钢铁是怎么样炼成的英文读后感和翻译（精品20篇）

最近我利用课余时间认真阅读了世界名著《钢铁是怎样炼成的》这本书。书中主人公保尔?柯察金出身贫寒，天份不高，悲伤和苦难主宰了他整个童年。后来他在布尔什维克共产主义战士朱赫来的正确引导下走上了革命的道路，从一名红军骑兵侦察员成长为一名领导者。虽然长期的伤痛最终使保尔全身瘫痪，但他凭借着钢铁般的意志写出了伟大的著作《风雪所诞生的》。书中通过对保尔?柯察金的描写使我感受到了作者尼?奥斯特洛夫斯基的情感世界。他同保尔的经历完全交织在一起。可以说这是一部自传体小说。因为作者和他所描写的主人公保尔一样都是优秀的共产主义战士，都有着钢铁般的意志和满腔的热血，都有着坎坷的一生。《钢铁是怎样炼成的》让我明白了没有天生的英雄，更不能空谈理想。千里之行始于足下，我们要从自己做起，从小事做起，学习保尔?柯察金钢铁的意志和无私奉献的精神，严格要求自己，努力学习，做一个对国家，对人民有所贡献的人。

"The red" the heros name is in even, her first lover is Mrs DE rainer, a second lover is miss mathilde. Theory of status, the identity of the two harmonized appearances of people was significantly higher than him. So, one of my friends is so describe "the red" to me, this is a story of men against women climb.

I dont think Yu Lianyou love, at least until the end, is never seen, the existence of love is a kind of noble, some people say that love is to protect a person, with the standards, obviously, the two affairs cannot be counted as love. Rainer lady fell in love with in the original, but to even want from Mrs DE rainer, just a kind of identity, status to improve the satisfaction and to conquer a better than they are objects of desire, and this is a period of an affair, so even if reluctantly said, at last the moment he sank in madame DE rainer of love, but because of the wrong start, so finally its hard to die well. Besides, he should because Mrs Think DE rainer damaged his and miss mathilde better future, just want to kill DE rainer, madam, it is conceivable that he just want to from beginning to end his own ambitions, not really into the love. For miss mathilde, he wanted to be with miss mathilde is completely was swept away by mathilde external initial originates from one kind of flesh, then mood, a kind of the more cant get more want to torture him. Mathilde had just put in even as a fantasy, mathilde hopes to repeat her worship of a romance, it is not love, at last she kissed in the death of the mans head, also be realize her wish.

I dont like the story of the red, only to see the truth in this story is that Mrs DE rainer for even the relationships we have, but because Mrs DE rainers identity, have never been in love, so when she hadnt really learn to analysis, fell in love with to connect. Of course, have to say, if after you fall in love with is analyzed, can be rational to treat may, it is not pure love.

To even this ambition to insist, perhaps many also struggle at the grassroots level, we not rich "relationship", part of the worth learning. But his selfishness, the excess and lost "sincere" that, absolutely is that we should abandon the part. We should learn to use the right way to realize their dreams.

《红与黑》的男主人公叫于连，她的第一个情人是德莱纳夫人，第二个情人是马蒂尔德小姐。论身份地位来说，两任情人的身份都远远高于他。所以，我一个朋友是这样对我描述《红与黑》的，这就是一个男人靠着女人往上爬的故事。

我不认为于连有过爱情，至少直到结尾，也不曾见到过，爱情是一种高贵的存在，有人说，爱情是去守护一个人，用这个标准来说，显然，那两段情史都不能算作爱情。德莱纳夫人爱上了于连原本的样子，可是于连从德莱纳夫人身上想得到的只是一种身份，地位提高的满足感和征服一个比自己强的对象的征服欲，而且这是一段婚外情，所以哪怕勉强地说，最后那一刻他沉入了对德莱纳夫人的爱情，但是因为错误的开始，所以最后很难善终。况且，他竟然因为认为德莱纳夫人破坏了他和马蒂尔德小姐美好的未来，就想要杀了德莱纳夫人，可想而知，他从头到尾只想着自己的野心，并没有真正的投入到爱情中去。对于马蒂尔德小姐，他之所以想和马蒂尔德小姐在一起完全是被马蒂尔德的外在迷住了，初始来源于一种肉欲，后来一种越是得不到越想要的心情，狠狠地折磨了他。马蒂尔德只是把于连当作了一种幻想，马蒂尔德希望重复她崇拜的一段浪漫史，那也不是爱情，最后她亲吻了于连的死人头，也算是实现了她的愿望吧。

我不喜欢红与黑的故事，这个故事里唯一看到真情的就是，德莱纳夫人对于连的那份感情，可是由于德莱纳夫人的身份，还有从来没有陷入过爱情中，所以在她还没有真正的学会分析人的时候，就爱上了于连。当然，不得不说，如果分析了之后再爱上，能够被那么理智的对待的也许就不是纯真的爱情了。

于连这种对于野心的坚持，也许是不少还奋斗在基层，没有有钱人家的“关系”的我们，值得学习的一部分。但是他这种过度的自私，还有失去了“真心”这一点，绝对是我们应该摒弃的部分。我们应该学会用正确的方式实现自己的梦想。

看完了《钢铁是怎样炼成的》这本名著，我对保尔的尊敬油然而生，他的精神在我心中成为了一个标杆。

这本书主要是讲保尔一生的经历，他早年丧父，母亲给人做佣人，哥哥是工人，儿时做工时也受尽了凌辱，穷苦的生活让保尔的内心愈加坚强，练就了他不屈不挠的性格。

十月革命爆发，社会动摇，保尔在朱赫来的影响下，参加了红军，在数次的战斗中，保尔还是难逃被打伤的厄运，他的头部受了重伤，单眼失明，不能上前线，后来在家中开始了文化创作工作，为祖国的革命事业作出了重大的贡献。

保尔从小就是个苦孩子，而我们生活在这样衣食无忧的环境中，衣来伸手饭来张口，既然保尔都能坚强地面对生活中的困难，为什么我们不能呢？

保尔他勇于献身，拼命的打拼，嫉恶如仇，在病魔来临时，保尔依旧能保持一颗平常心，始终在革命事业的前线工作着，面对重重困难毫不屈服，并正视困难。他不屈于命运，并主动与命运抗争，你们说，这样的精神难道不值得我们学习吗？

而我们呢，在做作业时都觉得累，叫苦连天，那我们在以后怎么在社会中成为一个对社会有贡献的人呢？

每个人的人生都不同，自己的人生由自己来选择，你不敢面对，那么久就是虚度光阴，让我们学习保尔，让我们主宰自己的生活吧！

The Gift of the Magi is a short story wrote by O.Henry.This story tells that in the day before Christmas,a poor young couple exchanged gifts by sold the most precious thing of each,but resulted ordetracted, the two precious gifts all became useless things.While they got the most precious thing than any material objects——love.

After read this story,I learned how to respect others love and how to love others.In this story,they all lost the most valuable things——Jims golden watch and Dellas beautiful hair. Behind this, I saw they loved each other infinitely.They loved their family, they let me feel that cold Christmas Eve has become the warm heaven just because of their gifts. If Della only took one dollar and eighty-seven cents to pick gift,this story will probably lacking of shocking, and also cannot cause readers thinking.

In this materialistic society, people often use money to measure gifts.When bags of gifts which are packaging delicately in front of us,what can we see except empty and blank? Parents feel happy because of our simple greeting cards in their birthday,because of a few words of blessing.These gifts,simple but true.It cant be compared with those which built with a lot of money, outlined by luxuriance. What clever gifts! In some sense, they are invaluable.

Yes,in this materialistic society,some people think money is everything,the one who owns money,who owns all.No wonder a great amount of girls became mammonists,and want to marry richers;no wonder more and more men think that there is no true love,what girls love is their money. But I always believe sincere love is existed and its priceless. Even if you have millions of money, you cant change it into true love. Maybe money can let you get some feelings from girls, but those are hypocritical. When you no longer possess vast wealth, the hypocritical feelings will ended and left you extremely painful finally.Jim and Della were a happy couple, although they were poor, living in short of money.In their hearts, money is not important, the important thing is the affection from each other.As long as they have it, they felt happier than any millionaire.

Maybe some people will pour scorn on it and cannot understand what their done. If there is a good fortune and a sincere feeling in front of you at the same time, which one will you choose? I wouldnt hesitate to choose the later, because sincere feeling is priceless! I believe that true pay will have sincere return finally, and the one who have true love can have his or her happiness.

Nowadays,more and more people have been pressed to lose their breath by the reality.They forgot the persons they love,and the persons who love them.We need to care about others,no matter how much money we have.What our loved one need is how our concern about him or her. In some important days,dont forget to bring him or her some gifts.No matter what is it,how valuable is it,he or she would like it anyway.

Because it is the gift of the Magi.

贝奥武甫的人格结构具有丰富的人性化内涵。他的童年经历对其心理结构的形成影响深刻，在他的身上，超我与本我不断碰撞与冲突。贝奥武甫以自己的死亡成就了英雄的完美，直到生命的最后，他终于找到了作为英雄的人格结构的和谐。

《小妇人》描写了马奇一家的天伦之爱，讲述了四个女孩成长的故事。为爱情而甘于贫困的梅格，通过自己奋斗成为作家的乔，微笑着坚强面对死亡的贝思，扶弱济贫的艾米。

我一晚上就读完了《钢铁是怎样炼成的》。书中的主人公保尔苛察金经历了战火的洗礼、工地上的磨难等种.种考验，使他具有坚强的毅力，战胜困难，把自己炼成了“钢铁”。那么，是什么力量支配他对共产主义事业坚定的信念呢?

然而书上的一幕幕使我惊叹，催人奋进的情景时时在我脑海里出现，想到自己生活在祖国的怀抱里条件优越却怕苦怕累，不持之以恒，真是不应该。保尔苛察金使我懂得了“钢铁”一词的真正含义，激励我不断攀登学习的高峰!

看完了《钢铁是怎样炼成的》我的感触很深。

《钢铁是怎样炼成的》是前苏联著名作家奥四的代表作。书中塑造了保尔·柯察金这一坚忍不拔、顽强拼搏的无产阶级英雄形象。并以保尔·柯察金的生活经历为线索，展现了苏联广阔的历史画面和人民艰苦卓绝的斗争生活。写出苏联时期斗争的艰苦和那个时代的美好品质—为理想而献身的精神，钢铁般的意志和顽强奋斗的品质。

我很敬佩保尔的这一点品质，他的确是一个顽强的人，当他负伤不得不退出战场之时，他仍然在后方不停地为社会的发展做着贡献。当他被诊断出神经中枢有毛病时，他还是一如既往的想方设法的工作，争取多为社会做事。最后，他两腿瘫痪、双目失明，不得不放弃工作。但他仍然坚决的拿起笔，再次顽强地与命运做起了斗争。正如贝多芬所说：“人应该扼住命运的咽喉!”这是很有道理的，人不应该屈服于命运，应该奋斗终生，顽强拼搏。在小说中，我最欣赏其中的一句话：“人最宝贵的东西是生命。生命对于我们只有一次。一个人的生命应当这样度过：当他回首往事的时候，他不因虚度年华而悔恨，也不因碌碌无为而羞愧。”

我认为这话很对，准确地说明了一个人生活在这个世界上的意义。难道不是这样吗?一个人不应虚度年华，也不应碌碌无为。一个人总应该为社会、为大家甚至为自己做一点事，那怕是一点点，也不能虚度此生，才能算得上是在“活着”。

对于我们来说，狼烟滚滚已成为历史。《钢铁是怎样炼成的》让我们了解了历史，让我们铭记许许多多的革命先辈们，认识到今天的幸福来之不易。所以，《钢铁是怎样炼成的》不愧为是一本好书。

小说主人公保尔·柯察金早年丧父，12岁被母亲送去车站食堂洗碗，饱受苦难。后到发电厂烧火，认识了朱赫来。红军撤走后，德军进攻保尔的家乡，加上阶级斗争，人民的日子很艰难。布尔什维克朱赫来被追捕时，暂住保尔家，给他讲许多革命道理，对他很有影响。后来，朱赫来被捕，保尔打倒押送兵，放走朱赫来，自己却入狱。出狱后，他住在冬妮亚家冬妮亚找到保尔的哥哥阿尔焦姆，他让保尔参加红军。一次激战中，保尔头部受重伤，但最终死里逃生。出院后，不宜回前线，便做团的工作，修筑铁路等，以后他参加工业建设和边防战斗，入了党。由于他多次受伤生病，忘我工作等原因，1972年他几乎完全瘫痪，双目失明，他在忍受极大痛苦的情况下，决心帮妻子达雅进步，并开始文学创作，以另一种方式生活。保尔能成为英雄主要在于他的追求和努力的塑造。他从小就有一身正气，反对以大欺小，以强欺弱，反对官僚主义。他佩服朱泽培·加里波第，在朱赫来的教育下，他更加明白他要做的是什么——就是将个人事业与祖国的需要相结合，做一个能尽一切力量奉献于祖国的革命者。为了这个理想，他经受住了生活和战争的考验，的确称得上是一名坚强的革命者。在他的心中，革命事业与祖国的利益高于一切，在任何情况下，他的革命信念总是坚定不移的，所以他才有力战胜死亡与病痛，将毕生投入事业中。这就是保尔这个革命者的崇高精神，钢铁就是在这如同烈火燃烧的斗争考验中炼成的。

从小说中，我们也看到了对待挫折的正确方法。保尔瘫痪失明后，想到自杀，但自杀就等于背叛革命，于是他又极力鼓励自己振作起来，想办法活下去。对待挫折，不是逃避，死亡是最愚蠢的办法，活着就是一种希望，没有什么比坚强地活下去更有意义了。在面对挫折时，应该想到目标，你还有多少没有完成，你应该从痛苦中走出来，重新为它努力奋斗，理想是永远不会消失的，即使破坏了，还可以再树立一个，像保尔那样的处境，都能摸索出适合自己的生活道路，你为何不可呢?

保尔曾说过：“人最宝贵的是生命，生命每个人只有一次，人的一生应该这样度过：当他回首往事的时候，不因虚度年华而悔恨，也不因碌碌无为而羞愧;这样，在临死的时候他就能够说： ‘我的整个生命和全部精力都献给了世界上最壮丽的事业——为人类的解放而斗争。’”这句话说有了人应该有伟大的理想，有了理想就要行动，行动了就要尽力，尽力了才不会有遗憾，他这种为实现理想而拼搏的恒心、决心与行动实在令人震惊，正是他这种精神让中老年人怀念，又鞭策了无数年轻人，为千万青年人树立了正确的人生观、世界观和价值观。

在时过境迁的现代社会，人们对事业的追求不再那么执着了，往往是力不从心，茫然无措或是一蹶不振，人们仍需要从这样的书中汲取精神。应该说，《钢铁是怎样炼成的》是一本永远不会过时的好书，保尔是一个永远的人生强者，一个乐观主义的勇敢者，他的精神永远是不变的向导。

实现理想并不是件容易之事。不过，你应该明白，理想就像空中的风筝，离你再遥远，你手中的线总是牵着它，一切尽在你的掌握中，你得从每件小事做起，哪怕只是捡起一颗钉子，为别人倒水，都是实现理想，培养高尚品格的一小步——因为你的事业一定是要奉献于人的，如果能这样看待，挫折不也只是一小步么.

让我们从现在做起，由小事起步，努力锻炼自我，你也会是一块钢铁，相信，你一定有抓住“风筝”的一日。

我阅读《钢铁是怎样炼成的》深受感触，先讲一下主人公保尔。

保尔小时候特别顽皮，长大后成为一名革命战士，可以毫不客气的说他是为革命死去活来，比如在一次铲雪工作中，受了风寒，差一点死去，但又以顽强的精神战胜死神。为了革命，他付出了多少。看了他的传说，就到了800米跑步比赛。

这天是我的末日，本来我就是女生。何况还是小短腿呢！如果跑慢了，面临的就是同学的嘲笑，老师的指责，想想都可怕。

“开跑！”一声严令下后。我和三个对手就像脱缰的野马一样奔腾着，一开始跑起来特别轻松，我心里还沾沾自喜，可到第四圈的时候，感觉就完全不一样了，腿上像绑了铁块似的，再跑几圈就更辛苦了，我恨不得放弃比赛。这时，我突然想起来保尔，自己身体残疾也不忘为国家效益。更何况37个人的班级，想到这，我感觉有一股神秘力量向我进发。我居然跑了1分58秒，以前也只能跑2分。

这本书给予我了鼓励，正如高尔基所言“书籍是人类进步的阶梯。”所以我们要好好读书，了解更多的知识。

《木偶奇遇记》是意大利的儿童文学家卡洛.科洛迪的代表作，发表与1880年。

这部童话的主人公匹诺曹是个调皮的木偶，他天真无邪、纯洁朴实、正直勇敢，他任性、淘气、搞乱、不守规矩，有时候还喜欢撒点慌。他既没坏到无可救药，也没好到无可挑剔，而是和现实生活中的许多孩子一样，心地善良，聪明伶俐，但又缺点多多。另外，他又缺乏主见、没有恒心、禁不住诱惑。正是因为这样，他经历了很多事情。

他为了看戏不惜买掉课本，在回家的路上受狐狸和猫的欺骗差点儿被它们吊死。被仙女救了之后，他又被傻瓜城的法官投进监狱。出狱后，他被迫当看家狗。夜里，他因帮助主人抓住黄鼠狼而重新获得自由。他一心想成为一个用功读书的好孩子，可是又禁不住起诱惑，在坏同学的怂恿下，逃学到海边看鲨鱼。后来，他又被卖到玩具国，变成一头驴子。最后，他在鲨鱼腹中意外与父亲重逢，并设法逃了出来。从此，小木偶每天去做工，有空还要学习，终于成为了一个真正的好孩子。

和匹诺曹在一起，我们会体验一次冒险之旅，同时也与他一起逐渐学会勇敢、诚实、有责任心、爱学习、尊重他人……

匹诺曹的故事给我们以有益的教诲和艺术的感染。故事通过匹诺曹的种种曲折、离奇的经历，表现出他热爱正义、痛恨邪恶、天真纯洁的品质，并借此教育我们每一个儿童要抵御种种诱惑，做一个诚实、听话、爱学习、爱劳动的好孩子。

一本薄薄的《木偶奇遇记》引出了那么多的道理，真是让人受益无穷、难以忘怀啊!直到永远记住，永远、永远……

因为一个小小的罪行，被关了14年，为了生存，他逃了“罪人”这个桎梏。成为了一个拥有无数财产的市长，一个把绝大多数的钱都捐给了慈善机构和穷人们，以至于他往往出门时口袋里装满了钱，回来时又都空了。除此之外他还经常把面包送给挨饿的人，把衣服送给挨冻的人;到处访贫问苦。对于穷人而言，他就像一顶保护伞，一个正义的化身。

One of the most representative is he fang town with cosette, mother and daughter of love. In order to achieve the fang town dying to meet their own daughters wishes, he would escape again (this time escape from prison, for he is a lifelong convict price)。 Although fang town ultimately failed to achieve their wishes died, but he was always adhere to the time to complete his irrelevant to fang town - a dead promise… With the course of his life when carefully take care of her as his daughter.

All this shows a noble soul!

其中最具代表性的就是他对芳町与珂赛特母女的关爱。为了实现芳町临死前能见一面自己亲生女儿的愿望，他不惜再一次越狱(而这一次越狱，对他来说则是终身苦役犯的代价)。虽然最后芳町还是没能实现自己的愿望就死去了，可他却始终坚持不渝地完成他对芳町——一个毫不相干的死人的诺言……并用毕生的精力把她当作自己女儿一样细心地照顾时。我被深深地震撼了。与当时黑暗、丑恶的社会现象相对应的，竟是一颗如此善良、无私的心;以及那么高尚的道德品质。为了使一些陌生人不受到伤害，他竟然一次次地挺而走险，甚至甘愿付出自己的生命。要知道这是要付出多么巨大的勇气和力量啊!这一切都向我们展示了一个灵魂的高尚!

读完整本书后，感叹过当时阶级社会对穷人的残暴粗鲁;感叹过当时法国触目惊心的社会现实;感叹过人们贪恋狡诈的邪念;更感叹过那些平凡而又普通的人民，为了反抗社会的不公而做出的巨大贡献，那些心中充满希望和爱的人。

"Only love can destroy everything in the world, unfortunately," this is the author wants to tell us, although we love jean valjean did not great, but in real life, ordinary love is everywhere. Do you remember when you are frustrated that the warm embrace; When you are thrilled that enthusiastic high-five; When you embarrass anger that understand the vision; When complacency that severe frown… Do you remember the warm language, friendly smile, soft eyes and then gently pat caresses…

“只有爱，才能消灭世界上的一切不幸” 这是作者想告诉我们的，虽然我们的爱没有冉阿让那样伟大，但在现实生活中，平凡的爱也是随处可见的。还记得当你沮丧不已时那温暖的怀抱;当你激动万分时那热情的击掌;当你愤怒难堪时那理解的目光;当你骄傲自满时那严厉的皱眉…… 还记得那温暖的语言，友善的微笑，温柔的目光和那轻柔的拍抚……

The most powerful counterattack is the love of dark! Let love pass, diffusion, with action to change around, the world will likely to slowly become what you want!

对黑暗的最有力反击是爱!让爱传递，扩散，用行动去改变身边的，世界才会有可能慢慢变成你所希望的!

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。

《钢铁是怎样炼成的》书中的主人翁保尔。柯察金，出生于一个贫困的铁路工人家庭。保尔曾参军，当过侦察兵和骑兵，在战场上是个敢于冲锋陷阵的战士和优秀的政治宣传员，因伤退役后，参加到祖国建设。他的一生是艰难的，也很坎坷。他早年丧父，中年失明、瘫痪，但是，他却留给了我们不朽的巨作和诠释了生命的意义。

保尔向往革命，背着家人参加了红军。但是在一次和波兰军队作战时，保尔被波兰白军的炮弹击中了。虽然他很快就被送进了医院。但由于伤势很重，伤口很深，颅骨都被子弹穿透了，知觉也失去了。经过艰苦的治疗，保尔的伤势是治愈了，但是，他却不能重返战场。创伤给他带来了很多后遗症，他的右眼被摘除了，他失去了80%的视力，他无法进行射击操作了。保尔因此投身到祖国的建设。由于他一直在艰苦的环境下工作，他的身体也渐渐在恶化。一年后，他的左眼也失明了，这一打击对他是毁灭性的。但是，他并没有停止工作，而是与无情的命运在搏斗，他完成了长篇小说《钢铁是怎样炼成的》。小说虽然取得很大的成功，但是，他并没有停止工作，继续在写作另一巨作：《暴风雨所诞生的》。但是，他的身体只让他完成了一小部分，生命就永远停止了。

保尔的生命是短暂的，也只留下不多的作品，但是，他的名言，却是刻骨铭心的。他说：人，最宝贵的是生命。生命对每一个人只有一次。这仅有的一次生命应当怎样度过呢?每挡回忆往事的时候，能够不为虚度年华而悔恨，不因碌碌无为而羞耻;在临死的时候，他能够说：我的整个生命和全部精力，都已经献给了世界上最壮丽的事业——为人类的解放而进行的斗争。这让我明白了一个道理，“做事一定要坚持到底”。我在学习的方面上，一定要学习保尔的精神。

我生在一个富裕的和平年代，一直被娇生惯养，受到一些批评和困难，就容易掉眼泪;在玩乐的诱惑面前就失去对学习的坚持。正是这些问题的存在，导致我上课不认真，师长的教诲往往置于脑后，成绩也就不稳定。《钢铁是怎样炼成的》书中的主人翁保尔一生对生命意义的诠释，使得我对自己做了一个比较，我认为我需要加强自我锻炼，多参加一些有约束的集体活动，如军事夏令营，磨砺出坚强的意志力，成为一个向目标锲而不舍前进的有坚强毅力的人，只有这样，我才能变成一个可以实现愿望和理想的人，一个有贡献于社会的人。

最近几天，我在家里读了一部描写苏联抗日解放战争的小说《钢铁是怎样炼成的》。原来只想读了写篇日记好交差，但当我读了开头，我就立刻被故事的内容吸引了。

《钢铁是怎样炼成的》主要讲了保尔·柯察金从小受人歧视，又被神父赶出教堂。在一次偶然的机会中，他救了水兵朱赫来。朱赫来跟保尔讲了许多关于布尔什维克党的许多事情，使保尔对参加布尔什维克党充满了憧憬。后来，他认识了冬妮娅，但他没有因为私人的感情而放弃自己的事业，所以，他毅然参军。在军队中，保尔作战英勇，但在战场上多次负伤，加上忘我地工作，使保尔的病情加重，不得不住院治疗。可是，保尔几乎全身瘫痪，接着又是双目失明，离开集体的痛苦使他想过__，但他忍住了，因为他碰到了一个姑娘。

那个姑娘叫达雅。她使保尔看到了生活的希望，达雅通过保尔，彻底摆脱了庸俗的家庭也加入了党。不久，保尔和达雅结婚了。

保尔阅读大量书籍，便开始创作《暴风雨所诞生的》，但原稿在寄出的途中丢失，保尔六个月的心血没了!但他在承受了如此大的打击时下，仍坚持创作，最终出版成功，书本备受作者欢迎，保尔终于又能为革命做出贡献了!

读完了《钢铁是怎样炼成的》之后大家肯定会问：保尔都受了那么严重的伤，为什么还会想着报效祖国呢?让我来告诉你：因为他认为“人的一生是宝贵的，人的一生不能虚度，而要把整个宝贵生命都献给世界上最壮丽的事业——为人类的解放而斗争。”

读了这本书，使我懂得了许多。我懂得的不仅仅是保尔身上那不屈不挠的品质，而是看到了一颗热爱党，热爱国家，热爱人民，热爱和平的这样无私奉献的心。正是因为布尔什维克党中的每个人都像保尔那样，苏联才会解放。我相信，只要人人都像保尔·柯察金那样，我们的中国人们一定会更团结，我们中国一定会更强大!

《钢铁是怎样炼成的》是在作家奥斯特洛夫斯基双目失明、全身瘫痪、困卧病榻的艰苦条件下，忍受着病痛，克服书写的困难，借助与一块镂空的格板一字一句地摸写，后来手连笔也拿不动了，便自己口授，由亲友帮助笔录。历时三年才完成了这部不朽的名著。可见奥斯特洛夫斯基与书中的主人公保尔?柯察金一样有着惊人的毅力和顽强的精神。

看完这本书之后，我不由的从心底佩服作家奥斯特洛夫斯基。他的毅力和顽强的精神，深深地打动了所有的读者。从这本书中我也获得了启示：人，一定要有精神，正因为有了精神，才支撑和鼓舞了保尔?柯察金和许多革命老前辈们为了人民的利益而艰苦奋斗，流血牺牲。也正因为有了精神，才支撑和鼓舞了我们的广大人民为建设自己的美好未来信心百倍地忘我劳动。这是我们应该珍惜和发扬的。

Some time ago， I read a persons fame Khvostov of as "Uncle Toms cabin." Integrity， good-natured， religious Uncle Tom; prudent， smart， studious Mestizo slave George; inexcusable ruthless slave traders Hailey; destroys human nature， conscience ruined the alegre; a sense of justice， but drift， such as the St. Clair lifelike characters left me a deep impression on him. What made me the most unforgettable is the smart and lively but wild full， and later transferred teach self-esteem a slave girlTOM love.

TOM blacks had the most black， a pair of round bright eyes as sparkling glass beads， like， look a bit strange face is a shrewd and crafty Kyrgyzstan wonderful binations， like a goblin-like. She loves to steal， stealing after lie， put an innocent expression; her misbehavior， all making her revenge， hoaxes; she would take advantage of the master out， crazy couple of hours to make his home mess. Her owner exhausted all ways to punish her， education， she tried to change her bad habits， but to no avail， this is only because there is no love!

Think about it! This was lovely child， born into slavery， she belonged to them all the only masters of the so-called masters of her fate. Her childhood on his masters scolding to grow up， so she formed the habit of lying， bad habit of stealing things， and that she was beautiful， tarnished the purity of heart. In this there is no dignity， experiencing being separated from being whipped all day circumstances， how can we have a noble moral character and firm in faith? Only pure， beautiful， selfless love can save her soul! When the angelic Eva to her love of her time，TOM eyes cast the tears that her heart has been ray of sunshine of love. Sure enough， after the changeTOM Well， her efforts to care for others. This is the punishment， not preaching Forever effect， full of love beyond all words! This is the power of love!

In our lives， there are many like TOM as children. Their bad behavior， there is no love， will not listen to reason， then do not hate him， to understand with love， tolerance， stripped away a layer of green shoots yellow things， with love to the hearts of probation numb. We should always remember; the power of love is enormous， and the supreme! "Uncle Toms cabin" This masterpiece has been published in 150 years， it has been able to make today is still deeply moved by readers， but also because the author in the book preached brotherhood and humanity in the disappearance of slavery today has been the eternal pursuit of mankind.

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.
