有一天晚上,忽然起了一阵可怕的暴风雨。天空在掣电,在打雷,在下着大雨。这真有点使人害怕!这时,有人在敲门,老国王就走过去开门。
站在城门外的是一位美丽的公主。可是,天哪!经过了风吹雨打之后,她的样子是多么难看啊!水沿着她的头发和衣服向下面流,流进鞋尖,又从脚跟流出来。她说她是一个真正的公主。
“是的,这点我们马上就可以考查出来。”老皇后心里想,可是她什么也没说。她走进卧房,把所有的被褥都搬开,在床榻上放了一粒豌豆。于是她取出二十床垫子,把它们压在豌豆上。随后,她又在这些垫子上放了二十床鸭绒被。
这位公主夜里就睡在这些东西上面。
早晨大家问她昨晚睡得怎样。
“啊,不舒服极了!”公主说,“我差不多整夜没有合上眼!天晓得我床上有件什么东西?有一粒很硬的东西硌着我,弄得我全身发青发紫,这真怕人!”
现在大家就看出来了,她是一位真正的公主,因为压在这二十床垫子和二十床鸭绒被下面的一粒豌豆,她居然还能感觉得出来。除了真正的公主以外,任何人都不会有这么嫩的皮肤的。
因此那位王子就选她为妻子了,因为现在他知道他得到了一位真正的公主。这粒豌豆因此也就送进了博物馆。如果没有人把它拿走的话,人们现在还可以在那儿看到它呢。

篇6:安徒生《海的女儿》读后感
全文共 468 字
+ 加入清单我最喜欢的一个故事就是《安徒生童话》中的《海的女儿》。那段人鱼与人之间的故事,那王子与人鱼之间的每一幕都让我感动。
我觉得,小人鱼是一条心地非常善良的“美人鱼”。因为当她的六个姐姐用自己漂亮的头发,从巫婆那换来了一把可以让小人鱼重生的尖刀。只要小人鱼把尖刀刺进王子的胸口,让王子的鲜血滴在她的脚上,那么她的脚就会立刻变成鱼尾巴,她又可以在大海里自由自在地活上整整五百年。假如是我,我一定不会辜负姐姐们的期望,会把王子杀死。但她并没有这样做。因为她知道,假如她把王子给杀掉了,那么会有另一个人和她一样痛苦,所以她不忍心下手,更不愿下手。小人鱼宁可牺牲自己,都不愿牺牲别人的幸福。从这可以看出,小人鱼的心灵是多么纯真。善良啊!
我不知为这个故事,为那条善良又可怜的小人鱼流了多少泪。一个人为了自己所爱人的幸福而牺牲自己的幸福是多么的不容易啊!又是多么的伟大!可我们平时在班中为了一点点小事而斤斤计较,甚至动起武来。当在小人鱼面前把自己的心灵抖露出来,是多么的羞愧啊!
故事是故事,好像离我们那么遥远,但我又觉得我离小人鱼那么近,因为那颗纯洁的心。

篇9:少年维特之烦恼英语读后感及翻译
全文共 5372 字
+ 加入清单The sorrows of young werther is a German writer johann Wolfgang Goethe is one of the most famous masterpiece. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, a German modern outstanding poets, writers and thinkers. The sorrows of young werther this epistolary novel written in first person, not only conveys the feudal system in Europe from the ancient to the capitalist system of excessive transformation period, the middle-aged and young generation to pursue "personality liberation", "emotional freedom", "return to nature of social status", "establishing equal relationship" between peoples strong desire, also illustrates the authors own distinct position. In 1774 published a novel has aroused strong repercussions, the whole of Europe an victor hot, Goethes hand revealed deep sleep in contemporary deeply excited all the secrets of the mind.
We can see victors image: tsing yi huang trousers and thin sensitive and sentimental. He kept the childlike innocence confronts the nature of his heart is bright and clean, like a deep stagnant water. He attaches great importance to the natural sincere feelings cherish his "heart is better than all other" Albert rational calm very unhappy. His love at first sight, for she had also because she is so innocent in manners do keep a girl lovely nature. Green, in the heart of victor is completely natural and beautiful his love for her is reached the degree of "forgetting"!
She is just victor lover? She is the embodiment of victor all ideal almost representative of beauty. When victors ideal in reality nothing is near, he met and she became his heart clings to object and shelter. His love for her is hot, unselfish, has deviated from the true meaning of love, because it is a kind of irrational and abnormal love, is not the final result of the destruction of others is to destroy them. Rather than his love and his love is his one thousand to from the conquest of the opposite sex to prove the existence of self value. Because of this, in the face of rational barriers victor heart will have such a complicated entanglements and deep pain. He hovered between reality and green, and the fact that, after all, not a lover and victor becomes more crazy. But he lost his friend victor all hope in life, the passion of youth, the courage of life is destroyed by a thus only to an extreme way -- suicide to show resistance of reality. Schiller profoundly analyzes the victors tragedy, he said: "a person with a warm feelings to hug an ideal and escape from reality in order to pursue the infinite reality; he constantly seek him in his outside forever in his own destruction in the nature of things; he felt his own dream is the only reality of his own experience is permanent; he sees their presence as bound shall crush it in order to further the absolute reality."
In the writers love is the greatest hero for it can cling to life; In the writers love is the small only is a tool for personality liberation and realize self value. The protagonist in the novel the continuous and endless memories, fierce inner conflict, also bitter sweet in love feeling, only when he was unable to get a beloved is cruel and gloomy beauty. The so-called vigorous love and heart full of tears, is actually a thick young feelings and deep that must not turn dark young sorrow. Youth it is destined to always full of unease and restlessness, too many boiling blood to be cathartic for ideal can be without any hesitation.
The heroine in the sorrows of young werther self-consciousness is quite strong. Youth and beauty are what he ardently desire. Born for freedom, he died for freedom, he would rather die than to give up his ideal and pursuit. However the value goal of how to implement? Will not, of course, through the practice of reforming society, we have not such ideological awareness, the hero of them, the fate of the palm is only one are pieces of quiet. So they can only choose to make love till death do it the end of time and regret, then maybe can express in the heart of anguish? In this sense it is not only their personal tragedy, also is the tragedy of The Times.
参考翻译:
少年维特之烦恼是德国作者约翰·沃尔夫冈·歌德最著名的代表作之一。歌德是德国近代杰出的诗人、作家和思想家。少年维特之烦恼这部以第一人称写就的书信体小说,不仅传达了欧洲从古老的封建制度向资本主义制度过度的转型时期,中青年一代追求“个性解放”、“感情自由”、“恢复自然的社会状态”、“建立平等的人与人之间的关系”的强烈愿望,也阐明了作者自身鲜明的立场。1774年小说一发表便引起了强烈的反响,整个欧洲掀起了一阵维特热,歌德的手揭开了沉睡在当代的深深激动着的心灵里的一切秘密。
我们可以想见维特的形象:青衣黄裤清秀而瘦弱敏感而多情。他保持了童真的本性面对世界时他的心明净如一泓清水。他重视自然真诚的感情珍视他的“心胜于其它一切”对阿尔伯特似的理智冷静的人非常不满。他对绿蒂的一见钟情、一往情深也正是因为她如此天真无邪在举止行事中保持了一个少女可爱的自然本性。绿蒂在维特的心中完全就是自然与美的化身他对她的爱简直达到了“忘我”的程度!
绿蒂难道仅仅是维特的恋人?她几乎是维特全部理想的化身美的代表。当维特的理想在现实中无所依傍的时候,他遇见了绿蒂,绿蒂成为了他心灵的攀附对象和避难所。他对她的爱虽是炽热的、忘我的,却已偏离了爱的真义,因为这是一种非理性的、变态的爱,最后的结果不是毁灭他人就是毁灭自己。与其说他爱的是绿蒂,不如说他爱的是他自己千方百计地要从对异性的征服中证明自我存在的价值。正因为如此,在理性的藩篱面前维特的内心才会产生如此复杂的纠葛和深沉的痛苦。他在现实与绿蒂之间徘徊而终究得不到爱人的事实又使维特变得愈加疯狂。最终他还是失去了绿蒂维特全部的人生希望、青春的热情、生活的勇气都被一道摧毁从而只得以极端的方式——自杀来表露对现实的反抗。席勒深刻地分析了维特的悲剧他说:“一个人物以热烈的感情拥抱一个理想并且逃避现实以便追求非现实的无限;他不断地在他身外寻求他永远在他自己的天性中所破坏的东西;他觉得他自己的梦想才是唯一现实的东西他自己的经验无非是永久的束缚;他把自己的存在看作是束 缚应当把它粉碎以便深入绝对的现实。”
在作家的笔下爱情是伟大的主人公为它生可以死死可以生;在作家的笔下爱情又是渺小的只不过是承载个性解放和实现自我价值的工具。小说里主人公那绵绵无尽的情思、激烈的内心冲突、亦苦亦甜的恋爱感受,只有在他无法得到心上人时才具有残酷而无望的美的意味。所谓轰轰烈烈的爱情与充满血泪的心路,事实上是浓得化不开的年少情愫与深黯的少年悲戚。青春向来就注定充满不安和躁动,太多沸腾的热血亟待宣泄为理想献身可以无半点犹疑。
在少年维特之烦恼中主人公的自我意识相当强烈。青春和美都是他热切向往的东西。他为自由而生,为自由而死,他宁死也不愿放弃自己的理想和追求。然而这种价值目标如何实现呢?当然不可能通过改造社会的实践,我们的主人公还没有这样的思想觉悟,他们,在命运的掌心里只能是一枚渺续安静的棋子。因此他们只能选择爱爱它个地老天荒、至死不悔,这样或许能抒发心中的苦闷?在这个意义上说这不仅仅是他们个人的悲剧,也是整个时代的悲剧。
篇10:《羊脂球》英语读后感
全文共 4266 字
+ 加入清单Guy de Maupassant(18501893), one of the greatest critical realist writers in the world, is considered as one of three kings of world short story。 Maupassant created six novels and 359 medium forms during his brief lifetime, engendering a momentous effect on the later literature. And it’s his maiden work, Suet Ball that won him world-wide prestige.
In1870, with the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War, the real-based story Suet Ball happened. The heroine of the story is a humble harlot called Suet Ball. With a group of French residents of Rouen, recently occupied by the Prussian army, the 11 travelers are on their way fleeing to Le Havre in a stagecoach. In virtue of the appalling weather, the stagecoach moves rather slowly and has just covered a few miles by midday. Initially, those occupants snub Suet Ball whereas their attitudes alters with the emergence of a basket filled with scrumptious food and she caters for those hungry travelers selflessly.
The carriage doesn’t stop until they blunders into a Prussian-held territory called T?tes. A Prussian officer detains the coach with no definite reasons. In the next two days, the occupants wait with barely concealed impatience and eventually Suet Ball tells that they will be detained perpetually unless she approves of sleeping with the officer. Out of her patriotism, Suet Ball gives him a point-blank refusal. As it should be, those travelers behave furiously to the officer"s arrogance while during the next two days, they exemplify logic and morality in diverse ways to convince Suet Ball of its validity. What a kind-hearted girl! Finally Suet Ball gives up and sacrifices her body for everyone’s freedom.
The next morning, they are permitted to leave. But those "representatives of Virtue" totally neglect Suet Ball, casting scathing sights on the poor young woman while even disdaining talking to her and rejecting sharing their food with her in the same way that she did at the beginning. From their perspectives, Suet Ball turns out to be no more utilizable and should be condemned for her ashamed conduct. As the stagecoach travels deeper into the night, she seethes with rage against those hypocrites, and ultimately weeps for her lost dignity.
In this story, Maupassant highlighted the intense comparison between Suet Ball and the so-called nobles. Rapacity, hypocrisy, sexuality and nobility intertwine in the spotlight,eulogizing the underclass’ patriotism and lampooning the sham of the aristocracy. Maupassant portrays the inhabitants of the stagecoach in varied disparaging ways. The most luminous character belongs to the two nuns. At first they are portrayed as tranquil and subservient to Lord and demonstrate their fiery patriotic desire to dedicate to their motherland rather than a sordid intention like the other passengers: the nuns profess to haste to a military hospital to heal the wounded French soldiers, hence presenting the argument towards instigating Suet Ball to abandon her resistance. How absurd it is! Nuns are supposed to take strait vows and treat others benevolently. They fill Suet Ball"s head with arguments, arguing that it is not morally wrong to sleep with the officer in order to let the travelers leave, and that the longer she waits, the more young French soldiers will die as the nuns are not there to look after them. Superficially, they claim that it is for the good of the country but indeed they’re just taking advantage of her. Suet Ball"s resistance to the officer"s sexual advances again indicate her patriotism. Cruel wars have stripped all the external stuffs. In contrast to all of these is Suet Ball, a prostitute, revealed to be the most fiercely patriotic, virtuous, and morally admirable character, which Maupassant contrasts with the hypocrisy and snobbery of the others.
It is arguably Maupassant’s most famous short story. The carriage constitutes a microcosm of French society as a whole. And the narrative techniques of this story are rather sophisticated and carefully conceived. On balance, a real noble person like Suet Ball can’t be judged by the appearance or the occupation, his/ her moral quality will glitter when confronting the real ordeal. Consequently, I deem that Suet Ball is worth reading lingeringly, savoring every word.
篇11:铜猪--安徒生童话
全文共 8824 字
+ 加入清单在佛罗伦萨城①里,离大公爵广场不远,有一条小小的横街,我想它是叫做波尔塔·罗萨。在这条街上的一个蔬菜市场前面,有一只艺术性非常强的铜猪。这个动物因为年代久远,已经变成了墨绿色。一股新鲜清亮的水从它嘴里喷出来。它的鼻子发着光,好像有人把它擦亮了似的。事实上也是如此:成千上万的小孩子和穷人,常常用手抓住这动物的鼻子,把嘴凑上去喝水。当你看到一个半裸着的天真孩子紧紧地抱着这只好看的动物,把鲜红的嘴唇凑到它的鼻子上的时候,这真是一幅美丽的图画。
无论什么人,一到佛罗伦萨来就很容易找到这块地方。他只须问一声他所碰到的头一个乞丐,就可以找到这只古铜猪。
这是一个冬天的夜晚,夜深了。山上都盖满了雪;可是月亮还在照着,而且意大利的月光,跟阴惨惨的北欧冬天的日光比起来,也不见得有什么逊色。不,比那还要好,因为空气在发着光,使人感到轻快;而在北欧呢,那种寒冷、灰色、像铅一样的阴沉气氛,把我们压到地上——压到又寒又湿的、将来总有一天会埋葬我们的棺材的地上。
在公爵的花园里,在一片松树林下面——这儿有一千株玫瑰在冬天开着花——有一个衣衫褴楼的孩子,他坐了一整天。他是意大利的一个缩影:那么美丽,满脸微笑,但是极端穷苦。他是又饥又渴,谁也不给他一个毫子。天黑了的时候,这花园的门要关了,看守人就把他赶出来。他站在亚尔诺河②的桥上,沉思了好久。他望着星星——它们在他和这座美丽的大理石桥之间的水上闪耀着。
他向那个铜猪走去。他半跪在地上,用双手抱着它的脖子,同时把小嘴凑到它亮光光的鼻子上去,喝了一大口新鲜水。附近有几片生菜叶子和一两个栗子:这就是他的晚餐。这时街上什么人也没有,只有他一个人。他骑在铜猪的背上,腰向前弯,他长满了望发的头掘到这动物的头上。在不知不觉之间,他就睡去了。
这是半夜。铜猪动了一下。于是他就听到它很清楚地说:“你这小家伙,骑稳啦,我可要开始跑了!”它就真的背着他跑起来了。这真是一次很滑稽的旅行。他们先跑到大公爵广场上去。背着那位大公爵塑像的大铜马高声地嘶鸣了一阵。老市政府门框上的彩色市徽射出光来,像透亮的图案;米开朗基罗的“大卫”③在挥动掷石器④。这些东西中有一种奇异的生命在搏动着!表现珀尔修斯⑤和萨比尼人的⑥被蹂躏的一系列的古铜像,不仅仅都有生命,而且还发出一阵死亡的叫声,在这个孤寂的、美丽的广场上震响。
铜猪在乌菲齐宫⑦旁的拱道下面停下来了——从前的贵族常常到这儿过狂欢节。
“骑稳啦!”这动物说,“骑稳啦,因为我们现在要上楼了。”这小家伙一半儿高兴,一半儿吃惊,说不出一句话来。
他们走进一条很长的画廊。这地方他很熟悉,因为他曾经来过。墙上挂满了画;这儿还有许多全身像和半身像。它们被最明亮的灯光照着,好像是在白天一样。不过,当通到旁边房间的门打开的时候,那景象真是再美丽也没有了。这孩子记得这儿的华丽景象,不过在今天夜里,一切更显得非凡地壮丽。
这儿立着一个可爱的裸体妇人,她是那么美,只有大自然和最伟大的艺术家才能把她创造出来。她的美丽的肢体在轻柔地移动;她的脚下有海豚在跳跃;她的双眼射出永恒不朽的光芒。世人把她叫作美第奇的“维纳斯”⑧。她的两旁立着许多大理石像——它们都被注人了生命的精灵。这些都是美丽的裸体男子;有一个正在磨剑,因此他被叫做磨创人。另一系列的雕像是一群搏斗的武士;斗士们都在磨剑,他们都要争取这位美的女神。
这孩子在这种壮观面前感到惊奇。墙上射出种种的光彩,一切都有生命,都能动作。维纳斯——现世的维纳斯像——丰满而又热情,正如提香⑨见到她时一样,显出双重的形象。这真是一种奇观。这是两个美丽女人的画像:她们娇美的、棵着的肢体伸在柔软的垫子上;她们的胸脯在起伏地动着,头也在动着,弄得浓密的馨发垂到圆润的肩上,同时那一双双乌黑的眼睛表示出她们炽热的内心。不过没有任何一张画敢走出画框。美的女神、斗士和磨创人留在自己的原位上,因为圣母、耶稣和圣约翰所射出的荣光,把他们罩住了。这些神圣的画像已经不再是画像了,他们就是神本身。
从这一个回到那一个殿,是说不尽的光彩!是说不尽的美丽!这小家伙把这些东西全都看了,因为铜猪是一步一步地走过这些美和这些光。下一幅画总是冲淡头一幅画的印象。只有一幅图画在他的灵魂里面深深地生下了根,这是因为它里面有很多幸福的孩子——而这小家伙有一次在大白天里曾经对这些孩子点过头。
有许多人在这幅画面前漠不关心地走过,而这幅画却是一个诗的宝库。它表现救世主走向地狱。不过他周围的人并不是受难者,而是邪教徒。这幅画是佛罗伦萨人安季奥罗·布龙切诺⑩绘的。它里面最美的东西是孩子面上的表情——他们认为自己能走进天国的那种信心;有两个小家伙已经拥抱在一起,还有一个在对那个站在他下面的伸着手,似乎在说:“我要到天国去了!”年纪大的人都站在那儿犹疑,有的在希望,有的在主耶稣面前卑微地低着头。
这孩子把这幅画看得比任何画都久,铜猪静静地站在画的前面。这时有一个低微的叹息声发出来了:它是从这幅画里发出来的呢,还是从这动物发出来的?小家伙对那些微笑着的孩子们高举起手来……于是铜猪就背着他跑出去了,一直跑出那个敞开着的大门。
“我感谢你和祝福你,你——可爱的动物!”小家伙说,同时把铜猪拍了几下。它就砰!砰!跳下了台阶。
“我也感谢你和祝福你!”铜猪说。“我帮助了你,你也帮助了我呀,因为只有当一个天真的孩子骑在我背上的时候,我才能有力量跑动!是的。你看吧,我还能走到圣母画像面前那盏灯的光亮下面去呢。什么地方我都可以把你带去;只有教堂我不能进去!不过,只要你在我身上,我站在外面就可朝着敞开的大门看见里面的东西了。请你不要从我的背上溜下来吧;因为如果你这样做,我就会停下来死掉,像你白天在波尔塔·罗萨看到我的那个样子。”
“我不离开你,我亲爱的朋友!”小家伙说。于是他们就以飞快的速度跑过佛罗伦萨的街道,一直跑到圣克鲁采教堂前面的广场上。
教堂的门自动地向两边开了,祭坛上的灯光射到教堂外面来,一直射到这孤独的广场上。
教堂左边的一个墓碑上发出一道奇异的强光,无数移动着的星星在它周围形成一道光圈。墓上有一个纹章发出光辉,一架以绿色为背景的红色梯子射出火一般的光焰,这就是伽利略⑾的坟墓。这是一个朴素的墓碑,不过这绿地上的红色梯子是一种极有意义的纹章:它好像就代表艺术,因为艺术的道路总是经过一个灼热的梯子通到天上去的。一切心灵的先知⑿都升到天上,像先知伊里亚⒀一样。
在教堂的右边,刻满了花纹的石棺上的每一个半身像,似乎都具有生命。这儿立着米开朗基罗;那儿立着戴有桂冠的但了、阿尔菲爱里⒁和马基雅弗利⒂,因为在这儿,伟人们——意大利的光荣——都是并排地躺在一起。这是一座华丽的教堂,比佛罗伦萨的大理石主教堂更美丽,但是没有那样宽大。
那些大理石刻的衣服似乎在飘动,那些巨大的石像似乎把头抬得更高,在黑夜的歌声和音乐中,朝着那明亮的、射出光彩的祭坛凝望——这儿有一群穿着白衣的孩子在挥动着金制的香炉。强烈的香烟从教堂流到外面空旷的广场上。
这孩子向这闪耀着的光辉伸出手来。在这同时,铜猪又开始奔跑:他得把它紧紧地抱着。风在他的耳边呼啸;他听到教堂关门的时候,门上的枢轴发出嘎吱的响声。在这同时,他的知觉似乎离开了他,他打了一个寒颤,就醒了。
这是早晨。他仍然坐在铜猪的背上,但他差不多已经要滚下来了。这只猪仍然像过去一样,立在波尔塔·罗萨的那块老地方。
这孩子一想起那个他称为“母亲”的女人,心中就充满了恐惧和战栗。她昨天叫他出去讨几个钱回来,到现在他却一个铜子也没有弄到手,并且还感到又饥又渴。他又把铜猪的脖子拥抱了一次,吻了吻它的鼻子,对它点点头,然后就走开了。他走进一条最狭小的街道——狭小得只够让一只驮着东西的驴子走过去。一扇用铁皮包着的大门半掩身。他走。进去,爬上了砖铺的梯子——梯子两边的墙非常脏,只有一根光滑的绳子算是梯子的扶手。他一直爬到晒着许多破衣的阳台上。从这儿又有一道梯子通到下边的院子。这里有一口水井,同时有许多铁丝从这口井牵到各层的楼上。许多水桶并排地悬着;轴转格格地响起来,于是水桶就在空中东摇西摆,水洒得满院子都是。另外还有一道要倒的砖梯通到楼上。有两个俄国水手正在兴匆匆地走下楼来,几乎把这个可怜的孩子撞倒了:他们在这儿狂欢了一夜,正要回到船上去。一个年纪不小的胖女人,长着一头粗硬的黑发,送他们下楼。
“你带了什么东西回来?”她问这孩子。
“请不要生气吧!”他哀求着。“我什么东西也没有讨到——什么东西也没有!”他紧抱着“母亲”的衣服,好像想要吻它似的。
他们走进一个小房间里去。我不想来描写它。我只想说一件事情:房间里有一个带把手的土体子,里面烧着炭火。它的名字叫做“玛丽多”⒃。她把这钵子抱在怀里,暖着自己的手指。随后她就用手肘把这孩子一推。
“你总会带回几个钱吧?”她问。
孩子哭起来。她用脚踢了他几下,他哭得更厉害起来。
“请你放安静一点,不然我就会把你这个尖叫的脑袋敲破!”她举起手中抱着的火钵打过去。孩子发出一声尖叫,倒在地上。这时一位邻居走进来了,她也抱着一个“玛丽多”。
“菲丽姬达,你又在对这孩子干什么?”
“这孩子是我的!”菲丽姬达回答说。“只要我高兴,就可以把他打死,也可以把你打死,贾妮娜!”
于是她挥舞着火钵。另一位也举起了火钵,采取自卫行动。这两个火钵互相殴打,弄得碎片、火星和火灰在屋里四处飞扬。可是孩子就在这时候溜出门,穿过天井,跑出去了。这可怜的孩子一直在跑,连气也喘不过来。他在圣·克鲁采教堂面前停下来。头天晚上这教堂的门还是为他开着的。他走进去。一切都在放射着光辉。他在右边的第一个坟旁跪下来。这是米开朗基罗的坟。他马上放声大哭。有的人来,有的人去。他们念着弥撒,可是谁也没有理会这孩子。只有一个年老的市民停住望了他一眼,随后也像其余的人一样,离去了。
饥渴折磨着这孩子;他已经没有气力,病了。他爬到墙和大理石墓碑之间的一个角落里,睡着了。这时已经将近黄昏,有一个人拉了他一下,把他惊醒了。他跳起来,原来刚才那位老市民正站在他面前。
“你病了吗?你的家在什么地方?你在这儿待了一整天吗?”这是这位老人所问的许多问题中的几个问题。
他回答了。这位老人把他带到附近一条偏僻的街上的一个小屋子里去。他们来到一个制造手套的店里。当他们走进去的时候,有一个妇人在忙着缝纫。有一只小小的白哈巴狗——它身上的毛剃得精光,人们看得见它鲜红的皮肤——在桌上跳来跳去,又在这孩子面前翻起跟头来。
“天真的动物马上就相互认识了。”女人说。
她抚摸着孩子和小狗。这对善良的夫妇给这孩子一些食物和饮料,同时说他可以在这儿过一夜,第二天裘赛比爸爸可以到他母亲面前去讲情。他在一个简陋的小床上睡觉,不过对于他这个常常在硬石板上睡觉的人来说,这床简直是太舒服了。他睡得很好,梦见那些美丽的绘画和那只铜猪。
裘赛比爸爸第二天早上出去了。这个可怜的孩子对于这件事并不高兴,因为他知道他出去的目的是要把他送回到他母亲那儿去。于是他哭起来,吻着那只快乐的小狗。那妇人点点头,表示同意他们俩的行为。
裘赛比爸爸带回了什么消息呢?他跟他的太太讲了很久的话,而她一直在点着头,抚摸着孩子的脸。“他是一个很可爱的孩子!”她说。“他也能像你一样,成为一个很能干的手套匠人!你看,他有多么细致的手指!圣母注定他要成为一位手套制造家。”
孩子留在这家里,妇人教他缝手套;他吃得很好,睡得也很好,而且很快乐,他还开始跟“最美的人儿”——就是这只小狗的名字——开玩笑呢;可是妇人伸出手指来吓他,骂他,还和他生气。这触动了孩子的心事。他在他的小房间里默默地坐着。房间面对一条晒着许多皮的街道;窗子上有很多的铁栏杆。他睡不着,因为他在想念那只铜猪。这时他忽然听到外面有一阵“扑嗒!扑嗒!”的声音。这一定是那只猪了。他跳到窗子那儿去,可是什么也看不见——它已经走过去了。
“快帮助先生提他的颜料匣子吧。”太太第二天早上对孩子说。这时他们的一位年轻邻居——一位画家——正提着颜料匣子走过。
孩子拿起颜料匣子,跟着这位画家走了;他们走到美术陈列馆,登上台阶——那晚他曾经骑着铜猪到这台阶上来过,所以他记得很清楚。他认得出那些半身像和绘画,那座美丽的大理石雕的维纳斯,和那用彩色活灵活现地绘出的维纳斯。他又看到了圣母、救世主和圣约翰。
他们在布龙切诺绘的那幅像面前站着,一声不响。在这幅画里,耶稣走到下界,许多孩子在他的周围微笑,幸福地等待走进天国。这个穷苦的孩子也在微笑,因为他觉得好像天国就在眼前。
“你现在回去吧!”画家站了一会儿,把画架架好以后说。
“我能看看你画画吗?”孩子问。“我可以看看你在这张白帆布上把那幅画画下来吗?”
“我现在还不能马上就画,”画家回答说。他取出一支黑粉笔。他的手在很快地挥动,眼睛在打量那张伟大的绘画。虽然他只画出几根很细的线条,救世主的形象却现出来了,像在那张彩色画里一样。
“你为什么不走呢?”画家问。
这孩子默默不语地走回家去。他坐在桌子旁边学习缝手套。
但是他整天在想那个美术陈列馆。因此有时他的针刺着了他的手指,使他显得很笨拙。不过他再也不去逗着“最美的人儿”玩了。当黄昏到来、门还是开着的时候,他就偷偷地溜出去。这是一个很寒冷、但是星光满天的晚上,既美丽,又明亮。他走过几条静寂的街道,不久就走到铜猪面前来了。他对它弯下腰来,在它光滑的鼻子上吻了一下,于是他就骑上它的背。
“你这个幸福的动物!”他说;“我是多么想念着你啊!我们今天晚上要去逛逛才好。”
铜猪立着一动也不动。新鲜的泉水从它的嘴里喷出来。这小家伙像一个骑师似地坐着。这时他觉得有人在拉他的衣服。他朝旁边一看,原来是“最美的人儿”来了——那个毛剃得光光的“最美的人儿”。这小狗也是跟他一道偷偷地溜出屋子的,而他却没有发现。“最美的人儿”叫了几声,好像是在说:“你看我也来了,为什么你坐在这儿呢?”这条小狗在这块地方比一条凶猛的蟒蛇还要使这孩子害怕。像那位老太太说的一样,“最美的人儿”居然跑到街上来了,而且还没有穿上衣服哩!结果会怎样呢?小狗除非披上了一块羔羊皮,它在冬天是从来不出门的。这块羔羊皮是专为它裁制的。它是用一根红缎带系在小狗的脖子上的,此外还有一个蝴蝶结和小铃挡;另外还有二根带子系在它的肚子上。当小狗在冬天穿着这样的衣服和女主人一块散步的时候,它很像一只羔羊。现在“最美的人儿”却在外面而没有穿上衣服!这会产生一个什么结果呢?他做了许许多多的推想。不过他又吻了这铜猪一次,把“最美的人儿”抱进怀里;这小东西冻得发抖,因此这孩子尽快地向前跑。
“你抱着一件什么东西跑得这样快?”他在路上遇着的两个宪兵问他,同时“最美的人儿”也叫起来。“你从什么地方偷来这只漂亮的小狗的?”他们问,并且把小狗从他手中夺过来。
“啊,请把小狗还给我吧!”孩子哀求着。
“假如你没有偷它,你可以回去告诉家里的人,叫他们到警察局来领取。”接着他们把地址告诉他,就带着“最美的人儿”走了。
这真是糟糕透顶的事儿!孩子不知道应该跳到亚尔诺河里去呢,还是回家去坦白一番好。他想,他们一定会把他打死的。
“不过我倒很愿意被打死。如果我死了,我可以去找耶稣和圣母!”于是他回到家里去,准备被打死。
门已经关上了,他的手又够不到门环。街上什么人也没有,只有一块松石头。他就拿起这块石头敲着门。
“是谁?”里面有人问。
“是我,”他说。“‘最美的人儿’逃走了。请开门,打死我吧!”
大家为这“最美的人儿”感到非常狼狈,特别是太太。她马上朝那经常挂着小狗的衣服的墙上看。那块羔羊皮还在那儿。
“‘最美的人儿’在警察局里!”她大声叫起来,“你这个坏蛋!你怎样把它弄出去的,它会冻死的!可怜娇嫩的小东西,现在落到粗暴的丘八手中去了!
爸爸马上就出去了——太太恸哭起来,孩子在流着眼泪。住在这幢房子里的人全都跑来了,那位画家也来了:他把孩子抱在他双腿中间,问了他许多问题。他从这孩子的一些不连贯的话语中听到关于铜猪和美术陈列馆的整个故事——这故事当然是不太容易理解的。画家安慰了孩子一番,同时也劝了劝这位太太。不过,等到爸爸把在丘八们手中待过一阵子的“最美的人儿”带回家以后,她才算安静下来。随后大家就非常高兴。画家把这可怜的孩子抚摸了一会儿,同时送给他几张图画。
啊,这些真是可爱的作品——这么些滑稽的脑袋!……特别是那只栩栩如生的铜猪。啊。什么东西也没有比这好看!只是寥寥几笔就使它立在纸上,甚至它后面的房子也被画出来了。
“啊,如果一个人能够描写和绘画,那么他就可以把整个的世界摆在他面前了!”
第二天,当他身边没有人的时候,这小家伙拿出一支铅笔,在图画的背面临摹了那幅铜猪,而他居然做得很成功!——当然有些不太整齐,有点歪歪倒倒,一条腿粗,一条腿细,虽然如此,它的形象仍然很清楚。他自己对这成绩感到高兴。他看得很清楚,这支铅笔还不能随心所欲地灵活使用。不过,到第三天,原来的铜猪旁边又出现了另一只,而这一只比头一只要好一百倍,至于第三只,它是非常好,一眼就可以看得出来。
可是手套的生意并不兴旺;他的跑腿工作尽可以不慌不忙地去做。铜猪已经告诉了他:任何图画都可以在纸上画下来,而佛罗伦萨本身就是一个画册,只要人愿意去翻翻它就成。三一广场⒄上有一个细长的圆柱,上面是正义的女神的雕像。她的眼睛被布蒙着,手中拿着一个天平。马上她就被移到纸上来了,而移动她的人就正是手套制造匠的这个小学徒。他的画越积越多,不过全都是些静物。有一天,“最美的人儿”跳到他面前来了。
“站着不要动!”他说,“我要使你变得美丽,同时叫你留在我的画册里面。”
不过“最美的人儿”却不愿意站着不动,所以他就把它绑起来。它的头和尾巴都被绑住了,因此它就乱跳乱叫,结果他不得不把绳子拉得更紧。这时太太就来了。
“你这恶毒的孩子!——可怜的动物!”她这时能够说出来的就只是这句话。
她把这孩子推开,踢了他一脚,叫他滚出去——他,这个最忘恩负义的废料和最恶毒的孩子。于是她一把眼泪一把鼻涕地吻了这只被缢得半死的小小的“最美的人儿”。
正在这时候,那位画家走上楼来了。故事的转折点就从这时候开始。
1834年,佛罗伦萨的美术学院举行了一个展览会。有两张并排放着的画吸引住了许多观众。较小的那幅画表现一个快乐的小孩坐着作画——他的模特儿是一个毛剃得很光的小白哈巴狗;不过这东西不愿意静静地站着,因此它的脖子和尾巴便被一根线绑起来了。这幅画里有真理,也有生活,因而大家都对它感兴趣。画这幅画的人据说是一个年轻的佛罗伦萨的居民。他小时是一个流浪在街头的孤儿,由一个老手套匠养大,他是自修学好绘画的。一位驰名的画家发现了这个天才,而他发现的时候恰恰是这个孩子要被赶出去的时候,因为他把太太的一只心爱的小哈巴狗绑起来,想要它做个模特儿。
手套制造匠的徒弟成了一个伟大的画家:这幅画本身证明了这一点,而在它旁边一幅较大的画更证明了这一点。这里面只是绘着一个人像——一个衣衫褴楼的美貌的孩子,他睡在街上,靠着波尔塔·罗萨街上的那只铜猪⒅。所有的观众都知道这个地方。孩子的双臂搭在这只猪的头上,而他自己则在呼呼地酣睡。圣母画像面前的灯对这孩子苍白细嫩的面孔射出一道强有力的光——这是一张美丽的画!一架镀金的大画框镶着它,在画框的一角悬着一个桂花圈;可是在绿叶中间扎着一条黑带,黑带上面挂着一块黑纱。
因为这位青年艺术家在几天以前死去了!

篇12:关于远离尘嚣英语读后感
全文共 1785 字
+ 加入清单Let me just start by saying that I had been put off reading Thomas Hardye by Dickens. Having really struggled with Dickens and resorted to audio I had wrongly assumed that all 19C liturature was the same. How wrong I could be. From the first paragraph where the opening character farmer Gabriel Oak is desribed smiling, ‘the corners of his mouth spread till they were an unimportant distance from his ears‘ I fell in love with Hardy‘s narrative. His ability to use words that lift the description off the page and into the reader‘s imagination are not just outstanding but incredibly enjoyable.
I went into this book blindly, knowing little about the plot that lay ahead or even the genre. It has been described by some as romantic fiction. But I think this is too simplistic a title and and maybe slightly off-putting to some. Hardye steps into Greek Tragedy when the unwitting and churlish actions of our young protagonist, Bathsheba Everdene, result in a love tryst between three suitors with tragic consequenses.
The book is essentially a journey for Bathsheba into womanhood not unlike the journey that Scarlett O‘Hara makes in Gone with the Wind who also has to overcome great tragedy in order to realise her own strength. Unlike this heroin, however, Bathsheba is more the instrument of chaos and indecion and part of her journey is that she accepts what she has caused and tries to make it right.
Hardye avoids making this into moral stricture but deviates from the Greek Tragedy model by giving us a happy ending not atypical of 19C serialised fiction.
Quite often an author‘s voice creeps into their writing and the reader becomes aware that they are not in fact walking the hills and dales of fictional Wessex but are at the pen nib of a writ

《西游记》讲的是唐僧师徒四人去西天取经的故事。他们四个人各有各有优点,也各有各的缺点。
唐僧的优点是取经的意志很坚定,不管路上遇到多少困难,他都勇往直前,从不退缩。他靠这种精神影响着他的徒弟们,一起帮助他取得真经。但唐僧也有缺点,他不辨真假,容易轻信别人的话,结果总是上当受骗,如果没有孙悟空,他可能早被白骨精吃了。
孙悟空的特点是本事大,一路降妖全靠他,他很忠诚,又嫉恶如仇。但是他性子气,不服管教,经常闯祸,比如推倒人参果树,所以师傅给了戴了个紧箍咒。
猪八戒是个懒虫,又贪吃又贪睡,一遇到困难就想散伙,回高老庄娶媳妇。但猪八戒在取经的路上也少不了,唐僧和孙悟空闹矛盾,总是他把猴哥请回来。
沙和尚好像没什么本领,一路上就看他挑个担子,打仗时也只能打几个小妖。但沙和尚做事最认真,如果没有他,有谁能安全地把担子挑到西天呢?
正因为有了唐僧的坚定意志,孙悟空的本领高强,猪八戒的八面玲珑,沙和尚的认真负责,师徒们共同努力,才终于取得了真经。
读了这本书,我还明白了一个道理。每个人都有优点和缺点,我们大家共同去做一件事,只要能把大家的优点发挥出来,把缺点控制住,就能集大家的力量,把事情做好。
篇14:小王子初中英语读后感
全文共 2282 字
+ 加入清单Main Characters: The little prince, the pilot, the rose, the fox, the snake, etc.
Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.
As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. ―I‖, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.
On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.
Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word ―tame‖, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.
At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. ―It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.‖ he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.
篇15:儿子与情人英语读后感
全文共 2627 字
+ 加入清单《儿子与情人》是英国作家戴维·赫伯特·劳伦斯创作的一部长篇小说。以下是小编带来的儿子与情人英语读后感,希望对你有帮助。
Sons and Lovers was D.H. Lawrences first major novel. His only major novel, some would say; but even readers who are out of sympathy with him, or who feel that his gifts were not really those of a novelist, have usually been happy to make a wholehearted exception in this one case.
It is a book that goes straight to the point, at the outset and at almost every subsequent stage. Between them his two methods leave us in no doubt where the heart of his story is to be located.
Gertrude Morel is a woman of high principle, of character and refinement. Her husband is a miner who can barely read and write. Marrying him for passion, she is bitterly disappointed by his rough manners, his drinking, what she can only see as his weakness and irresponsibility. When the book opens, the marriage has already turned into a battlefield, and the love she has withdrawn from Morel is being redirected toward the first of her children. In the previous chapters, Gertrude Morel is most devoted to her eldest son William. But after he dies of a skin disease, she plunges into grief. Seeing William is gone, she rededicates her life to Paul, and this revives her. She teaches her son art, education, and social advancement. She lives for her sons and will do anything to see them make their way in the world.
Mrs. Morel is terribly tired of her involvement in Paul and Miriams relationship and decides to stop intervening. She knows that Paul is an adult now and that there is nothing she can do to stop Paul from seeing Miriam. She feels that she can never forgive her son for sacrificing himself to love Miriam. As it mentions above, Paul has begun to realize how much his mother affects his life. Her deep love for him has made her a part of himself that when he wants to break free from his mother, he is unable to get away from her. His mother is ingrained into his very soul.
That’s to say, his mother influences Paul very much, and which proves to be for worse to him.

"Treasure island" is a story of treasure. One is called the pirate captain flint bought 700000 pounds worth of treasure in the treasure island, the protagonist of the story Jim accidentally got a treasure map, and some people treasure together. Treasure hunters and pirates launched a life and death struggle, finally, treasure hunters finally found the treasure.
I like the story of Jim, he is smart and brave, for example, after they got on the treasure island, and pirates, one day, Jim out of their camps, in the evening, he walked into the camp of the pirates, pirates leader didnt kill him, because love Jim wanted him to join the pirates, but he keep up, determined not to join the pirates. He that let me admire very much. Also, when sailing captured by pirates, Jim and the ships anchor partition, let the boat with the wind rocking, the pirates to stun, the pirates were shaking all night, and drank the wine, ships were robbed Jim come back the next day.
In the book, and Im impressed with a person, he is silver. Silver looks graceful on the surface, like a gentleman, but hes murderous pirate leader. In the ship as a cook, he, usually, people on board the ship like a family, but, in his convened a bunch of pirates, to treasure island, but decide to deny, and Jim they played out.
Everywhere in our life, but also has a "hypocrite", such as silver we should see through their camouflage, dont be fooled disguise.
周末读了《金银岛》这本书,让我深有感悟。
《金银岛》讲的是一个关于寻宝的故事。一个叫弗林特的海盗船长在金银岛上买了价值70万英镑的宝藏,故事的主人公吉姆偶然得到了一个藏宝图,和一些人一起寻宝。寻宝者和海盗展开了一场生死搏斗,最后,寻宝者终于找到了宝藏。
我最喜欢故事中的吉姆,他聪明机智而且很勇敢,比如说,在他们登上金银岛后,和海盗交战,有一天,吉姆出了他们的营地,到晚上,他却闯入了海盗的营地,海盗头子因为很喜欢吉姆所以没有杀他,想让他加入海盗,他却临危不乱,坚决不加入海盗。他的这一点让我非常敬佩。还有,当帆船被海盗占领,吉姆又把船的锚索隔断,让船随风摇晃,把海盗晃晕,海盗们被晃了一夜,加上喝了酒,第二天船就被吉姆抢了回来。
在书中,还有一个人让我印象深刻,他就是西尔弗。西尔弗表面上看起来举止文雅,像一个绅士,但是,他却是杀人不眨眼的海盗头子。他在船上担任厨师,平时对船上的人就像是亲人一样,但是,在他召集了一帮海盗,到岛上寻宝时,却翻脸不认人,和吉姆他们打的你死我活。
在我们的生活中,也处处有着像西尔弗这样的“伪君子”,我们要识破他们的伪装,不被伪装所蒙骗。

+ 加入清单我读过许多童话,《海的女儿》却让我最受感动。
故事讲诉了海王国有一条美丽而善良的人鱼,美人鱼爱上了陆地上英俊的王子,为了追求爱情幸福,不惜忍受巨大痛苦,褪去鱼形,换来人形。但王子最后却和人间的女子结了婚。巫婆告诉美人鱼,只要杀死王子,并使王子的血流到自己腿上,美人鱼就可回到海里,重新过着无忧无虑的生活。可她却为了王子的幸福,自己投入海中,化为了泡沫。
我在心里为美人鱼打抱不平,为什么她对王子这么好,王子却不回报她,而她却能为了王子的幸福,义无反顾地投入海中,化为泡沫。姐姐说,虽然结局王子没有和美人鱼在一起,但因为美人鱼有一颗美好善良的心灵,她为爱不惜牺牲自己生命,所以她并没有化作泡沫,而是去了天堂,得到了永生。这种遗憾美,更能牵动读者的心,我也更加喜欢小美人鱼了。
