《老人与海》英文读后感推荐20篇

荀子曰：骐骥一跃，不能十步;驽马十驾，功在不舍。锲而舍之，朽木不折;锲而不舍，金石可镂。——当我放下了手中的书，脑海中便浮现出这句话。

大海、风浪、鱼和一张饱经沧桑的脸。这本充满激情的书正是美国传奇作家海明威那部轰动全世界的小说——《老人与海》。此书曾获得过诺贝尔文学奖，并成为全球公认的不朽名著。

《老人与海》讲述的是一个怎么样的故事呢?为什么人们如此津津乐道?我带着这样的疑问走进书中。

这本书说的是一位老人，带着一个小男孩出海打渔，整整84天毫无收获。于是，男孩的父母不同意男孩继续跟着老人打渔，他们认为这一切都是徒劳。老人只能独自一人再次出海。

在海上，他终于钓到一条大鱼。经过整整两天两夜的拉锯战，最终刺死了大鱼。不料，在回航路上，大鱼的血引来了大群鲨鱼。老人与鲨鱼又搏斗了一天一夜，等回到家时，大鱼只剩下尖长的鱼嘴、鱼头上的一点儿肉和一具骨架了。周围的人们都感慨不已，纷纷替老人感到惋惜。而此时，老人却已经经过休整，准备再次出海……

看到这里，我不禁被震撼到了，即使有可能最后一无所获，他依然绝不会认输，依旧勇往直前。这是怎样一种信念在支撑着他!

你也许会说：老人每取得一点胜利都付出了那么大的代价，这值得吗?而我认为，从另外一种意义上来说，他才是一个胜利者。因为，他不屈服于命运，无论在怎么艰苦的环境里，他都凭着自己的勇气、毅力和智慧坚持着自己的梦想。人生从来都不是轻轻松松的获得。每一份收获的背后都是心血的付出，人生的魅力不就是在坚持中迎向光明吗?

“坚持”这个词，在我的学习生活中经常被提及。记得有一次，我报名参加了“新东方杯”英语口语比赛。平时，对口语练习生疏的我，有点退缩。但是，老师鼓励我说：接受挑战，本身就是一种成功，我们不在乎结果，在乎的是追求结果的过程中付出的坚持和体验。然而，我在比赛的后半段中，由于压力太大，没能坚持住高强度的训练，无缘进入总决赛。当我得知比赛结果的那一刻，我突然第一次体会到了一种叫“后悔”的感觉。为什么我中途放弃了?为什么我不再坚持一会儿呢?如果我坚持了，至少此刻，我不会后悔!

回想书里，老人一次次面对未知的结果，只是义无反顾地坚持，我突然恍然大悟。老人就像生活中的每一个“我”，大海就是我们所处的环境，而大鱼就是我们所要追求的目标!

爱因斯坦失败了多少次，仍在坚持不断地重新开始;司马迁即使受到巨大的折磨，也依然坚持理想，写出了伟大的《史记》;阿里巴巴创办者马云，他考重点小学，失败了;考重点中学也失败了;考大学更是考了三年才考上。但他有坚持不懈，勇往直前的精神，最终成为那个改变世界的人......

坚持，就是历经风雨后的那道彩虹;坚持，就是翻山越岭后的那片风景;坚持，就是酷暑严寒中的那缕花香!

小草可以从缝隙中，发芽，吐翠，绽放生命的色彩;一株平凡的小树，也能在风雨中历练中长成参天大树;自信阳光的我，也会从点点滴滴的生活琐事中，不断地坚持、磨炼中超越自己，描绘生命中最美丽的蓝图。

同学们，就让我们一起整装待发，朝着那片大海上的朝阳，奋勇前进吧!

今天，我读了《老人与海鸥》这篇文章，让我憎恨那些非法猎杀野生动物的不法分子。

本文主要讲了：老人每天的坚持从城郊赶到翠湖给海鸥喂食以及海鸥之间的深厚情谊，老人死后，海鸥在遗像前为老人送行的故事。

本文以生动的语言、动作、神态描写，为我们展示了人与动物之间的和谐和动物富有灵性的丰富情感。让我们看到人与动物之间的和谐原来那么美好，令人向往。

读了这篇文章，我想到了那些偷猎者，他们为了赚黑钱，贩卖野生动物而背叛了自己的良心。让动物朋友对我们人类提高警惕、它们活也活的不自由。

如果我们一起去爱护它们就会让人类呵护它们，就会让人类与动物成为亲密无间的朋友。曹植说：“本是同根生，相煎何太急。”

动物也是地球母亲的“孩子”，它们也有权利生活子地球上，既然我们都是地球生物，又为何尔虞我诈呢?又为何有智商高低之分呢?

让我们一起保护动物吧。

Life is like a box of chocoles —— 《Forrest Gump》

"Mom always said life is just like a box of chocoles. Youll never know what you gonna get."

One hundred and sixty years ago,when Charlotte Bronte created Jane Eyre,she could have never thought that it would become eternal.As a matter of fact, in the world of today,there are tens of thousands of Jane Eyre,each living in a readers heart,breathing with him the same air and sharing with him the same happiness and sorrow.Her rich mental world has become an inexhaustible resource of spirtual power.From Jane Eyre,people who are timid and shy get confidence and self-respect;people who feel imprisoned get independence and freedom;people who are lonesome get love and care.However, what I get from Jane Eyre is the courage of inner qestioning and self-exploring.

Jane Eyre is a young orphan being raised by Mrs. Reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. A servant named Bessie provides Jane with some of the few kindnesses she receives, telling her stories and singing songs to her. One day, as punishment for fighting with her bullying cousin John Reed, Jane’s aunt imprisons Jane in the red-room, the room in which Jane’s Uncle Reed died. While locked in, Jane, believing that she sees her uncle’s ghost, screams and faints. She wakes to find herself in the care of Bessie and the kindly apothecary Mr. Lloyd, who suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane be sent away to school. To Jane’s delight, Mrs. Reed concurs.

Once at the Lowood School, Jane finds that her life is far from idyllic. The school’s headmaster is Mr. Brocklehurst, a cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man. Brocklehurst preaches a doctrine of poverty and privation to his students while using the school’s funds to provide a wealthy and opulent lifestyle for his own family. At Lowood, Jane befriends a young girl named Helen Burns, whose strong, martyrlike attitude toward the school’s miseries is both helpful and displeasing to Jane. A massive typhus epidemic sweeps Lowood, and Helen dies of consumption. The epidemic also results in the departure of Mr. Brocklehurst by attracting attention to the insalubrious conditions at Lowood. After a group of more sympathetic gentlemen takes Brocklehurst’s place, Jane’s life improves dramatically. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher.

After teaching for two years, Jane yearns for new experiences. She accepts a governess position at a manor called Thornfield, where she teaches a lively French girl named Adèle. The distinguished housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax presides over the estate. Jane’s employer at Thornfield is a dark, impassioned man named Rochester, with whom Jane finds herself falling secretly in love. She saves Rochester from a fire one night, which he claims was started by a drunken servant named Grace Poole. But because Grace Poole continues to work at Thornfield, Jane concludes that she has not been told the entire story. Jane sinks into despondency when Rochester brings home a beautiful but vicious woman named Blanche Ingram. Jane expects Rochester to propose to Blanche. But Rochester instead proposes to Jane, who accepts almost disbelievingly.

The wedding day arrives, and as Jane and Mr. Rochester prepare to exchange their vows, the voice of Mr. Mason cries out that Rochester already has a wife. Mason introduces himself as the brother of that wife—a woman named Bertha. Mr. Mason testifies that Bertha, whom Rochester married when he was a young man in Jamaica, is still alive. Rochester does not deny Mason’s claims, but he explains that Bertha has gone mad. He takes the wedding party back to Thornfield, where they witness the insane Bertha Mason scurrying around on all fours and growling like an animal. Rochester keeps Bertha hidden on the third story of Thornfield and pays Grace Poole to keep his wife under control. Bertha was the real cause of the mysterious fire earlier in the story. Knowing that it is impossible for her to be with Rochester, Jane flees Thornfield.

Penniless and hungry, Jane is forced to sleep outdoors and beg for food. At last, three siblings who live in a manor alternatively called Marsh End and Moor House take her in. Their names are Mary, Diana, and St. John (pronounced “Sinjin”) Rivers, and Jane quickly becomes friends with them. St. John is a clergyman, and he finds Jane a job teaching at a charity school in Morton. He surprises her one day by declaring that her uncle, John Eyre, has died and left her a large fortune: 20,000 pounds. When Jane asks how he received this news, he shocks her further by declaring that her uncle was also his uncle: Jane and the Riverses are cousins. Jane immediately decides to share her inheritance equally with her three newfound relatives.

St. John decides to travel to India as a missionary, and he urges Jane to accompany him—as his wife. Jane agrees to go to India but refuses to marry her cousin because she does not love him. St. John pressures her to reconsider, and she nearly gives in. However, she realizes that she cannot abandon forever the man she truly loves when one night she hears Rochester’s voice calling her name over the moors. Jane immediately hurries back to Thornfield and finds that it has been burned to the ground by Bertha Mason, who lost her life in the fire. Rochester saved the servants but lost his eyesight and one of his hands. Jane travels on to Rochester’s new residence, Ferndean, where he lives with two servants named John and Mary.

At Ferndean, Rochester and Jane rebuild their relationship and soon marry. At the end of her story, Jane writes that she has been married for ten blissful years and that she and Rochester enjoy perfect equality in their life together. She says that after two years of blindness, Rochester regained sight in one eye and was able to behold their first son at his birth.

Actually,not only do I inspired by Jane Eyres character,but also I am moved by the love of Rochester.I believe that every one of us may have thought about our Mr.Right after reading this book.He doesnt need to be so handsome .However,he must be good to us and take our things as the most important things.Yes, we are all expecting...

>讲的是这样一个故事：老人圣地亚哥是古巴一个经验丰富的老渔夫，他有一位忘年交，小男孩马洛林。由于运气原因，他连续84天都没有捕到一条鱼，孩子也因为父母的原因离开了老人，去了另一条渔船。但他仍然坚信下一次自己总会钓到一条了不得的大鱼。的确，他成功了。在费尽千辛万苦，经历了无数次失败之后，他终于凭借着惊人的毅力打败了大鱼，钓上了一条长达十八英尺，比他渔船还大的马林鱼。但命运之神似乎仍没有眷顾对方，在他用尽全力，花费了两天两夜捕获到这条大鱼，正准备返航时，鱼的鲜血散发出血腥味却又引来了成群结队的鲨鱼。在精疲力竭赶走了全部鲨鱼之后，他才发现那条十八英尺的大鱼已经被撕咬得只剩下一条脊骨……>told such a story: The old man is a experienced old fisherman in Cuba. He has a young boy Marlin.Due to his luck, he did not catch a fish for 84 consecutive days.

费尽周折，却只带回一具残骸，历尽艰辛，却只留下了一身的伤。但尽管这样，老人仍然与孩子相约一起去打鱼。看到这里我潸然泪下——这是一种多么值得人敬佩的精神啊!这篇文章给我带来了感官上的刺激，但更多的则是反思。敢问在我们这些从小娇生惯养的00后可曾有这样的精神?作业稍多，便叫苦连天;受点挫折，便萎靡不振;甚至有许多成年人都无法做到这一点!写到这里，作为一名少先队员，我感到深深的惭愧，不禁扪心自问：这种本应该长久留存下去的优良品质去哪了?海明威笔下一个普普通通的老人圣地亚哥却让我感受到了这种永不腐朽的品质。

现在中学生阅读的普遍是一些所谓的“青少年流行读物”，那些真正的名著却堆在家中的书柜里无人问津。在这里，我要向全世界儿童呼吁：那些“少年读物”无法带给你任何东西。有空，多去翻翻那些名作，那是世界几千年文化积累的精华!其它只是转瞬即逝的风景，只有那些经典之作才是经久不衰的！

暑假中，我读了一本书《老人与海》，看完书后，我的心犹如涨潮的海水，久久不能平静这本书讲了这样一个故事，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼，但是他坚持不懈，最后钓到了一条大马林鱼，却在归程中遭到鲨鱼的袭击，老人拼命反击，回港时只剩鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨，这本书向我们揭示了一个道理：人不是为了失败而生的，一个人能够被毁灭，但不能被打败。

书中，老人与鲨鱼搏斗，鱼叉没了，他用短棍，短棍也丢了，他用舵把来打。若老人没有强大的信念以及坚持，如何能征服鲨鱼?每每读到这里我都会想起我自己发生的一件事。

当时老师组织我们去参加演讲比赛，我每天不停地读和背，在老师的指导下我渐渐完善自己的发音和演讲能力。到比赛场地后，我紧张了，我从没有当过那么多人的面演讲。我紧紧地攥住拳头，手心里全是汗，腿也不停地发抖。上台演讲了，我努力平复心情，最后用颤抖的声音演讲完。结果出来了，我没有获奖。

那次比赛后，我一直闷闷不乐，只要是背书我就会紧张，手心冒汗。后来，我在图书馆看到这了这本书。“你尽可以去毁灭一个人，但你打不败他”，这句话深深触动到了我的心。我是在比赛中失败了，就像老人一样辛苦捕鱼到最后只剩下鱼骨，但老人并没有觉得失败，他仍在斗争，与命运，与挫折，与生活斗争。而我呢，一蹶不振。于是，我决定像老人那样。每天我都会读几篇课文，

搜集绕口令，一个人对着镜子练习。我一直在坚持努力，后来，我遇上了机会，当我再次站在演讲台时，我并没有第一次那么恐惧，顺利地完成了演讲。

不仅是老人的坚持与信念，他的心态也影响了我。

老人驾驶着他的船在茫茫大海中漂泊，连续八十四天没有收获，这样的孤独与无助谁能忍

耐?乐观的心态是老人战胜的关键。步入高中的我，第一次感受到孤独。下自习回到宿舍里，

面对陌生的环境，强烈的思念感、孤独感油然而生，我躺在床上，脑子里一团乱，未来该如何?何时才能回家?泪水在眼眶中打转，两行热泪夺眶而出。

整整一个星期，我整个人都无精打采，怅然若失。当我看到《老人与海》这本书时，我又似乎从中得到了什么。

早上，舍友起来与我打招呼，我们几个人都在推让，让对方先洗;在班里写字没有笔水了，同桌把笔借给我。原来，美好就在我身边，我并不孤独，

是我把自己的心套上了枷锁。

正像《老人与海》的书名一样，海与老人互相陪作。老人从海中有所获，我也一定会在知识海洋中有所得。

这个暑假，我读了一本著名的小说《老人与海》，这本书给了我极大的启示。

书的作者是欧内斯特。海明威，书中的主人公是一个叫亚地圣哥的老渔民，作者采用故事叙述的方式描写了亚地圣哥出海捕鱼的一段经历。

故事以主人公出海84天没有捕到一条鱼为悬念，在茫茫大海中孤立无助，却又信念坚定，随后的第85天却独自钓到一条世所罕见的大鱼，围绕着如何把鱼带回港口，主人公历经千辛万苦，最后只是把大鱼的骨架带了回来，随着故事情节的展开，作者向读者展现了一位捕鱼手艺与自身行为准则及自然法则完美结合的老渔民。

本书的故事情节跌宕起伏，高潮迭起，主人公经常遇到难以克服的困境，却往往又峰回路转，犹如柳暗花明又一村，同时作者又以生动的笔触、细腻的心理描写刻画了一个血肉丰满的主人公，他信念坚定，有所追求，但又有自己的行为准则，作为一生捕鱼的渔民，他技艺高超，经验丰富，却又尊重自然，爱护自然，不因自己的一时得失而患得患失，故事的结局令人深思。

通过本书的阅读，我觉得不仅要学习作者的写作技巧，更要学习主人公的精神。

Ugly duckling illustrated, many tribulations into a white swan, it is because it has a dream of mind. It supports dream. In fact, no trajectory fate lies in the realm of beautiful, beautiful pursuit of ideals. The frustration and pain of life is inevitable, they should learn to walk the feet. Every child will have a dream of their own, as long as they learn to establish life goals, self-confidence, self-improvement, Independence grow up, they will really struggle through the original can also become aware of their "white swan" like the ugly duckling can achieve the same dream in the heart.

丑小鸭历经千辛万苦、重重磨难之后变成了白天鹅，那是因为它心中有着梦想，梦想支撑着它。命运其实没有轨迹，关键在于对美好境界、美好理想的追求。人生中的挫折和痛苦是不可避免的，要学会把它们踩在脚下，每个孩子都会有一份属于自己的梦想，只要他们学会树立生活目标，在自信、自强、自立中成长，通过拼搏他们会真正的认识到自己原来也可以变成“白天鹅”，也可以像丑小鸭一样实现心中的梦想。

《老人与海》故事的背景是在二十世纪中叶的古巴。主角人物是一位圣地亚哥的老渔夫，配角是一个叫马诺林的小孩。这位风烛残年的渔夫一连八十四天都没有钓到一条鱼，几乎都快饿死了；但他仍然不肯认输，而充满着奋斗的精神，终于在第八十五天钓到一条身长十八尺，体重一千五百磅的大马林鱼。大鱼拖着船往大海走，但老人依然死拉着不放，即使没有水，没有食物，没有武器，没有助手，而且左手又抽筋，他也丝毫不灰心。经过两天两夜之后，他终于杀死大鱼，把它拴在船边。但许多小鲨立刻前来抢夺他的战利品；他一一地杀死它们，到最后只剩下一支折断的舵柄做为武器。结果，大鱼仍难逃被吃光的命运，最终，老人筋疲力竭地拖回一副鱼骨头。他回到家躺在床上，只好从梦中去寻回那往日美好的岁月，以忘却残酷的现实。

老渔夫，虽然老了，倒霉、失败；但他仍旧坚持努力，而能够在失败的风度上赢得胜利。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。

海明威的《老人与海》讲述了一个极为简单的故事，这是一篇让看过它的人都感动其中、感悟其中的故事：一个名叫桑提亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼。在一无所获的84天后钓到了一条奇大无比的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还大两英尺的一条大鱼。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，结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了，老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。

也许，书中的老渔夫不是最后的胜利者，因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼，但最终还是让鲨鱼吃了，他只带着鱼骨上岸，可是他始终没有向大海、向大马林鱼、向鲨鱼妥协，他其实是一个敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者。

在茫茫黑夜的巨浪中，弱小的人类与强大的自然在奋勇抗争，如同面对命运莫测的人生，可以消灭的是肉体，不可以征服的是意志和精神。清晨归来，老人并非一无所有，战胜自然，战胜自我而获得的生命自由就是他胜利的象征。

无可否认，只要是人就都会有缺陷。当一个人承认了这个缺陷并努力去战胜它而不是去屈从它的时候，无论他能否最终战胜自身的这个缺陷，他都是一个胜利者，因为他已经战胜了自己对缺陷的妥协，他是自己勇气和信心的胜利者。老渔夫就是敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者。从世俗胜利观的角度看，老渔夫不是最后的胜利者，因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼，但是最终大马林鱼还是让鲨鱼吃了，他只是带着大马林鱼的白骨架子回到了岸上，也就是说，鲨鱼才是胜利者。可是，在理想主义者眼里，老渔夫就是胜利者，因为他始终没有向大海没有向大马林鱼，更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降。

人性是强悍的，人类本身有自己的限度，但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战，超越它们，这个限度才一次次扩大，一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前。在这个意义上，老渔夫桑地亚哥这样的英雄，不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败，都是值得我们永远敬重的。“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!”作者海明威是这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。

当我们读到在大海中苦苦鏖战的老人和拼死也要活口的鱼类的时候，我们愿意相信这就是活着之所以应该活着的价值，证明自身存在的价值，对于年轻人以及中年人来说更应该多从这个角度来理会本书的内涵，奋斗可能没有结果，可能一切都会是一场空空的“骨架”，但是，有一点我们必须承认，奋斗的过程是何其令人赞赏?正像某书评作家解读《西游记》中的孙悟空一样，读者最喜欢的还是西行中的孙行者，而不是已经修成正果的斗战胜佛!

人生就如一片汪洋，很宽，也很危险。它可以把你推向一个高度，也会瞬间让你失去自己所有的幸福。我们为了保留这一丝幸福，会努力地向浪尖奔去，用我们的满腔热血化解有时愤怒的海洋。要知道，一个好渔人，是拥有桑提亚哥的意志和精神的。

我想：人生即是海洋，时而波涛汹涌，时而风平浪静。在风里你可以感受坚毅，在浪里你可以感受激昂!这些都是过程带给我们的快乐和痛苦!

The Scarlet Letter offers an extraordinary insight into the norms and behavior of the 17th century if American Puritan society.The basic conflicts and problems of its main characters,however,are familiar to readers in the present.The female protagonist,has borne a child out of wedlock and has been jailed for over three months and sentenced to wear a symbol of her adultery,a scarlet “A” on her dress at all times.It concerns about the moral,emotional and psychological effect of the sin on people in general.It’s not simply a love story or a story of sin.The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses the scarlet letters to symbolize the harshness of Puritan society,showing how they brand sinners for life.

The story happened in Boston about 200 years ago.It narrates love affairs between three persons.The punished woman.Hester Prynne and his husband.Who called himself Roger Chillingworth .He is an old misshapen man and a doctor.Hester does not love him at all.Another man is a young minister,Dimmesdale,who has a high position among ministers and is highly respected among his people in town.Hester and Dimmesdale love each other.But their love is forbidden in that time .It is sinful.Due to this,Hester is punished by society with a letter A on her chest,which considered an evil,a shame.

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.

我曾经读过很多书，如：《爱的教育》、《鲁滨逊飘流记》、《猜猜我有多爱你》，但是，最让我能学到知识的是《老人与海》。

《老人与海》这本书讲述了一个老人与一个孩子之间的纯洁、挚真的友谊，还有很多老人出海时遇到的经历。每页的左下角都会把书上讲到的海底生物介绍一遍，外形、习性、喜好都会写出来，让我长了不少关于海底生物的知识。

这本书我读了许多遍，每一次读的发现、感受、懂得的道理都不同。就像第一次读，我认为老人圣地亚哥很可怜，接连84天出海打鱼都空手而归，可今天，他意外的捕到了一条巨大无比的鱼，这一遍，让我懂得了塞翁失马的道理；第二次，我觉得圣地亚哥很顽强，独自与凶猛的鲨鱼展开了搏斗，这一遍，我懂得了：当独自面对困难时，必须坚持到底和“人可以被毁灭，却不可以被打败”的不屈精神。后来我才得知，坚强勇敢，与困难斗争下去正是本书的精髓所在。

我爱书，就像饥饿的人扑在松软美味的面包上。

这个寒假，我读了一本书叫《老人与海》这本书塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。古巴的一个名叫圣地亚哥的老渔夫，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。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了，老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。老人虽然失败了，但他在与鱼斗争的过程中表现出了超常的毅力和勇气，表现了一种不可被征服的精神上的胜利，他可以说是一个顶天立地的大丈夫。

书中通过对老人与鲨鱼斗智斗勇的场面，描写细腻，引人入胜。作者从多个角度描绘了鲨鱼的凶狠狡猾。老人拼尽全力为了保住自己好不容易捕到的一条大马林鱼。充分体现出老人无畏精神。

昨晚，我一口气读完了《老人与海》这本书。它讲的是一位白发苍苍的老人，他常年靠在大海里打渔为生，可是这一次他单独出海却钓到了一条大鱼，这条鱼比他的船还要大，老人通过与大鱼斗智斗勇终于制服了大鱼，可是却引来了成群结队的鲨鱼，在同鲨鱼的搏斗过程中，大鱼的肉都被鲨鱼吃完了，结果老人拖回去的只是一副大鱼的骨架。

看了这本书，我被老人的勇敢精神感动了。在困难面前，老人没有放弃，他迎难而上，他常常说：“一个人并不是生来就是用来打败的。”这种永不言败的精神感动并激励着我们每一个人。在我们的成长过程中，一定会遇到许多困难，我们应该向老人学习，要把所有的困难都克服了，做一个勇敢的孩子。

This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel. Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day, it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart. This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.

Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly, to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen, and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble. But Hassan is a Shia Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amirs school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amirs house. So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend? Then, what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives, and define their futures.

The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseinis deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amirs closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amirs fathers servant and a member of Afghanistans despised Hazara minority. But in 1975, on the day of Kabuls annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.

Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amirs equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth. The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shahs 40-year reign and traces the countrys fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassans orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.

The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States in 1980, Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry. Like the kite that is its central image, the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to dive to the ground. But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.

轻轻地合上《老人与海》这本书，我的心久久不能平静。

一句“一个人并不是生来要给打败的。你尽可以消灭它，可就是打不败他。”的话给了我勇于克服困难的信心和成长的启示，我将把它当作人生的座佑铭，成为我人生路上的一盏明灯。

书中描写老渔夫圣地亚哥84天没捕到鱼，但他没放弃，终于在第85天，他发现了一条1500磅的大马哈鱼。“明知不可为而为之”他跟大鱼说：“我跟你奉陪到底！”经过2天2夜的搏斗，老人获得胜利……这就是永不言败的精神，在生活中，在学习上各种困难和挫折如影随形，我们要么迎难而上，要么畏难止步。

记得有一次，我们全家趁着天气明媚去攀登九峰山。一来到山脚下，我抬头仰望这九峰山。山势陡峭，好像一不小心就要栽下来。我的心里有了想打退堂鼓的念头。爸爸看出了我的心思给我打气道：“别怕山的高度有多高，山有多陡，你就一步一步地爬，一步一步地走。”就这样坚持了下去，来到了半山腰，我浑身被汗湿透了，腿也软了，脚也痛了，肚子也饿得“咕咕”叫了，一屁股坐在路旁的大青石上，再也不想起来了。这时，爸爸又鼓励我说“行百里者半九十”，你可不能半途而废哦！”我闭上眼睛，脑海里出现了一片大海，一个倔强的老人费力地驾着小船，在风浪里颠簸，手里紧紧抓着渔竿，前方那条大鱼还在不停翻滚挣扎。“我跟你奉陪到底”老人的话仿佛通过时空的传递再一次响起在我的耳边。我猛地睁开眼睛，抬腿便向山顶走去，最终登上了山顶。

时隔多年，每当我想起这次登山的经历，总会情不自禁地想起那个孤身搏斗在大海深处的老人。人生路上，成功与失败，欢乐与沮丧，相生相伴，只有敢于拼搏，永不言败，才能涉及险滩，穿过荆棘，走向理想的彼岸，才能收获成功，实现价值。

《老人与海》这本书让我一生受用。

轻舟一片，在一望无际的大海边缘，一位白发苍苍的老人孤独的身影置身于小轻舟中。这个平凡的老人，就是世界名著《老人与海》的主角。圣地亚哥老人给我的第一眼印象就是“他消瘦憔悴，在勃颈上有很深的皱纹。在腮帮上还有许多的黑斑。”但是，在我读完《老人与海》之后，我不觉得他在是一个平凡的老人了。

圣地亚哥老人，以捕鱼为生，却有一次84天没有捕到任何一条鱼，但是，饥肠辘辘的老人并没有放弃。他凭着自己坚定的信念与高超的技术，在一无所获的84天后，终于钓到了一只巨大无比的马林鱼。老人的船拖着马林鱼，走了很远很远，漂泊了两天两夜，经历了前所未有的奇妙经历。他奋力一搏，刺死了马林鱼，拴在船上，却不料遇到了一头饥饿的鲨鱼，鲨鱼把马林鱼给吃了，留给老人的只有鱼骨……

作者为什么要让老人失败，按书中老人曾经说过的一句话“一个人并不是生来就被打败的，人尽可以被毁灭，却不能被打败。”我想这就是作者想要告诉我们的吧。其实在读书的同时，我更是感受到了什么叫做幸福。一个人在做什么事情的时候，并非到了最后成功的时刻才是幸福。其实有些幸福就藏于追求之中。在老人身上我们发现了一种敢于追求梦想，敢于面对挫折的勇气。这是我们值得学习的。

在五年级的时候，我读了一本书，名叫《老人与海》。对于这本书，我真的是爱不释手，百读不厌。

《老人与海》主要讲一个名为桑提亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼，在一无所获的8天后钓到一条硕大无比的马林鱼。这是老人从没有见过也没有听过的大鱼，这条鱼长约8英尺，体重约一千五百磅。鱼大劲儿也大，拖着小船游荡了两天两夜，但最终还是被老人刺死了，大马林鱼的血腥味引来了四条大鲨鱼。老人与它们展开了搏斗，最终四条鲨鱼被杀死。谁知，老人还没喘回了气，一大群鲨鱼出现了。老渔夫与鲨鱼殊死拼搏，但最终大马林还是被鲨鱼吃掉了肉，带回家的只剩下一架光秃秃的鱼骨。

也许书中的老渔夫并不是最后的胜利者，因为虽然先前老人战胜了大马林鱼，但最后大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃掉了，他只带着鱼骨上岸，可是他并没有向大海，向大马林鱼，向鲨鱼妥协。他其实是一个敢于向自信和勇气挑战的胜利者。

读了《老人与海》我若有所思。主人公为自己的理想，拼搏过，奋斗过，努力过，难道他不算胜利者吗？老人那种坚持不懈、永不放弃的精神令我惭愧，因为我是一个知难而退、轻易放弃的人。只要遇到我不会做的题目我总是空在那儿，不去管了。当我读完这本书，我被震撼了，立志要改掉半途而废的缺点。

人生的道路非常漫长、艰难，而且充满坎坷，但只要自己永不言弃地以一颗自信的心去面对挑战，那么你就是胜者。我坚信自己将来，只要坚持不懈，永不言弃的去面对挑战，我也是一定是生活的强者。

——my thoughts after reading Joan of Arc

Sunshine shines over the statue in Orleans. The ordinary but famous girl named Joan is riding on her horse, smiling and looking down at the land that she has loved and fought on. She is the heroine of France, the saint from heaven. Her influences shine over every person’s heart, and I am deeply impressed by her story.

When Louis XIII was the king, the British and the Burundians invaded France and wanted to have the northern part of France. Joan helped French people coronate their new king, Louis XIV, getting almost all the invaded land back with the help of three saints. But after that, she was caught by the Burundians and was burnt on a cross by her enemy. This is the famous story about Joan, the saint. From a village girl to a national heroine, she only used a few years. How could Joan of Arc do that? I wonder.

Someone says the saints have chosen her and the God has given her power. But actually the real virgin doesn’t exist, From the birth of Jesus Christ in the first century, people have controlled the Christianity. I think the religion has become a tool between people. This kind of opinion about the success of Joan must be wrong.

Someone said, Joan had this wonderful success because of her confidence and will. I quite agree with this opinion. Because there aren’t any virgins in the world, so I think the appearance of the saints was only in Joan’s mind, actually nothing special happened to Joan. I think the things which really mattered were Joan’s thoughts. In my opinion, Joan must have some military ability to lead the whole army, because of her unusual image, Joan became more confident to the success. It let Joan had the will to be successful. So the success before did not happen by accident,. After some battles, Joan said that she had lost her support from the saints, but actually this didn’t mind. The more important thing was that she had lost her confidence and will, so she lost the battle at last.

So I think confidence and will are just like the foundation of success. All the success depends on them.

In the real world, confidence and will is always very important. During the XX Athens Olympic Games, Li Ting and Sun Tiantian have won the gold medal for the women’s double in the tennis game. It was the first time our anthem playing on the tennis court. Some medium says that they have won by chance. It was only a fairy tale. But I don’t think so. Actually they have won because of their believing in themselves, because they have confidence and will, so they have created a fairy tale in Greece. Their confidence and will have made the success, not by accident.

In our daily life, we must have confidence and will as well. Before the test we need to be confident to our actual strength or we’ll not give full play to our initiative. We need to be confident when we are speaking in public or others will not remember you among all the speakers. We need to have will in studying or we’ll not learn things solidly. We need to have will in our daily life or we’ll give up the things we are doing now. If we have confidence and will in our daily life, then I believe you’ll live brighter.

我十分爱读《老人与海》，因为在这本书中有许多令我思绪万千的好句子。

最使我印象深刻的就是作者在描写老人屏住呼吸，等待大鱼上钩时的心理：人们常说好的愿望不能挂在嘴边，老念叨着就不应验了。的确，美好的愿望不可常说，因为那样，你的精力就会花费在口头上而不是行动中。这会使你在朝着愿望奔跑的路上出现数不清的坎坷、障碍，阻挡你前进的脚步。更何况，取得成功本来就不是什么容易的事。

事实上也是这样，你想取得优异的成绩，就不该整天夸夸其谈，而应该沉下心去努力奋斗，脚踏实地地一步步朝自己愿望迈进。前者与后者相比，后者必定是最有方法而且最有可能成功的。再者说，你万万不可总是生活在美好而又虚幻的愿望中，不管怎样，它还都只是个不存在的东西，就像一颗奢求成功的种子，没有这些其他的辅助工作，如：温暖的阳光、滋润的甘露、肥沃的泥土……是永远不可能实现的，即使它拥有大树的命，也终将是一颗一事无成的种子。

努力不是靠嘴说的，愿望必须靠你自己的双手来完成，让梦启航！

《雾都孤儿》是狄更斯第一部社会小说，小说中“奥利弗要求添粥”一节已被编入多种英语教科书中。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感，希望对你有帮助。

Here I am sitting on a couch alone thinking about what I have just finished reading with tears of sadness filling my eyes and fire of indignation filling my heart which revived my exhausted soul that has already been covered by the cruelty and the selfishness of the secular world for a long time. It is truly what I felt after reading Oliver Twist written by the prominent British author Charles Dickens.

The resonance between me and the book makes me feel not only the kindness and the wickedness of all the characters in the novel but what this aloof society lacks and what I lack deep inside. These supreme resources I’m talking about right now are somewhat different from minerals oil that we usually mention. They’re abstract like feelings and some kinds of spiritual stimulation that all of us desire anxiously from one another —— love and care.

Those charitable figures whom Dickens created in the novel are really what we need in life. They showed love and care to others just as the gentle rain from the sky fell upon the earth which was carved into my heart deeply.

Mr. Brownlow is one such person.

The other day he had one of his elaborate watches stolen by two skilled teenage thieves Artful Dodger and Charley Bates and thought naturally it was Oliver who was an orphan and forced to live with a gang of thieves that had done it because he was the only one near by after the theft had taken place. Being wrathful he caught Oliver and sent him to the police station where the ill-tempered unfair magistrates worked. Fortunately for him Oliver was proved innocent by one onlooker afterwards. With sympathy Mr. Brownlow took the injured poor Oliver to his own home. There Oliver lived freely and gleefully for some months as if he were Mr. Brownlow’s own son. One day however Mr. Brownlow asked Oliver to return some books to the bookseller and to send some money for the new books that he had already collected. The thief Oliver once stayed with kidnapped him. After that he disappeared in Mr. Brownlow’s life. Searching for a while Mr. Brownlow had to believe the fact that he had run away with his money. But dramatically they came across each other again a few years later. Without hesitation Mr. Brownlow took Oliver home for the second time not caring if he had done something evil.

Perhaps most of us would feel confused about Mr. Brownlow’s reaction. But as a matter of fact this is just the lesson we should learn from him. Jesus said in the Bible. “Forgive not seven times but seventy-times seven.” Why is that? Because forgiveness is our ability to remove negative thoughts and neutralize them so our energy may be spent on doing what we came here for. We cannot move forward in our future if past issues cloud our thinking. Stop put Mr. Brownlow into the list of your models. Always give people a second chance no matter what they might have done. That’s also a substantial part of loving and caring others.

Then there are Mrs. Maylie and Rose Oliver’s other benefactors. Maybe the reason they loved and cared Oliver was not because of forgiveness. In my point of view it was trust. They had faith in Oliver when he was considered to be a filthy burglar who tried to break the front door of Maylie’s at midnight. But this wasn’t how these two ladies saw the whole thing. They denied Oliver’s crime immediately and listened attentively to Oliver’s own description of his miserable life. They were deeply touched by Oliver’s strong perseverance and astonishing vitality. Accordingly they remedied Oliver’s body and heart and turned him into a different boy. He began to wear appropriate and clean suits which were tailor-made for him and receive education.

As far as we can see it is trust that helps us all live together without precaution. Sometimes trust can even lead us to miracles which we often expect to come about so why not trust? Trust yourself trust others and you’ll salute miracles every single day.

In the novel though the young Oliver again and again fell for conspiracies of those hideous thieves who tried to torture Oliver’s body and poisoned Oliver’s heart intensely he always lived on and tried hard to seek for his own life. Then I realized what supported him all through were actually beliefs. In most cases what you believe is what you’ll become. Believe that you are unlimited that you can do anything you commit to doing and when you do your accomplishments will know no bounds. You control your beliefs and that is how you ultimately control your life. It’s all dictated by your attitude.

In the final analysis love and care contain numerous forms there are love of forgiveness love of trust etc. but they all come from your beliefs in life. When someone tells you he’s deceived you forgive him anyway when someone tells you what he’s done trust him anyway and when you face adversities while chasing your dreams think about your beliefs then what hinders you will become a piece of cake in no time.

So find out “Olivers” in your life and do as Mr. Brownlow and Mrs. Maylie do: love them and care them which cost nothing but save much. They enrich those who receive without impoverishing those who give. They can be certain smallest words or actions but the memory of them sometimes last forever.

Charles Dickens said:“Love makes the world go around.” These immortal words have inspired and will keep on inspiring us to chant the melody of love and to say the prayer of care forevermore. Let us therefore enjoy life and treat other people lovingly. These principles are the roots and foundations of beliefs supporting this article and our mission together.
