麦琪的礼物英文读后感【推荐20篇】

“生活是由哭泣、抽噎和微笑组成，而抽噎占了其中绝大部分。”这句话是最能形容德拉的感觉了。他的丈夫詹姆士。迪林厄姆。扬先生每星期只挣20美元，明天就是圣诞节了，她只剩下一美元八十七美分给丈夫买礼物了。

这段话是欧。亨利短篇小说《麦琪的礼物》的开头，这篇很符合欧亨利的一大特色，就是结尾出乎意料。它讲的是德拉夫人为了给自己的丈夫买圣诞礼物，卖掉了自己美丽的头发，买了一个表链，而她的丈夫卖掉了自己的表，换钱买了发梳。

可能有些人认为这个结局带有一些悲剧色彩，那对夫妇极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们家最宝贵的东西。当把宝贵的礼物带来后，但就是缺少了“那件东西”那件配得上礼物的东西。可在作者欧。亨利的眼里，在一切馈赠礼物的人当中，他们俩是最聪明的。在一切馈赠又接收礼物的人当中，他们俩也是最聪明的。无论在任何地方，他们都是最聪明的人，因为他们换来了最宝贵的东西，那就是爱情。假如家财万贯和真实的感情做选择的话，他们一定会选择感情，因为在她们的心目中，金钱并不是他们想要的，他们想要的是对方的真爱。

一直以来，喜欢读杂志类图书的我，看文章都是走马观花，看到哪一篇感兴趣了，才会细细读完。会细细把这篇文章读完，是因为作者的第一句引言“当你看到这样一条彩练，你也会想起老蜘蛛。”没什么想象力的我实在难以把蜘蛛与彩练联系起来。

作者冰波从婴幼儿至中学生均有适龄作品，是中国抒情童话的代表作家。

(从前，美丽的网，像一张迸发着力量的满弓。)

(从前，美丽的网。会在晨风里抖动，像一块轻纱。)

(从前，当猎物掉在网上拼命挣扎，也会在网里荡出一阵阵波浪，像这池塘一样。)

(从前的肚子是那么饱满、光滑，泛着一种金属的光泽。)

(它记得睡在网上的时候，阳光照着风，风儿轻轻摇着网。仿佛躺在云朵上，仿佛躺在秋千上，仿佛躺在微波上。)

老蜘蛛的点点美好回忆，在周围环境的记忆中渐渐绽放，在蟋蟀、萤火虫、蝴蝶、金铃子的陪衬下，慢慢显出以往的美好时光。它们在大自然中合唱一支歌“活着多么好可以尽情的歌唱、发光、舞蹈……”我们，其实生活很美好，但往往心情不够安静，忽略了身旁的许多美好。

This is a wonderful, beautiful epic of a novel. Set in Afghanistan and the United States between the 1970s to the present day, it is a heartbreaking tale of a young boy, Amir, and his best friend who are torn apart. This is a classic word-of-mouth novel and is sure to become as universally loved as The God of Small Things and The Glass Palace.

Twelve year old Amir is desperate to win the approval of his father Baba, one of the richest and most respected merchants in Kabul. He has failed to do so through academia or brawn, but the one area where they connect is the annual kite fighting tournament. Amir is determined not just to win the competition but to run the last kite and bring it home triumphantly, to prove to his father that he has the makings of a man. His loyal friend Hassan is the best kite runner that Amir has ever seen, and he promises to help him - for Hassan always helps Amir out of trouble. But Hassan is a Shia Muslim and this is 1970s Afghanistan. Hassan is taunted and jeered at by Amirs school friends; he is merely a servant living in a shack at the back of Amirs house. So why does Amir feel such envy towards his friend? Then, what happens to Hassan on the afternoon of the tournament is to shatter all their lives, and define their futures.

The Kite Runner of Khaled Hosseinis deeply moving fiction debut is an illiterate Afghan boy with an uncanny instinct for predicting exactly where a downed kite will land. Growing up in the city of Kabul in the early 1970s, Hassan was narrator Amirs closest friend even though the loyal 11-year-old with "a face like a Chinese doll" was the son of Amirs fathers servant and a member of Afghanistans despised Hazara minority. But in 1975, on the day of Kabuls annual kite-fighting tournament, something unspeakable happened between the two boys.

Narrated by Amir, a 40-year-old novelist living in California, The Kite Runner tells the gripping story of a boyhood friendship destroyed by jealousy, fear, and the kind of ruthless evil that transcends mere politics. Running parallel to this personal narrative of loss and redemption is the story of modern Afghanistan and of Amirs equally guilt-ridden relationship with the war-torn city of his birth. The first Afghan novel to be written in English, The Kite Runner begins in the final days of King Zahir Shahs 40-year reign and traces the countrys fall from a secluded oasis to a tank-strewn battlefield controlled by the Russians and then the trigger-happy Taliban. When Amir returns to Kabul to rescue Hassans orphaned child, the personal and the political get tangled together in a plot that is as suspenseful as it is taut with feeling.

The son of an Afghan diplomat whose family received political asylum in the United States in 1980, Hosseini combines the unflinching realism of a war correspondent with the satisfying emotional pull of master storytellers such as Rohinton Mistry. Like the kite that is its central image, the story line of this mesmerizing first novel occasionally dips and seems almost to dive to the ground. But Hosseini ultimately keeps everything airborne until his heartrending conclusion in an American picnic park.

——my thoughts after reading Joan of Arc

Sunshine shines over the statue in Orleans. The ordinary but famous girl named Joan is riding on her horse, smiling and looking down at the land that she has loved and fought on. She is the heroine of France, the saint from heaven. Her influences shine over every person’s heart, and I am deeply impressed by her story.

When Louis XIII was the king, the British and the Burundians invaded France and wanted to have the northern part of France. Joan helped French people coronate their new king, Louis XIV, getting almost all the invaded land back with the help of three saints. But after that, she was caught by the Burundians and was burnt on a cross by her enemy. This is the famous story about Joan, the saint. From a village girl to a national heroine, she only used a few years. How could Joan of Arc do that? I wonder.

Someone says the saints have chosen her and the God has given her power. But actually the real virgin doesn’t exist, From the birth of Jesus Christ in the first century, people have controlled the Christianity. I think the religion has become a tool between people. This kind of opinion about the success of Joan must be wrong.

Someone said, Joan had this wonderful success because of her confidence and will. I quite agree with this opinion. Because there aren’t any virgins in the world, so I think the appearance of the saints was only in Joan’s mind, actually nothing special happened to Joan. I think the things which really mattered were Joan’s thoughts. In my opinion, Joan must have some military ability to lead the whole army, because of her unusual image, Joan became more confident to the success. It let Joan had the will to be successful. So the success before did not happen by accident,. After some battles, Joan said that she had lost her support from the saints, but actually this didn’t mind. The more important thing was that she had lost her confidence and will, so she lost the battle at last.

So I think confidence and will are just like the foundation of success. All the success depends on them.

In the real world, confidence and will is always very important. During the XX Athens Olympic Games, Li Ting and Sun Tiantian have won the gold medal for the women’s double in the tennis game. It was the first time our anthem playing on the tennis court. Some medium says that they have won by chance. It was only a fairy tale. But I don’t think so. Actually they have won because of their believing in themselves, because they have confidence and will, so they have created a fairy tale in Greece. Their confidence and will have made the success, not by accident.

In our daily life, we must have confidence and will as well. Before the test we need to be confident to our actual strength or we’ll not give full play to our initiative. We need to be confident when we are speaking in public or others will not remember you among all the speakers. We need to have will in studying or we’ll not learn things solidly. We need to have will in our daily life or we’ll give up the things we are doing now. If we have confidence and will in our daily life, then I believe you’ll live brighter.

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.

The Scarlet Letter offers an extraordinary insight into the norms and behavior of the 17th century if American Puritan society.The basic conflicts and problems of its main characters,however,are familiar to readers in the present.The female protagonist,has borne a child out of wedlock and has been jailed for over three months and sentenced to wear a symbol of her adultery,a scarlet “A” on her dress at all times.It concerns about the moral,emotional and psychological effect of the sin on people in general.It’s not simply a love story or a story of sin.The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne uses the scarlet letters to symbolize the harshness of Puritan society,showing how they brand sinners for life.

The story happened in Boston about 200 years ago.It narrates love affairs between three persons.The punished woman.Hester Prynne and his husband.Who called himself Roger Chillingworth .He is an old misshapen man and a doctor.Hester does not love him at all.Another man is a young minister,Dimmesdale,who has a high position among ministers and is highly respected among his people in town.Hester and Dimmesdale love each other.But their love is forbidden in that time .It is sinful.Due to this,Hester is punished by society with a letter A on her chest,which considered an evil,a shame.

In this novel,the mainline seems to be around the letter A.Hester is brave enough to face the cruel reality.She is always with a mind of courage.She has been alone with her child for so long ,with litter communication.Shame!Hopelessness!Loneliness!Hester has to wear the letter A day after day,seven years as for punishment and ill fame.

When a woman has lived through a difficult experience,her character changes a great deal.If she be all tenderness,she will die.If she survive,the tenderness will leave her .Hester’s charitable deeds and quiet humility have earned her a reprieve from the scorn of the community.The letter on her chest represents her work on earth ,always helping others,without expecting any thanks.Never afterwards,does that scarlet letter leave her chest.The townspeople no longer view the letter as a punishment ,but rather as representing her great strength and bravery and thy say it means “Able”.

But Arthur Dimmesdale,his sin against Hester and Pearl is that he will not acknowledge them as his wife and daughter in the daylight.He keeps his dreadful secret from all those under his care in the church for seven years for fear that he will lose their love and will not be forgiven.He is too weak to admit his sins.He suffers from mysterious heart trouble,seemingly caused by psychological distress.What’s worse,he is an advisor to the townspeople about their sins.

After Mr.Dimmesdale’s death ,no one changes more in appearance than Roger Chilling worth.All his strength and energy has been used to harm his patient .This unhappy man has made his aim in life to add to the suffering of the young minister.When the evil old man no longer has such a purpose,the devil takes him back to the hell .It is a curious subject of observation,however,whether hatred or love are not of the same place.Each takes a great deal of emotion from one person.The two feelings seem basically the same,expect that one is smiled upon by God,while the other is worshipped by the devil.

Its a short story by O.Henry that has moved me for a long time.Maybe most of you are familar with its name,that is,The Gift of the Magi.I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately.I think "The Gift of the Magi"

is meant to be savored.

Maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story.But Im

so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it yo you,and to myself.

It happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England.Because of the maladies of that society and the effect of economic crisis,they worked hard but earned little.Life is very hard for them.Despite of this,their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didnt changed at all.When Chrismas day was approuching ,Della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give Jim a fob for his grandfathers pocket watch.But Jim had already sold that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair,not knowing shed cut it off.

It appears that the gifts they gave each other have been useless.But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy.Isnt that true love?We can image,in such rough conditions,as it said in the story,"Life is made up of sobs,sniffles,and smiles,with sniffles predominating."Itst absolute reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery.But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been,they wouldt lose heart.With strong faith and their love ,they did their best to make the other pleased."Whennever Mr. James came home and reached his flat ,above he was called Jimand greatly hugged by Mrs. James."Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life.It was said that the povertier life is ,the firmer and truer love is."Actually,theyd given the very best they had out of love.

"They are too foolish children in a flat,who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house.But in a last word,to the wise of these days,let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest."Said the writer in the last paragraph.Yes,they are wisest.They are the magi.Are there any reasons for us not to show respect for the young couple?

I remind my grandparents.They have spent fifty years together.No romantic words,no stirring behaviours,just comman even pedestrian life.But I can say love exists in every detail of their life.They have gone through war period,three years natural disasters,cultural revolution and so on.But no matter what happens,they are always considering for the other.Even now both of them have become old step by step,they still cared about each other.My grandparents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.

Love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.Its consideration,tolerance and respect.Its giving ones best to the other even it means sacrifice.Its affection which connects two persons hearts,and its reinforced by adversities.

Struggle against adversities.Nothing did they have,at least they owened love.Never give up as long as love exists.From"The Gift of the Magi",from Jim and Della and from my grandparents,I have learned a lot about love,life and hope.

The world is what we see now this appearance? Plants are always silent, the animals dont have thoughts and feelings, food can fill our belly...

That may not be oh! As long as you are willing to, he may become another appearance: starlight shines through every corner of the small animals to play with you, sitting in my room, you can flying into the ground, in a twinkling, with roaming wanli... Want to go to the world for roaming, it is not difficult, just need some curiosity and some fantasy.

Alice has done this in the past, the story is like this: in a make you sleepy in the afternoon, Alice in the river the chasing a talking rabbit in vest and fell into the rabbit hole, which came to a wonderful world, in this wonderful world many strange things happened, until Alice clashed with the queen, just wake up, found himself still lay in the river.

When I finished reading the book, I realized the fun of reading and imagine happiness. The book brought me to a wonderful world to roaming, also left a deep impression on me.

Reading this book, like to set foot on a boat trip, can roam the world, you can look at flags, can feel happy. I also want to Alice, for life is full of beautiful yearning to do a good boy!

世界就是我们现在看到的这个样子吗?植物们永远默默无语，动物们没有思想和感情，食物只能填饱我们的肚子……

那可不一定哦!只要你愿意，他完全可能变成另外一种样子：星光洒满每一个角落，小动物们和你一起玩耍，坐在自己的房间里，就可以飞天入地，转瞬间，你以漫游万里……想到这个世界去漫游，一点也不难，只需要一些好奇心和一些幻想。

爱丽丝就做到了这一点，故事是这个样子的：在一个让人昏昏欲睡的下午，爱丽丝在河边追逐一只穿着背心的会说话的兔子而掉进了兔子洞，从而来到了一个奇妙的世界，在这个奇妙的世界里发生了许多奇怪的事情，直到爱丽丝与女王发生冲突，才醒过来，发现自己依然躺在河边。

当我阅读完这本书时，我体会到了读书的乐趣与想象的快乐。这本书把我带到了一个奇妙的世界里去漫游，同时也给我留下了深刻的印象。

阅读这本书，犹如踏上一只旅行的小艇，可以漫游世界，可以仰望旗帜，可以体会快乐。我也要向爱丽丝一样，做个对生活充满美好向往的好孩子!

"The gift of the magi" tells a story like this: in order to buy a platinum fob chain for her husband as a Christmas gift, his wife, sold a head of show hair. And her husband for the same purpose, sold the ancestral gold watch for his wife bought a set of combs. Although each others gift lost use value, but they get more important things than feelings, love, is priceless.

After reading it, I ask: arent rich couple, but it can in the ordinary day make such a remarkable thing: for the sake of each other, regardless of their completely. It is because they love each other, so would do such extraordinary things. By contrast, how much I pay for others? In life, I always for a little dispute, with others, haggle over every ounce, finally do more harm than good, bad credibility instead, why dont I learn from them, care about each other, and what is bad? I should really reflect on yourself.

"Lover one constant love", only care about each other and love each other, for the sake of others, the world wouldnt be so indifferent and cold.

《麦琪的礼物》讲述了一个这样的故事：为了给丈夫买一条白金表链作为圣诞礼物，妻子卖掉了一头秀发。而丈夫出于同样目的，卖掉了祖传的金表给妻子买了一套发梳。尽管彼此的礼物都失去了使用价值，但他们从中获得比情感更重要的东西——爱，却是无价的。

读完之后，我深有感触：一对并不富有的夫妇，却能在平凡的一天做出这样一件不平凡的事情：为对方着想，完全不顾自己。正是因为他们互相爱着对方，所以才会做出这样不平凡的事情。相比之下，我为别人付出的又有多少呢?在生活中，我总是为了一点小纠纷，与别人针锋相对，斤斤计较，最后得不偿失，反而坏了信誉，我何不学学他们，互相关心，又有什么不好呢?我应该认真反思自己。

“爱人者人恒爱之”，只有互相关心、互相关爱，为他人着想，世界才不会这么冷漠、无情了。

The novel opens with the famous line, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.". and ends with two marriages: Jane and Bingleys, as well as Darcy and Elizabeths. Both couples are assumed to live happily ever after.

Elizabeth (Lizzy) Bennet is the core of the family. Elizabeth is the second of Mr. and Mrs. Bennets five daughters, and is an intelligent, bold, attractive twenty-year-old when the story begins. In addition to being her fathers favourite, Elizabeth is characterized as a sensible, yet stubborn, woman. Misled by his cold outward behaviour, Elizabeth originally holds Mr. Darcy in contempt. However, she finds that Mr. Darcy improves on acquaintance, more so than she would expect.

Fitzwilliam Darcy (commonly known as Mr. Darcy) is the central male character and Elizabeths second love interest in the novel. He is an intelligent, wealthy, extremely handsome and reserved 28-year-old man, who often appears haughty or proud to strangers but possesses an honest and kind nature underneath. Initially, he considers Elizabeth his social inferior, unworthy of his attention, but he finds that, despite his inclinations, he cannot deny his feelings for Elizabeth. His initial proposal of marriage is rejected because of his pride and Elizabeths prejudice against him; however, at the end of the novel, after their relationship has blossomed, he is happily engaged to a loving Elizabeth.

one of the most interesting questions about gullivers travels is whether the houyhnhnms represent an ideal of rationality or whether on the other hand they are the butt of swifts satire. in other words, in book iv, is swift poking fun at the talking horses or does he intend for us to take them seriously as the proper way to act? if we look closely at the way that the houyhnhnms act, we can see that in fact swift does not take them seriously: he uses them to show the dangers of pride.

first we have to see that swift does not even take gullver seriously. for instance, his name sounds much like gullible, which suggests that he will believe anything. also, when he first sees the yahoos and they throw excrement on him, he responds by doing the same in return until they run away. he says, "i must needs discover some more rational being," even though as a human he is already the most rational being there is. this is why swift refers to erasmus darwins discovery of the origin of the species and the voyage of the beagle-to show how gulliver knows that people are at the top of the food chain. but if lemule gulliver is satirized, so are the houyhnhnms, whose voices sound like the call of castrati. they walk on two legs instead of four, and seem to be much like people. as gulliver says, "it was with the utmost astonishment that i witnessed these creatures playing the flute and dancing a vienese waltz. to my mind, they seemed like the greatest humans ever seen in court, even more dextrous than the lord edmund burke" . as this quote demonstrates, gulliver is terribly impressed, but his admiration for the houyhnhnms is short-lived because they are so prideful. for instance, the leader of the houyhnhnms claims that he has read all the works of charles dickens, and that he can singlehandedly recite the names of all the kings and queens of england up to george ii. swift subtly shows that this houyhnhnms pride is misplaced when, in the middle of the intellectual competition, he forgets the name of queen elizabeths husband.

swifts satire of the houyhnhnms comes out in other ways as well. one of the most memorable scenes is when the dapple grey mare attempts to woo the horse that guenivre has brought with him to the island. first she acts flirtatiously, parading around the bewildered horse. but when this does not have the desired effect, she gets another idea: "as i watched in amazement from my perch in the top of a tree, the sorrel nag dashed off and returned with a yahoo on her back who was yet more monstrous than mr. pope being fitted by a clothier. she dropped this creature before my nag as if offering up a sacrifice. my horse sniffed the creature and turned away." it might seem that we should take this scene seriously as a failed attempt at courtship, and that consequently we should see the grey mare as an unrequited lover. but it makes more sense if we see that swift is being satiric here: it is the female houyhnhnm who makes the move, which would not have happened in eighteenth-century england. the houyhnhm is being prideful, and it is that pride that makes him unable to impress gullivers horse. gulliver imagines the horse saying, sblood, the notion of creating the bare backed beast with an animal who had held mr. pope on her back makes me queezy .

a final indication that the houyhnmns are not meant to be taken seriously occurs when the leader of the houynhms visits lilliput, where he visits the french royal society. he goes into a room in which a scientist is trying to turn wine into water (itself a prideful act that refers to the marriage at gallilee). the scientist has been working hard at the experiment for many years without success, when the houyhnmn arrives and immediately knows that to do: "the creature no sooner stepped through the doorway than he struck upon a plan. slurping up all the wine in sight, he quickly made water in a bucket that sat near the door" .

he has accomplished the scientists goal, but the scientist is not happy, for his livelihood has now been destroyed. swifts clear implication is that even though the houyhnhmns are smart, they do not know how to use that knowledge for the benefit of society, only for their own prideful agrandizement.

throughout gullivers travels, the houyhnhms are shown to be an ideal gone wrong. though their intent might have been good, they dont know how to do what they want to do because they are filled with pride. they mislead gulliver and they even mislead themselves. the satire on them is particularly well explained by the new born houyhnhm who, having just been born, exclaims, "with this sort of entrance, what must i expect from the rest of my life!" .

Mrs. Bennet wants to marry off her daughters. If you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, I must mention the situation in Britain at that time. Only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. Younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. Thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. Jane Austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.

In “Pride and Prejudice”， the sister of Mr. Bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying Jane because the Bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. From this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. The society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.

In modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. A lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. Education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. Marry for money is still a big problem in our society. We can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?

Austen left this problem for us to think. The genius of Jane Austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. Although Austen was only 21 when she wrote “Pride and Prejudice”， her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. The plots in her works are always very natural. The development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. I think the depth of Pride and Prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. Today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.

《麦琪的礼物》是收录于欧亨利的短篇小说集的一篇文章，刚开始，就被他那的故事情节吸引住了。

它讲述了一个生活在社会最底层的故事。圣诞节要来临了，麦琪夫妇。打算彼此互赠礼物。妻子有一头乌黑浓密的长发，而丈夫却有一个祖传的金表，可惜没有表带。妻子卖掉了一半引以为豪的长发，给丈夫买了表带。而丈夫卖掉了自我的金表，给妻子买了梳妆工具。

一开始读到那里，我觉得很好笑。故事漠然一笑之后，令我感慨万千。人世间最珍贵的。并不是钱，而是人世间的真情。这篇文章也揭露了在社会的底层，虽然不是达官贵族，没有权利，没有金钱，没有地位。可是他们却收获了人世间的真情。是你拥有千百万也收获不到的。

有了金钱，往往会忽视最珍贵的感情。如果有两种选择放在你面前。你是会选择千百万的金钱呢?还是会选择一份真挚的感情呢?有些人可能会犹豫，有些人可能会选择千百万的金钱。而我会毫不犹豫的选择那份真挚的感情。因为他是无价的，是用多少钱也买不回来的。

让我们不要抱怨生活的冷漠与无情，其实即使你生活在在社会的底层，也有一些不被人重视的真情。

《麦琪的礼物》是欧·亨利写的一篇非常有趣的作品，它主要讲述了圣诞节的前一天，住在公寓里的贫穷的一对夫妻给对方一个惊喜，可是她身上只有一元八角七分，她知道这一点钱不能买什么好的礼物给自己的丈夫，于是他把自己那美秀长如瀑布般的秀发剪了下来，给卖了，换了20元美元。吉姆也想给自己的老婆一个惊喜，于是也把自己名贵的手表给买了，德拉找遍了各家商店，花了最便宜的21美元，终于买了一条朴素的白色表链，吉姆买到了德拉梦寐以求的全套漂亮的梳子作为圣诞礼物。

从这本书我知道了，虽然表面上这对夫妻极不明智的为对方牺牲自己心爱的东西，给对方买东西，但我深深的明白了，因为他们彼此爱着对方，肯为对方牺牲自己最爱的东西，给彼此买东西，可是双方买了自己的东西，不适合对方的礼物了，而对方做的这件事都是为了彼此着想，没有考虑自己，还是非常非常的爱着对方，才会这样的结局。

我还知道，我们要懂得去爱对方，不能只为自己想，要关心别人，这样别人也会爱你的，正是要爱，人与人之间才会了解对方，人与人之间才有温情。与动物之间我们也会更加友好的。

我相信只有大家心中有着爱，我们的世界会更加的友好会更加的温馨快乐的!

十二元整。全都在这儿了，九张油渍斑斑的一元钱还有一小把发黄变锈的硬币。全是他这个月里起早贪黑省吃俭用攒下来的。可是只有这么一些钱，可怎么给心爱的德拉买礼物呢？他手上可以卖掉的琐碎小东西都卖了，连工作所必须的笔和纸都是厚着脸皮找同事要来的。有时候同事那种含着无奈与鄙夷的眼神看来，吉姆的脸上也是挂不住。但是现实很残酷，只有那可怜的十二美元，买来的东西怎能配的上德拉呢？更何况明天就是圣诞节了。

除了瘫坐在一张小椅子上一口又一口的喝着两分钱一杯的劣质苦咖啡外并没有其他的什么办法。

当这位辛苦的职员开始工作时，我们来看看他工作的环境吧。吉姆是在最小的办公室里工作的。十几个人，每人只有一平方米的办公区，吉姆只有一张小桌子和一把坐上去摇摇欲坠的小椅子。他的小桌子上只放的下一支同事给的笔，公司的纸。一个小杯子和一盆小花。花是当年这个桌子的主人春风得意之时加上的。当时吉姆每周有三十美元，他认为有一盆花会更加让他轻松并精心保护着。但现在吉姆的工资只有每周区区二十美元。那盆以前十分受宠的小花自然就被吉姆所重视了，现在凋零的只剩一朵花瓣。

吉姆望向窗外，一个个妇人走在街上引人注目，可吉姆的注意力却停留在了对面百老汇一个窗子里的东西。那是德拉梦寐以求的东西，价格不菲要两百美元。吉姆的十二元又算个什么呢？吉姆突然神经质一样放下手中的笔，穿上他那件破旧的外衣，飞似的离开了公司。吉姆跑向了路边的一个店铺，上面写着——麦克先生，专营各种钟表业务。吉姆掏出了自已最值钱的金表。那是他祖父去世时留给他父亲的，他父亲近几年去世又传给他的，可谓是吉姆家的传家宝。它是纯金的，在表的两面各有精美的镂空雕刻，打开怀表，连三根表针都是由铂金打造而成的，数字一至十二分别有着不同的珍宝来做装饰。拿在手里很有厚重感，吉姆看着手中的表，这块陪伴他家人成长的表，父亲去世前还在叮咛的表，如今就要离他而去了。想着，不禁有一滴晶莹的泪水滴落在水泥地上。可是世间没有一个人会感到这丝无奈且悲凉的泪水。世界太大，一个人的悲伤太渺小，影响不到世间每一个人的情绪。吉姆也不知怎的就上了楼。他的面前站着一个身材高大的男士，他问：“您有什么需要的么”，吉姆将表给了他，说了句：“这个能卖多少钱？”先生仔细的看了看说：“一口价两百，拍卖的话可能更多一点。”吉姆毫不犹豫的当场拿到了两百元钱，他顾不上什么更加多的事情了。出了门，他飞快的奔跑着似乎要将一切关于金表的事都扔在脑后。

现在这位先生的脑子里只有一个念头，我美丽的德拉以后再也不会被那该死的破梳子刮到头发了。时间像火车一样飞逝。转眼间吉姆的两百元已经没有了。可他的包中，却装着他对德拉的爱——一套纯玳瑁的梳子。

上楼之前，吉姆还在小声嘀咕着，希望德拉喜欢吧！

《麦琪的礼物》是欧·亨利写的一篇搞笑的文章。它主要讲述了圣诞节的前一天，住在公寓里的贫穷的德拉想给丈夫吉姆一个惊喜，但是她只有一元八角七，她明白这点钱根本不够买什么好的礼物，于是她把引以自豪的褐色瀑布似的秀发剪下来，卖了，换来了20美元。找遍了各家商店，德拉花去21美元，最后买到一条朴素的白金表链，这能够配上吉姆的那块金表。而吉姆也想给老婆一个惊喜，他同样卖掉了引以自豪的金表，买了德拉羡慕渴望已久的全套漂亮的梳子作圣诞礼物。

从这篇文章里，虽然表面上看他们极不明智地为了对方而牺牲了他们家各自最宝贵的东西，但我深深地感到，他们彼此深爱着对方。他们能牺牲自己最贵重的物品，为的是给对方买来最好的礼物。但是双方卖掉了自己贵重的物品，那么对方的礼物已经不适合自己了，而他们做这些事的时候，都是为了对方着想，根本没有思考自己。正是因为他们互相爱着，而且是深深地爱着对方，才会有这样搞笑的结局。

读完这篇文章，我懂得了我们要去关爱别人，这样别人才会爱我们，正是有了爱，人与人之间才会相互理解，人与人之间才有温情。人与动物之间也是因为有了爱，动物才会信任人类，不伤害人类，与人类和平相处。爱的力量真的是很伟大的，有一首歌里面就唱到了：只要人人都献出一点爱，世界将转成完美的人间。在去年印度洋海啸发生的时候，就有全世界各国的人民伸出援助之手，捐款捐物帮忙受难的灾民重建家园，使失散的亲人团聚，从这件事中，我感受到了各国人民之间的纯洁友谊。我相信：只要我们心中充满爱，我们的世界会有更加完美的明天!

《雾都孤儿》揭露许多当时的社会问题，如救济院、童工、以及帮派吸收青少年参与犯罪等。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感，希望对你有帮助。

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

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

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

How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive affliction remain pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information implied in the novel by Dickens—he believed that goodness could conquer every difficulty. Although I dont think goodness is omnipotent, yet I do believe that those who are kind-hearted live more happily than those who are evil-minded.

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

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

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

That is to say a person without goodness is destined to lose everything. Therefore, I, a kind person, want to tell thosevermin-to-beto learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

Jane Eyre, is a poor but aspiring, small in body but huge in soul, obscure but self-respecting girl. After we close the covers of the book, after having a long journey of the spirit, Jane Eyre, a marvelous figure, has left us so much to recall and to think:

We remember her goodness: for someone who lost arms and blinded in eyes, for someone who despised her for her ordinariness, and even for someone who had hurt her deeply in the past.

We remember her pursuit of justice. It’s like a companion with the goodness. But still, a virtuous person should promote the goodness on one side and must check the badness on the other side.

We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality.

We also remember her striving for life, her toughness and her confidence…

When we think of this girl, what she gave us was not a pretty face or a transcendent temperament that make us admire deeply, but a huge charm of her personality.
