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

"One million pounds" is about a poor, honest man, that is, the *** of this story has received a pair of brothers, the letter sent to him inside one million pounds. The brothers had made a bet, gambling, if a poor, honest people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, he will be what kind of results? Brother that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money was his own, will be subject to other peoples doubts, and even the banks do not let him save money. His younger brother that he would lead a very good, and therefore they have the brothers of one million pounds will be loaned to check the poorest people, and spent 30 days abroad. Did not expect that during this period of time, people have the rare fortune suddenly rich, has tried to cozy up to him, from the free food, buy clothes, free accommodation, like a beggar, like to please him, and continue to improve his social status until the exception of the highest outdoor Wang Duke on! Not only that, he also has been a good wife and 30,000 pounds of bank interest, and finally from two brothers got a very good job. Lived a very, very happy life.

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

马克吐温著的短篇小说《百万英镑》是一部很好的作品。文章对“金钱就是一切”“金钱是万能的”的想法进行了讽刺，揭穿了资本主义社会的丑恶面容。

《百万英镑》是讲一个贫穷、诚实的人，也就是这个故事的主人公收到了一对兄弟的信，信里面送给了他一百万英镑。原来这对兄弟打了一个赌，赌假如一个贫穷、诚实的人收到天上掉下的一百万英镑，他会有怎样的结果?哥哥以为他会饿死，因为他无法证明这些钱是他自己的，会受到别人的怀疑，连银行都不会让他存钱。弟弟则以为他会过得很好，于是他们兄弟俩将一百万英镑的支票借给了这个贫穷的人，并出国呆了三十天。没想到在这段时间内，人们对这位突然暴富的罕见富翁，竟拼命地拉拢他，从免费吃饭，买衣服，到免费住宿，一个个像乞丐一样讨好他，并不断提高他的社会地位，一直到了除王室外最高的公爵之上!期末总结不光如此，他还得到了一位好妻子和三万英镑的银行利息，最后还从两兄弟那儿得到了一份很好的工作。过着非常非常幸福的生活。

看到这儿，我很羡慕这位如此“幸运”的主人公，但同时我又想：人们之所以讨好他，不就是因为当时人们太看重金钱了吗?拜金主义是可耻的，不劳而获更不应该!金钱不是万能的，世界上还有很多比金钱更重要的东西……

Coyotes taught them all kinds of tactics, lifestyle and pasture breeding. If there is no the prairie Wolf, Im afraid the whole Mongolian will disappear from the world.

Now, read this, you will have one big question mark! Dont ask me, as long as open the book, the question mark will one satisfactory solution!

在茫茫书海中，我终于找到了一本合我心意的好书，它就是姜戎之作——《狼图腾》。

我读过杰克。伦敦《热爱生命》中顽强挣扎的病狼，我读过西顿《狼王洛玻》中威猛勇敢的狼王，可《狼图腾》却是我看的第一本描写、研究草原狼的奇书。这部作品生动刻画了草原狼的一举一动，草原狼是个奇特的物种，聪明智慧而又勇敢团结，它是纵横草原强大的蒙古兵的老师。草原狼教会了他们各种战术、生活方式和牧场的繁殖。如果没有草原狼，恐怕整个蒙古民族就会从世界上消失。

如今，蒙古铁骑和蒙古狼群纵横驰骋、自由穿行的游牧草原已经一点点、一点点逐渐的从人们脑海中消失淡化。如果不是此书，曾经令人记忆深刻的草原狼，也会渐渐在我们生活中淡化，像灰尘一样消失。

《狼图腾》是一本非常值得一看的书，不但写了令人害怕的狼群，还写了蒙古大草原的美丽景色。那里美如仙境，羊群在茂盛的草丛中吃草，不时，去湖里喝水。绿树成荫，鲜花盛开。要说景好、树美、花香，还得说是姜戎先生写得好!

本书还有一个非常经典的地方：就是情节生动，亲切自然。作者并没有用华丽的词藻堆砌，而是按自己的真实想法，自然的去写，非常感人。文中的主人公——北京知青陈阵，经历了许多事：他掏过狼崽，养过小狼，与狼战斗过，也与狼缠绵过，并与他亲爱的小狼和猎狗共担苦难，经历了青年时代痛苦的“精神游牧”。

好了，读到这里，你们也会有一个个大大的问号了吧!不用问我，只要打开这本书，问号就会一个个圆满的解决!

In 1872, Phileas Fogg, an English gentleman, bets 20,000 pounds that he can travel around the world in 80 days. Remember, there were no airplanes or other types of high speed travel.

Fogg and his servant, Passepourtout, leave from London, England and travel acrofour continents on their trip. In India, they meet a beautiful princeand save her life. She joins them on the journey and falls in love with Phileas Fogg.

They are followed around the world by Detective Fix, who has mistaken Fogg for a bank robber. He causes the group lots of trouble and delays, and finally arrests Fogg on the last day of the journey.

The trip was also delayed by storms at sea, unfinished railroad tracks, and an Indian attack in the American West.

Do you think Phileas Fogg and his friends made it around the world in 80 days?

With all of the delays, the group thought they arrived back at London five minutes too late. However, the next day they discovered they were one day ahead of schedule. This was because they had travelled all the way around the world in an eastward direction, ma-ki-ng them gain an extra day as they travelled acrodifferent time zones.

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

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

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

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens-he believed that goodnecould conquer every difficulty. Although I don’t think goodneis omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

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

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

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

That is to say a person without goodneis destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

I felt that I was deeply fascinated by it soon after I had read it.

I first read it in a summer. I did not finish it at a single sitting. However, the moment I finished it, near midnight in a sweltering August day, with my body poured with sweat, held my breath to turn the last page over, shut the book and heaved a sigh of relief, I just could not express how I felt. All were over: trouble was over; lives were over; hopes were over. I was shocked how such a small book could contain such a complicated story. Never were wars, diseases and starvation ever nakedly exposed to me like this. The turns in plots were surprising but natural.

It was a tragedy: Just as its name suggested, everything was gone with the wind, including families’ touch, friends’ support, sweethearts’ gaze and youth with vigour. The story reminds us of valuing all we were possessing. A life lasts for a short time and anything in it lasts shorter. We always lose something unconsciously and then feel regretful when we need them later.

Characters in the story were so vivid as if they had been going to jump out of the story, as if they had been existed in the real life at first.

“Land is the only thing in the world that amounts to anything, for ‘this the only thing in this world that lasts, and don’t you be forgetting it’ this the only thing worth working for, worth fighting for——worth dying for.” Said Gerald, an Irish man who loved his soil more than his own life, let us know that life can be born out of land.

“But Scarlett, did it ever occur to you that even the most deathless love could wear out? Mine wore out, against Ashley Wilkes and your insane obstinacy that makes you hold on like a bulldog to anything you think about.”

“Scarlett, I was never one to patient pick up broken fragment glue them together and tell myself that the mended whole was as good as new. What is broken is broken——and I’d rather remember it as it was at its best than mend it and see the broken places as long as I lived.” Said Rett Butler, a man who love Scalett as much as a man can love a woman. Loving her for years before he finally got her, he loved her crazily but did not let her know it for fear of being hurt. But at last he still could not escape from hurts. “My dear, I don’t give a damn.” Look, he did not care about it at all. He was a man who disguised himself so much.

“I mustn’t bawl; I mustn’t beg. I mustn’t do anything risk his contempt. He must respect me even——even if he doesn’t love me.”

“I’ll think of it all tomorrow, at Tara. I can stand it then. Tomorrow, I’ll think some way to get him back. After all, tomorrow is another day.”

Said Scalett O’hara, the most wonderful woman I’ve ever seen. She was hard and greedy and unscrupulous, a brave, frightened, bull-headed child. Though she only thought about how to attract man’s attention and did not do anything useful before the war, she did surprise me when I read about her doings after the war. At that time, her Tara was just reduced to ashes. Everyone sketched out their hands and asked her for food. She bravely faced the reality and rebuilt Tara with her own hands. What a tough woman, I thought. Though those she loved were all gone, she was still full of hope. When Rett didn’t love her anymore and wanted to leave her, she said “I mustn’t bawl… even if he doesn’t love me.” A woman’s dignity could be seen from what she have said and done. That’s why I appreciate her.

This novel gave me too much to think about and I can not fully express myself in English. It is true that reading an origin is more vivid than the translated ones. However, my English level limits me to understand the origin well without the translated. But I will work hard in order to understand better.

The novel is my treasure, forever, because I find myself in Scarlett and find the world I live in inside the story.

That’s really an excellent novel, with an ending from which you can see hope rising from despair.

我觉得我被它深深地着迷于不久之后我读过它。

我第一次读它在夏天。我没有完成它一次。然而,当我完成它,接近午夜八月份的一个闷热的一天,与我的身体倒汗,屏住呼吸把最后一页结束,关闭这本书叹了口气,我只是无法表达我的感受。都在:麻烦结束了;生活;希望都结束了。我很震惊如此小的书如何包含这样一个复杂的故事。从来没有被战争、疾病和饥饿这样赤裸裸的暴露在我。情节出人意料但自然的转。

这是一个悲剧:正如它的名字暗示,一切都随风而逝,包括家庭,朋友的支持,情侣的目光和青春与活力。这个故事提醒我们的评估我们所拥有的全部。生活持续很短的时间内,任何时间短。我们总是在不知不觉中失去一些东西,然后后悔当我们需要他们。

人物故事非常生动的好像是要跳出故事,好像是存在于现实生活中。

“土地是世界上唯一的东西,对“这持续的唯一在这个世界上,你可别忘了,“这唯一值得你去为之工作,为之战斗,为之牺牲。”杰拉尔德说,爱尔兰人爱他的土壤超过他自己的生活,让我们知道生活可以出生的土地。

“但斯佳丽,你过没有,即使是最不灭的爱可以穿出去吗?我穿着,对希礼·威尔克斯和你疯狂的固执,让你保持像斗牛犬任何你想。”

“思嘉,我从来不是一个耐心捡起碎片粘合在一起,告诉自己,整个修补是像新的一样。什么坏了坏了,我宁愿记住它,因为它是最好的比修复它,看到破碎的地方,只要我活着。”Rett巴特勒说,一个人爱斯佳丽一个男人可以爱一个女人。爱她多年,他终于得到了她,他爱她疯狂但没有让她知道害怕被伤害。但最后他还是无法逃避伤害。“我亲爱的,我一点也不在乎。“看,他并不关心。他是一个伪装的人这么多。

“我不能放声痛哭,我不能乞求。我不能做任何风险他的轻蔑。他必须尊重我,即使他不爱我。”

“明天我想到这一切,在塔拉。我可以忍受。明天,我要想办法让他回来。毕竟,明天又是新的一天。”

斯佳丽奥哈拉说,我见过最美妙的女人。她是困难的,贪婪和无耻的,勇敢的,害怕,任性的孩子。虽然她只想到如何吸引男人的注意,不做任何有用的战争之前,她确实让我吃惊当我读到她的行为。当时,她的塔拉只是化为灰烬。每个人都描绘了他们的手,问她。她勇敢地面对现实,用自己的双手重建塔拉。是一个很坚强的女人,我想。虽然她爱的人都走了,她仍然充满希望。当Rett不爱她了,想要离开她,她说“我不能放声痛哭…即使他不爱我。“一个女人的尊严可以看到从她所说的和所做的。这就是为什么我欣赏她。

这本小说给了我太多的思考和我不能完全用英语表达自己。的确,阅读一本比翻译的更加生动。然而,我的英语水平限制了我理解的起源没有翻译。但是我会努力工作,为了更好地理解。

这本小说是我的宝,永远,因为我发现自己在斯佳丽并找到我生活的世界里的故事。

这真的是一个很好的小说,结局可以看到希望从绝望。

Yesterday, I read the novel called "Tess of the Durbevilles". written by a famous Englishwriter Thomas Hardy.

The novel tells a story about a pretty and good girl called Tess, who lived in a village in Marlott. To her sadness, when she was seventeen, she was no longer a pure and untouched girl. She gave birth to a baby, which didnt live long. So Tess changed from a pure gir l to a grown —up.

Because she was the eldest of the 7 children in the family, she found a job to support the whole family in a dairy.There she knew Angel and married him. But unluckily. when Angel knew her sad story, he left her and went to Brazil.Tess led a hard an d lonely life after that. Later when she knew Angel had retumed home and found out that she was living with the man who had given the damage to her before,Tess couldnt accept the fact and killed the man who was living with her.

Then she escaped and spent together with Angel three days and nights. The police found them on the morning of the fourth day. A few days later, Tess was executed.

Having read this novel, I like the heroine very much because of her purity, warmness, nobility and the spirit of devotion, She dared to fight against the evil, bravely seek and sturggle for the rights of love.

Thomas Hardy was famous for the poetical novels. "Tess of the Durbevilles"is one of this kind. The novel is so fresh that it is nearly like a poem. For nearly a century, it has been popular with the people all over the world.

During the summer holiday, I spent much time in reading. I finished one of the four masterpieces ofChina, Journey to the West. It’s really an interesting book, telling many adventurous stories. I had watched the TV series before, but I found that the book is much interesting. Except for the adventurous experiences, we still can learn something from this book. We should be brave and confident to ourselves, no matter how many difficulties we meet. Our fellows and teamwork is important to us. When we are in trouble, they are the person we can rely on. And the trust between people is of great importance. It can combine people to a group and work together.

The book on the surface of the plot and the history of the legend and there is not much difference, spoke or the Danish prince the story of revenge for his father, full of violence and death.

莎翁的《哈姆雷特》是一部经典的代表作。这本书在表面情节上与历史的传说并没有多大的区别，讲的还是丹麦王子为父报仇的故事，其中充满了血腥暴力和死亡。正如剧中人霍拉旭所说:"你们可以听到奸淫残杀，反常修理的行为，冥冥中的判决，意外的屠戮，借手杀人的狡计，以及陷入自害的结局。"

"I am a dog, I the wisdom of the people, but only because of lack of the two fingers, I do not open the door, open the box, press the remote control board, write the word... just because missing thumb, I can only do a dog. Although I the wisdom of the people, but I always just a dog......" the modest, at the beginning of the text, who became the first let a person standing read on reason. Its called enzo, a hybrid terrier.

I wait for you in the rain with a dog, tells the story of it, master enzo and Danny together through wind and rain vicissitudes: lonely when Dannys wife died, when her parents against him, when he is in chains and body was suddenly arrested, or when he got sick was disabled car, whether it is happy time, difficult years, still standing watch, no sweet without sweat, zorn, and Danny to each other all the, they through the exchange of mind, convey love each other, and the power of love for each other, let the tragedy to contain. When I closed the book, and her eyes filled with tears, heart like lens at the love scenes.

Enzo eyes, let a person see the ordinary in the warm happiness, weak consistency; So implicit yet affectionate and so difficult but insisted that the value of life is so beautiful, are thick. "I will wait for you in the rain" is a book of gently flap tranquil, but meaningful. "

It "said:" your heart decides what you see. We are the creators of our own destiny."

A lot of things, all in the setback, as long as you have your willpower, your strong, even if there is difficulty you can pass, after the storm, a rainbow will appear, no matter what to do, we strive to the end. Beat all want to overthrow their frustration, defeat fear, go forward!

Why cant do? Because your heart give you draw a line: I must do it. So, you see is the failure of himself. Why dont you open your heart, to find the ideal himself, to one of your goals in the past, it doesnt matter fell, fate is not held by yourself? Climb up, then you will be in front of a piece of light; Decadent, you couldnt get to the end forever.

To have such a pole vaulter, he is very severe, every game can refresh record, world record is created. He once said: "if I knew from the start to do this, then I must cant jump so high now." Yes, because he opened his heart, there is no limit to yourself, to be beyond the limit!

Your heart, decide what you see. We are the creators of our own destiny. Close your books, enzos face seemed to be just around the corner. "Dad, lets go to play." Skill not how, I picked up the racket, heart full of confidence and courage, as tender and considerate enzo looking at me, smile...

“我是一条狗，我有人的智慧，只可惜单单因为缺了两个指头，我拧不开门，开不了电视，按不了遥控板，写不了字……只因为缺了大拇指，我只能做一条狗。虽然我有人的智慧，但我永远只是一条狗…… ” 这种温和的开头文字，成为了让人痴痴读下去的第一个理由。它叫恩佐，一条杂交梗犬。

《我在雨中等你》以一只狗的口吻，讲述了它，恩佐和主人丹尼相依度过的风雨悲欢：当丹尼的妻子凄凉死去， 当岳父母和他反目成仇，当他镣铐加身被突然逮捕，或当佐恩得病遭车撞行动不便，无论是幸福时光、困顿岁月，还是痴痴守望、苦尽甘来，佐恩和丹尼彼此之间自始自终不离不弃，他们通过心灵的交流，彼此传递着爱，给对方爱的力量，让悲剧得以遏制。当我热泪盈眶地合上此书，心中涌动的是一幕幕爱的镜头。

恩佐的眼，竟让人看见了平凡中的温暖幸福、脆弱坚毅;如此含蓄却又深情，如此困难却又坚持，生命的可贵因之美丽，也因之厚实。《我在雨中等你》是一本轻轻撩动心海的书，却意味深长。」

它“说”过：“你的心，决定你看见的。我们是自己命运的创造者。”

很多事情，都于挫折并存，只要你拥有你的毅力，你的坚强，即使有困难你都可以通过，经历了暴风雨，彩虹才会出现，不管做什么事，我们都要努力到底。击败所有想打倒自己的挫折，击败内心的恐惧，勇往直前!

为什么会做不到?正是因为你的心给你划定了界限：这件事我一定做不到。所以，你看到的只是那个失败的自己。为什么不敞开心扉，找到那个理想中的自己，向你的目标冲过去，跌倒了也不要紧，命运不是由自己来掌握的吗?选择爬起来，那么你的前面将是一片光芒;颓废下去，你永远走不到终点。

有那样一位撑杆跳运动员，他很厉害，每一次比赛都能刷新记录，世界纪录都是他创造的。他曾经说过：“如果我一开始就知道这次要跳这么高，那我一定跳不到现在这么高。”是啊，正因为他敞开了自己的内心，没有限制自己，才会超越极限!

你的心，决定你看见的。我们是自己命运的创造者。合上书，恩佐的脸庞仿佛就在眼前。“爸爸，我们去打球。”球技不怎么的的我，拿起了球拍，心中充满了自信和勇气，仿佛温柔又善解人意的恩佐正看着我，微笑……

【英文】 Sense and Sensibility was the first Jane Austen published. Though she initially called it Elinor and Marianne, Austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. The story revolves around the Dashwood sisters, Elinor and Marianne. Whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers Austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. Commenting on Edward Ferrars, a potential suitor for Elinors hand, Marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.

Soon however, Marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: Mr. Willoughby, a new neighbor. So swept away by passion is Marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. Then Willoughby abandons her; meanwhile, Elinors growing affection for Edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. How each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. Though Mariannes disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is Elinor whom Austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure.

The story created a classic tough guy image. Tells the story of Santiago Cuba old man in the boundless sea fish caught eight days, but in the eighth day of the story, he caught a big marlin in the open sea, the old man in fighting with the marlin hand slashed, but he never give up, finally around three days later, will it uniform.

However, Santiago is not good luck, because he after uniform marlin, a grey whale sharks can smell the flavor of the marlin, he swam down to Santiagos fishing boat, ready to eat the marlin, so injured Santiago was at grey whale sharks and picked up the spear, when the moment of the assassination of grey whale sharks, have bite a piece of fish meat, grey whale shark defeated, but as a result of marlin tail meat is bitten off, so much more blood flow, it will let more sharks smell marlin, to marlin. Later, again there are two sharks come, really narrow scalloped hammerhead, shovelnose, but were Santiago uniforms, can be on the way back to Hong Kong, Santiago and ran into a large group of sharks, at this time of Santiago was exhausted, but Santiago also forcibly hold himself with the shark fight, even though he went the full, but in the end the big marlin was eaten, the old man back to the port of big marlin only a skeleton.

So I understand the life road twists and turns, long and full of challenge, but as long as our unremitting efforts, no matter the result is failure or success, is worth people respect.

故事塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。讲述了古巴的桑提亚哥老人在茫茫的大海钓了8天的鱼都一无所获，然而在故事的第8天，他在远海中钓到了一条巨大的马林鱼，老人虽然在与马林鱼的搏斗中手被割破，但他始终没有放弃，最后在周旋了三天后，将它制服。

然而，桑提亚哥的运气并不好，因为他在制服马林鱼后，一条灰鲸鲨就闻到了马林鱼的味道，便游到了桑提亚哥的渔船旁，准备吃掉马林鱼，于是，受伤的桑提亚哥便又拿起了鱼叉朝灰鲸鲨刺去，当灰鲸鲨被刺的一瞬间，已经咬下了一块鱼尾上的肉，灰鲸鲨被打败了，但由于马林鱼的尾巴上的肉被咬掉了，所以血就流得更加多了，这便让更多鲨鱼闻到马林鱼的气味，过来吃马林鱼。之后，真的又有两条鲨鱼来了，分别是窄头双髻鲨、铲鲨，但都被桑提亚哥制服了，可在回港的路上，桑提亚哥又碰见了一大群鲨鱼，这时的桑提亚哥已是筋疲力竭，但桑提亚哥还强行地撑着自己与鲨鱼搏斗，虽然他使出了全力，但最后大马林鱼还是被吃掉了，老人回港时大马林鱼只剩下一副骨架了。

由此我明白了人生的道路曲折、漫长、充满了挑战，但是只要我们坚持不懈努力过，不管结果是失败还是成功，都是值得人们尊敬的。

My Feelings after reading Wuthering Heights

Wuthering Heights is a well-written tragedy of love. After reading the whole story, I would like to talk about the main characters of the story—Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff love each other very much, but they do not have the right attitude towards love, which leads to the tragedy.

In Catherine’s life, she made a very foolish decision---marrying to Edgar. In fact, her love for Edgar can never be compared to that for Heathcliff. She did so, because she thought the wealth of Edgar would be useful to Heathcliff. But in reality, it did not work. She did not have a good understanding of love, which is something pure and saint. If anyone add any purpose into love, love itself lost its meaning. Catherine’s wrong decision hurt two people who love her, and even destroyed the happiness of their offspring.

Heathcliff is a man full of retaliation. He loved Catherine very much, but what he did, on the contrary, added to the misery of Catherine. In my opinion, if he really loved Catherine, he should not walk into Catherine’s life again after his disappearance. Further more, after the death of Catherine, what Heathcliff did brought agony to Catherine’s daughter, as well as his own son.

After reading, I have a better understanding of love. If you love really someone, his or her happiness is the thing that most matters.

《呼啸山庄》读后感

《呼啸山庄》是一部写得很好的爱情悲剧。读完整个故事,我想谈谈故事的主人公——凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫。凯瑟琳和希斯克利夫非常相爱,但他们没有采取正确的态度对待爱情,从而导致悲剧。

在凯瑟琳的生命中,她作了一个非常愚蠢的决定——和埃德加结婚。事实上,她给埃德加的爱永远不可能与给希斯克利夫的相比。她这样做,是因为她认为埃德加的财富会对希斯克利夫有用。但实际上,它没有用。她不懂得爱情,爱情是圣洁的。如果有人给爱情添加任何目的,爱情本身就失去了意义。凯瑟琳的错误决定伤害了两个爱她的人,甚至破坏了他们的后代的幸福。

希斯克利夫是一个充满复仇心的男人。他非常爱凯瑟琳,但他的所作所为恰恰相反地增加了凯瑟琳的痛苦。在我看来,如果他真的爱凯瑟琳,他不应该在他消失之后再次走进凯瑟琳的生活。此外,凯瑟琳死后,希斯克利夫给凯瑟琳的女儿以及他自己的儿子带来了极度的痛苦,。

读后,我对爱有了一个更好的理解。如果你真的爱某人,他或她的幸福绝对经得住所有困难的考验。

Austins "pride and prejudice", as she puts it, is thin on two inches of ivory carving, it is the masterpiece of Austin. Reflect the marriage problems of novel is a, the author works in the most is her favorite works.

Works of vivid reflects the late 18th century to the early 19th century in a conservative and occlusion of the British town life and the world. Its social graffiti like novels not only attract the readers at that time, solid to today, still give the reader a unique artistic enjoyment. She was the first to realistically portray ordinary grace novelist in daily ordinary life, plays an essential role in English novel.

The whole works, not least no winding ups and downs of the plot, but it is this simple, delicate and attracted us deeply.

Not because there is no abundant experience, for the analysis of things for her ability to doubt.

People read the book pride and prejudice "will be fine for her, keen emotion. When writing "pride and prejudice", she is just a teenage girl, isnt this a gift? She does very little contact with the outside world, but thought, imagination, the existence of all this is enough.

【参考译文】

奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》，正如她自己所说，是在两寸象牙上细细的雕刻，它是奥斯汀的代表作。这部反映婚姻问题的小说是作者作品中最受的一部，也是她本人最喜欢的作品。

作品生动的反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。其社会风情画似的小说不仅在当时吸引着广大的读者，实至今日，仍给读者以独特的艺术享受。她是第一个现实地描绘日常平凡生活中平凡恩的小说家，在英国小说史上起了承上启下的作用。

整部作品没有滂沱的气势，没有曲折跌宕的情节，但就是这种简单，精致深深地吸引着我们。奥斯汀短暂的一生几乎都是在英国的乡间度过的，也许就是周围朴素，宁静的氛围孕育了她淡然的气质。并不能因为没有丰富的经历，就对她的对于事物的分析能力有所怀疑。

读过《傲慢与偏见》的人一定会为她细腻，敏锐的情感所折服。在写《傲慢与偏见》时，她只是一个十几岁的女孩，难道这不是一种天赋么?她的确很少接触外界，但思想存在，想象存在，这一切的存在就足够。

《平凡的世界》是中国作家路遥创作的一部百万字的小说。以下是小编带来的平凡的世界英语读后感，希望对你有帮助。

The man who is working is the happiest one in the world, no matter in which period. That’s a truth the book ordinary world wants to tell us. It’s loudly gives out the slogan, as a human, despair the position, as long as you have a burning heart, you will beloved by the life. Everybody in the world should love their work. One can be ordinary, but can not be mediocre. Only be a worker, and use one’s sincere heart to taste the life and experience, can we truly being alive. We have only one life. This is a book written by life. There is a kind of ordinary sound flood in the earth and universe.

The book’s time span lasts from the 1975 to 1985, the turbulent years in Chinese history. The story happened in a small village called Shuangshui village. Almost the whole book is describe the life and people in Shuangshui village. During that ten years, the Cultural Revolution has came to an end, Deng Xiaoping came into power,a new mode of production-- household contract responsibility system with remuneration linked to output has came out. All of these changes lead to the happen of the story. Shungshui village and it’s people is just like a miniature picture of the whole China and it’s people. The book included every aspect of the society that time. Lu Yao wanted to use a kind of realism style of writing to draw the outline of a great social picture scroll. In the scroll, everyone in different stratum is lifelike in both characters and features. This is an important point, because of Lu Yao ‘s consummate novel skill and the deadly serious writing attitude, this novel turned into one of the best teacher aids of that period history.

The pedagogical meaning I get from this book is a kind of profound understanding to the peasant in our own country. The younger generation in the modern city is very hard to figure out the meaning of this point, because they are far away from the real country life. Peasants’ life, peasants’ thought ,the days peasant’s had and now and the future, all of these are quite unfamiliar to most of us. Then this book can be regarded as a bridge, we can indirectly gain a better understanding of the real country from this book And that’s the function of books. The book perfectly draw a picture of that time, it reflects the pleasure, the anger, the sorrow, and the passions of the peasants. After finished the book, we can say we experienced that period in one sense. We had ever worked in a filed, the sweat poured like rains from our face and we had ever loved someone ,lost someone. All of these cane from the book. The practical significance of the book sets on the current situation and historic continuity of China; sets on the hope of the future and the development of our young generation; sets on the understanding of China and the people.

On the other hand, I do really like Lu Yao’s starting point---ordinary world. Their world is ordinary, this is just one of the tens of thousands of villages in loess plateau. But Lu Yao have seen the character out of the common in the protagonists. Take Sun shaoping as an example, he had a secondary education and through a self-study came to a undergraduate level. The author put many excellent qualities to this leading role. All the roles in Lu Yao’s novel are ordinary people, but all the marvelous characters in their body made them different.

Life is an outward journey and there is not much time for us to squander, to grieve or to feel depressed. It will be spineless to give up our hope. Just like the famous sentence “Though the torches is drooping, the fire is burning up”。 Even the most ordinary people should fight for his life.

寒假，我读了高尔基的自传体小说《童年》，它给我的感触颇深。

它向我们艺术地展示了阿廖沙在黑暗社会追求光明的奋斗历程，还有十九世纪七十到八十年代的俄国社会风貌。3岁的时候，父亲病故，母亲就带阿廖沙回了娘家。可惜外公是个自私而又专横的小业主，但是资本主义俄国的发展打断了外公发财的好梦，从此破产以至于贫困潦倒。可怜的母亲改嫁之后，生病而死，十一岁的作者被外公残忍地赶出了家门，到社会上自谋生路……其实，阿廖沙的原型就是高尔基本人，高尔基借阿廖沙这个人物来描述自己的童年。高尔基用真实优美的文笔描述了自已苦难而令人难以置信童年。

我们现在丰衣足食，要什么有什么，又是父母的“掌上明珠”、“心肝宝贝”哪能和高尔基那悲惨的童年相提并论，年代的不同就是这差别，一个是天堂，一个是地狱；一个充满阳光，一个到处黑暗。我们现在的童年来之不易啊！童年充满着欢乐，童年到处是温暖，童年是值得回忆的相机，童年爱满心窝！而高尔基的童年除了一些教育和友谊，没有什么再值得回忆！

假如我们生活俄国沙皇时期又会怎么样？会认为那根本不是人生活的地方吗？我们不仅要珍惜眼前的幸福，而且要学会制造幸福。屠格涅夫说过：“屠格涅夫说过：”想要得到幸福，你首先要学会吃得起苦。“美好的生活必须有所付出，才会长久，有所争取，才会得到。

Mr。 A Gan is a man who is short in intelligence but rich in mind! It is impossible for us to make the wildest guess at what achievements he could fulfill。 History does not recount whether a man regarded as ‘stupid’ can do so many amazing things， but the fact is that he does gains a great deal of unexpected fame and success。

The deep impression that the movie give me is that he just keep running all the time。 Mr。 A Gan， it seems， has run into the university， the White House and even the whole continent。 Sometimes I wonder if we all misunderstand the true meaning of smart and clever， for Mr。 A Gan has taught us a very different lesson。 From my point of view， kindness and simplicity is the cleverest wealth that God has given us。

But of the human beings， unpredictable Nature selected only Mr。 A Gan， one wonders also why Nature， with Mr。 A Gan， made it possible that people who was treated as a fool can surely make a difference。 Mr。 A Gan’s success is no accident。 There is no doubt that ordinary people like you and me can live a rich life by perseverance!

[阿甘正传英语读后感

《汤姆·索亚历险记》以其浓厚的深具地方特色的幽默和对人物敏锐观察，一跃成为最伟大的儿童文学作品，也是一首美国“黄金时代”的田园牧歌。下面是语文迷为大家提供的《汤姆·索亚历险记》英语读后感，希望对你有帮助。

I believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. This is definitely a book everyone can relate to.

The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author Mark Twain. Tom Sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the Mississippi River called St. Petersburg. The story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in Tom Sawyers life.

Tom Sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as Dennis the Menace, Malcolm in the Middle, and Calvin and Hobbs. What makes this story great is that Tom Sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. The book is filled with Toms adventures playing pirates and war with his friend Joe Harper. Tom has a trusted friend, Huck Finn, who few of the adults approve of. The book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. It is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. The whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.

The book is a little difficult to read at first. Personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. Other than referring to persons of African decent in derogatory terms (which Im sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.

故事的主人公汤姆是个天真、活泼而又顽皮的典型美国少年。他和野孩子夏克，各干出了许多令人捧腹的妙事。像汤姆被罚粉刷围墙，竟施出诡计，不但使别的孩子心甘情愿代替他工作，还自动奉上谢礼。后来和夏克逃到荒岛去，人们以为他们淹死了，正在教堂为他们举行丧礼，而他们却躲在教堂的钟楼上偷听。这些顽皮的举动，虽然不能给我们做模范，但是，他为了正义，毅然地挺身出来作证人，拯救那无辜的罪犯沫夫彼得。并在顽皮之余，居然和夏克破获了一桩谋杀案，成为众人钦佩的小英雄。看来，汤姆也有值得我们学习的地方。

人总是会长大的，除了个儿长高了，身子强壮了以外，人的思想也在长。你对世界的看法不同了，懂事了，不再幼稚了。不过人是要越变越好才是。千万不能像历险记里的那个心狠手辣的坏蛋卓伊一样，他坏事做尽，人见人憎。但最后他还是恶有恶报，得到了一个活活饿死在山洞里的下场。

看完《汤姆索亚历险记》，我真羡慕汤姆能有如此有趣的经历。这本书让人看起来津津有味，甚至废寝忘食。我想，《汤姆索亚历险记》在你烦闷的时候或许能让你一笑解千愁。

" Les Miserables " (1862) is representative works of Victor Hugo,as one of the most famous novels in the French literature.

The novel basic plot is Ran A Rang pitiful life history. He originally is one poor family background worker, because the income insufficient family member gets by, by one time stole the bread is arrested is put in prison. Passed 19 years firm prison and the bitter service life. The punishment completely after also has the larceny behavior, but benevolent bishop in the rice the sorrowful influence, the transformation is one shed oneself manner person. He uses an alias is Madland, works as the entrepreneur, and is pushed for mayor. But soon and further because exposed the status is arrested is put in prison, after escapes rescues the deceased female worker Fantins daughter Cosette match from one bastard hand special, went to Paris. Afterwards again unceasingly encountered polices pursuit. The Ran A Rang entire life fills is imprisoned the pain which the bitter service and drifts about destitute, this is the novel main clue.

" Les Miserables " is the work which one realism and the romanticism unifies, the very many chapters glitter the realism glory, such as , in 1832 Pariss street barricade war all wrote is quite real. But the romanticism technique quite was also obvious in the plot arrangement, writes the many extraordinary events. If Ran A rang lets lie down is lifted in the coffin the monastery, he rescues from the street barricade Marilius, all is strange, molds, environment description, symbolic and contrast technique aspect and so on utilization in the character image, also manifests the romanticism the characteristic.

The novel is rich in poetry, symbolism and metaphor. It does not fit easily into a definite pattern, being neither a novel of "manners" in the tradition of Austen, or a straightforward Gothic Romance in the style of Mrs Radcliffe. What Charlotte Bronte did was to create a work which cleverly blends elements of the two styles, and which remains uniquely independent of them at the same time, since it addresses issues which were at the time rather controversial.

The novel is written in the first person, and thus magnifies the central character - the reader enters the world of Jane Eyre and is transported through her experiences at first hand. This at once makes the work subjective, especially since we know that Charlottes Brontes own life and experiences were so closely interwoven with the heroines. As well as this we learn only at the end of the novel that the events are being related to us ten years after the reconciliation with Rochester - thus the narrative is RETROSPECTIVE (looking back). CB is clever in blending the narrative so that at times Jane seems to be speaking as an adult with adult hindsight , while at others she she is "in the middle" of them, as a child or young woman. The indecision which is a central issue in the book, is heightened by this device. We never know, as readers, whether to be entirely trustful of Janes actions and thoughts, because we are never sure wheher she is speaking impulsively or maturely.

This intensifies the readers dilemma as to what is "right" and "wrong" in the dramatic relationships which are part of JEs life. Can we believe what the heroine says, or is she deceiving herself? The novel is primarily a love story and a "romance" where wishes come true but only after trials and suffering. The supernatural has its place, as do dreams, portents and prophesies. The heroine begins poor and lonely and ends up rich and loved; the orphan finds a good family to replace the wicked one; all the basic ingredients of classic romantic fairytale are present.

The romantic element is present in two forms in Jane Eyre; the "family" aspect is dealt with in the Gateshead, Lowood and Moor House episodes, which involve the exchanging of the wicked Reed family for the benevolent Rivers one; and the Love romance is dealt with in the Thornfield and Ferndean episodes. Both aspects are, of course linked and interwoven throughout the novel.

There is also a strong element of realism in the novel, which, married to the romantic aspect, enhances the novels strength.The sense of place is very strong; we are able to experience both exterior and interior settings with startling clarity throughout the story, in a series of vivid deive passages. The central characters are also realistic and their confrontations and sufferings change them in a believable way.

Even the unlikely is made plausible, with a unique blend of high drama and perceptive low comedy (the attack on Mason, for instance)

The more fantastic romantic aspects; the coincidences; the secrets; the supernatural occurrences, are balanced by the realism, and this is of course a major strength.

The Gothic influence cannot be ignored, although CB has refined the technique considerably from the "authentic" Gothic of the 1790s. In the original genre, the heroine would typically be abducted and threatened with seduction, or worse!. There would be a lover - a respectable, well-bred young man - who would endeavor to rescue the heroine and would succeed after many trial. the seducer would be a brigand "Know that I adore Corsairs!" and he would lock the girl up in a remote castle.

There was little freedom for middle class women during the period of the Gothic novel, and this was still the case in the time of CB. Marriage especially was often a bargain, whereby fortunes were secured by using the female as a pawn. A womans value largely depended therefore on her sexual purity and she was guarded and secured as a result. Men, on the contrary, were potent and free; lovers and mistresses were common. Ironically the women who provided their services were social outcasts as a result.

In Jane Eyre we see elements of the Gothic romance, in that Thornfield Hall and Rochester are described very much in the brigand/castle style BUT Jane Eyre is not abducted by R. On the contrary she chooses to go there of her own free will. AND she is clear in her determination to have Rochester as a husband. Neither is there a gentleman rescuer; St John Rivers may look like a Greek God, but he is neither kind nor benevolent; driving Jane back to Ferndean, not rescuing her from it.

The trials which the hero is supposed to undergo in a Gothic romance are in fact undergone by the heroine in Jane Eyre. The bandit Rochester is only skin-deep. Underneath the brooding exterior is a sensitive soul, which a WOMAN frees. In this way we see that CB created rather a daring departure from conventional fiction, although there are still many aspects of the novel which remain true to Victorian convention.!
