而最高法院的大法官们似乎并不明白这个问题,仍然根据宪法规定财产权判决奴隶为个人财产,只能说他们是一群有原则的人,然而当时的世界并不需要这么有原则的人。北方的政客大肆宣扬南方的奴隶如何辛苦,但是他们的商人可以让童工工作十二小时以上。林肯总统发布了著名的解放奴隶宣言,当然,这是北方在快要输掉南北战争的情况下,之前他还讲过这样一段话:

“我在这场战争中的最高目标是拯救联邦,既不是保全奴隶制,也不是摧毁奴隶制。如果我能拯救联邦而不解放任何一个奴隶,我愿意这样做;如果为了拯救联邦需要解放一部分奴隶而保留另一部分,我也愿意这样做。”

根据这种情形,本文只能说,当时非常聪明的人,大概都不在最高法院吧。在此也不得不提杰克逊大法官的一句名言:

“Weare not final because weare infallible,but weare infallible only because weare final。”

放在这个案件背后,不知道又会有多少人愿意重新思考自己对这句话的理解呢?

休斯大法官在任职最高法院之前,于1907年的一次演讲中感慨:“我们生活在宪法之下,但这部宪法是什么意思,确实法官们说了算。”可是,当休斯本人身在其位时,体会到“法官说了算”的巨大责任和沉重压力之后,他叫苦不迭:“我是多么讨厌写判决书啊!我宁愿出庭辩护,让别人去承担做出司法裁决的责任吧”。最高法院虽然看起来很平静,但正如霍姆斯大法官说的,这种平静只是暴风眼中的平静。

霍姆斯大法官退休时,美国正处于30年代大萧条的谷底,这残酷的现实无情地粉碎了自由放任经济理论在人们心中的印象。美国人选择了罗斯福作为新一任的总统,因为他许诺要通过新政将人们从苦难中解救出来。此时,在民主党人控制的国会协助下,罗斯福毫不犹豫地通过了许多以救济、恢复和改革为核心的法案。这些法案损害到了一部分共和党人的利益,于是共和党人纷纷提起诉讼,一些官司打到了最高法院。保守的最高法院再次动用司法审查权,宣布诸多的新政立法违宪无效。

不过罗斯福可不是好惹的,况且他的背后有美国的广大民众撑腰,虽然最高法院给予了罗斯福以重创,但民众却坚定地站在了罗斯福一边,在1936年的选举中再次投给了他绝对的多数票。有了民众的支持,罗斯福决定与最高法院斗一斗。鉴于当时9位大法官已有6位年逾古稀,罗斯福建议国会通过法律,规定只要大法官年逾七旬且任期超过10年,总统就可以加派一位新的大法官,最多加派6人。罗斯福希望通过这种掺沙子的方法,把自己信任的6人送进最高法院,以此来改组最高法院。

罗斯福本人确实是行动派,一提出改组最高法院的方案后,罗斯福就开展了宣传攻势,大肆动员舆论对他的支持,大打民意牌,罗斯福指责说,“最高法院的所为所为已不是司法机构,而是制定政策的机构”,民选的国会正在努力使美国人民“免于灾难”,而最高法院“却要人们怀疑国会的这种能力”,他的责任就是“把宪法从法院中拯救出来,同时也把法院从他自身中拯救出来”。

罗斯福的这种做法看起来似乎是荒谬至极,最高法院如此充满魅力的一个机构,大家又怎么会认同这样一个提议呢?如此认为的人都被狠狠地煽了一个巴掌,因为罗斯福的建议引起了全国性的大辩论,保守派攻讦说这是宪政的末日,就连民主党人自己也忧心忡忡:“假定有一个位反对总统,像罗斯福一样富有魅力、能言善辩而不可抗拒,而他又决定用他很容易称之为紧急理发的法律来删削《权利法案》,那么,我们就得由这位阎王摆布了”,当然,确实存在这种可能性,只是需要美国人民生活在更惨的环境中罢了。

后来罗斯福的改组建议还是失败了,因为最高法院改变了态度。在西岸旅馆诉帕里什案中,最高法院以5比4的票数确认规定最低工资的法律有效。当时首席大法官休斯和布兰代斯大法官在内的四名大法官都倾向于支持最低工资法,也有四位大法官倾向于反对最低工资法,问题的焦点就集中到了欧文·罗伯茨大法官身上。虽然罗伯茨大法官在半年前与保守派站在一起,投票反对了纽约州的最低工资法,但是全国对此案发表评论的344家报纸中,只有10家赞成了这一判决。罗伯茨大法官在纠结犹豫了一夜之后,最终选择了自由派,投票赞成支持最低工资的法律有效,避免了与罗斯福更大的冲突,从而也避免了一场宪政危机。现在看来,虽然经济理论的对错是非难解,但是顺应时代的潮流与人们的期望不失为最高法院的明智之举。

In this novel,the mainline seems to be around the letter A.Hester is brave enough to face the cruel reality.She is always with a mind of courage.She has been alone with her child for so long ,with litter communication.Shame!Hopelessness!Loneliness!Hester has to wear the letter A day after day,seven years as for punishment and ill fame.

When a woman has lived through a difficult experience,her character changes a great deal.If she be all tenderness,she will die.If she survive,the tenderness will leave her .Hester’s charitable deeds and quiet humility have earned her a reprieve from the scorn of the community.The letter on her chest represents her work on earth ,always helping others,without expecting any thanks.Never afterwards,does that scarlet letter leave her chest.The townspeople no longer view the letter as a punishment ,but rather as representing her great strength and bravery and thy say it means “Able”.

But Arthur Dimmesdale,his sin against Hester and Pearl is that he will not acknowledge them as his wife and daughter in the daylight.He keeps his dreadful secret from all those under his care in the church for seven years for fear that he will lose their love and will not be forgiven.He is too weak to admit his sins.He suffers from mysterious heart trouble,seemingly caused by psychological distress.What’s worse,he is an advisor to the townspeople about their sins.

After Mr.Dimmesdale’s death ,no one changes more in appearance than Roger Chilling worth.All his strength and energy has been used to harm his patient .This unhappy man has made his aim in life to add to the suffering of the young minister.When the evil old man no longer has such a purpose,the devil takes him back to the hell .It is a curious subject of observation,however,whether hatred or love are not of the same place.Each takes a great deal of emotion from one person.The two feelings seem basically the same,expect that one is smiled upon by God,while the other is worshipped by the devil.

The Scarlet Letter attained an immediate and lasting success because it addressed spiritual and moral issues from a uniquely American standpoint. In 1850, adultery was an extremely risqué subject, but because Hawthorne had the support of the New England literary establishment, it passed easily into the realm of appropriate reading. It has been said that this work represents the height of Hawthornes literary genius; dense with terse descriptions. It remains relevant for its philosophical and psychological depth, and continues to be read as a classic tale on a universal theme.[6] Another consideration to note having to do with the books popularity is that it was one of the first mass-produced books in America. Into the mid-nineteenth century, bookbinders of home-grown literature typically hand-made their books and sold them in small quantities. The first mechanized printing of "The Scarlet Letter," 2,500 volumes, sold out immediately, was widely read and discussed to an extent not much experienced in the young country up until that time. Copies of the first edition are often sought by collectors as rare books, and may fetch up to around $6,000 USD.
