《老人与海》是海明威最不朽的作品之一，很可能成为这一代人的经典杰作之一。在他赢得了奖1953和1954部小说文学奖起到了重要作用，证实了他的力量和在文学世界的存在。海明威也是我最喜欢的作家之一。除了老人和大海，我看过他的一些其他作品，如太阳照常升起，永别了武器和Kilimanijaro雪。但是老人和大海是留给我印象最深的。

我第一次读这本书时，我十五。现在我还记得它，就像我昨天读过它一样。

读后感

今年暑假，我在美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》中学习，。我很佩服小说中的老渔夫的意志，他让我明白了一个人必须有坚持不懈的精神，才能成功。小说所描述的是一个几乎六十岁的老渔夫，一次出海和钓鱼时，有一对大鱼，但不能画。经过艰苦的渔民和鱼类社会化了几天，才发现这是一个大玛琳的鱼超过几次自己的渔船，虽然明知这是很难赢得，不放弃了。因为大玛琳鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼争夺食物以后再，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。老渔夫认为，当我读到：“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，......”十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为他已经打到了一些鱼在这一刻，我，但是他不满意现有的事态，而是向着更大的目标前进。再次见到我们，在平凡的时候遇到一些小困难，我们都在抱怨。我们是祖国的未来，应该像这个老人一样雄心勃勃，去追求更好，更大的目标。当我读到“大玛琳鱼是它把小渔船游动，将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆的快速开始，老人右手高举着钢叉，跳出来，让它在尽最上面的水，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。我佩服那种老人的恐惧，坚持不懈的精神，虽然知道对手的实力很强，但他根本没有退缩，遇到困难。正因为有这种精神，老渔夫才获得了生死之争的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神，做事不怕困难，才能取得成功。读大血腥味的一个鲨鱼进攻的味道，争先恐后地游来抢食，老人的左手正好在抽筋，他只能使用右手，可以用来攻击的武器保护自己用棍子，剑鱼，抓住一切口，并赶走了这群鲨鱼最后。但大鱼的肉已经被吃了一大半，但老人批评自己的左手“当工作的时候休息”的幽默，我被老人的乐观精神压抑的太。在生活中，有些损失是不可避免的，我们应该对待乐观的态度，不必担心小的利益或损失。最后，小说看到一个十几岁的老渔夫有18尺长的大长玛琳的鱼在宽容中，描述了这条鱼的巨大又一次，证明老渔夫克服的困难比平常大。老渔夫的精神，努力奋斗无所畏惧危险和困难的小说歌颂了，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，决不能半途而废，遇到困难要迎困难。只有这样，我们才能取得更大的成功和胜利。

The Olympic Games, which originated in ancient Greece, is the most distinguished sporting event in the world. Once every four years, the utmost athletes from all around are lured to gather together and spare no efforts to compete against each other and try to win a medal for the country that they represent. Frankly speaking, that was virtually all I knew about the world-famous Olympic Games before I had read a book entitled The Olympics published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. However, I found even more philosophy beyond just winning medals from reading the book, which was beyond my imagination and considerably inspiring.

Someone once said, “Were everybody on earth involved in some kind of sport, our world would be free of war for long.” Starting from three thousand years ago, the ancient Olympic Games has long been an event not only for competition but also for peace. In ancient times, no war was allowed between the cities during the Games, which was rather surprising to me since I could hardly imagine warriors actally putting down their weapons and give a break for peace. The precious tradition of peace continued: I would never fail to recall the scene of the opening ceremonies when North and South Korean athletes entering the stadium with their hands held together. The two neighboring countries that used to be enemies are no longer enemies during the Games. Instead they became friends. Speaking of the XX Athens Olympics, perhaps most people would have the same opinion that the most noable part of the opening ceremony arrived when Iraqi and Afghan representatives showed up. These two unfortunate nations, the people of which have undergone innumerable wars, are coming back again to take their own responsibility in world sports after recent invasions by America. The fearless people of Iraq and Afghanistan are once more sharing the spirit of the Games with people from the rest of the world.

There is another story in this book that makes me deep in thoughts. There is no doubt that the most unusual Olympic Games ever in history is the 1936 Olympics held in Germany, which was then ruled by the Nazi Party. Led by Adolf Hitler, the Nazi believed that the so-called Aryan people were superior to all others in all aspects. They looked down upon Jews and blacks, the latter of which was a major constitution of the United States Olympic team. Despite the barrier that faced him, the African American Jesse Owens, who was a most outstanding runner and jumper, did all that he could and finally won gold medals for his country and went home a hero. This reveals another fact that no power on earth is able to hinder the sacred Olympic Games. For all participants, no matter what their gender, race, nationalities and backgrounds are, equality is distributed among every one who observes the Game’s rules.

At the XX Athens Olympics, our Chinese team did extraordinarily well. We ranked second on the medal lists for the first time in history. In my opinion, however, we should not only concentrate on the figure of medals; instead the strength and perseverance of those who failed to get any medals ought to be highly cherished. Whether ever success or failure, whether ever cheer or tear, whether ever medal or not, the never-gave-up spirits of athletes are always motivating us. I believe in the year 2008, the world will focus all their attention to Beijing, China, where the glory of the Games will continue to thrive forever!

“人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。”

您知道这句话出自哪里吗？对，就是海明威所写的《老人与海》！在我犹豫不决的时候，在我心存放弃之念的时候，我的心中就会浮现出这本书，浮现出这句话，浮现出那位执着的老人，心中总会迸发出无穷的力量。

读过这本书的人，都会为老人一波三折、跌宕起伏的经历而惊叹。八十四天的苦苦等待，三天三夜与大鱼的拼搏，数天的成果保卫战，却换来了一架空空的鱼骨……但他的执着却不得不令我们肃然起敬。他战胜了大海，战胜了厄运，更战胜了自己！

留下这一传世佳作的是诺贝尔文学奖的获得者——海明威，是一位以电报式文风而著称，将文学创作中的冰山原则表现得最为充分的作家“真正的大师都是用最简单的语言来表达最深刻的道理。”他简洁明快而又深蕴含蓄的写作风格，彰显了他强烈的创作个性，开创了美国文坛上的一代文风，并影响了整个文学界。

美国艺术史家贝瑞孙曾这样评价《老人与海》和他的作者。“《老人与海》是一首田园诗，大海就是大海，不是拜伦式的，不是麦尔维尔式的，好比荷马的手笔；行文又沉着又动人，犹如荷马的诗。真正的艺术家既不象征化，也不寓言化——海明威是一位真正的艺术家——但是任何一部真正的艺术品都能散发出象征和寓言的意味，这一部短小但并不渺小的杰作也是如此。”

文章的主人公，那位可爱又可敬的老人，只是一个在墨西哥海湾打渔的老渔夫，似乎岁月早已夺去他的力量，在他的脸上犁下了深深的沟壑，两鬓的苍白也见证着他所经历的沧桑。但是，在精神上，他却是一个不可战胜的巨人。在他的生活中处处充满着挑战，他也在与强者的挑战中，证明了自己是强者中的强者。在最困难的时候，没有人可以帮助他，他只有靠自己，靠自己的双手，靠自己的信念来博得自己的一切，无论如何，他都是胜利者。他真正胜利的是什么？是他的从不放弃！是他始终怀着无比的勇气战胜到最后的精神！因此，无论面对着怎样的境遇，无论遭遇怎样的挫折，他永远不会失败，永远都是胜利者。忍得住痛苦，耐得住寂寞，勇敢前行，无所畏惧，这，便是硬汉精神的真谛。

我们呢？我们在人生的道路上，有老师的指引，亲人的庇护，朋友的帮助，我们还有什么可畏惧的呢。一位老人，一位临近生命黄昏的老人都可以为信念如此的奋斗，而充满青春活力的我们又有什么理由失去斗志，半途而废呢……

《老人与海》是一曲强者的颂歌，他代表着拼搏，代表着热情，代表着对命运的承诺；他里面有坚强，有勇气，有对明天美好的期待。“一个最伟大的人莫过于在经历过84天的疲惫后，梦见第85天的太阳。”是的，“人可以失败，但不可以被击败，外在的肉体可以接受折磨，但是内在的意志却是神圣不可侵犯的。”只要我们把这种精神，把这种信仰根植于心中，我相信，我们一定会做的更好！

老人睡去了，他梦见了狮子，又有更多坚强的人醒来了，有你，有我，有无数的人们和老人一起，去迎接第85天更加明媚的太阳……

一个普通的渔夫，一条普通的大鱼。在茫茫大海上，用智力和耐力开启了一场看似平凡又不平凡的对决。这本书叫《老人与海》，它并不厚，但它教会给我许多知识。

这个渔夫叫桑提亚哥，捕鱼前八四十天都没有捕到鱼，第八十五天的时候，他架着自己的小船，去捕鱼了，功夫不负有心人，他终于钓到了一条鱼。但是这条鱼的力气特别大，把小船都带动了起来，就这样，一次智力和耐力的战斗开始了！

经过很久很久，虽然他带回的只是大鱼的骨架，但是已经足够让人吃惊。

一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你可以尽力消灭他，但就是打不垮她。这句话引出了主题，是啊，我很同情他，但是我更敬佩他。同时呢，我还要学习他的乐观，还有他的坚持不懈，相信也许有时有些事只要你等一等，结果也许没有你想的那么糟。

读了这本书以后，我学会了很多很多，我相信大家也会学到很多，我希望以后能跟大家一起分享。

今天，我看完《老人与海》的最后一章，我的眼前就出现了一副“江海奔腾图”,老人在恶浪滔天的大海上，顽强的和鲨鱼搏斗。

《老人与海》这本书叙述了老人(圣地亚哥)在海中用他的智慧、经验和毅力，最终战胜了鲨鱼，安全的回到码头。

读完最后一章时，我的眼泪不由自主得掉了下来，书中这样一个片段令我最感动：老人在和鲨鱼搏斗的过程中鱼叉丢了，老人就用船桨、短棍和舵把，最终，终于把鲨鱼打败了。老人永不放弃的精神值得我们学习。

每当回想起老人捕不到鱼的情景，我就感到非常伤心，我做为少先队员，21世纪的接班人，在学习上一遇到困难就退却，有的时候干脆就放弃了，这怎么能为祖国的明天做贡献呢?而老人在和鲨鱼搏斗的过程中克服了艰难险阻，我遇到的困难和老人比算得了什么，于是我一定要把我身上的坏毛病改掉，勤奋学习、刻苦钻研，遇事决不放弃。将来做一个对祖国有用的人。

让我们的祖国永远繁荣昌盛。

现实是残酷无情的，在这里，只有一条法则：弱肉强食，适者生存！但，人不是为失败而生的，一个人想要在这残酷的现实世界中生存下去，就必须要有坚强的意志与勇气。合上这本《老人与海》，我好似在广袤无垠的大海上迷离，一个人不是生来就要被打败的，你可以被毁灭，但不可以被打败。

《老人与海》的故事很简单，写的是老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续84天没捕到鱼的情况下，终于在第85天钓上了一条大马林鱼，但这条鱼实在太大了，把他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，他杀死了马林鱼绑在小船的一边，可想而知，这需要多大勇气和多强的意志啊！而在归程中又碰到了鲨鱼的袭击，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，但最后回港时只剩下鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。

他这种坚持不懈，自信的精神难道不值得我们学习吗？俗语道：不以成败论英雄。虽然老渔夫没有把完整的马林鱼拖回海岸，但他那坚强的意志，勇敢的精神丝毫不比真正的英雄逊色。老渔夫在精神世界中已经成为了历尽磨难而变得顶天立地，战无不胜的巨人了。这不就是所谓的英雄吗？

“愚公移山”，“铁杵成针”，“冰冻三尺”等等，不都意味着“有志者，事竞成”吗？他们“知其不可为而为之”的可贵品质非常值得我们学习。做任何事情都要有坚持不懈的精神。碰到困难也不要放弃。你可以被毁灭，但不可以被打败。我们不能被生活打败，更不能被自己打败！要勇于面对自己，面对自己将要面对的困难。相信自己，坚持不懈，一定能够，克！服！它！

《老人与海》中有句名言：一个人不是生来就要被打败的，你可以被毁灭，但不可以被打败。这句话反衬出了老渔夫的勇敢意志，而这也是老渔夫内心深处的独白……

在现实生活中，碰到困难是难免的，最重要的是要勇敢面对，有坚持不懈的精神，从失败中吸取教训。再想想自己，每当碰到一点点困难就不耐烦，不值得好好反思吗？

当我看到“老渔夫想：这里离海岸实在太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼”时，我不禁感叹：虽然老渔夫已经捕到了一些鱼，但他并没有安于现状，而是有着更远大的目标。我们也是一样，不能安于一隅之地，一定要回望过去，展望未来。向自己的远大目标勇往直前！正所谓：“无目标，怎进步？”这本书给我们的启示是多方面的，更需要我们认真地去体会。

为了一个美好的未来，我们定要全力以赴，以全新的面貌去挑战困难与末知，相信成功不再遥远。古人云：山重水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村。我们要满怀信心的去迎接挑战。因为我相信成功永远属于我们自己！让我们把老渔夫的精神品和铭记于心，争当新时代好队员！

读了《老人与海》，我对故事中的老人产生了敬佩之情。

故事中的主人公圣地亚哥是一个“倒霉”的老人，连续84天没钓到鱼，出海第八十五天，经过两天三夜的奋战，终于钓到了一条大马林鱼1500多斤。然而，天气变幻莫测，在返航途中，一条鲨鱼多次袭击，老人和鲨鱼展开了一场很好的搏斗，大马林鱼被鲨鱼吃掉了，一条鱼骨架的老人终于拖着一条光秃秃的回家。

老人与海，一个强大的力量来对抗自然，我们都面临着一些学习和生活的挫折，与老渔夫相比，真是小巫见大巫。他的手上满是老茧，皮肤也已经被刺眼的阳光斑点，破碎的渔船，无法抵挡的暴雨，但他并没有放弃对生活的希望。他和小男孩聊起了棒球，去酒吧喝酒聊天，每天早晨在第一缕阳光前去钓鱼。不管他有没有收获，他都会坚持捕鱼，不仅仅是因为他必须靠捕鱼为生，而且捕鱼已经成为他生活的一部分，这是他的记忆。最后一次钓鱼，他钓到了一条大鱼，但在返回香港的路上，他撞上了鲨鱼的袭击，他毅然拿起鱼叉捍卫自己辛勤劳动的果实。虽然最后一条大鱼被鲨鱼吃掉了，只剩下白色的骨架。但是他坚持不懈的精神得我们敬佩。

回想一下老人的话：“人不是为失败而生的，一个人是可以毁灭的，而是不能被打败的”这是多么坚强的信念啊，他独自一人去捕鱼，在多次受到鲨鱼的撕咬下，自己辛辛苦苦捕捞的大马林鱼，就这样变成了鱼骨。面对这样巨大的损失，渔夫并不在乎，还能以乐观心态来应对。如果我们能学习渔夫坚持不懈的优秀品格的话，那么我们就会取得很好的成绩。

渔夫坚持不懈的精神让我想到我的学习，我的学习总是时好时坏，并不稳定，那是因为我的学习总是不坚持做课后习题，每一天只读半小时的书就算完成作业了。如果成绩不好的话就奋起直追，然后就渐渐好了起来。如果成绩好的话，又“旧病复发”了。如果我能坚持不懈地学成的话，成绩将变得更好。

我要向那位渔夫学习，学习他那坚持不懈、持之以恒的精神。

茫茫大海，多少人曾被咆哮的巨浪吞噬。多少人在这生命开始的地方消逝。然而又有多少人在波涛的咆哮中，敢于站起来!敢与威力无穷的自然抗衡呢?《老人与海》会告诉你，人类在自然面前是多么渺小!但它还会告诉你，在人类的意志力面前，任何东西都得甘拜下风!

“他想，这一回它们可把我打败了。我太老了，不能拿棍子把鲨鱼打死。但是，只要我有桨，有短棍，有舵把，我一定要试一试。”这就是一位老人在面对一大群饥饿的鲨鱼是的全部武器!当你在海上漂泊，遭遇一大群饥肠辘辘的鲨鱼时，你却仅有两只桨、一柄短棍和一条舵把，你会放弃吗?也许你会，可一个日薄西山的老人在这一刻却选择了坚持!你也许会问：“为什么?”答案很单纯，仅仅只是为了守护一条鱼，和这位老人一样英雄的一条鱼!

“你想的太多啦，老家伙!”他老了吗?回答既是肯定的又是否定的。他的身体已经老去，可一颗斗士的心是永远不会老的!以前我经常问自己，力量的源头是什么?来自哪里?今天我终于明白了!来自一颗滚烫的、充满信念的、永不褪色的心!在绝望时，它永远不会放弃!

“鱼啊，你要把我累死了。不过，你有这个权利。兄弟，我从来没有见过一件东西比你更大、更好看、更崇高了。来，把我弄死吧。”管他谁要谁的命呢?你见过多少人在称呼将要把自己击败的对手为“兄弟”何况它只是一条鱼!在他的心中，他早已将这条与他斗到精疲力竭的“英雄”看做了自己的兄弟!这条鱼和老人之间早已不是对手，双方都因为对方的坚持而提醒自己——死也不能倒下!

《老人与海》早已跨过了平面。他已经变成了一种精神。在那风高浪急的海面上老人告诉我们——人从来没有战胜过自然，也许以后也不会。但人可以选择，选择永不屈服。只要我们选择坚持，在一颗敢于挑战的心面前，没有打不到的敌人，没有闯不过的难关!

Based on Mark Twains novel, The Millionaire Pound Note takes an interesting satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in the 50s England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The film shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when in an instant they find out that youre a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost.

Interestingly, The Millionaire also briefly looks at how the English perceived Americans in that era. Rich Americans were welcomed as outsiders and the poor were quickly shunned away. The fact that hes an outsider either makes him more appealing or the complete opposite. The story sticks to the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the movie from being a mockery of the British society. The movie drags at some point but the love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. A charming Gregory Peck totally nails the part and the luminous Jane Griffiths is a treat. Reginald Beckwith, as Pecks sidekick Rock is amusing. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.

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 heroine 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.

《老人与海》这本书，主要写了一位老人，以打鱼为生，一生打到了很多鱼，却没有放松对自己的要求，他想到大海深处，去捕大鱼。

后来老人去了，在去的第一天，果然捕到了一条大鱼，老人明知这是一条比船身大很多倍的大马哈鱼，却依然跟它耗着，和它搏斗，整整三天三夜，老人终于把它捕上来了。

在生活中，我们应该学习老人这种坚持不懈的精神。一件事，需要你一年的时间才能完成，你才做了几天就厌烦了，这不行，应该长时间地做下去。

在学习中，我们要学习老人的这种迎难而上的精神。比如说，一道题，你明知道它难做，要是退缩了，那可不行，应该主动去做它，想办法做出来。这样才对，才好。

在生活中，还要学习老人不畏惧的精神。老人连鲨鱼都不怕，敢勇敢地和它拼一拼，难道我们还怕日常生活中的困难吗？你怕困难，困难就不怕你；你不怕困难，困难就怕你。

在生活中，我们最应该学习的是老人那种乐观的态度。有一次，老人的左手抽筋了，恰恰在这里，一群鲨鱼来了，鲨鱼不断地撕咬着马哈鱼，老人最终用右手赶走了鲨鱼，他说：“左手该工作的时候却在休息。”用得是多么恰当啊！可见老人是多么乐观，我们也要这样！

在《老人与海》中，作者刻画出了一个乐观、不畏惧、迎难而上、坚持不懈的老人。读了之后，我才感到自己是多么渺小，多么无能，但我不能总这么渺小，这么无能！

人生就是一场无止境的追求，无论成败与否，都是一个起点。成功与失败往往只是一念之差，失败并不可怕，可怕的是你没有面对失败的勇气。《老人与海》中的主人公圣地亚哥用他的实际行动向我们证明-——即使失败，也要成为一名英雄！

《老人与海》讲述了一位老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续八十四天没有捕到鱼的情况下，与大马林鱼机智地周旋、搏斗，正在归程中却一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，最后回港时只剩下了鱼头和鱼尾以及一段骨骸。

“然而人不是为失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能给打败。”在老人与大马林鱼的搏斗中，大马林鱼无疑成为了牺牲者，鲨鱼来到后，老人和大马林鱼一样，同样成为了牺牲者。老人与鲨鱼间的搏斗，正是老人的意志和一切强大的敌对力量抗争，而鲨鱼则化身成为了敌对力量的代表。虽然鱼肉都被咬去了，但什么也无法摧残老人的意志。老人圣地亚哥虽然是一位失败者，但是他敢于同恶势力抗争的精神，使他成为了英雄。所有东西都注定会毁灭，只有你的行动才是永存的。只有这样，你才会成为一个真正的成功者！

在生活中，挫折是必不可少的磨难。我们也许会因为难题而退缩，我们也许会因为落后的成绩而气馁，我们也许会因为考试而烦恼……这些小小的挫折不值一提，却往往成为人生路上的绊脚石。有些人会像老人圣地亚哥一样追越极限，在困境中迎难而上，即使失败了，也问心无愧。因为你做出了行动，你就是一个成功者！有些人却没有信心和勇气去直面失败和挫折，而是得过且过，最终被命运从成功的行列中抹除，成为一个无所事事的人。鲨鱼或许是最后的胜利者，但毋庸质疑的是，老人也是一位胜利者，他始终知道这伟大的“杰作”是属于他的。他没有向大海向大马林鱼，更没有向鲨鱼投降和妥协。我们也需要具备这种敢于同命运抗争的勇气。在任何时候，都把失败看成一种磨练，让它成为我们垫脚的基石，来攀登更高的山峰，挑战自我，直面缺陷，超越极限，你就是自己生命中最重要的英雄！

在人生的旅途中，哪会少得了失败？失败乃成功之母，人总会摔倒，只是看你能否重新爬起。是否还能勇敢地去面对，成功总在风雨后，只有经历了失败，才会体验那成功的来之不易。只要你用一颗顽强的心去对待，成功就在不远处向你招手。

欧内斯特。海明威是驰名世界的美国作家。今天，我有幸读到了他最有名的一则中篇小说《老人与海》。读完整篇文章，一个在失败和挫折面前不低头，不气馁，坚韧奋斗的老鱼夫形象便在我心中留下了深深的烙印。

古巴老鱼夫圣地亚哥接连出海84天没有捕到一条鱼，但他毫不气馁。第85天他再次出海，好不容易钓住一条比他的鱼船还长几英尺的大马林鱼。拼死抵抗的大鱼将船拖到了远海，经过三天两夜的艰苦搏斗，老人终于刺死打鱼，把它缚在船边，拖着它返回渔港。但是，途中不时地遇到凶残的鲨鱼群来袭击，它们疯狂地争事大鱼。已极度疲劳的老人又顽强地与鲨鱼群搏斗：用鱼叉，用刀子，用桨柄，用木棍……最后，他什么武器也没有了。

当他终于疲惫不堪地返回渔港时，SUO大的马林鱼仅剩一具空空的骨架。故事的内容就是这样简单，但我却被老人非凡的意志和力量所折服。我佩服老人把人与海的格斗想象为人生格斗，把大马林鱼和鲨鱼都看成他浴血奋斗的对手，佩服他以自己的行动证实人的胆略，人的气魄，人的价值，证实人不是生来要给打败的！

人的一生何尝不是这样呢？在漫漫的旅途中，每个人都会遇到无数的困难与坎坷，但是我相信，只要每个人拿出自己的勇气与力量同困难搏斗，你终究会取得成功。即便最后你与困难“同归于尽”也丝毫不会后悔。细细地品味完《老人与海》，一句极富生命意义的话在我心中永远珍藏了起来：人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败！

Today I have read Helen Keller’s “Three Days to See”.I have read this article in the chinese teaching material when I was in high school.This article impressed me.It told me how lucky we are.We should aprrecaite that we are healthy.Healthiness is riches.So today I read this article again.Whenever I read this article,compare with Helen Keller,I think we should treasure our life,god has given us sight so we can see a lot of good things,so we can know how beautiful this world is,so we can know how wonderful we can live in our coloreful life.

Helen Keller,blind and deaf from infancy.Stricken with a serious illness at the age of nineteen months,Keller survived from the illness but was left permanently unable to see and hear.In this article,three day of sight,we can see,how precious it was as for Helen Keller.What would you want to look at if you had only three days of sight?Helen gives her answer in this famous essay.I always think that people can realize the importance of the sight and sound only after they have personally expericenced the dark and silence life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight,silence would teach him the joys of sound.

This short story tell people how Keller take advantage of having the privileges to see,hear,and speak.Some people,unfortunately,are blind,deaf,and mute.These unfortunate people take more time to appreciate life and they are always waiting for the miracle all their life.The author,Helen Keller,is one of such person who is blind,deaf,and mute.She strongly believes that people,who are fortunate to have such senses,take life for granted.She also strongly believes these people should live in the fullest,meaning,accomplish lifes when they can do this today,do not leave it for tomorrow.

One can die at any moment,no matter how healthy or in what physical shape he is.As for this,Helen came across many instances.She had asked her friend what she had seen after taking a walk through the woods,and her friend replied,“Nothing in particular.” Her friend gave she this answer,because her friend become accustomed to see the routine of their surroundings,and her eyes only can be attracted by startling and spectacular things.I think if we only have sight for 3 days we will give another answer.

I appreciate Hellen Keller.Her life is a miracle,she stronly face the difficulties which can detroy one’s mind of living.Her life is a tragedy,but the world in her heart is full of love.Her spirit will encourage all of us,forever.

书读万卷，其义自现。书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。这个暑假我利用闲暇的时间阅读了一本世界名著，——《老人与海》。

老人与海主要讲述的是一位年迈的老人在经历近九十天的风雨之后，抓住了自己心爱的大马哈鱼，结果却在归航途中被其它动物吞噬，最后只留下一具白花花骨架的故事。令人读了心酸，读了落泪。但是书中却没有过多的悲情描写，没有描写这个老人生活是有多么困苦，多么艰难，上天多么对他生活的不公，对他命运的不公，而是将更多的笔墨头道投入到她坚强乐观、积极向上，对待生活，如同一簇永不熄灭的火焰一般，正能量的描写，让人觉得在悲痛之余感到更多的而是正义的力量，而是对生命的渴望，对价值的追求，对自己人生以及各种各样事物的永不放弃。

文中的老人。是一个很乐观的人，他每天都会与他那位“忘年交”的小男孩一起在一块吃饭，一起说笑，一起看足球比赛。记得那一次，都很晚了，他们仍然有说有笑，非常舒适惬意。虽然今天一天的收获也没有，但是却非常的开心，因为他所支持的足球队赢了！这要是放在我们生活的周围，整天看到那些挣不到钱，那些事业不成功的人唉声叹气，而书中的老人却是那样的坚强乐观，这又不何尝是我们所能学习的榜样呢？

书中的老人同样是一个非常勤奋的人，每天天不亮，那位男孩正在睡觉的时候，他便能早早的穿上衣服起床了。而最后那位体贴的男孩也了解到他的痛苦，了解到他的辛劳，竟然赶在他还没有起床之前，偷偷的起床，想要和他一起去捕鱼，他还甚至为老人盖上了一层被子，文中的男孩真是一位体贴老人孝敬老人的好孩子。但是在我们生活的周围常常看到这样的一幕：父母、老人全都围着一个小公子或者小公主在团团转，他们想要吃的便伸手拿去，他们想要喝的便叫他的爷爷奶奶帮忙端来，他们就像是使唤奴隶一样使唤自己的亲人，与这位书中的男孩相比，他们真的是汗颜啊。

《老人与海》，这本书是一本非常经典且短小精悍的书目，文章的作者也因此获得了诺贝尔奖。我刚开始还以为这部书仅仅是一部普通的小说，但是在看完之后，那种深深蕴含其中的精神力量震撼到撞击了每一个人的心灵。

The author pays homage to Hans Christian Andersen‘s compassionate tale with this faithful adaptation. Kids can relate to the duckling‘s dilemma; part of the growing-up proceis pulling away from those around you and developing a strong sense of self. Children have also witnessed or experienced the teasing that is part and parcel of childhood.

This agelestory speaks acrogenerations with its reaffirming message. In this age of instant gratification, Andersen‘s tale reminds readers that some things are worth waiting for and that a pleasure deferred (whether by choice or necessity) is often the sweetest one of all.

Pinkney‘s descriptive passages resonate with the splendor of nature‘s beauty. The glowing watercolors, filled with intricate details, make each blade of gravisible, and the delicately drawn, nearly transparent mosquitoes are as ethereal as they are in life. The subtle details incorporated into the scenes--a frog catching a passing fly at the pond and a tiny mouse perched by a crate in the old woman‘s cottage--make children take another look.

One day he heard a sound of whirring wings, and up in the air he saw a flock of birds flying high. They were as bright as the snow that had fallen during the night, and their long necks were stretched southward. Oh, if only he could go with them! But what sort of companion could he be to those beautiful beings?

‘I am too ugly even for a dog to eat,‘ the duckling thought. Jerry Pinkney‘s poignant text and rich artwork convey the timeleappeal of this tale of hardship and redemption. Anyone who has suffered the sting of ostracism can sympathize with the ugly duckling‘s plight and will relish the uplifting conclusion.

“书读百遍，其义自现”说明了读书的好处很多。所以这个暑假妈妈给我买了许多书，其中一本《老人与海》是我最感兴趣的一本。

书中的主人翁是一位老人，他住在一个小渔村里，说了他常年出海捕鱼为生，在很长一段时间里他一无所获。一天，他又像往常一样出海捕鱼，在等待了许久，一条大鱼上钩了！令老人吃惊的是，这条大鱼竟然比自己的船身还要长！凭着老人多年的捕鱼经验，要想捕获这条鱼就必须耗尽了它的力量。鱼挣脱不开，便一直拖着小船游。老人随着这条鱼在海上漂流了三天三夜，终于在老人的坚持下捕获了这条大鱼。他拖着鱼往回赶，谁曾想，正是这条大鱼引来了鲨鱼群，最终大鱼被鲨鱼吃得只剩下了骨架。老人这种永不言败的精神深深地震撼了我。

其实人生总是有坎坷的，只有坚持了成功才会大于失败。就像我刚刚开始学跳舞一样，先要练压腿和劈叉等一些基本功。那时还小，压腿还不算困难，但劈叉就有点困难了。每次劈都要靠着墙，因为只有这样才能劈直一些。虽然十分艰难，但我坚持了下来，最终克服了这个困难。如果人生中一帆风顺，没有一件不顺心的事发生，那我们也就不可能从这当中吸取教训。但遇到了不顺心的事，一定不能轻易放弃，要努力要坚持，相信自己一定会成功！

在我们遇到困难之时，记住要坚持，胜利就在我们眼前。

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 .

我读了《老人与海》这本书后，硬汉精神深深地可在了我心上。

《老人与海》这本书主要写了：一位捕鱼技术高超的老人出海84次都空手而归，他在第85次出海时，拼尽全力，终于捕到了大马林鱼，但马林鱼吸引来大群鲨鱼，老人不得不与鲨鱼搏斗。最终，大鱼只剩下一具残骨。

这是何等的坚持，让老人经历84次挫败后，依然出海打渔；这是何等的毅力，让老人与马林鱼周旋数日，坚持抓住机会；这是何等的勇气，让老人在肌饿的鲨鱼群里保卫自己的成果，宁死也不放弃！就是那一次次的打击和挫折，锤炼了老人的铮铮铁骨，造就了老人的硬汉精神！

这不禁让我想起了那次学溜冰。那天，我穿上溜冰鞋，刚想走一步，便重重地摔了一跤，我疼得哇哇直叫，教练过来教了我一些步伐，我滑了两步，又摔了一跤。一连摔跤、站起来好几次，最终学会了溜冰。

“人不是生来就要被打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他。”是啊，人生原本就充满困难与挫折，我们要像老人一样，精神永不屈服于挫折，在学习、生活中不屈不挠，迎难而上，实践硬汉精神。

《德伯家的苔丝》是哈代的代表作，是“威塞克斯系列”中的一部。它描写了一位农村姑娘的悲惨命运。看过这部小说后你有什么感触呢?下面是小编为大家整理的英文读后感范文，希望对你有帮助。

She was seduced by a so-called gentleman—Alec, and from then on her life totally changed from this loss of innocence. People looked down on her and respected her no more. Actually she did nothing wrong because before she was seduced she knew nothing of men. She was just a girl when she first met that terrible man.

She was forced by the gossips and the church to blame herself for this accident, so she thought she deserved nothing good. In order to get rid of the past she decided to go to a distant dairy farm but was still saying to herself that she was wrong. Maybe God didn’t agree with that, because the Lord gave her someone she loved with her whole heart and life—Angel Chare. Angel popped the question to her but she refused him without saying why. She said she loved him deeply and perhaps no one in the world could love him more than she did but she could not marry him for some unspoken reason. Angel wasn’t satisfied with this vague answer and did his best to win Tess. Somehow she agreed and they soon fixed the wedding day. Soon after their wedding Angel confessed the crime he committed to a woman long time ago and asked for Tess’s forgiveness. Tess was not at all angry and forgave Angel at once; in fact she was rather happy and excited for she also had things to confess.

She sat and told everything to Angel, hoping he would forgive her as he was forgiven but she was wrong. She was not forgiven, not as she thought she was. The woman pays.

Without Angel’s love, nothing meant anything to her. The result wasn’t important now. Tess was arrested for her murder of that so-called gentleman. Why? She still loved Angel and when he finally went back to her and asked for HER forgiveness, after he regretted what he had done unfair to Tess, she was desperate. That was too late—Alec had always told Tess that Angel would never come back so he won Tess’s trust. Unluckily Angel did come back and found Tess.! Everything was too late!

Tess was deceived and she lost Angel for the second time! The strengh of her love was so strong that she had forgotten the difference between right and wrong. Before that she had done nothing wrong but when she killed Alec, everything really changed! She became a criminal! How could it be? She was as pure and innocent as the good wife in the Bible. Her whole character was honest and faithful. Angel figured out at last that a person should be judged not only on what he has done but also on what he wanted to do!

Tess didn’t want to be seduced by man and she had no power to defend herself so she lost her innocence and that’s all! Angel also did the wrong thing and it was even more serious than Tess’s crime but HE was not blamed for it. Why it is always the woman who pays? Why they are always hurt? Why was Tess’s girlish purity lost? Why does the wrong man take the wrong woman? Why do the bad often ruin the good? Why is beauty damaged by ugliness? Women are too weak! Thousands of years of history have shown us that women have always been treated unfairly!

In old China there was a culture, which didn’t think of women as human beings. If you asked one if he was the oldest in his family, he would probably answer “the oldest one” even if he had some elder sisters. If you asked why then he would say, “Ha, they are not included!”

People gave birth to many girls in order to have only one boy to keep the family name going. They thought girls had no use for the family. They would be married and go to live with their husbands’ home and be their wives some day sooner or later. So they were extremely hard on girls.

Girls should be hard working, faithful, loyal, intelligent, and virtuous and the most important thing was she must be a maiden! If her husband was the first man who touched her then she was a good girl, a good wife no matter how she thought. If she wasn’t, then she would gain a very bad reputation and nobody would dare to go near her. What about men? People did not care whether he was an experienced man or not, nor did they care about his character. They thought man equals power and power equals rights…

Now let’s not be so bitter. Nowadays women’s situations have become much better. Some are because of the change of society and some are because of civilization. Just let those poor painful women like TESS be just a memory.
