双城记英语读后感合集2篇 作文初一（合集20篇）

“Animals deserve our kindness, sympathy and understanding,” that is what Anna Sewell－the author of Black Beauty－wanted to convince her readers. Thanks to Sewell, I now think about the animal－human relationship from both the human and the animal’s point of view.

The inspiration for Anna Sewell’s novel was drawn from her own relationship with horses. Anna Sewell was born on March 20th, 1820 in Norfolk, England and was crippled while still very young. Due to her disability, she relied on horse-drawn carriages and grew to love horses as a result. She also became appalled by the careless and cruel treatment horses often received from humans and determined to write a book.. In the second year of work on the book, she was told that she had only eighteen months to live, but she persevered in order “to induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding [of the ] treatment of horses.” Five years later, she was still working on Black Beauty, her only book. Unfortunately, Sewell died a few months after publication and never learned of the book’s huge success. Black Beauty formed an impassioned plea for animal rights at a time when such a notion had been dismissed as ridiculous.

The novel portrayed the real condition of working horses living in Britain during the Victorian Era. In that time period, the wealthy thought that their horses were treated well because they never stepped into the stable. In order to call people’s attention to horses’ hard life, Sewell tells the story through the first-person narrative voice of a horse. This innovative personification of an animal made the book a real success. Readers heard the stories straight from the horse’s mouth, literally, as an animal spoke of extremes of joy and suffering. People were shocked by the truth exposed by the novel and changed their attitudes towards animals.

Sewell formed the novel with three kinds of characters: Black Beauty, Ginger and other farm animals. Through their different experiences, I saw similarly painful lives led by the animals. This method made the earnest appeal for animal rights become more and more persuasive.

As a domestic animal, Black Beauty was continuously sold from one family to another. Over the years Beauty enjoyed good masters but also endured mean ones. Sometimes, he was cared for and at other times tortured. In the end, everything turns out all right in a story that is so tender and yet meaningful. His story was so vivid that caught the readers’ heart. The novel brought people laughter and tears and also enlightened them to understand animals at the same time.

Animals cannot speak so understanding is significant to them. Once, for example, Beauty was drawing the carriage to a wooden bridge. The bridge was flooded out in the river and John, the groom, was not aware that it was cracked. But the quickly realized that something was wrong because of Beauty’s abnormal behavior. Momentarily, a man shouted to them, “Stop! Stop!…The bridge is broken in the middle. If you come across, you’ll fall in the river!” Beauty had saved John. However, if John had not tried to understand what Beauty wanted to tell him, there would definitely have been an accident. I learnt from the story that understanding animals is not only essential to them but is also beneficial to us ourselves.

My New Life

This summer, I move to a new city with my parents, and I transfer to a new school. I used to live in the countryside, so my new life is so different from before. The school is a little far from my home, so I go to school by bus. After school, I have many activities in school. Classmates are friendly to me. I learn English now. It’s so interesting that I like it very much. Besides, life in city is different. There are many interesting places to go. At weekends, my parents take me outside. We go to the park, the zoo or go shopping. But we are not so familiar with our neighbors. I think we should build good relationship with them.

【参考译文】

这个夏天，我和爸爸妈妈搬到了一个新的城市生活，我也转到了新的学校上学。以前，我住在乡下，所以我现在的生活和以前有很大不同。学校离我的家稍远，所以我要坐公交车去上学。课后，我在学校有很多活动。同学们对我也很有好。现在我开始学英语了，这门课程很有趣，我很喜欢。另外，在城市里的生活也很不一样，有很多好玩的地方可以去。周末，我的爸爸妈妈常常带我出去。我们去公园、动物园，或者去购物。但是我们和邻居们不是很熟悉，我觉得我们应该建立良好的关系。

这个寒假我拜读了狄更斯的作品，以下就是我的感想。

故事是这样的，埃瑞弗蒙德侯爵蹂躏农家妇女，她的哥哥知道了，于是跟侯爵干了一仗，以失败告终。而且他还受了重伤。可能侯爵也不想把事搞大了，不想弄出人命吧。就请了一个医生，这就是另外一个重要的人物马奈特医生。而这可怜的马奈特医生也由于知道了内情而被侯爵送进了巴士底监狱。十八年后终于重见天日……

故事里我看到了很多很多不同的人。正直善良的马奈特医生，美丽温柔的露西，优雅高尚的查尔斯，忠厚老实的洛瑞，外表冷漠、内心热情，放荡不羁而又无私崇高的西德尼，扭曲了人性的德发日太太，豪爽忠诚的普洛斯小姐，残忍阴险的埃佛瑞蒙兄弟……

而这个查尔斯来头不小，是埃斯瑞弗蒙德侯爵的侄子，但是他不接受爵位，离开法国到英国去。他在伦敦靠自己当上了法文老师。

还有一个人叫西德尼·卡顿，他从一开始的法庭上若无其事地望着天花板但他的一张纸条就揭穿了原告的阴谋。他很容易给人一种邋遢、消沉、贪杯的印象，但他在危急时刻，通过一个狱卒来到查尔斯的监狱里与查尔斯换了衣服。后果可想而知，查尔斯被送出了法国，而卡顿却被送上了断头台，他在死前说了一句话：我现在做的是我一生中做过的最好、最最好的事情；我即将得到的，是我一生中过的最宁静、最最宁静的休息。

在革命成功后，革命者们大多都失去了理智，滥杀无辜的人，而查尔斯为了解救以前的仆人，挺而走险，来到法国，结果却被革命者以逃亡贵族的身份给关了起来，露西及她父亲马奈特医生连忙赶到法国，由于他在巴士底狱给关了十八年，被人们称做英雄，从而有特权把他的女婿─查尔斯提供了很好的条件。但是德发日太太就是那对兄妹中的妹妹，她一直都恨着埃瑞弗蒙德侯爵家的人。查尔斯又是埃瑞弗蒙德侯爵的侄子，所以她想尽办法得想要害查尔斯。但到头来却死在自己的枪口中。

这部小说虽然后来是以“大团圆”结束，但是当我读到卡顿为了露西而代替查尔斯上刑场时，我的心里充满了辛酸。

那天去书店，我从世界名著中挑了一本很有意思的书，名字叫《麦田里的守望者》，在拿起这本书时，我万万没有想到那么薄的一本书会对我产生这么大的影响，会感触这么深。我觉得这本书非常好。

Go to a bookstore that day, I from the world famous picked up a very interesting book, the name of "the catcher in the Rye", in picking up the book, I never thought that a thin book will have such an impact on me, you will feel so deep. I think this book is very good.

美国的20世纪50年代相当混乱，人们缺乏理想，意志消沉，在自己无力的改变生活下 ，过着战争的生活。弥漫着战争的硝烟。

The United States in twentieth Century 50s rather chaotic, people lack the ideal, depressed, change yourself powerless in life, living a life of war. Filled with war.

我们是一群生活在新时代的孩子，我们有很多的困惑和烦恼，但我们应该集中精神看准前方，走好我们的路，我们应该是一群有理想，有抱负的人们。理想是人们的照明灯，他带着人们走向未来。

We are living in a new era of children, we have a lot of confusion and annoyance, but we should concentrate on certain ahead, go our way, we should be a group of ideals, aspiring people. Ideal is the peoples lights, he brought people into the future.

我们的人生才刚刚开始，纵然生活让我们这一代人有很多不解，不满意的地方，但一切都只是暂时的，要靠我们的力量去改变它，我现在最需要的就是我们的理想，只要有理想就有希望。

Our life has just begun, even if life let our people of this generation have many puzzled, unsatisfactory, but everything is just temporary, depend on our power to change it, I now need most is our ideal, as long as the ideal there is hope.

是的，有理想就会有希望，这是从《麦田里的守护者》告诉我的。

Yes, good will have hope, this is from the "catcher in the guardian" told me.

The first impression that the boy Tom gave me was a naughty, mischievous boy, just as what Aunt Polly said. He never lacked the curiosity to explore new places, sometimes even risking his life, which I did not dare to! There were some great adventures of him with Huck or Joe. Huck was an orphan, and Joe was Tom’s classmate. Everybody in the small village knew Tom, mainly for Tom’s—you know kind of gallantry!

I should tell you the adventures. The origin of the attempt was that Tom and Huck was getting curious to the world of outside, and they made an effort to run-away. However, when they were in the graveyard, some people appeared. They were Injun Joe, Huck’s father, named Potter, and a doctor. Tom and Huck quickly hid behind the bush, and they saw them digging the coffins out, probably finding something valuable. They did not realize that what they witnessed was a murder! Tom and Huck were extremely afraid, and they ran away rapidly. On the court, Potter was being accused of the murderer; however, Tom declared that it was Injun Joe who used Potter’s knife to kill the young doctor. On hearing this, Injun Joe broke the glass and ran away! This scared everybody, and Tom’s brother, Sid, said that he always heard Tom mumbling something when he was asleep, and sometimes even shouting. Indeed, the accident was fluttering everybody in the town with fear.

Before, Tom once fell in love with a girl called Lawrence. And he showed off in front of the girl, trying to win the girl’s heart, but Lawrence ignored Tom’s appearance, and it made Tom sad. At present, Tom went for another girl for Becky. Yet, when Becky knew that Tom once loved Lawrence (it was probably childish thoughts), she refused Tom. Tom got so depressed that he resolutely committed the second escape.

He made contact with Huck and Joe that afternoon, about where to meet, the code words of meeting, and the route, and so on and so forth. Each of them brought some food, and Huck brought some pipes (remind that Huck had no real home, and I had no ideas where he got the things). At midnight, they met at the place, and they took a raft down the river. After drifting for about several hours, they finally reached the destiny. There they lived for about several weeks, and while everybody thought they were drowned, they had a great time. They were no problems of food or water shortages. They promised to be a pirate, and would live there forever.

If you were out from your relatives for a long time, wouldn’t you miss home? It was the same for those children. After several weeks, Joe felt that he missed home very much, and Tom could not seem to stop him. On this, Tom brought Joe and Huck his secret—

On one night, when the rest of the boys fell asleep (of course they slept outside), Tom crept from the camp, and headed toward the town. He sneaked to his aunt’s room, and hid under the bed, while everybody- Mary (Tom’s sister), Sid, Aunt Polly and Joe Harper’s mother were having a meeting. There were a lot of tears, about how the boys were killed, and how they would treat the boys if they ever lived again, such things. Tom almost wanted to get out of the bed and hug Aunt Polly, but he couldn’t. At last, everybody went to sleep. Tom went out from the bed, and flew to the camp. That was the secret— that the boys will go to their own funeral!

While the boys were outside, all of the people in the town were discussing about the accidents. The town was immediately covered with a sense of doom. So the funeral was raised. Everybody wore a black suit, and they prayed something along with the priest. Just then, they saw somebody entering the gate, and what they saw was unbelievable. Three young souls came out from their coffins and showed up in front of everybody! The change of the atmosphere was imaginable. Aunt Polly, Joe Harper’s mother, Mary and Sid were astounded to find that Tom came so vivid in front of them, and so Tom and Joe became a hero in the school, even in the town.

The real adventures of Tom were finding the treasures. However, I felt that I had no energy to write more…

When people really want to do it, God just happens to mean the beginning, and go back on, shameless the.

Undeniably, the opportunity is the wait for anyone, it is not passive, not waiting for you to analyze, analyze it, consider this, consider that a series of trivial events, and then decided to do it. Perhaps it is itself a fleeting Wizard, which is the test of courage and guts, wisdom and soul. It does not mean that all things should not be thoughtful, careful Clofibrate conduct, and if so, what we were in ancient times? Of course, opportunity and a need to treasure, you need to take advantage of, opportunities have come across are very difficult to fully and thoroughly to take advantage of, but it is difficult. How to better perfect it is a priority.

The policeman, not a claim has been given many opportunities than it? The cable does not do this than to understand what, just keep endlessly kept in mind for his so-called target to continue to play a life, clown, never tired. And lucky him, the total in the stage has written slip, but in the end was as a joke, laughed.

A drama in the end, which means another Drama begins. The police is concerned, only to routine; on the reader, but near the end; of life is concerned, only a small episode; of the writer is concerned, it is a good plot; on the audience, the only worthy of a ticket; on Soapy, it is a new idea of life close to, for he had the ignorance to pay, value is what he does not escape from his hand, he may be able to reverse the fate of the Opportunity and its contempt for the lessons learned in the final result.

If he will blame anyone, so that he does deserve it; if he can only blame himself, then he can say to yourself out loud: Three months, not too long, I will cherish and seize the time each day . well, in fact, did not run away, but I ignored. wait for it

Well, in fact, did not go far. Yes, a lot of happiness to dominate, the opportunity is one of them. Do not wait until God impatient, after all, he has emotions, give you played rough, then, as if too lacking in human touch of the. But their suffering.

Cherish the people or things around them, they change every day, but we are too busy, did not see. Opportunity is like a chance encounter, a good thing. Take advantage of, the benefits of it to play the extreme, it is a beauty thing. A person"s life will be all sorts of conditions, each of the significance of the situation is very different, very different. Select a different situation, a different life, a different fate, a different change So, we have to opportunity, transparent, fully see, so that would not go astray friends.

If the contrary, the outcome would be like Soapy: horror, realize that they have plunged into the abyss, the fallen years, shameful desire, despair, only poor intellectual exhaustion, motivation despicable.

Not grasp the opportunity to meet, are fools; not met but know how to grasp opportunities is talent; both opportunities and understanding of how the event is a genius.

Keller handicap but dont give up life, dont give up learning finally become a useful person, but there are normal, live in happiness, but I dont cherish, is back in trouble, dont work hard finally accomplish nothing.

This book to tell us, when we are in trouble, dont be hard hit, be brave to face, dont lose heart, because of a temporary setbacks should be through their own efforts to overcome difficulties, achieve their ideal.

海伦。凯勒是20世纪美国着名的盲聋女作家，她有着悲惨命运，但她凭借着坚强的意志考入了哈弗大学，成为世界上第一个完成大学教育的盲聋人。她对未来充满想象，虽然自己是残疾人，但是她并没有自卑，反而更加努力地去学习，坚强的去面对生活中的各种困难，终于实现了自己的梦想。

《假如给我三天光明》这本书深深打动着我，在生活中也有许多像海伦。凯勒虽然身残但是都不放弃生活，不放弃学习最后成为一个有用的人，但是也有虽然是正常人，生活在幸福中，但却不珍惜，不努力遇到困难就退缩，最后一事无成的人。

现在我们的学习条件是多么好，有着一双明亮的眼睛，有着一双灵敏地耳朵，有着宽敞明亮的教室，有着很好的老师，可是总是有一些人不珍惜，浪费每一天。

这本书告述我们，当我们遇到困难时，不要被困难打到，要勇敢面对，不要因为一时的挫折就灰心，应该通过自己地努力去战胜困难，实现自己的理想。

作为人类思想精华的名著书籍，一直都是大家在学习和参考的典范，也是一种文化传承的必修课。读后感与其看做是种作业还不如看做是一次对于原著作者的思想交流、碰撞。本栏目为大家提供了大量的名著读后感资料，希望大家在这里能找到相同的火花，多交流。

用了一天读完了《亲爱的安德烈》，给我的最大震撼是书中那些关于父母与子女的沟通的描述，那些在我这样的中国孩子看来新奇无比的教育且见解独到的方式，令我耳目一新，那个既有成人的老道，又不乏孩子的偏激，既睿智幽默，又不失天真烂漫的安德烈更是给我留下了非常深刻的印象。书中的安德烈的生活充满了乐趣，他喝酒、聊天、听歌、开Party、旅行……，简直是五光十色，丰富多彩，再来看看我们学生时代的生活：早早地起床、匆匆忙忙地上学、没完没了地做作业、上不完的各种补习班……，即使偶尔也有短暂的放松和娱乐，也大多是来去匆匆，蜻蜓点水，从来无法尽兴，比起安德烈的自由和惬意差得何止十万八千里;安德烈遇到了挫折，妈妈龙应台来安慰他，而当我们遇到这种情况时，却往往收获的是家长和老师的联合斥责;安德烈成功时，妈妈、弟弟和朋友会为他送去衷心的祝贺，但我们取得的成功却永远是理所当然，不足为奇，甚至在老师和家长眼睛里永远是那样微不足道，与他们的期望相距甚远。……这难道就是东西方教育理念的不同吗?

说到《钢铁是怎样炼成的》这本书，想必大家对它并不陌生吧！书里讲了一位坚强，勇敢的主人公保尔·柯察金。

读了《钢铁是怎样炼成的》这本书后，我领悟到一个人的毅力对他的一生是有很大影响的。就说这本书中的主人公保尔·柯察金吧，他的一生非常坎坷，然而他凭什么使自己继续活下去呢是毅力。毅力给了他无穷的力量，老天也使他有了三次生命。自从认识水兵朱赫来以来，他的心被共产党吸引住了。经过几番波折，他终于如愿以偿，成为了一名共产党员。他出生入死，英勇杀敌。在战争中他也受了不少伤。最严重的一次就是被弹片击中头部，死里逃生。痊愈后，保尔没有忘记党，拿起新的武器，重返战斗队伍，开始了新的生活！

他十几岁就立足杀场，英勇杀敌，热爱祖国，在战场上，他被砍了好几刀都大难不死，为什么仍然是毅力。年轻的他后来疾病缠身，但他仍不停地忘我工作，有休假疗伤的机会他也不愿意放弃工作，毅力真是一种锲而不舍的精神啊！

这是一个感人的故事，我的心好象在水里扔下了一块大石头，久久不能平静。我佩服保尔·柯察金那种勇敢，百折不挠的精神。讨厌故事里维可外多那种小贵族。保尔·柯察金的影子时时在我的脑子里浮现，鼓励我要像像他一样做一个坚强，勇敢的人。

生活在和平年代的我们，生活中一点小小的困难没什么大不了，只要勇敢地去面对，等事情一过，你会发觉，原来自己是有毅力的。保尔·柯察金的精神，永远值得我学习。

实现理想并不是件容易之事。

让我们从现在做起，由小事起步，努力锻炼自我。

I was experiencing the feeling of paradox after reading the book. I felt my eyes wet when I read his stories, about how Mr. Jobs was able to overcome the challenges in life. These are challenges that I, you, and a lot of us will never encountered, but I understand how it must feel to be in the middle of the situations, and how it must feel being hopeless. This understanding has led me to the being moved by Steve Jobs’s bra一veness and persistence. The power of his dream had proved beyond anything, illness, unfairness and death. He continued to love his career even after being diagnosed cancer, and used his power and strengths to change the world by changing how all of us see it.

He was a nerd, a crazy man, a paranoid, but there was no evidence that would show him not being one of the greatest man in human history. Even though people found themselves tired working with Mr. Jobs （he was such a paranoid）， they loved him, as he could bring the novelty to this world and make a difference. To the great man who changed the world with mac and ipod, to the hero of the electronic industry, to Steve Jobs, you will always be my hero.

Throughout the millennia, students of all ages in China have had to endure the miseries of learning by rote. Teachers have stifled creativity in the pursuit of the accumulation of facts, and parents have forced children to spend mind-numbing hours cramming for exams. But for the past year, the government has been experimenting with what could amount to revolutionary changes in Chinas classrooms. The aim is to make education more pleasant, more useful and, above all, to challenge students to think for themselves.

What has prompted the reforms is a belated recognition that Chinas education system is failing to produce enough innovative thinkers. In addition, students are deeply unhappy. A survey conducted by the Education Ministry five years ago found more than 80% of students disliked school. Dropout rates have been rising in rural areas—partly for economic reasons but also because of the stultifying atmosphere of their classrooms. Exam pressures frequently lead to suicides. According to a survey last year among senior secondary-school students and university freshmen in one area, more than 50% had considered killing themselves.

Several other countries in East Asia, including Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, are grappling with similar problems. But the implications of Chinas reform efforts are particularly profound. Chinas traditional education methods are ideally suited to a political culture that requires citizens to submit blindly to authority. By encouraging students to question their teachers and regard them as equals (even official literature now talks of fostering a “democratic” atmosphere in classrooms), China could be ushering in a new kind of relationship between the rulers and the ruled.

整个几千年,在中国所有年龄段的学生不得不忍受苦难的死记硬背。老师扼杀创造力的追求事实的积累,和家长迫使孩子花的小时死记硬背的考试。但在过去的一年里,政府一直在尝试什么革命性的变化在中国的教室。目的是使教育更愉快、更有用,最重要的是,挑战学生独立思考。

什么促使改革是一个迟来的承认,中国的教育系统是无法产生足够的创新的思想家。此外,学生感到非常不满。五年前教育部进行的一项调查发现,超过80%的学生不喜欢学校。农村辍学率一直在上升的经济原因,还因为愚蠢的教室的气氛。经常考试压力导致自杀。去年的一项调查显示,在高级中学学生和大学新生在一个地区,超过50%的人认为是自杀。

其他几个国家在东亚,包括日本、韩国和台湾,也面临着类似的问题。但中国的改革努力的影响尤为深刻。中国传统的教育方法是适合一个政治文化,需要公民提交盲目权威。通过鼓励学生质疑老师和把他们视为等于(甚至现在官方文学对话培养“民主”的气氛中在教室),中国可能成为引领一种新的统治者和被统治者之间的关系。

在我们班，同学们都叫我“小翻译”。其实，我以前的英语成绩是一塌糊涂。

记得那一次，我的英语测试只考了58分。卷子发下来后，老师要求拿回家让父母签阅。不用说，父母看了少不了一顿打哭。没办法，我只好去求外公了。

“外公，我知道您最疼薇薇了，求您帮我签个字，好吗？”

外公接过卷子一看，眉头皱了起来。“薇薇，外公可以帮你签这个字，不过外公有一个要求。”

“没问题，只要您能签字，十个要求我也答应您。”

“从今天开始，外公和你一起学英语，谁要是没学好，就由对方处罚。”

“好呀，一言为定。” 我满口答应了外公的要求。心想：一个老头子了，我就不信你还能记得住ABC！？

然而，我错了，真的错了。

那是一个夏天，正值高温季节。白天，火辣辣的太阳把大地烤得像个火炉。直到晚上，也没有一丝儿风，我们坐在阳台上边摇着蒲扇边谈话。唯独外公一个人聚精会神地坐在书桌前学习英语。豆大的汗珠从他的额头上滚落下来，但他顾不得这些，仍然埋头奋笔疾书。

突然，外公的眉毛紧锁起来，啊，原来他有一个单词背不出,急得汗一个劲地流下来。我走上前去用关切的口吻说：“外公，先歇歇吧！”“不，”外公说，“你先去吧，我写完再来！”就这样，外公翻呀查呀，渐渐地夜深了，我们都入睡了。

半夜里，我醒了，蒙胧中看见灯还亮着，书桌前有个背影，不停地写着什么，汗水已经湿透了背心。我定睛一看，啊，是外公，他怎么还没唾？我看了一眼挂钟，已经深夜12点多了。外公的旁边还放着只脸盆，里面盛着冷水，一条毛巾，啊，这是外公用冷毛巾来降温呢！

外公的学习精神深深感染了我。我暗自下决心，一定要发奋学好英语，绝不辜负外公对我的一片苦心。从这以后，我的课余时间就和ABC交上了“朋友”。在往返学校的路上，在课间休息的时间里，在完成家庭作业之后……我把所学的英语单词，一个又一个背记在心里。这一招，还是外公教我的，他说，学好英语的基础，首先就是熟记单词。一天又一天过去了，我对英语越来越感兴趣了，还时常用英语和外公进行简单的对话，英语成绩自然上了一个新台阶。

现在我不在害怕英语考试了，每次考试之后，老师都会在班上点名表扬我。看着同学们那羡慕的眼神，其实我心里比谁都清楚，我今天的成绩，全都是因为我有一个好外公！

[初一作文：我和外公学英语

After reading this wonderful story, I can feel love, brave, deep friendship and some other good spirits in the people.

The Scarecrow wanted some brains, but on the way to the Emerald City, he thought out of a way to cross the river. The Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave, but when they met the river, he carried other friends to jump across it. And the Tin Man wanted a heart, he said he couldn’t love, but he didn’t want to hurt any animal.

In fact, they all have the things they want: the Scarecrow is clever, the Cowardly Lion is brave and the Tin Man is kind-hearted.

This book tells us a story of how a little girl Dorothy goes back to her hometown when she is in another strange city. Dorothy is a little girl who lived with her aunt and uncle in Kansas. The weather there is very bad, sometimes there was a cyclone. When a cyclone came, people stayed under their houses. But one day a cyclone blows Dorothy’s house, with Dorothy and her dog Toto in it, to a country called Oz. In that city there are four witches and a very famous wizard—the Wizard of Oz. And Dorothy’s house just fell on the bad Witch of the East and killed her, so the people there were very happy. Dorothy took the witch’s red shoes and wore them. She wanted to go home to Kansas but she doesn’t know how to get there. So the Witch of North told her to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard of Oz to help her. Then Dorothy met the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion, but they need help too. The Scarecrow wanted some brains, the Tin Man wanted a heard, and the Cowardly Lion wanted to be brave. So they all take the yellow brick road to the Emerald City. On the way to the Emerald City they met some difficulties, but they solved them successfully. After they met the Wizard of Oz, the wizard gave them another challenge—to kill the bad Witch of the West and they accept. During the way to the Witch of the West’s house, they were caught by the witch and Dorothy was requested to work for her. One day, when the witch tried to catch Dorothy’s red shoes, Dorothy threw some water on the witch by accident and the Witch of the West disappeared. Only water can kill her. So Dorothy went back to the Emerald City with her friends but they found the Wizard of Oz is not a real wizard, he is also a man came from Kansas, and he is just a conjurer. He wanted to go back to Kansas too. So he made a big balloon and prepared to go. But when the balloon is going to raise, Dorothy’s dog Toto jumped away to run after a cat, so Dorothy had to get Toto back and they were left in Oz. Then Dorothy and Toto went and find the Witch of the South and the witch told them they can just use the red shoes on Dorothy’s feet, they’re a pair of magic shoes, they could take anybody go back to their home as soon as she said‘East, west—home is the best!’After Dorothy said goodbye to her friends, she went back to her new home with her dog. It’s really a wonderful risk.

Yes, no matter where we are, home is always the best place for us to rest or study. There are our parents here; there are also our favorite things here. At home, we feel safe, we feel comfortable, and we can relax ourselves.

From this story, we can see Dorothy is a brave and kind-hearted girl. She killed the two bad witches in Oz; she helped the Scarecrow, the Tin Man, and the Cowardly Lion to go to the Emerald City to find the Wizard and get what they want. She solved problems when they met difficulties. It’s really not easy for such a little girl.

We also learn that teamwork is important for us. When we are in trouble, we can ask our friends for help, and also, when our friends need help, we should go and help them. Just remember, more people, more power. It’s always better has more people to do a thing. Teamwork is really necessary in our lives.

And we can see the Scarecrow is absolutely cleaver, he understands things, he can think, he learn quickly, and he suggested Dorothy to cut down a tree to cross the river. The tin man has a kind heart, he laughs, he cries, he loves, he feels sorry for people. The Cowardly Lion is really brave, he did a lot of brave things, he carried the friends to go across the river, and he wanted to find some food for his friends and so on. We should learn from them too. When we are in trouble, we should calm down, watch the things around carefully, and try to think out of a way to solve it, just like the Scarecrow. We also should be brave as we are in danger, we can’t be afraid, we should face the difficulty and try to go through it, just like the Cowardly Lion. And we should learn to love people, to feel sorry for people, to make more friends, to get on well with everyone around us, just like the Tin Man.

Yes, we should learn how to get on with other people, we should help each other, we should be brave, we should love other people. If we can do like this, we can be a better girl (boy), more and more people will make friends with us, and more and more people will like us!

" 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.

为了你，为了你所亲爱的任何人，我愿意做任何事情。倘若我的生命中有值得牺牲的可能和机会，我甘愿为你和你所爱的人们而牺牲。

——西德尼·卡尔顿

就这样被感动了。它是一部波澜壮阔的历史，它是一个感人肺腑的故事，它更是一种纯洁而高尚的爱。它就是狄更斯笔下的《双城记》。全书充溢着扑朔迷离的色彩，作者以一连串引人入胜的故事为框架，以十八世纪法国大革命为背景。在黑暗的资本主义社会里，农民阶级和工人阶级忍受着资产阶级无情的剥削。正如作者所说：“昌盛而又衰微，笃诚而又多疑，光明而又黑暗，这是充满阳光希望的黎明，又是阴暗失望的长夜，人们拥有一切，却两手空空。”而主人公西德尼·卡尔顿、露西·曼内特和查尔斯·达尔内之间真挚的情感，成为这部名著亮丽的一笔。

在小说中，狄更斯成功地塑造了主要人物鲜明的个性。曼内特是个深爱女儿的父亲，在经历磨难后仍宽容地把女儿嫁给仇人的儿子;露西是温柔善良的贤妻良母，为了让丈夫能看自己一眼每天风雨不改地到大墙对面站立两小时;查尔斯是个正直、豁达的贵族，与露西相爱，为了爱情甘愿放弃爵位与财产。

小说中还有一个人物，就是让人有点憎恶的泰雷兹·德伐日。失去亲人使她活着的唯一意义就是革命胜利之时为亲人报仇。可是等到革命胜利时，她许多年来梦寐以求的复仇却失去了对象，她的愤怒之深是可以想象的，然而为了发泄积愤却拿侯爵兄弟的儿子及其家人抵罪，她走上了一条与那些伪贵族同样残忍的道路，于是她的种种行为使她一步步失去了读者的谅解。最后，恶人有恶报，她戏剧性地因为枪走火而结束了自己充满仇恨的一生。也许这才是她最佳的结局。那些像德伐日那样以复仇为生活唯一目的的人，即使命运坎坷，也决不能博得人们的同情。

而在整篇小说中，最让我喜欢也是最令人感动的就是律师助手——西德尼·卡尔顿。他一出场就带着一身忧郁，隐去了光芒，总是灰心、失望、冷漠、凄凉。他妥协于周围环境，但有时却又显得格格不入，作为律师助手的他才华出众，却甘心情愿躲在人后，做别人成功的垫脚石，他仿佛亲手筑起了一堵墙，隔绝了名利、社会，默默地逗留在角落里。他与查尔斯长得十分相似，也同样深爱着露西，然而两者命运却截然不同。他羡慕查尔斯，也恨他。可在经历痛苦的煎熬后，他依旧带着诚挚的祝福，愿露西与查尔斯永远幸福，因为“爱比恨更为强有力得多”。这个表面上懒散、放纵的“无用之徒”，内心却是崇高而纯洁的。

终于，他向露西表达了自己的情感。每次读起那段话，难免感到心酸，“我希望你知道你是我灵魂最后的梦。我是在堕落的生活中看见你和你的父亲，还有你所经营的那个甜蜜的家，才恢复了我心中自以为早己死去的往日的梦想。我也因此才感到比任何时候都要凄凉可怜。自从我见到你以后，我才为一种原以为不会再谴责我的悔恨所苦恼。我听到我以为早已永远沉默的往日的声音在悄悄地催我上进…………”

当查尔斯因为家族的犯罪而被无辜判决死刑，西德尼竟然代替他去断头台接受行刑。在生命与爱之间，他选择了后者。他爱露西，为了她的幸福，他为她的爱人献出自己的生命。当他走上断头台的时候，面上依然保持着笑容，他信守对露西的诺言……因为，他的爱便是他的生命。此时此刻，我的脑海中想起了裴多菲的那首诗：“我愿意是急流/山里的小河/在崎岖的路上/岩石上经过/只要我的爱人是一条小鱼/在我的浪花中快乐地游来游去……”

尽管小说以一个意外的“大团圆”收场，但当读者流着眼泪读完该书时，却感到无限的遗憾、心酸。有人说爱情是自私的，但在狄更斯的《双城记》中，我却能深深地感受到一种超脱世俗的最纯洁、最崇高的爱。它隐藏在内心深处，但却无比的深厚;它默默地承受煎熬，为的只是使心爱的人幸福;它总是无私地付出，而不求一点儿的回报。这种爱在无形中上升到一个新境界，永恒地放着凄美而迷人的光彩。

“为了你，为了你所亲爱的任何人，我愿意做任何事情。倘若我的生命中有值得牺牲的可能和机会，我甘愿为你和你所爱的人们而牺牲。”

导语：《呼啸山庄》是英国女作家勃朗特姐妹之一艾米莉·勃朗特的作品，是19世纪英国文学的代表作之一。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的英语读后感，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Published in 1847, WUTHERING HEIGHTS was not well received by the reading public, many of whom condemned it as sordid, vulgar, and unnatural--and author Emily Bronte went to her grave in 1848 believing that her only novel was a failure. It was not until 1850, when WUTHERING HEIGHTS received a second printing with an introduction by Emilys sister Charlotte, that it attracted a wide readership. And from that point the reputation of the book has never looked back. Today it is widely recognized as one of the great novels of English literature.

Even so, WUTHERING HEIGHTS continues to divide readers. It is not a pretty love story; rather, it is swirling tale of largely unlikeable people caught up in obsessive love that turns to dark madness. It is cruel, violent, dark and brooding, and many people find it extremely unpleasant. And yet--it possesses a grandeur of language and design, a sense of tremendous pity and great loss that sets it apart from virtually every other novel written.

The novel is told in the form of an extended flashback. After a visit to his strange landlord, a newcomer to the area desires to know the history of the family--which he receives from Nelly Deans, a servant who introduces us to the Earnshaw family who once resided in the house known as Wuthering Heights. It was once a cheerful place, but Old Earnshaw adopted a "Gipsy" child who he named Heathcliff. And Catherine, daughter of the house, found in him the perfect companion: wild, rude, and as proud and cruel as she. But although Catherine loves him, even recognizes him as her soulmate, she cannot lower herself to marry so far below her social station. She instead marries another, and in so doing sets in motion an obsession that will destroy them all.

WUTHERING HEIGHTS is a bit difficult to "get into;" the opening chapters are so dark in their portrait of the end result of this obsessive love that they are somewhat off-putting. But they feed into the flow of the work in a remarkable way, setting the stage for one of the most remarkable structures in all of literature, a story that circles upon itself in a series of repetitions as it plays out across two generations. Catherine and Heathcliff are equally remarkable, both vicious and cruel, and yet never able to shed their impossible love no matter how brutally one may wound the other.

As the novel coils further into alcoholism, seduction, and one of the most elaborately imagined plans of revenge it gathers into a ghostly tone: Heathcliff, driven to madness by a woman who is not there but who seems reflected in every part of his world--dragging her corpse from the grave, hearing her calling to him from the moors, escalating his brutality not for the sake of brutality but so that her memory will never fade, so that she may never leave his mind until death itself. Yes, this is madness, insanity, and there is no peace this side of the grave or even beyond.

It is a stunning novel, frightening, inexorable, unsettling, filled with unbridled passion that makes one cringe. Even if you do not like it, you should read it at least once--and those who do like it will return to it again and again

【翻译】

《呼啸山庄》于1847出版，受到了公众的好评，许多人谴责它是肮脏的，粗俗的，不自然的。作者艾米莉·简·勃朗特于1848年去了坟墓，认为她的唯一小说是失败的。直到1850，当呼啸山庄收到了艾米丽的妹妹夏洛特介绍的第二次印刷，吸引了广大读者。从那一刻起，这本书的名声就再也没有回来了。今天，它被公认为是英国文学的伟大小说之一。

即便如此，呼啸山庄仍在划分读者。这不是一个美丽的爱情故事;相反，它是旋转的基本上使人陷入痴迷的爱转向黑暗的疯狂故事。这是残酷，暴力，黑暗和沉思，许多人觉得非常不愉快。然而，它拥有一个伟大的语言和设计，一种巨大的同情和巨大的损失，使它除了几乎所有其他小说写。

小说以一种扩展倒叙的形式讲述。在拜访他的奇怪的地主，新领域的欲望知道历史的家庭他接到Nelly Deans的一个仆人向我们介绍了Earnshaw家族曾经居住在房子被称为呼啸山庄。这是一次愉快的地方，但老萧采取“吉普赛”的孩子，他叫Heathcliff。凯瑟琳，房子的女儿，在他身上找到了完美的伴侣：野蛮，粗鲁，骄傲和残忍，因为她。但尽管凯瑟琳爱他，甚至承认他是她的灵魂伴侣，她不能降低自己结婚到目前为止，低于她的社会地位。她反而嫁给另一个人，在这样做设置运动的痴迷，将摧毁他们所有。

《呼啸山庄》有点难以进入;开头的章节是如此黑暗，在他们对这种痴迷的爱的结局的描绘中，他们有点偏离了现实。但他们以非凡的方式投入到作品的流动中，为所有文学中最显著的结构之一搭建舞台，这是一个在两个世代中上演的一连串重复的故事。凯瑟琳和希刺克厉夫同样了不起，既邪恶又残忍，但无论怎样残忍地伤害一个人，他们都无法摆脱不可能的爱。

作为新型线圈进一步转化为酒精中毒，诱惑，和一个最精心想象的计划报复并汇总成幽灵般的语气：希刺克厉夫，疯狂的女人是不存在的但他似乎反映在他的世界的每一个部分--从坟墓里拖着她的尸体，听见她叫他从摩尔人，升级他的残忍不残忍的缘故，但她那永不褪色的记忆里，让她永远直到死亡本身离开他的脑海。是的，这是疯狂的，疯狂的，没有和平这一边的坟墓，甚至超越。

这是一个惊人的小说，恐怖的，无情的，令人不安，充满了无尽的激情使人畏缩。即使你不喜欢它，你也应该至少读一次，而那些喜欢它的人会一次又一次地回到它

"The red" the heros name is in even, her first lover is Mrs DE rainer, a second lover is miss mathilde. Theory of status, the identity of the two harmonized appearances of people was significantly higher than him. So, one of my friends is so describe "the red" to me, this is a story of men against women climb.

I dont think Yu Lianyou love, at least until the end, is never seen, the existence of love is a kind of noble, some people say that love is to protect a person, with the standards, obviously, the two affairs cannot be counted as love. Rainer lady fell in love with in the original, but to even want from Mrs DE rainer, just a kind of identity, status to improve the satisfaction and to conquer a better than they are objects of desire, and this is a period of an affair, so even if reluctantly said, at last the moment he sank in madame DE rainer of love, but because of the wrong start, so finally its hard to die well. Besides, he should because Mrs Think DE rainer damaged his and miss mathilde better future, just want to kill DE rainer, madam, it is conceivable that he just want to from beginning to end his own ambitions, not really into the love. For miss mathilde, he wanted to be with miss mathilde is completely was swept away by mathilde external initial originates from one kind of flesh, then mood, a kind of the more cant get more want to torture him. Mathilde had just put in even as a fantasy, mathilde hopes to repeat her worship of a romance, it is not love, at last she kissed in the death of the mans head, also be realize her wish.

I dont like the story of the red, only to see the truth in this story is that Mrs DE rainer for even the relationships we have, but because Mrs DE rainers identity, have never been in love, so when she hadnt really learn to analysis, fell in love with to connect. Of course, have to say, if after you fall in love with is analyzed, can be rational to treat may, it is not pure love.

To even this ambition to insist, perhaps many also struggle at the grassroots level, we not rich "relationship", part of the worth learning. But his selfishness, the excess and lost "sincere" that, absolutely is that we should abandon the part. We should learn to use the right way to realize their dreams.

《红与黑》的男主人公叫于连，她的第一个情人是德莱纳夫人，第二个情人是马蒂尔德小姐。论身份地位来说，两任情人的身份都远远高于他。所以，我一个朋友是这样对我描述《红与黑》的，这就是一个男人靠着女人往上爬的故事。

我不认为于连有过爱情，至少直到结尾，也不曾见到过，爱情是一种高贵的存在，有人说，爱情是去守护一个人，用这个标准来说，显然，那两段情史都不能算作爱情。德莱纳夫人爱上了于连原本的样子，可是于连从德莱纳夫人身上想得到的只是一种身份，地位提高的满足感和征服一个比自己强的对象的征服欲，而且这是一段婚外情，所以哪怕勉强地说，最后那一刻他沉入了对德莱纳夫人的爱情，但是因为错误的开始，所以最后很难善终。况且，他竟然因为认为德莱纳夫人破坏了他和马蒂尔德小姐美好的未来，就想要杀了德莱纳夫人，可想而知，他从头到尾只想着自己的野心，并没有真正的投入到爱情中去。对于马蒂尔德小姐，他之所以想和马蒂尔德小姐在一起完全是被马蒂尔德的外在迷住了，初始来源于一种肉欲，后来一种越是得不到越想要的心情，狠狠地折磨了他。马蒂尔德只是把于连当作了一种幻想，马蒂尔德希望重复她崇拜的一段浪漫史，那也不是爱情，最后她亲吻了于连的死人头，也算是实现了她的愿望吧。

我不喜欢红与黑的故事，这个故事里唯一看到真情的就是，德莱纳夫人对于连的那份感情，可是由于德莱纳夫人的身份，还有从来没有陷入过爱情中，所以在她还没有真正的学会分析人的时候，就爱上了于连。当然，不得不说，如果分析了之后再爱上，能够被那么理智的对待的也许就不是纯真的爱情了。

于连这种对于野心的坚持，也许是不少还奋斗在基层，没有有钱人家的“关系”的我们，值得学习的一部分。但是他这种过度的自私，还有失去了“真心”这一点，绝对是我们应该摒弃的部分。我们应该学会用正确的方式实现自己的梦想。

《朝花夕拾》这本书是鲁迅先生晚年的作品。朝花夕拾意思是早上开的花，晚上才把它拾起来。《朝花夕拾》的十篇散文分别记录了不同的十件事情。这本书中记录了许多鲜活灵动的人物形象。如地位低下，饶舌多事却又纯淳善良的“阿长”认真负责没有民族偏见的藤野先生等。

在其中鲁迅最多地是描写从小带领他的女工“阿长”。因为社会的影响，她保留了许多封建习俗，像在新年吃福橘，还要对她说“阿妈恭喜恭喜。”有一次，她踩死了我的隐鼠，让我对她怀恨在心，可见她是一个粗鲁的人。但她也有善解人意的一面：她探亲时跑了许多路帮我买一本《山海经》。可见她是一个关心孩子的人。这虽是一个没有地位、毫不起眼的人物，却从她身上反映出了一个道理：虽然当时的社会十分黑暗，可是民间仍然有温暖的亲情。

碧绿的菜畦、光滑的石井栏、高大的皂荚树、紫红的桑椹，光这些景色，就让小鲁迅百玩不厌。百草园这个乐园仿佛会让读者恨不得马上去那儿饱饱眼福。进了三味书屋，正午习字，晚上对课。尽管如此，又阻挡不了孩子们爱玩的天性。

三味书屋后面有一个小园，鲁迅和小伙伴们一起折腊梅花，寻蝉蜕，喂蚂蚁，但人去多了，时间久了就会被老师寿镜吾先生叫回来背书。这虽然远远不及百草园的自由快活，但作者依然很开心。从这也能看出鲁迅童年时向往自由自在的生活，无拘无束的生活。

《朝花夕拾》这本书是鲁迅先生是一部散文集，表达了鲁迅先生对黑暗社会的反感，不满，也有对美好童年的向往、依恋。还有对中国教育的希望，鲁迅先生真是一个伟大的人啊！

Thoughts given by Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son

Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.

As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the wholle matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.

Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.

As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well. Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a GREat discovery or even the truth itself. From his speaking “Every mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.
