《老人与海》英文读后感【精选20篇】

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

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

翻译：

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

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

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。

If a woman has even a tiny sense of dignity, she must shoulder any number of sacrifices rather than have her love varnished with venal character by asking for money from her lover. Extravagances, luxury as well as all other empery pleasures are valuelein front of love. As long as you love me, I ask for nothing else.

-------Marguerite(La Dame Aux Camellias)

Whenever I lingered over the magnificant story, I cannot help deeply touched by the bitterly sweet love, which struck the world as gentle as an April shower, as pure as a blowing snow, as heady as an old wine. It condensed a paradise into a kept woman’s heart, which caught and held us transfixed against prejudice in mind and greed in nature, , and provided a journey that brought home to us a comprehensive understanding of love.

Marguerite, as a kept woman,did not undergo the usual penalty of confronting wrinkles appeared under her eyes, the first death of a courtesans, but was endowed enough fortune to enjoy an unselfish and gorgeous love during her ephemeral life, witch came as a wonderful oasis to lead supply a new prospect in a disparate desert, appeared as a miracle medication to heal her wound in the sinful life, figured as a brisk spring to refresh and revitalize her lonely heart, and emerged as a great beacon of courage to kill all her bad habits in the past and make a firm determination to seek for a peaceful but fantastic life with her loved one.

Lingering between the words, we could completely feel how kind and dignified she was. She refused Armond although she knew he was really loved her with his soul. because of her gloomy despair of life, she did not turn up in his life as a figure who was sad, ill, gay with a giant sadder than grief, besides witch, who spit blood and spent a hundred thousand francs in a year. Touching this words, how can we avoid our zealous sympathy for her? She bickered with the marquis and drove him away from her family, because she hated and refused to be treated as merchandise. Touching her deeds, how could we deny our high respect for her? At last, she renounced all her hope and life just because another woman’s name. What she e although you may get hurt, but it is the only way you can live absolutely. But what she experienced, what she faced and what she did made her a real sublime angle and an eternal ideal woman in people’ heart.

However, no matter what devout wish, no matter what gorgeous love, or no matter what strong struggle, the society was so stone stubborn that it would never show any mercy for a kept woman. Just as Armond said, when God allow a kept woman to accept a real love, it is indeed a grant comfort, but also remorselepunishment, for the man holds the cruel authority to say to his lover, “ Your love is just a kind of commodity”, though the woman had devoted all her heart and spirits to her loves. It cannot denied that it was Marguerite’s joyous fortune to have Armond in her poor destiny, but at the same time, it is also have to be admitted that what a hopeletorture she tolerated and what a disappointed suffering she endured at the last part of her life. It was really too much to her. We even cannot tell what kind our feeling soared inside our bosom, but just happy with her, sad with her, waiting with her, wishing with her, and disappointed with her……

shall we criticize Armond for his foolish and brute deed to Marguerite as he got the same hurt by his horrible vengeance? Shall we condemn Armond, father for his selfish monologue which destroys the kind woman’s dream? Shall we judge the motionlemerchant and policemen’s actions before the dying woman?

我读了海明威的《老人与海》，它讲述了一个老人（桑提亚哥）连续84天没有捕到一鱼，终于在第85天中午钓到一条大鱼，可是他没有想到那条鱼是多么大，竟比他的小舟还长两英尺（大约60厘米），可是桑提亚哥却不服输，坚持与大鱼搏斗了两天两夜，终于将大鱼杀掉，绑在船弦上，准备带回岸上。这时意想不到的事情发生了，他与大鱼搏斗时流出了许多血，这些血引来了许多鲨鱼，尽管老人奋力抵抗，并杀死了许多条鲨鱼，却依然没有挡住鲨鱼的进攻……当老人回到岸边时，已经精疲力竭了，而那条大鱼却只剩下一颗硕大的鱼头和一条脊柱了。

老人与那条巨大的鱼斗争的情景让我十分着迷，老人沉着冷静，与大鱼周旋。那大鱼就像一个力大无穷的大力士，拖着船还可以不停的游动；可老人呢，好像完全不是他的对手，然而老人用他坚定不移的毅力、智慧的头脑以及多年捕鱼的经验和娴熟的技巧，终于战胜了那个似乎无人可抵的大鱼。故事似乎到这里就可以结束了，也应该结束了（我自认为），其实一个更大的困难才刚刚开始——他与大鱼搏斗时流出的血，吸引来了许多鲨鱼，面对这个前所未有，令人不敢想象的困难，老人没有放弃，依然用那坚定不移的毅力坦然面对，并说出了那句名言：“人不是生来就要给打败的。你尽可以消灭他，可就是打不败他。”这短短的几十个字，却蕴含了一个老人对困难无以畏惧的毅力与信心，这不是一种自我勉励，这时一句在危机来临之际，只有真正的勇者才能说的出的话。

这篇小说写的是人与大自然搏斗的故事，它的寓意是：人与处境，势力斗争会失败，然而他指出人类要勇敢的面对失败，做精神上胜利者——“一个人不是生来就要给打败的，你尽可以消灭他，可就是打不败他。”而人的真正胜利也只能是精神上的胜利。人在物质上无论取得多大成就，都不能赢得我们崇高的敬意；只有精神和气魄的胜利，才使我们感动，使我们为他悲壮落泪。整篇文章其实就是人和自然的决斗，是人战胜自我，征服自我，超越极限的争斗。老人其实就是人类的化身，海是人类征服的一切。人类的不完美，让人类追求，人类的追求又成就着人类的完美，人性的光辉体现在这部巨著中，它诠释了人活着应有的品格，人活着为了什么，那就是：人应该是乐观的，不屈服的对待一切；人应该是有耐心的，一切诸如贫穷、饥饿、战争都会过去，面对困难永不言败；人应该是多情的、情感生爱，对对手的赞美和爱，能增强征服困难的勇气和乐趣；人应该是勇敢的、无畏无惧的、不屈服与困境的，困境就会退却。人生的道路漫长艰难，而且充满坎坷，但只要自己勇敢顽强的以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战，将永远是一个真正的胜利者！人生就像一条小船，旅途不会永远风平浪静，只要我们能战胜巨大的海浪，就一定能使向自己心中的终点。

《老人与海》是一部历时一个世纪的巨作，它告诉了我们人生哲学中的诸多道理，同时就我看来，其中也不乏蕴涵着一些程序方面的重大道理。

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!

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.

你知道百折不挠的意思么？百姓和不挠的意思就是无论受到多少次挫折，毫不动摇退缩。而老人圣地亚哥就是这样的人。

老人圣地亚哥的岁数已经很大了，可他的眼睛里，依然闪烁着永不服输的光芒。虽然他知道，他可能很快就要破产了，可他还有勇气去捕鱼。老人已经八十四天没有捕到鱼了，而他没有放弃，也并没有屈服于命运，而是在努力更改它的命运。在第八十五天，没有水，没有食物，没有武器，没有助手，左手抽筋的情况下，他仍然把鱼钩上来了。正是老人身上的那种不屈不挠的品质让他不会轻言放弃，让他对自己有信心，对幸福有渴望，让他遇到困难，不退缩，而是迎难而上。

具有这样百折不挠品质的人，还有我非常欣赏的美国著名女作家海伦·凯勒。她在很小的时候因为生病引起高烧，导致失明和聋哑，可她仍然没有放弃自己，而是用比一般人多倍的努力来训练自己。最后在老师的帮助下和自己的努力下，考入了哈佛大学，当上了著名的女作家。前几天我去看了一台全国残障儿童全国比赛暨颁奖晚会，让我印象最深的节目是由聋哑儿童表演的舞蹈“千手观音”。这个节目需要音乐和演员之间的默契配合，对于我们都很难完成，更何况是聋哑人？她们肯定失败过很多次，只有百折不挠、坚持不懈，才能成就最后的成功。这些，和老人圣地亚哥不是很像吗？

在生活中，我们作为学生也会面对很多困难，其实这些困难比起圣地亚哥、海伦凯勒和那些残障儿童，还是要容易一些。所以，我们更应该珍惜我们的生活，积极面对困难和挑战，不要消沉。长风破浪会有时，直挂云帆济沧海，相信我们总会成功的。

《老人与海》故事十分简单，写了一个老人在连续八十四天没钓到鱼，掉到了一条大马林鱼，但是被鱼拖了三天，最后老人把它给杀了，但是回去的时候，那鱼被鲨鱼吃的所剩无几。我感到老人是勇敢的，他不但杀死大鱼，并赶走鲨鱼。

文中曾提到老人曾与一个最强壮的人比扳手腕，经过一天一夜的较量，老人获胜了，这说明老人不仅勇敢，更有坚强的意志、毅力。所以老人他应该收到我们的尊重、敬仰，更应该使得我们的鼓励。老人与海的读后感老人与海读后感800字老人与海读后感400字

老人，不像老人，像钢铁，有那样的意志；孩子，不像孩子，像海中狡黠的鲨，以谦逊和力量发家；而大海，似乎也变了，少了些平静，添了几多暗夜挣扎。

老人捉鱼，守护自己的阵地，决不让自己松懈，谨记自己的目标，不顾一切的努力。可我们呢？坚持有几分？信念有几分？是否愿意舍弃，来追求那一片属于自己的天地？

老人与鱼同行，艰难万险，几次三番鲨鱼来侵袭，老人挺住了，勇敢而顽强的活了下来，鱼，那个属于老人的巨大财富呢？消失了。千辛万苦之后，所劳所得付之东流，岂不惋惜？但老人清楚，自己还有信念，信念不垮，老人也不垮。而我们，失小则气馁，失大则绝望，实属不该，但谁让我们的信念不那么稳固呢？我们该自食其果的。

老人捕鱼之事风平浪静之后，还有谁注意着老人的心理，老人的表情，为老人无私，为老人慷慨？我们是否又可以做到，某种坚持，某种信念，挽救了某些人。

读完《野性的呼唤》这本书，我深深感受到了动物的思想和感情。

"The call of the wild" after reading this book, I deeply felt the animals thoughts and feelings.

小狗巴克生活在南方，过习惯了悠闲自得的生活，养成了温柔的性格，但是，这样的日子没过多久，因为，有一天园丁把巴克拐卖到了北方。它被想得到金子的人用作了雪橇狗，拉雪橇。祖先们原始的野性在它身上渐渐发出。巴克渐渐变得残酷，它让所有的和它一块儿拉雪橇的狗们都顺从了它，然后把狗群的首领咬死，自己当了首领。后来的主人桑顿对巴克很好，巴克也和桑顿过的像一家人一样亲密。可是后来，桑顿被河水淹死了。巴克一点儿牵挂都没了，就跑到森林里当了狼。

The dog back to live in the south, too accustomed to leisurely life, develop a gentle character, but this time, not long before, because, one day the gardener to buck abducted to the north. It is to want to obtain the gold used for the sled dog sled. Ancestors of the original wild on it began to make.

Later, master Thornton is good to buck, buck and Thornton had as a family intimacy. But then, Thornton was drowned. Buck was worried about not, went to the forest as a wolf.

Loyalty and gratitude to Thornton like a family intimacy. Thornton is in danger, Barker bravely to save the master. Although he is just a dog, but its like people have feelings, full of ideas.

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

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

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

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

今天，我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》，这本书给我留下了深刻的印象，我十分佩服书中老渔夫的意志，他让我懂得了一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。

《老人与海》描写的是一个年近六旬的老渔夫，在一次单身出海打鱼时，钓到了一条大鱼，却拉不上来。老渔夫同大鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼，虽然明知难以取胜，但仍不放弃。后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食，但老人不愿这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼的骨头带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。

当我读到爷爷与鲨鱼进行激烈的搏斗时，我真为爷爷担心，可是爷爷，总是保持着乐观的精神去面对一些极大的困难，看到这里，我不由得想起自己。每当我遇到了一些困难时，总是觉得很不顺心，觉得很烦，很想逃避现实。再看看桑提阿果爷爷，不管遇到任何困难也毫不退缩，而是勇敢地去面对!

做人也应该这样，不要一幅贪生怕死的样子，要对自己有信心。即使我们遇到重重困难，也绝不应该让它给打倒，应该勇敢地去消灭它。

我们是祖国的未来，应该像桑提阿果爷爷一样胸怀大志，去追求更好，更大的目标。我相信，在我的努力下，我一定会变得像桑提阿果爷爷那样勇敢，那样勇于拼搏。

每到星期日，读书是我最喜爱的事。今天，我向大家推荐一本书，书的主人公有着钢铁般的意志，这本世界名著叫《老人与海》，我对这本书百读不厌，爱不释手。

有一次，妈妈带我去新华书店买书，我一直想买一本《老人与海》，这次终于可以实现我的愿望了。买了书，我很兴奋，一回到家，就赶紧拿起这本书，准备大饱眼福了。

这是一本冒险小说。翻开书，才读了几行，就对文中的老人产生了敬意。

小说的主人公桑提阿果，是一位普普通通但具有不屈不挠、永不言败的硬骨头精神的老人。他常年独自在海上打鱼，有一次他钓到了一条大鱼，但是在返回的路上遇到了成群的鲨鱼，老人使出浑身的力气和鲨鱼搏斗，最终打败了鲨鱼，安全地回到了岸上。

我很喜欢《老人与海》的作者海明威说的一句话：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的……”是的，事实的确如此，一个人如果具有不屈不挠、不怕困难的钢铁精神，他会在生活中的磨难里做出不屈不挠的斗争，尽自己最大的努力，战胜挫折，成为一个英雄。

我想象中的桑提阿果爷爷是这样子的：身穿着补丁的衣服和裤子，背上挂着一个渔网，手上拿着一把渔叉，可有趣呢！他不仅有着大无畏冒险精神，而且是一位非常勤劳的劳动者，我真的很欣赏他。

这个寒假，我读了一本书叫《老人与海》这本书主要讲述了一位老人常年独安闲海上打鱼。有一次他掉到了一条大鱼，但是在返回的路上碰到了成群的鲨鱼。老人使出浑身解数和鲨鱼搏斗，鲨鱼把能吃的肉都吃完了，结果老人拖回去的只是一副大鱼骨架。

在生活中，我们碰到了困难，也许会迎难而上；但也会畏难止步。比如说张海迪阿姨，她小时候双脚就已经残废，但是她并没有向挫折屈服，而是以积极、乐观、自信的态度去挑战挫折。她天天把词语贴在床头、墙壁上、厨房……经过张海迪阿姨的不懈努力，她终于战胜了挫折，而且还获得了荣誉，为祖国做出了自己的贡献。鲁迅先生曾经说过：“伟大的胸怀，应该表现出这样的气概—用笑脸迎接悲惨的命运，用自信的勇气来应付自己的不幸。”是啊！当我们碰到厄运和不幸时，与其埋怨命运的不公，还不如鼓起勇气，振作精神，以刚毅的态度与厄运抗争。老人不也是这样的吗？老人没有被任何困难压倒，他尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。老人也说过医生令我最难忘的话：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你可以消灭他，却不能打败他。”当你碰到困难时，你一定不要被挫折压倒啊！一个人的一生中不可能没有失败，但我们假如能够从失败中获取有益的经验，发现成功的曙光，把失败看成是同乡成功的必经之路。那才是从失败中获取的最大的收获。毛泽东主席曾经说过：“失败是成功之母。”曾任美国总统的林肯一生遭碰到无数次失败和打击。然而，他英勇卓绝。他从1832年失业后，他经过了13次竞选，然而有12次的竞选是失败的。他在最后一次，也就是1860年的时候林肯终于当选为美国总统，他终于成功了，这是一件多么令人兴奋的事情，他的努力终于得到了回报。

我们碰到挫折时，应该要勇敢面对，在困难面前迎难而上。我们有了这种奋不顾身、不怕困难的勇气，就有了征服困难的精神力量。正如歌德所说的：“你若失去了金钱—你只失去了一点儿；你若失去了荣誉—你就失掉了许多；你若失去了勇气—你就把一切都失去了。”

现在我们努力起来，他们永不言弃的精神感动并激励着我们每个人吧！

[寒假作文《老人与海》读后感

一只水母浮动在水面上，透明的身躯折射出绚烂的阳光，老人(圣地亚哥)酣睡船头，载着被鲨鱼撕咬后所剩无几的鱼骨，驶向临近家的海岸……他光辉的战绩使每个人赞叹，阖上眼，奔入梦境，梦见一只威武的狮子……

整个故事到这里就结束了，轻轻合扣上《老人与海》这本书，意犹未尽，掩卷沉思，老人瘦骨嶙峋、不肯屈服的身影浮现在我的脑海，他的颈背上刻着深深的皱纹，褐斑布满了他的双颊，除了一双眼睛，他浑身上下都很苍老。那双眼睛乐观而且永不言败，色彩跟大海一样。

《老人与海》是美国海明威的代表作，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续八十四天没捕到鱼的情况下，终于独自钓上了一条大马林鱼，将其拖了三天筋疲力尽，被他杀死了绑在小船的一边，在归程中一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，最后回港时只剩下鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。

我想他是失败的，但在某种意义上说他又是成功了的。

前八十四天，老人的鱼篓里空空如也，他站在海岸边等待第八十五天的来临——那个有好运的日子。他满载着希望而去，驶向海的远方，饥饿劳累过后，他始终不肯放弃那条大鱼，当他的大鱼被鲨鱼吃得仅剩下一副骨骼时，他自问：“可是，是什么把你打败的呢?”“什么也不是……是我走得太远啦。”老人承认了自己的失败，却又绝对相信自我的力量。相信他纵然失败依然勇敢无比，相信在精神上并没有败给鲨鱼，因为被消灭的是鲨鱼，而不是自己。

独自思索了很久，细细品味这本书的寓意所在，作品背景是在两次世界大战和西班牙战争之后，人们还未从世界大战的恶梦中醒来，幻灭、失落等种种迷惘困扰着人们。战后的社会是一片混乱、衰败的景象，战争和社会的种种荒诞现象给海明威的精神和身体上都带来了很深的创伤，可谓九死一生。我想了很久，觉悟到，马林鱼象征人生的理想，鲨鱼象征无法摆脱的悲剧命运，大海象征变化无常的人类社会，而梦见的狮子则为勇武健壮、仇视邪恶，能创造奇迹的象征，老人则是人类中的勇于与强大势力搏斗的“硬汉子”代表，他那捕鱼的不幸遭遇象征人类总是与厄运不断抗争。

“海洋是仁慈的，十分美丽的，”她给予了老人一条“比小船还长两英尺”的大马林鱼。可是海洋又是残忍的——那此成群结队而来鲨鱼夺走了他辛苦追捕到的大鱼，粉碎了他的“光荣”。老人与大海的关系是既依存于大海又要与大海斗争。大海是他的生活场所和战斗场所，也将成为他的最后归宿。

原来老人虽已年迈，却始终不肯屈服，正如他所说：“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的，人尽可以被毁灭，但却不能被打败。”

很兴奋也很沉重的读完了文学大师海明威的经典之作＜＜老人与海＞＞，兴奋的是为老人那种不言败的精神而内心澎湃，沉重的是感觉到那浩瀚的大海就向自己所要面对的现实生活一样，而我的使命就是要成为那个老人！.The real life I want to face, and my mission is to be that old man!

“他是一个独自在湾流中一条小船上钓鱼的老人，至今已去了八十四天，一条鱼也没逮住。”如果是我遇到这种情况，就别说是84天了，我想一个星期独自在湾流中，在一条小船上都是让我难以忍受的，更何况是一条能解决温饱问题的鱼都没逮住，老人的耐心真可以与＜＜狼图腾＞＞中的狼相媲美。

“帆上用面粉袋片打了些补丁，收拢后看来象是一面标志着永远失败的旗帜。”“老人的身上的一切都是古老的，除了那双眼睛象海水一般的蓝，是愉快不肯认输的。”永远失败的旗子与向海一般的眼睛形成了鲜明的对比，就好似生活给了我们残酷，但我们也要用自己的信念去战胜它。

海是静默的，孤独的，任何一个人孤立在这孤独的中央都会被它无情地吞噬，但是一个老人却平安地回来了。也许是他那坚定的信念使海水变得不那么静默，孤独。故事中老人的经历就像是人的一生经历着各个阶段，同时也诠释着“人可以被毁灭，却不能被打败。

”这句话的真谛。来人出海了，他不知道将会发生什么，也不知道会有多少收获，他仅仅是出海了。就如初生的婴儿一样，带着无数对未来的不知与对未来的向往。这种感受我们都经历过，却已然忘却，就像老人从未在与鱼搏斗中回想过她出海时的情景一样，所以说，开始总是容易被人遗忘。

开始虽然是容易被遗忘的，但是它毕竟开始了。老人的船缓缓向海里驶去，就像是人在慢慢成长一样。老人钓到巨鱼时的兴奋和人第一次接触某一事物时的兴奋简直是一摸一样。这种兴奋中夹带着喜悦和对未来的憧憬。

这时老人你已经准备好了一切但是同时他却感到了些许的无助与对未来的不知引发的一种难以言喻的情感。当然，在人初涉社会时这种情感是一定会出现的。进入社会的人会发现社会并不像他们想象的那么和谐，自己也并不像想象的那么一帆风顺。故事中的老人也一样，他本想用一次的爆发去征服顽劣的大鱼，但是事败的事实预示了他面临的困难。

面对大鱼，他从未言弃，从未屈服，用不屈的精神与顽强的毅力将其击败，这是怎样的一种信念啊！而现在的人却缺乏这种信念，虽说不是现在的所有人都轻言放弃，但是也有不少人在工作后就怨声载道，列尽不如意之事向朋友倾吐苦水。我认为与其抱怨与逃避倒不如欣然面对，就像老人那样，用自己的智慧自己的力量以及自己可利用的一切来战胜大鱼。老人在与大鱼搏斗是说了一句话：“人可以被毁灭，却不能被打败。”使我感触很深。

是啊，人终归是会死亡的，但是人却克服了重重的困难，度过了一次次的危机，在这充满竞争的社会中扎稳根立稳足。尤其是意志坚定的人，他们比其他人更要“根深蒂固”。老人最终回到了出航的渔村，也就是回到了起点，他仍然是一无所有，但是他却经历了。他带回了鱼骨，也带回了另人羡慕的与敬佩的捕鱼事迹。

难道这不好吗？有些人虽然生前有万贯家财，但是去世后却未留给后人一丝可以追忆的往事，这种“来也空空，去也空空”的人生估计是不被大家所认同的吧。海是静默的孤独的，而社会是喧闹的繁华的。与大鱼的较量，与鲨鱼的搏斗，定然打破了海的寂静。然而海却自私地将能留下的全留下了，但它却留不下老人的记忆与他的经历，因为这已经发生了。

社会中的人也一样，尽管自己最终一无所有，但是你经历过了感受过了，你留下了值得拥有的回忆，这是再足够不过了。因为没有人可以将它从你的手上将其夺走，它将永远属于你。结果固然重要但不要忽略过程，要记住，做事要向老人那样有着坚忍不拔的毅力与恒心，切不可自我否定，半途而废。

On summer vacation of this year, I studied in novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway , famous writer of U.S.A. ,. I admire the old fishermans will in the novel very much, he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed . What the novel is described is an old fisherman almost the sixty years old, when go to sea and fish alone once, have angled to a big fish, but can not draw. After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days, just find this is a big Malins fish which exceeds several times of ones own fishing boat, though know perfectly well that it is very difficult to win , does not give up yet.

是一部历时一个世纪的巨作，它告诉了我们人生哲学中的诸多道理，同时就我看来，其中也不乏蕴涵着一些程序方面的重大道理。

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。

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!

前一段时间，我阅读了老人与海这本书，颇有感触。

书中主要继续了老人连续八十四天没有打到鱼，在第八十五至八十六天，终于捕到一条大马林鱼，但是马林鱼的血水使老人的小船变成了所有鲨鱼追踪的对象，老人为了保住大马林鱼，不断地用手中的渔、匕首、棍棒、船舵驱赶鲨鱼，可悲剧还是发生了，抵达岸边时，大马林鱼已被撕咬的只剩一根雪白的脊骨，任人丢弃到垃圾堆中。我明白，文中不断地描写老人出海捕鱼的过程，其实也是在侧面描写人生，大马林鱼象征着梦想得到的目标与追求，鲨鱼是追求梦想过程中的种种艰难险阻和邪恶势力，大海则是瞬息万变、千姿百态的人生。这本书让我认识到了老人勇于面对困难、挫折、逆境、死亡的这种英勇无畏的硬汉性格，使我明白了在面对邪恶时，要用自己手中所有，去尽可能地驱逐黑暗，换来光明。纵使一次又一次的受伤，但是，这使人变得无懈可击；纵使暴风雨后也许并不会出现彩虹，但这是我们所经受历练的见证！我们的精神不敏泯，意志不绝！

这本书教会了我许多许多，他将激励着我，阅读更多这样的好书，在人生的道路上砥砺奋进！
