As we all know, books, especially the classical, present the precious accumulation of wisdom and knowledge beyond the limitation of time or space, from which we can enjoy numerous anecdotes, get to know exotic culture and tradition, experience the legendary and miraculous life of our idols and make ourselves better men day by day.

Nevertheless, people, especially the young, seem to have stored those classical books merely on the shelf for an unbelievably long time, which can be attributed to various factors. On the one hand, modern people have to cope with the quick pace and unavoidable stress of their work or life; therefore, they can hardly devote time to reading books. On the other hand, people tend to be more material-oriented involving their social status, amount of wealth or prospects of getting promotion, which eclipse the important benefits from reading classical books.

To me, it is essential for most undergraduates to read certain classical books, especially ones filled with life-long motivation and sagacious thoughts, which may not guarantee them short-term returns but will bring them far-reaching reward.

我们都知道,书籍,尤其是古典音乐,现在宝贵的智慧和知识积累超越时间和空间的限制,我们可以享受大量的轶事,了解异国的文化和传统,我们偶像的传奇和奇迹的生活经验,让自己更好的男人。

然而,人,尤其是年轻人,似乎仅仅存储那些经典的书籍在书架上的难以置信的长时间,可以归因于多种因素。一方面,现代人们不得不应付工作的快节奏和不可避免的压力或生活;因此,他们几乎不能花时间去读书。另一方面,人们更倾向于物质至上涉及他们的社会地位、财富或得到晋升的前景,eclipse重要受益于阅读经典书籍。

对我来说,这是必要的对于大多数大学生读一些经典书籍,特别是由终身动机和睿智的思想,也不能保证他们短期的回报,但会带来深远的奖励。

篇1:英语原版小说的阅读技巧与策略

全文共 1071 字

+ 加入清单

英语原版小说阅读技巧策略说实话,在原版小说的阅读方面,我不是高手,虽然有很多恩师淳淳教导,自己也买了借了很多原版小说,在我印象中,没有一本好好读完的,唯一的一本大16开的600多pages的原版教材,到是花了3个月的时间啃完了.

近来由于2外的需要,本人再次向原版小说进军.我把自己的一些3角猫的阅读技巧与策略祥述如下,希望各位高人指点在下…

1. why to read original edition novel

要想真正提高外语水平,阅读原版小说是必经之路,正如不是每个人都能成为外语高手一样,

不是每个人都能够有毅力读完N本原版小说的.(我特佩服门卫,能够把一本都上N遍,如果我有这种毅力的话,早就成为高手了…)

2. fundamental conditions

语法:系统准确的掌握语法. 基本上,如果是E,高中毕业以后这一点都达到了

词汇: 熟练词汇>2.5k, 认知词汇>5k

工具书:一本C-E,

一本E-E,或者用文曲星代替,但我偏好字典----词汇认知学指出,词汇的记忆效果与词汇的检索时间正相关(我现在读法文,由3本D, F-C,F-E,F-F)

3. 选材,仁者见仁,就我个人而言, 我偏好当代中篇作品(我现在选了一本Marcel Pagnol 写于1957年的, 280pages)

4. 前期工作: 查找百科全书或相应的工具书,了解到作者的生平,作品,世人的评价.

5. 阅读中的词汇学习: 每天阅读6 pages(6X225=1350字),在阅读过程中碰到new words先做标记,读完后再查D, 把生词记载在本子上,并及时背诵(我现在最怕的就是这一点,会不会半途而废???)

6. how to read

我准备默读, 这是我的习惯,朗读太费劲了,泛读也没有意义,介于精泛之间

7. read what

我主要研究其词汇搭配.词汇的用法是语言中最难的,比如,法语中最简单的一个介词à,用法不计其数,在大型D上有好几页,

为什么同样的词汇在名家手下就生龙活虎,到了我的手下就一潭死水呢?我认为这应该是读原版小说的最根本目的.

记得AS以前告诫我,要多学词法,少背词汇, 可惜一直没有好好的实行, 现在,我就以法语作为实验品吧…再次谢谢AS!!!

我准备把注意力集中在介词,连词,动词上面,因为名词和形容词的用法太简单了,不知这样是否OK?

8. how to digest

每读完一章写一篇读后感,相当于开卷考试,经常并及时背诵本子上的new words

9. 结语

方法人人都有,上面只是我个人的对策,真诚的希望大家对阅读原版小说提出意见和建议.

老人与海》是厄尼斯特.海明威的巅峰之作。这本书先后获得1953年普利策奖和1954年诺贝尔文学奖。下面我们来看看老人与海读后感英语,欢迎阅读。

Reading, "Hits" felt read the famous American writer Ernest Hemingways novel, "Hits." I very much admire the novel old fishermans will, he let me know how a person must have perseverance to be successful.

Describes the novel is a nearly Liu Xun old fisherman, when fishing in a single sea, caught a big fish, but not pull up. Old fisherman with the fish deal after several days, they find it is a fishing boat several times more than their big marlin, while knowing that it is difficult to win, but not to give up. Marlins wound was compounded by large fish smell attracted several groups of sharks grab, but the elderly are still reluctant to give up and eventually Breakthrough, the big fish back to the fishing port, so that other fisherman endless admiration.

When I read, "The old fisherman thought: Here it is too close from the coast, perhaps in the more distant places will have a bigger fish ... ...", I very much admire the old fisherman, as he then had to sit at Some fish, but he did not complacent, but rather toward a larger goal. Look at us, usually encountered little difficulty, we all hurt. We are the future of the motherland, it should be as ambitious as the old man to the pursuit of better and bigger goals.

When I read the "big Marlins began to swim quickly around the small fishing will be winding cable to the mast, the old right hand holding the Fork, in its leaping water of the moment, make every effort to throw it in the heart of to go, I heard the end of big fish have become divorced from life, it is quietly floating on the water ... ... ", my heart, like a big rock off the ground. I very much admire the elderly that have no fear, perseverance, although very aware of her opponents, but he was not retreating, but marching forward despite difficulties. It is because of this spirit, the old fisherman has gained a victory in this life and death battle.

We must learn in life, the spirit of the old fisherman, are not afraid of difficulties in doing things in order to be successful.

Read the big fish in a group of sharks smell blood in, and scramble to snatch a tour the old mans left hand just in cramp, he could only use the right hand, with a wooden stick, catch of swordfishs mouth and all can be used to attack weapons of self-defense, and ultimately get rid of the group of sharks. But the big fish meat has been eaten more than half the elderly people a sense of humor was also criticism of his left hand, "when the job is at rest", I was also impressed by the spirit of optimism for the elderly. In life, some losses are inevitable, we should be treated with optimism can not be preoccupied with.

Finally, the novel in order to see the old fisherman in a juvenile measure 18 feet long enough to have a big marlin, the fish again, describes the enormous, indicating the difficulties overcome old fisherman large, unusual.

Novel praised the efforts of the old fisherman dauntless fighting spirit, we should also like him can not be satisfied with the status quo, it should be positive, to do anything to be persistent and difficult to be the difficulties, must not be wasted. Only in this way can we get more success and victories.

读《老人与海》有感 读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》。我十分佩服小说中老渔夫的意志,他让我懂得了一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神,才能获得成功。

小说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,虽然明知很难取胜,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,但老人仍不愿就这样放弃,最终突出重围,将大鱼带回了渔港,让其他渔夫佩服不已。

当我读到“老渔夫想:这里离海岸实在是太近了,也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼……”时,我十分佩服这位老渔夫,因为他这时已经打到了一些鱼,但他没有安于现状,而是向着更大的目标前进。再看看我们,平时遇到一点小困难,我们都叫苦连天。我们是祖国的未来,应该像这位老人一样胸怀大志,去追求更好、更大的目标。

当我读到“大马林鱼开始快速地围着小渔船游动,将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆上,老人右手高举着钢叉,在它跃出水面的一瞬间,竭尽全力地向它的心脏掷去,一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命,它静静地浮在水面上……”时,我的心也像一块大石头落了地。我非常钦佩老人那种毫不畏惧、坚持不懈的精神,虽然知道对手实力很强,但他没有丝毫退缩,而是迎难而上。正因为有了这种精神,老渔夫才获得了这场生死较量的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神,做事情不怕困难,才能取得成功。

在读到大鱼的血腥味被一群鲨鱼嗅到了,争相游来抢食,老人的左手正好在抽筋,他只能使用右手,用木棒、捕到的剑鱼的嘴等一切可以用来攻击的武器自卫,并最终赶走了这群鲨鱼。但大鱼的肉已经被吃了一大半,而老人还风趣地批评自己的左手“该工作的时候却在休息”的时候,我也被老人乐观的精神所折服。在生活中,有些损失是不可避免的,我们应该以乐观的态度来对待,不能斤斤计较。

最后,小说以一个少年看到老渔夫在度量足有十八英尺长的大马林鱼,再次描写了这条鱼的巨大,说明老渔夫所克服的困难之大,非比寻常。

小说歌颂了老渔夫不畏艰险努力奋斗的精神,我们也应该像他那样,不能满足于现状,应该积极向上,做任何事都要坚持不懈,遇到困难要迎难而上,决不能半途而废。只有这样,我们才能获得更大的成功和胜利。

篇4:阅读经典感悟成长

全文共 1293 字

+ 加入清单

斟一杯清茶。我喜欢在暖暖的午后,在飘荡着轻音乐的房间里,捧起一本书,坐在窗前细品。

伴着浓郁的茶香,感悟每一件惊天动地或平淡如水的事……现在很流行一句:“活着就是一种修行。”近来读了余华先生的一本书《活着》。作为一个词语“活着”在我国的语言里充满了力量,他的力量不是来自于叫喊,而是忍受,去忍受生命赋予我们的责任,去忍受现实给予我们的幸福与平庸。而作为一本书,《活着》讲述了一个人和他的命运之间的友情,乍听上去很有意思很费解,其实,这是最为感人的友情,因为他们互相感激,同时也互相仇恨;他们谁也无法抛弃对方,同时谁也没有理由抱怨对方。他们活时一起走在尘土飞扬的道路上,死时又一起化作雨水和泥土,惺惺相惜……“一个老人,一头老牛,相依为命,在一块土地上,以最原始的方式活着。”

作家余华在小说《活着》的自序中这样说道。这本书中作者精心构造了一位正在艰难而平静地活着的普通中国老人——福贵。在他的人生生涯中,与他相关的九位亲人或朋友或对手,年长的,年少的……全部都死了,他们都死在福贵面前。或死于落迫,或死于狂热,或死于不幸……唯有福贵老人一个人还活着。他与一头同样老态龙钟的牛,一并地活着。

故事到了这里多了些悲剧的色彩……其实,福贵也在讲述着人如何去承受巨大的痛苦,就像那句老话“千钧一发”让以更头发去承受三万斤的重压,它没有断。他还告诉我们成长与生命的宽广与丰富,诉说了绝望并不存在,讲述了人是为了活着本身而活着的,而不是为了活着之外的任何事而活着,这似乎是有些深奥。或许,作家余华的整部小说只想要证实一句话:人活着的反面就是人生的死亡。或许,作家余华以生动的众多文学人物的生生死死的经历只想要证实一个简明扼要的道理:人生在世,活着,至少,比死了好。福贵的一生算是坎坷,算是不幸,但同时他也是幸福的,至少他比平常人在这一生中经受的还要多些。

在故事的最后,他面对一头不会说话的老牛,把自己家里所有已经离世的亲人的名字全部赋予它,每天叫喊着亲人的名字,这是一种多么幸福的画面!尽管,在这个家中,其实,只有福贵一人还活着多么希望,他的环境不要打破呀!哪怕只是一直这样活下去,也未尝不是一件好事!

人生在世,活着才是硬道理。许多人说要“健康的”活着,要“有尊严的”活着,要“有价值的”活着……所有的 “活着”的前提条件,其实只有一个“活着”!人生的成长中无法生存了,还能要什么?活着,是成长的见证,所以请你不要埋怨现实生活中的一切,埋怨这儿不好,那儿不公平。其实,和书中的人相比,你已幸福不止一万倍了。所以让我们在不满或怨怒时,省去那些一大堆没什么用处的闲话,说一句:“活着,真好!”月亮被浸在水里,太阳被印在云里,有了黑暗的衬托,才有了光明的伟大。

一次又一次来去匆匆,一次又一次起起落落,失去了,懂得了珍惜;成长了,明白了岁月。没有绝对,只有相对。活着的相对是成长。长于春梦几时多,散似秋云无觅处。

成长会让我们的生活从幼稚走向成熟,让你孤寂单调的日子变得丰富多彩,让你用浪漫的想象驱走现实的郁闷,让你狭窄的生活面的开阔。总之成长是一种幸福,我们谁也不能抱怨成长,而活着是一种修行。茶香中,品味着……

篇5:阅读《红楼梦》读书笔记及感悟

全文共 860 字

+ 加入清单

一句“满纸荒唐言,一把辛酸泪。都云作者痴,谁解其中味?”写出了作者的辛苦与心酸,也表达出了知音难寻的无奈何苦闷。而我最喜欢读的一本书就是出自曹雪芹先生笔下的《红楼梦》。

《红楼梦》是一个悲剧,它不仅是曹雪芹先生的真实写照同时也是当时社会的真实写照,从而使一个繁荣的荣国府走向衰败。曹雪芹先生历时十年完成这部著作,用细腻和巧妙的文笔叙述了一个繁荣一时的荣国府。

当我看完了《红楼梦》后,我感到无比的心酸,我甚至有点怨恨作者为什么把这《红楼梦》的结局写得这么悲惨,这与《红楼梦》前部分的那生气、繁荣的景象一点有不符合。但后来我渐渐的明白了,当时的社会就是这么黑暗,这只不过就是社会的演变过程罢了。

令我感触最深的就是林黛玉,虽然很多人都不喜欢她那生性猜疑,多愁善感的性格,但我却似乎知道她的苦衷似的。她从小父母双亡,又寄人篱下,她感到自己的世界有多么的孤独,为了保护自己,她只能用刻薄的语气去对待他人,这也是她养成生性猜疑的情感的因素。林黛玉在凄凉中死去,身边只有服侍她的一个丫鬟在默默的为她哭泣。这时我也想起了她那被预言的悲惨的一生。

贾宝玉,一个外表看上去柔弱带点天真的男孩子,其实也有刚强男子的一面,也许到最后谁也想不到他会去出家,是因为他看破了红尘吧,他是一个渴望得到自由的人,当姐妹们成家后都抱怨着生活中的事,他的内心渐渐的成熟了,更何况在这种“指腹为婚”的时代,对他来说更是一种水深火热。同时他又是一个痴情的人,他对林黛玉可以不顾一切,从这也可以看出林黛玉之死对他的打击有多大。我不禁替贾宝玉感到惋惜,美好的青春就这样被断送了。

《红楼梦》中的人物命运几乎都是悲惨的,从王熙凤的“一从二令三休”到薛宝钗的“可叹停机德,金簪雪里埋”再到林黛玉的“堪怜咏絮才,玉带从中挂。”都能体现出来。曹雪芹先生曾惨痛的写道:“趁着这奈何天,伤怀日,寂寞时,试谴愚忠,因此上演出这怀金悼玉的“红楼梦”。

《红楼梦》一书让我感慨万千,它让我第一次走入作者的笔下,体会作者的心酸。岁月流逝,生命的年轮在不停的轮转,但又有谁能读懂这曹雪芹的梦中泪。

篇6:2024年水浒传个人阅读感悟反思

全文共 884 字

+ 加入清单

在一个十几平米的小房间中,一个棕色古朴的书架傲然立于墙角,上面放满了各式各样的古今中外名著,但在它们之中,我最爱的还是翻看了无数遍的《水浒传》。

从书架上再次拿出那本有点褶皱的《水浒传》再次领略一番书中那群梁山好汉的风采。书中描绘了在一个佞臣当道,百姓饱受压榨的背景下,108位好汉不堪欺压,聚义水泊梁山,此后,众好汉带领手下,围剿其他势力,劫富济贫,除暴安良,但起义军队伍的逐渐壮大引起了朝廷重视并且受朝廷围剿,但是困剿失败,朝廷于是又想法子招安,但奈何朝廷__臣当道,好汉头领宋江在起义事业的巅峰时期选择了妥协、招安,最后服毒自尽,李逵、花荣等也随宋江而去。

在这本书中有一个人物形象最令我痴迷,那就是统领八十万禁军教头,“豹子头”林冲。在一开始林冲是一个血气方刚、顶天立地的君子,一心报国却遭到__臣高衙内的百般陷害。他本可就此辞官离去,但满腹经纶,身怀绝技的他不甘心,最终误入白虎堂,身败名裂,幸得师弟鲁智深相救,才保全一命。而我最喜欢的便是火烧草料场的那一章,每当看到林冲用银枪洞穿仇人陆虞候那一刻,我都重重地舒一口气,仿佛只有这样在我心中林冲所遇的不公,所受的委屈才能够随着这口抒发出来。也许每个人的心中都有一道执念,很多人都是依靠着这道执念才努力地活着。试想一下,连林冲这样一心为国的人都落得如此下场,被逼上梁山,那其他的忠义之士又怎能自如地生活在那黑暗的世界中?

有许多人都说《水浒传》中的108位梁山好汉最终都落得一个凄惨的下场但是我并不这么认为,人生在世,又有多少人能像他们这般洒脱地活着呢?众兄弟做事只讲一个“义”字,天下兴亡,匹夫有责,明知当今朝廷黑暗,却还是拿出了以卵击石的勇气,只为堂堂正正地活着。从五湖四海而来,组成了一个其乐融融的大家庭,结成了牢不可破的血肉纽带和见弟情谊。这才是真正的兄弟,不顾生死,永不抛弃“忠”和“义”,兄弟的真谛尽在于此,溢于言表。

每当我拿起一本名著,里面环环相扣的故事情节令我深陷其中;里面巧夺天工的绝句令我流连忘返,还有那纵情山河万里,肆意九州五岳的傲世情怀令我内心激昂。虽一路风雨,但有名著与我相伴,我并不孤单。

In the English Reading Week, one of my classmates recommended a quote to us, which goes like this: “Your future depends on many things, but mostly on you.”

在英语阅读周,我的一个同学推荐了一个报价给我们,这是这样的:“你的未来取决于许多事情,但主要是在你。”

As far as I’m concerned, I completely agree with the view. Of course, our future depends on many things such as our living environment, opportunities, luck, others’ help and etc. But it is we ourselves that determine our future. Our positive attitude, our determination, our confidence and our sense of discipline are the keys to our future.

就我而言,我完全同意这一观点。当然,我们的未来取决于我们的生活环境、机会、运气、别人的帮助等,但我们自己决定了我们的未来。我们积极的态度、决心、信心和纪律是我们未来的关键。

Madame Curie was a good example to us. In her times, women were not admitted to university in her motherland, Poland, so she was forced to leave her homeland and studied in France. She often said: we should believe every one of us can do something and above all we should believe in ourselves. It was her confidence that made her discover radium and later win the Nobel Prize. So I firmly hold the belief that our future is in our hands.

居里夫人是我们的好榜样。在她的时代,妇女在她的祖国,波兰不承认,所以她被迫离开她的祖国,在法国学习。她常说:“我们应该相信我们每个人都能做些什么,首先我们应该相信自己。是她的信心,使她发现镭,后来赢得了诺贝尔奖。所以我坚信我们的未来是在我们手中。

篇9:《活着》阅读心得感悟

全文共 2211 字

+ 加入清单

活着》作者余华,1960年4月3日出生于浙江杭州,现代作家。《活着》这一书出版于1993年,余华因这部小说于2004年3月荣获法兰西文学和艺术骑士勋章。

《活着》讲述一个人一生的故事,这是一个历尽世间沧桑和磨难老人的人生感言,是一幕演绎人生苦难经历的戏剧。小说的叙述者“我”在年轻时获得了一个游手好闲的职业——去乡间收集民间歌谣。在夏天刚刚来到的季节,遇到那位名叫福贵的老人,听他讲述了自己坎坷的人生经历;地主少爷福贵嗜赌成性,终于赌光了家业一贫如洗,穷困之中福贵因母亲生病前去求医,没想到半路上被国民党部队抓了壮丁,后被解放军所俘虏,回到家乡他才知道母亲已经过世,妻子家珍含辛茹苦带大了一双儿女,但女儿不幸变成了哑巴。

但真正的悲剧从此才开始渐次上演。家珍因患有软骨病而干不了重活;儿子因与县长夫人血型相同,为救县长夫人抽血过多而亡;女儿凤霞与队长介绍的城里的偏头二喜喜结良缘,产下一男婴后,因大出血死在手术台上;而凤霞死后三个月家珍也相继去世;二喜是搬运工,因吊车出了差错,被两排水泥板夹死;外孙苦根便随福贵回到乡下,生活十分艰难,就连豆子都很难吃上,福贵心疼便给苦根煮豆吃,不料苦根却因吃豆子撑死……生命里难得的温情将被一次次死亡撕扯得粉碎,只剩得老了的福贵伴随着一头老牛在阳光下回忆。

福贵这一生是悲剧性的,苦难,痛苦,磨难和他就像一对“双胞胎”,从来没有离开过这样一位善良的农民。福贵最后感慨出:活着,好好活着,我们只能等待被时间和命运遗弃,而没有权利抛弃生命,在生命面前,也许不能不感叹人类的无力吧,改变不了活着的事实,就改变活着的态度吧,只要活着,总有希望,态度也许至少是可以改变活着的状态,或者好,或者差,只要在生命的尽头至少可以告诉自己,我活过,也曾经努力过。他在不可改变的现实中被妥协,亲人一个个地离世使得福贵得以成长,同时让福贵拥有将生命继续下去的勇气。

在小说的讲述中,富贵的口气一直平平淡淡,似乎在讲述别人的故事一般,而他是旁观者。那里所有的一切都是那样真切,但他自己却没有很强烈的感情投入。甚至故事里还有了许多让人忍俊不禁的场面。富贵的讲述很直白,却很吸引人,不知不觉就被他的故事牵住,不断想知道接下来的事。他做地主少爷时的放荡、颓败,现在看来只能是他人生的一段黑点。那些富有却不会珍惜的日子早如流水一去不返,只能成为脑中回忆。余华说:福贵应该有比别人更多的死去的理由,但他却好好的活着,送走了家里一个又一个亲人,一次次的经历死别,到最后只有他还勇敢的活着。或者正如作者余华自己说的那样:“或者是为了活着本身而活着,而不是为了活着之外的任何事物而活着。”所以到最后,谁也不知道富贵的活着到底是何种行为,他活着的意义的是什么?仅仅为了活着本身而活着?

《活着》展现了一个又一个人的死亡过程,掀起一波又一波无边无际的苦难波浪,表现了一种面对死亡过程的可能的态度。活着本身很艰难,延续生命就得艰难的活着,正因为异常艰难,活着才具有深刻的含义。没有比活着更美好的事,也没有比活着更艰难。

读完这本书,使我想起了最近的一则新闻消息,10月31日一架从埃及飞往俄罗斯圣彼得堡的俄罗斯航班坠毁,机上共217名乘客和7名机组,除俄罗斯游客还有两名乌克兰公民一名白俄罗斯公民。飞机起航约23分钟,失去联系,最后发现坠毁于埃及西奈半岛,机上224人,没有生还迹象。遇难者中有17名儿童,最小的还不满1岁。在这些失事人员中大部分都是整个家族出境旅游,遇难者遗体陆续运抵开罗。对于这起事件发生的原因,众说纷纭,埃及总理称机上无异常现象,坠机或因技术故障,具体的情况还需进一步的调查。最新消息一架俄罗斯货运机又坠毁了,自马航失事以来,飞机出现意外的频率很高,这不得不让我们反思这个世界到底怎么了,这给一个家庭带来了多少灾难,对一个家庭来说是多么大的痛苦。这也让我们这些活着的人没有理由不再珍惜已经拥有的时间,也没有理由再抱怨现实的残酷。

每天清晨醒来,呼吸着新鲜的空气,看着街道人来人往,你会感觉到:活着真好!在你人生不如意的时候,想想那些还未来得及好好看看这个世界的人,你就会觉得活着真好!因为你比他们幸运,还有时间和家人相聚在一起,还有时间去实现自己的梦想,创造自我价值,为这个世界奉献一份微薄之力。等自己老了,走不到了,回想自己年轻时候的点点滴滴,也不会因为自己碌碌无为而感到后悔,有梦想就去追吧,万一实现了呢?

对于大多数人来说,人活着的意义在于责任,出于一份对父母及家庭的责任。我记得初中时老师给我们讲了一段刻苦铭心的寄语:人为什么要有肩旁,就是因为你生下来就要承担责任,责任伴随着你的一生。是啊,生命只有一次,不管你是怎么来到这个世界,既来之,则安之,每件事物都有它存在的道理。顿时觉得那些因为事事不如意而选择逃避,轻生的人,或许他们是真的没有了人生奋斗的目标,但我觉得无论你对生命的感慨是什么,无论你的生活是多么不如意,你没有理由去选择轻生,因为你还有那么多爱你的人及你爱的人,不管是什么时候,想想那些比你还要悲惨的人,想想你的家庭,你的离去会给他们带来多大的痛苦及多大的伤害,别因为自己承担不了责任,而拖累别人,多为别人着想,多替别人考虑。

珍爱生命,热爱生活。每个人的生命只有一次,并且每个人的生命都是不同的,各具特色。不要埋怨生活的快节奏,也不要因为昨天的逝去而苦恼,把握好今天,规划好明天,活出一个与众不同的自己。

Books are the ladder of human progress, like a spring of a wisp of dawn, a moonlight, comfortable, warm and soft.

There is no exact definition of the word happiness. Happy people are happy for all sorts of reasons. The key is not wealth or physical well-being, since we find beggars, invalids and so-called failures, who are extremely happy.

Being happy is a sort of unexpected dividend. But staying happy is an accomplishment, a triumph of soul and character. It is not selfish to strive for it. It is, indeed, a duty to ourselves and others.

Being unhappy is like an infectious disease. It causes people to shrink away from the sufferer. He soon finds himself alone, miserable and embittered. There is, however, a cure so simple as to seem, at first glance, ridiculous; if you dont feel happy, pretend to be!

It works. Before long you will find that instead of repelling people, you attract them. You discover how deeply rewarding it is to be the center of wider and wider circles of good will.

Then the make-believe becomes a reality. You possess the secret of peace of mind, and can forget yourself in being of service to others.

Being happy, once it is realized as a duty and established as a habit, opens doors into unimaginable gardens thronged with grateful friends.

篇14:高二英语作文:照顾老人

全文共 1590 字

+ 加入清单

导语:尊敬老人一直是中华民族的传统美德,我们要多多照顾他们,下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!

In the picture, an old man is sitting in the wheelchair, and a dog is serving him with milk and food. Ironically, it is the dog that takes the responsibility to attend the old man. We cannot help wondering where the old man’s grown up children are. It is they not the dog who should take good care of their old father.

The implied meaning of the picture is really provoking. It is quite true that in our society there are some grown-up children who treat their old parents badly. When their old parents are too old to take care of themselves, they often view them as a “burden” of their family life. They refuse either to support their aging parents financially or to look after them. No doubt, this immoral behavior of these grown-up children’s should be subject to social condemnation.

To respect the old has long been a traditional virtue of the Chinese people. We should always bear in mind that we are much indebted to our parents in that they not only gave us life but have done much to bringing us up. It is against conscience to escape from the responsibility to take care of our parents. Rather, we should pay back for the love and care of our parents by making their later years happy and enjoyable.

【参考译文】

在这幅画中,有一位老人坐在轮椅上, 一只狗正在给他送牛奶和食物。具有讽刺意义的是,是狗在承担待候老人的责职。我们不禁要发问老人的成年子女在哪里?好好照顾年迈的父亲应该是他们而不是狗。

这幅画的寓意真是发人深省。确实,在我们的社会里有些成年子女不能善待老父母。当老父年迈不能照顾自己时,他们经常把父母看作家庭生活的负担,不愿在经济上赡养或生活上照料老人。毫无疑问,成年子女这种不道德的行为应受到社会的谴责。

尊敬老人一直是中华民族的传统美德。我们应该永远牢记:我们应该对父母感恩,因为父母不仅给了我们生命,而且为抚育我们长大为我们付出了太多太多。逃避照顾的责任父母是违背良心的。我们应该让他们晚年生活快乐,回报他们对我们的关爱。

As the development of the world, there is more and more entertainment for people to kill time. Reading used to be an important amusement. But now there are less and less people fond of reading. But there are still a large number of people stand on the side of reading. For me, I think reading is very important. The reasons are as following.

First of all, reading can broaden our vision. The main way we learn the things happen long time ago is according to the book. People will try their best to write the things in their stage in their way. When we read books, we have the opportunity to learn everything. The content in the books contains the knowledge all over the world and every aspect. We can read the knowledge about biography, science, technology, culture, economic and so on from the book. It is hard not to broaden vision from reading.

Secondly, reading can cultivate our taste. I am sure that reading some elegant sentence or the beautiful things described in the book will make us feel relax and comfortable. And we all know that the more knowledge a person has, the better-behaved he will be. I think this is the charming of reading. If there are more people like reading, the world will become more civilized.

The importance mentioned above just a part of reading. It has so many advantages that I can’t list all in a short time. It is irreplaceable in human beings’ life.

随着世界的发展,越来越多娱乐供人们消磨时光。阅读在过去常常就是一种重要的娱乐。但现在却越来越少人喜欢阅读了。但仍然还有很多人是喜欢看书的。对我来说,我认为阅读是很重要的。理由如下。

首先,阅读可以开阔我们的视野。我们了解很久以前发生的事情的主要方式是通过阅读。人们用他们自己的方式尽自己最大的努力写关于他们那个年代的事情。我们看书的时候,我们才有机会了解到一切。书中的内容包含知识的方方面面。通过书籍我们可以了解到关于传记,科学,技术,文化,经济等方面的知识。从阅读中,我们的视野很难不被拓宽。

其次,阅读可以陶冶我们的情操。我相信阅读一些优美的句子或者书中描述的美丽东西会使我们感到放松和舒适。我们都知道一个人拥有的知识越多,那个人就会表现得越好。我觉得这就是阅读的魅力。如果有更多的人喜欢阅读,这个世界会变得更加文明。

上面所提到的重要性只是其中一部分。阅读有很多的优点,在短时间内我都不能一一列举我不能列举。它在人类的生活中是不可替代的。

篇17:《水浒传》阅读感悟笔记

全文共 676 字

+ 加入清单

我从小就喜欢看小说,尤其是对《三国演义》、《水浒传》、《西游记》等书,很感兴趣,能够说是百看不厌。此刻就单讲《水浒传》。

读完了水浒传,我认为这本书有三大好处。

第一点,也是最引人入胜的一点,就是书中那一百单八将。人物虽称不上个个性格鲜明,但也每人都有自我的拿手绝活,例如浪里白条张顺水性奇佳、智多星吴用文武双全、还有入云龙公孙胜令人闻风丧胆的魔法,哪一个不是人中奇才?有人说《水浒传》里108将是勉强凑齐的,就是为了凑传说中的108星。可如果要是真这样写,那么不仅仅少了一份奇幻色彩,也丢失了一百单八将从天而降的好处,水浒传在人物塑造方面可谓是极品。

第二点就是《水浒传》中对剧情的刻画描述。《水浒传》从九纹龙大闹史家村到一百单八将聚一堂,从宋江奉招破大辽到微宗皇帝梦游梁山伯,中间事情的繁琐,人物众多。可作者施耐庵在写作方面,能够说是游刃有余,由不得你不继续往下看。仿佛自我到了真实的故事中去了一般,真是让人叹服。

第三点我要说的是《水浒传》对于历史的记述。我认为,这样一个类似于“神话”的故事,可对当时民不聊生、外敌入侵、军队战斗力下降的社会表现从一个特殊的角度进行了分析。大家想,如果国家太平、人民生活舒适;如果徽宗皇帝向唐明皇一样,那么怎样会有数万好汉奋勇起义?但有一点我不明白,宋江为什么不推翻宋朝,自我做皇帝。而要投降宋朝,做宋朝的奴才。不明白!不明白!看来,水浒传不止是一本有意思的小说,更是一本反映当时社会和机关腐败的历史书。

《水浒传》里虽然有一些是虚构的,但这本书不仅仅能够联系现代的社会,还写出了古代机关的腐败。

《水浒传》真是一本好书呀!

“就因为衣服肆无忌惮,今天在草泽看到了七雄。”你读过吗?水浒传?我强烈地感受到了古代英雄的英气和品格。

《水浒传》年,108个勇士是兄弟,为了朋友赴汤蹈火。他们与朝廷的对抗深刻地反映了当时统治阶级的黑暗和腐败,让我深刻地理解了当时社会的复杂和普通人生活的艰辛。

其中,我最喜欢的角色是吴用,虽然不如青面兽杨志强壮;也不像宋武的坚强性格;但是,他深谙此道,学识渊博,足智多谋。经常拿自己和诸葛亮比,名字叫“突出老师”,被人称为“足智多谋”。是梁山起义军中知识分子的代表,是梁山起义军的军事家,是基层人民智慧的体现。

吴用曾经为晁盖出力,智取生辰班,打倒青面兽杨志,带走京中名府梁中书送给蔡太师过生日的金银珠宝十万件。宋江在浔阳楼读反诗被抓,和戴宗一起被带到刑场。待欲斩之时,吴以权谋劫赐田,救了宋江、戴宗。武惯破连环马,发兵偷甲,骗徐宁上梁山。他一生屡立奇谋,屡立战功。

不过我觉得吴用也有一些缺点,就是太执着于名副其实的宋江。因为宋江要“招安”,整个梁山都被利用了,108英雄被派去镇压农民起义。结果只剩下36个勇者,法院就利用这一点实施谋杀。他壮大了梁山,却亲手灭了梁山。他又因为李悝jy的脸而毒死了他。所以我对宋江的印象不是很好。因为他的意志,整本书的结局成了悲剧。宋江被杀,吴用上吊,读来可惜。

虽少不读水浒,老不读三国。但我认为我们青少年应该读《水浒传》:它反映了人们反对封建经济中的贫富悬殊,反对封建社会的阶级剥削和政治压迫。这是对封建地主阶级统治思想的宣战,反映了被压迫人民的愿望,与我们现在的社会恰恰相反。

篇20:老人与海英语读后感

全文共 9113 字

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .
