昆虫记英语读后感简短(经典20篇)

一个人穷其一生来观察，研究“虫子”，已经算得上是奇迹了;一个人一生为虫子写出了十卷大部头的书，更不能不说是奇迹;而这些书被不断地翻译成各种文字，并在百年后依然能引起轰动，那便是奇迹中的奇迹。没错，这些奇迹的创造者就是“昆虫学的荷马”法布尔与他的《昆虫记》。

《昆虫记》既是严肃的科普读物，又是一部文字优美的文学经典。它的文字生动活泼，语言轻松恢谐，使人感到情趣盎然。

我在读《昆虫记》时，也常常被感动着。昆虫们的一举一动，无一不被赋予人的思想感情，作者竟用“小虫子”的世界折射出了人类社会!同时，作者在对小昆虫们的描述中，也体现出了自己对生活和世界认知独特的眼光，字里行间洋溢着对生命的热爱与敬畏，感动着我们。其实，《昆虫记》不仅仅诠释着对生命的敬畏之情，更蕴含着某种精神。这种精神就是求真，即追求真理，探求真相的精神。这种精神也是法布尔精神。想当初，无论是六只脚的蚂蚁还是八只脚的蜘蛛，每个对象都耗费了法布尔数年到数十年的时间去观察并实验!为的就是求得详实大量的第一手观察、实验的资料。我想，这种无与伦比的坚持也正是法布尔精神的写照。

求真的精神可以干什么?我来告诉你：因为有求真的精神与力量，加利略才敢否定亚里士多德千年的权威，成就一段佳话;因为有了求真的精神与力量，哥白尼才坚持自己的观点，从而让一门荒唐的学说毁灭;同样的，因为没有具备太多求真的精神与勇气，我国在近代才会如此受人凌辱，才会如此不堪。幸好，有一批有担当的人，把它拉回了正确的道路。

其实，我们也不用把求真看得多么高大，在我们的生活中，求真的精神也常常出现：上课时指出老师或同学的错误是求真;下课自己克服难题是求真;考试时独立完成也是求真。总而言之，你的每一次认真思考，都是对世界的一次求真。

可能是丰富的昆虫知识与优美的语言，也可能是法布尔的精神，不管怎样，百年过去，《昆虫记》依然绽放着光彩，它影响了一代又一代读者，唤起了他们对万物，对问题的深刻省思。它就像一座指引前进的丰碑，不愧为“昆虫的史诗”!

[书虫的英语读后感

导语：《简·爱》是英国女作家夏洛蒂·勃朗特创作的长篇小说，是一部具有自传色彩的作品。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的相关作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

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 don’t 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 people’s 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 their ‘kindness’, 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 those ‘vermin-to-be’ to learn from the kind Oliver and regain the nature of goodness.

奥利弗扭，是查尔斯·狄更斯最著名的作品之一，是一部反映第十八世纪英国生活悲剧的小说。

作者自己出生在一个贫穷的家庭写这本小说在他的二十几岁，以揭示这些丑恶的罪犯丑恶的面具，揭露隐藏在伦敦狭窄和肮脏的街道下的恐怖和暴力。

这部小说的主人公是Oliver Twist，一个孤儿，被扔进了一个充满贫穷和犯罪的世界。他遭受了巨大的痛苦，如饥饿，口渴，殴打和虐待。在读小奥利弗的悲惨经历时，我对他的痛苦感到震惊。我觉得对穷人的孩子，但同时我憎恶邪恶的费根和残暴的比尔。让我欣慰的是，正如所有最好的故事所写的那样，善良最终战胜了恶魔，奥利弗最终过上了幸福的生活。一个情节是最吸引我的是盗窃后，小奥利弗被允许在Maylie太太和罗丝的护理下恢复并开始新的生活。他和他们一起散步，罗斯向他朗读，他努力学习功课。他觉得自己似乎永远地留下了罪恶、困苦和贫穷的世界。

这样一个受过压迫的小男孩怎么能保持身心的纯洁呢?原因是善良的本性。我认为这是狄更斯小说中最重要的信息，他相信善良可以战胜一切困难。虽然我不认为善良是万能的，但我相信那些善良的人比那些有邪恶思想的人生活得更幸福。

对我来说，善良的本质是一个人最必要的性格之一。善良之于人类犹如水之于鱼。没有良善的人是一个毫无价值的人。相反，正如著名的谚语所说，芬芳总是停留在给玫瑰的手，与善良的人无疑是一个快乐和有用的人。人们收到他的帮助是感谢他，他也得到了欣慰，他做了什么，因此他可以做的好事，他帮助的人和自己。

令我失望的是，现在有些人似乎怀疑人性的善的存在。他们看不起人们的诚实和善良，认为愚蠢的人是热心。结果，他们对那些处于困境中的人没有同情心，也很少主动帮助别人。另一方面，他们重视金钱和利益。在他们看来，金钱是唯一真正的对象，而情感和道德的虚无。如果他们不能从显示他们的“善意”获得利润，他们退缩时，别人面临的麻烦，甚至打了一个人，当他下来。他们是我最讨厌的一种。

弗朗西斯·培根说，在他的文章中，“善良，所有的美德和心灵的尊严，是最大的，是神的性质，没有它，人是一个繁忙的，淘气的、不幸的事情，没有比一种害虫。”

也就是说，没有善良的人注定会失去一切。因此，我，一个善良的人，想告诉那些“vermin-to-be从一种奥利弗恢复善良的本质。

“哗啦啦、哗啦啦......”随着书页一声声翻动，一本《昆虫记》已经被我认认真真地读完了，里面的内容让我大开眼界!

在阅读这本书前，我对昆虫学科一无所知，更不知道其中的奥秘，读完后，我知道了：昆虫的身体分为头部、胸部和腹部三部分;多数昆虫都有触角、三对足、一对或两对翅膀，有的昆虫没有翅膀;不知道蜘蛛不是虫子;还不知道我们把对人有贡献的昆虫称为“益虫”，不知道我们把对人有危害的昆虫称为“害虫”……

功夫不负有心人，我阅读完这本书，知道了许许多多昆虫世界里内藏着的

“玄机”：知道了那些蚂蚁勤奋劳动，蟋蟀夏天唱歌，结果蚂蚁在冬天过上好生活，蟋蟀被冻死这种故事是假的;知道了萤火虫其实很残忍，会吃蜗牛;知道了各种种类的蜜蜂是怎么筑巢的……

我印象最深刻的故事是萤火虫备餐。在没有读《昆虫记》之前，萤火虫在我印象中是可爱的、招人喜欢的;可读完《昆虫记》后，我知道了萤火虫原来是吃肉的，最喜欢吃蜗牛。萤火虫吃蜗牛的过程也让我大吃一惊：当蜗牛爬到一个物体上时，蜗牛壳如果没有严严实实地粘在这个物体上，哪怕留一丝一毫的缝隙，萤火虫就会用它身上的一根细针将麻醉药注射到蜗牛身子里，蜗牛就会立即动弹不得，成为萤火虫的盘中餐，口中肉。

读完《昆虫记》，我不仅知道了许多昆虫界的奥秘，还从作者身上学到了很多。

法布尔有着求真务实的研究态度、严谨的科学作风。从来不道听途说，别人说什么就是什么，别人说对就对。法布尔每次会用实验来证明这些事件是对是错。

法布尔还有认真观察的习惯。每当他捕捉到一只昆虫，就会把它先放在显微镜下，然后仔细观察这个昆虫的外貌，再仔细观察它和别的昆虫最与众不同的一面，最后把这些东西搞得一清二楚。

法布尔那用心思考的品质也值得我们学习。法布尔常常会在书里提到一些关于自己思考的事情，就拿萤火虫的备餐这个故事举个例子吧!法布尔在里边说明了他自己想萤火虫是怎样吃东西，他能推出结论，也是因为他的细心观察，他发现萤火虫嘴部没有一个牙齿，所以推断萤火虫是先消化再吞咽的昆虫。

我们也要学习法布尔永不放弃的精神。法布尔之所以能受到人们的敬佩，是因为他能通过失败看见胜利，真是“天下无难事，只怕有心人”啊!

昆虫记是一本值得我们细细品味的书，这本书能带给我无数的快乐与启发。读完这本书，你一定也能知道更多!

如果让我在令人眼花缭乱的书橱中找一本我的最爱，我会毫不犹豫地选择《昆虫记》。

最早了解《昆虫记》是在我六岁那年，每晚都要听妈妈读几页，那个时候我捉蚂蚁，用细绳拴住蚂蚱的一条腿，把知了装在瓶子里，干这些事的时候总是充满乐趣。当我发现居然有一本书专门描写这些形态各异的小东西的时候，更是激起我对这些小虫子极大的好奇心。

昆虫是大自然中非常庞大的一个家族，它们对于我们太常见了，似乎没有任何稀奇，但是这本书却告诉了我们太多被我们忽略的知识，比如：蝉为什麽要大声唱歌?萤火虫尾巴上为什么有一盏小灯?蟋蟀的家是什么样?蜘蛛网为什么不是杂乱无章而是非常规则的几何形?还有，你知道吗?蝎子居然是“胆小鬼”!粪金龟(俗称屎壳郎)滚来滚去的粪球居然是给宝宝准备的食物!而且还非常详细地描述了这个粪球是如何制作的并且为什么会那么圆……这些简直太有趣了!

于是，我开始观察我周围的虫子们。有天晚上，我正为一道数学题发愁，一只蛾子不识时务地在我眼前飞来飞去，我一巴掌捂下去，不小心弄断了它的一条腿，它只能呼扇着翅膀原地转圈，忽然我发现它屁股后面出现了一颗小白点，不像它的“便便”，那颗白点掉下来后又出来一颗，好像是粘住了——下不来，我就用牙签帮它拨下来，然后又出来一颗，于是我一颗一颗帮它“接生”，至少有十几颗，我认为那是它的卵，可是后来那些卵在书本的挪动中找不到了，它们变成小蛾子了吗?

《昆虫记》为我打开了昆虫乐园的大门，那些生动的文字引领我走进多姿多彩的昆虫世界。它让我学会了观察——用探索的眼睛，不仅仅是昆虫，还有大自然。所以，我爱《昆虫记》!我爱昆虫!

During the summer holiday, I spent much time in reading. I finished one of the four masterpieces ofChina, Journey to the West. It’s really an interesting book, telling many adventurous stories. I had watched the TV series before, but I found that the book is much interesting. Except for the adventurous experiences, we still can learn something from this book. We should be brave and confident to ourselves, no matter how many difficulties we meet. Our fellows and teamwork is important to us. When we are in trouble, they are the person we can rely on. And the trust between people is of great importance. It can combine people to a group and work together.

《大力神的传说》讲述了众神之王宙斯的儿子赫拉克勒斯一出生就强壮有力，从而引发了女神赫拉的嫉妒，陷害他犯下可怕的罪行。

"Love education" this book let me know a lot of human reason, make my benefit bandit shallow.

I think amway is a filial child, is also a kind of children. He is innocent, lively, active, there are a lot of care in his life his good friend, always encourage him, comfort him, so he can grow up smoothly, also can obtain experience.

Give me the deepest memory is second grades student Betty, he in order to protect a giulio was struck by the carriage is not a grader, is too late to dodge, crushed the foot bone by carriages, after the walk on crutches only. Students to help others in our life, there is, but like his sacrifice themselves to protect others students, we would not have met. See this story, I thought about the newspaper report: a ninety - year - old woman fell to the sidewalk. 20 minutes, not a passer-by to raise her up. Until 120 the ambulance arrived, the old lady had died for about 20 minutes. Also is two people to help, but the results are completely different, a received rescue, lay down his life for his people died a long time to be discovered. The pedestrian to give save ROM. Betty is good as a mile.

It is because the amway division side there are so many good partners, he can understand the world is full of love. It makes me feel this book is very meaningful, let me realize what is unable to destroy the friendship between classmates, what is a meticulous care between teachers and students, what is parents endless love! I believe that if you have these qualities, know what is true, the good and the beautiful people, must be the most beautiful and good life in the world!

《爱的教育》这本书让我知道了许多做人的道理，令我收益匪浅。

我觉得安利科是个孝顺的孩子，也是个善良的孩子。他天真、活泼、好动，在他生活中有许多关怀他的好朋友，时常鼓励他，安慰他，所以他才可以顺利成长，也可以从中获取经验。

给我记忆最深的是二年级的学生罗贝蒂，他为了保护一个一年级的小学生朱利奥不被马车撞到，自己却来不及躲开，被马车把脚骨压碎了，经后只能靠拐杖行走了。在我们的生活中，帮助别人的同学是有的，但像他这样了为保护别人而牺牲自己的同学，我们就不一定有幸遇到了。看到这一个故事，令我想到了报纸上的一则报道：一位九十多岁的老太太倒在人行道上。20分钟里，竟没有一个路人上前搀扶。等到120急救车赶到时，老太太已经去世约20分钟了。同样是两个值得帮助的人，但是遇到的结果却完全不同，一个得到了别人舍命相救，一个去世了很久才被人发现。这些行人跟舍身救人的罗贝蒂简直是差之千里。

正是因为安利科身边有这么多善良的伙伴，他才可以明白这个世界处处充满爱。这让我觉得这本书很有意义，让我体会到什么是同学之间无法摧毁的友谊，什么是师生之间无微不至的关怀，什么是父母永无止境的爱!我相信如果有了这些品质，知道了什么是真、善、美的人，一定是世界上生活的最美好的人!

Recently, I read a great book, Childhood, which is written by Gorky. It’s a novel based on the experiences of the author’s tragic childhood, telling the stories about the author between his three to ten years old. Aliocha has a bad childhood. His father and mother die in his early ages, so that he has to live with his great-grandparents. His great-grandfather is bad tempered and his uncles hate him very much. Great-grandmother is the only person who cherished him. Besides, Aliocha also feel the pureness, friendship by his playmates. Through this book, we can see a poor, ugly society, but we also can see an adamant, compassionate little who constantly pursuits of good things in life. It’s hard to imagine how he can stick to the faith of life in such bad environment. As to us, we live in a much better environment; of course we should cherish our happiness and be strong to face difficulties in life.

篇3：《童年》英语读后感

In the sun, I read this thick, "childhood", heart suddenly a strange shame and remorse, think of themselves and the lives of a great disparity in Gorky.

Year-old death of his father, to follow the kind of grandmother came to the grandfathers home. Here, he knows many things, but also see a lot of things, he see the selfish, greedy, brutish, two uncles; simple friend "Little Gypsy"; mean, stingy, greedy, tyrannical, brutal grandfather; every day life in the cruel, stupid, infighting among family members and arguments, and from between good and evil, Alesha ignorant to understand that a number of reasons.

Compared with him together, our childhood is bright and happy; no pain and struggle, has been a carefree life. From this point on it seems we already have far cry on with Alesha, we have a lot, but we still do not know enough I just want luxury this world a better and more want.

Yes ah, we often parents do not cook, mouth open for food, only to parents for their shelter Guzhao, not herself from the "world" battles. Now we have to expect should repent, should not waste anything, and learn to cherish everything we have now will suffice.

From now on test, we must stand up and do not just want to experience difficulties with such a withdrawal, escape, or take a shortcut, should have confidence in ourselves, life always something or someone will give you pain and even despair, but we should be like what how the kind of insisted. In this way, you can again find joy in pain, in despair to find hope. Yes, dark past, the dawn will always come, as long as you still maintain the confidence that something is immortal, has all the treasure, then your light will come, because you know how to cherish.

在阳光的照耀下,我读完了这本厚厚的《童年》,心里突然有一种莫名的惭愧与懊悔,想到自己与高尔基生活得巨大悬殊.

四岁丧父,跟随慈祥的外祖母来到了外祖父的家中.在这里,他认识了许多东西,也看清了许多东西,他看清了自私自利、贪得无厌、粗野的两位舅舅;朴实的朋友“小茨冈”;吝啬、小气、贪婪、专横、残暴的外祖父;每一天都生活在残忍、愚昧、亲人之间的勾心斗角和争吵,从善良与邪恶之间,阿廖沙懵懂的明白了一些道理.

与他相比起来,我们的童年是灿烂的,幸福的;没有痛苦与斗争,一直无忧无虑地生活着.就从这一点上看来我们就与阿廖沙已经有了天壤之别,我们拥有了许多,但是我们还是不知足,只想奢求人世间更好,更多想要的东西.

是啊,我们经常对父母衣来伸手,饭来张口,只用顾着让父母为自己遮风挡雨,从不用自己独自在“人间”闯荡.现在,我们应该悔过曾经的奢望,应该不再浪费任何东西,学会珍惜现在所拥有的一切便足够了.

从现在考试,我们要自立起来,遇到困难时别只想着这样退缩,逃避或走捷径,应该对自己有信心,人生中总有事或有人会令你痛苦甚至绝望,但我们应该要像一下作者是怎么样坚持的.这样,你就可以再痛苦中寻找快乐,在绝望中寻找希望.是的,黑暗过去,黎明的曙光总会到来,只要你仍然保持对任何事物都有不灭的信心,懂得珍惜拥有的一切,那么你的光明一定会到来,因为你懂得珍惜.

"Camel xiangzi is a" peoples art "Mr Lao shes representative works.Lao shes xiangzi comes from the countryside, with the background of Chinas rural, also with the farmers is simple and gentle and stubborn.When he was the cart at a time, he became a "fans", a thought to buy their own cars.With diligence and perseverance, he spent three years time, belt.Finally realized his dream, to become own good driver.War-torn era in China, there is no any room for imagination.Less than half a year, he by deserters, also lost his "heart" - husky, only hold back three camels.Xiangzi did not lose heart, he is still stubborn to start from scratch and pulling the more desperately to make money, save money.

But didnt wait for him to buy the bus this time, all of the savings and detective is blackmail, looted.To buy a car dream once again become a mirage.He in order to buy a car, a marriage with their achievements.But not for long, their died in childbirth, and lost his favorite little son.The rickshaw man car space.Fed up with cart from then on, labor.Eventually become the citys rubbish.

After he read the book, my evaluation of xiangzi is: xiangzi is a yield to the test of life, and those who have lost their lives.As the saying goes: "the road slowly away, I will search up and down."Why he no longer looking for a new way, and become the social scum, loser?Why is he not the masters of life, to seek life?I think that he is frightened, because he is a peasant, he cant stand life again and again blow to him, he gave up.So caused the characters in the book has been the cause of the decline, the consequences!!!!!!!!!!!

《昆虫记》也叫做《昆虫物语》、《昆虫学札记》和《昆虫世界》，英文名称是《The Records about

Insects》，是法国杰出昆虫学家法布尔的传世佳作，亦是一部不朽的著作。它不仅是一部文学巨著，也是一部科学百科。

昆虫记是法布尔用尽毕生心血观察研究昆虫所写出的，其中详尽的讲述了昆虫的特征，本能、习性、劳动、婚姻、繁衍和死亡。这些朴实的文字让人如同身临其境一般，可以感受到湿润的泥土，高大的树木，广阔的天空。那些对昆虫的细节描写不得不让人佩服法布尔观察得细致入微。

“在金属笼子里，椎头螳螂的幼虫停在一个地方后姿势始终如一，毫不改变。它用四只后爪的爪尖钩住网子，后背朝下，纹丝不动，高高挂在笼顶，四个悬点承受着整个身体的重量。倒挂栖驻姿势是如此艰难，然而苍蝇的倒挂姿势却截然不同。苍蝇虽然也抓挂在天花板上，但是它总要抽出时间松弛一下，随便飞一飞，操起正常姿势走一走，肚皮贴地，肢体舒展开晒晒太阳。”在这段昆虫倒挂姿势描写中，足矣看出法布尔对昆虫细致入微的观察和对昆虫的喜爱。是想若是自己，能否对昆虫做到这般观察?

“当我面对池塘，凝视着它的时候，我可从来都不觉得厌倦。在这个绿色的小小世界里，不知道会有多少忙碌的小生命生生不息。在充满泥泞的池边，随处可见一堆堆黑色的小蝌蚪在暖和的池水中嬉戏着，追逐着;有着红色肚皮的蝾螈也把它的宽尾巴像舵一样地摇摆着，并缓缓地前进;在那芦苇草丛中，我们还可以找到一群群石蚕的幼虫，它们各自将身体隐匿在一个枯枝做的小鞘中——这个小鞘是用来作防御天敌和各种各样想不到的灾难用的。

在池塘的深处，水甲虫在活泼地跳跃着，它的前翅的尖端带着一个气泡，这个气泡是帮助它呼吸用的。它的胸下有一片胸翼，在阳光下闪闪发光，像佩带在一个威武的大将军胸前的一块闪着银光的胸甲。在水面上，我们可以看到一堆闪着亮光的“蚌蛛”在打着转，欢快地扭动着，不对，那不是“蚌蛛”，其实那是豉虫们在开舞会呢!离这儿不远的地方，有一队池鳐正在向这边游来，它们那傍击式的泳姿，就像裁缝手中的缝针那样迅速而有力。

在这个地方你还会见到水蝎，只见它交叉着两肢，在水面上悠闲地做出一副仰泳的姿势，那神态，仿佛它是天底下最伟大的游泳好手。还有那蜻蜓的幼虫，穿着沾满泥巴的外套，身体的后部有一个漏斗，每当它以极高的速度把漏斗里的水挤压出来的时候，借着水的反作用力，它的身体就会以同样的高速冲向前方。在池塘的底下，躺着许多沉静又稳重的贝壳动物。有时候，小小的田螺们会沿着池底轻轻地、缓缓地爬到岸边，小心翼翼地慢慢张开它们沉沉的盖子，眨巴着眼睛，好奇地展望这个美丽的水中乐园，同时又尽情地呼吸一些陆上空气;水蛭们伏在它们的征服物上，不停地扭动着它们的身躯，一副得意洋洋的样子;成千上万的孑孓在水中有节奏地一扭一曲，不久的将来它们会变成蚊子，成为人人喊打的坏蛋。

乍一看，这是一个停滞不动的池塘，虽然它的直径不超过几尺，可是在阳光的孕育下，它却犹如一个辽阔神秘而又丰富多彩的世界。它多能打动和引发一个孩子的好奇心啊!让我来告诉你，在我的记忆中的第一个池塘怎样深深地吸引了我，激发起我的好奇心。”…

通过看昆虫记我了解了大自然，更从字里行间看出了法布尔求真求知的态度。他总是冒着危险去捉昆虫进行观察，反复进行实验，推敲。提出问题，做出假设，收集数据，进行实验，分析…一环扣一环。即使失败也在不断改进中获得最后结论。

《昆虫记》不仅是一部科学百科，更多的是作者对于世事的思考。文中无不包含了对生命的尊重。我们要学习敬畏自然。敬畏自然就是敬畏自己。

《昆虫记》是一部较早的全面研究和介绍各种昆虫的专著， 中文版的《昆虫记》以忠实于法文原著整体风貌及表达特色为选择原则。

一个人耗费一生的光阴来观察、研究“虫子”，已经算是奇迹了;一个人一生专为“虫子”写出十卷大部头的书，更不能不说是奇迹;而这些写“虫子”的书居然一版再版，先后被翻译成50多种文字，直到百年之后还会在读书界一次又一次引起轰动，更是奇迹中的奇迹。这些奇迹的创造者就是《昆虫记》的作者法布尔。

法布尔拥有“哲学家一般的思，美术家一般的看，文学家一般的感受与抒写”。在本书中，作者将专业知识与人生感悟融于一炉，娓娓道来，在对一种种昆虫、曰常生活习性、特征的描述中体现出作者对生活世事特有的眼光。字里行间洋溢着作者本人对生命的尊重与热爱。

本书的问世被看作动物心理学的诞生。

《昆虫记》不仅是一部研究昆虫的科学巨著，同时也是一部讴歌生命的宏伟诗篇，法布尔也由此获得了“科学诗人”、“昆虫荷马”、“昆虫世界的维吉尔”等桂冠。

人类并不是一个孤立的存在，地球上的所有生命、包括“蜘蛛”“黄蜂”“蝎子”“象鼻虫”在内，都在同一个紧密联系的系统之中，昆虫也是地球生物链上不可缺少的一环，昆虫的生命也应当得到尊重。《昆虫记》的确是一个奇迹，是由人类杰出的代表法布尔与自然界众多的平凡子民――昆虫，共同谱写的一部生命的乐章，一部永远解读不尽的书。这样一个奇迹，在人类即将迈进新世纪大门、地球即将迎来生态学时代的紧要关头，也许会为我们提供更珍贵的启示。

《昆虫记》10大册，每册包含若干章，每章详细、深刻地描绘一种或几种昆虫的生活：蜘蛛、蜜蜂、螳螂、蝎子、蝉、甲虫、蟋蟀等等。向人们展示了奇妙美丽的昆虫世界。

昆虫记是法国人法布尔写成的。上面记载着栩栩如生的昆虫。有它们的景况、昆虫的进食……记录的动物是在是太多了，我数也数不清。

以前，我一直以为萤火虫是吃草的动物，可是我看了昆虫记后，我才知道，它是喜欢吃的食肉动物他有两片变成钩状的颚，十分锋利，却细的跟头发一样。我们都看不见，必须借助显微镜才能看到，弯钩上有一道细细的槽，它像人类奇妙的外科手术一样，对猎物注射麻醉药，使它失去知觉。它还有一盏灯，晚上的时候更利于捕猎。我们也可以抓萤火虫，晚上它可以当我们的小灯用。

我很喜欢昆虫，只有看了昆虫记，我才知道更多的昆虫知识。了解了萤火虫的资料，我还知道萤火虫会发光，属于自然光。这都是靠法国人法布尔告诉我们的。我可以真正了解萤火虫。

有着致命毒液的朗格多克蝎子，它的毒液战无不胜，就连好像刀枪不入似的大孔雀蝶也不是它的对手，还有一些毒液也很厉害的毒虫也不是它的对手。可想而之，朗格多克蝎子的毒液是多么毒。还有一些毒液也很厉害的毒虫也不是它的对手。但是，幼虫对它的免疫力是很高的，幼虫被刺中后并没死，它真厉害。蝎子一般擅长爬墙，以后旧屋子的缝隙中一定不能碰，说不定碰上什么有毒的害虫一类的东西呢。

当我看到朗格多克蝎子的毒液有那么强时，我真很害怕。现在我终于知道了蝎子的危险，它可真毒，居然会放毒液，毒素还那么强，蝎子也是一个害虫。他还攻击人类，它真是十恶不赦，可恶之极。长大后，我一定要了解更多的蝎子知识，让它消失。但是有的蝎子不坏，要好好保护。

法布尔很认真，让我们了解更多的知识，谢谢法布尔。

我喜欢《昆虫记》!

Despite I’ve not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince.

As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “I”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids.

On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth.

Traveling on the earth, the little prince, who sees a garden of five-thousand roses, is overcome with astonishment and sadness, as he considers his rose is unique in the universe before. At that time a fox appears. The fox, who tell the little prince about the meaning of the word “tame”, becomes his new friend. At the time to say farewell, the fox makes him know that his rose is unique because she is his rose and tamed by him. From that the little prince begins to treasure friendship and be responsible to his rose.

At the anniversary day of his descent of the earth, rejecting the pilot’s advice, he goes back to his own planet by bite of a snake. “It’s too far. I can not carry this body with me. It’s too heavy.” he said. He tells his friend, the pilot, he must be responsible for his rose, so he has to go back. At the end the author doesn’t tell us the ending directly. Maybe it’s more significant for us to imagine, and for more, think over.

One of the important characters is the rose. Growing on the planet, she is very beautiful, but her coquetry and vanity suffer the little prince a lot. In spite of they love each other, he soon becomes unhappy. On the time of his departure, he just knows she certainly loves him. The character of the little prince actually represents the children, and their native thoughts and deeds. On the contrary, the inhabitants on the other planets, such as the king, the businessman and the conceited man, they also reflect the defects in the grown-up’s world. The real theme of this fairy-tale with a little sadness, I guess, is the consequence of pure love and friendship in our lives, but not others “matters of consequence” of the grown-ups.

After reading "the ugly duckling" this article, I know the "cant judge a book by its cover," cant laugh at others.

Although some people childhood long ugly, but her good heart, wisdom, and can grow up to be a beautiful "white swan". Some people childhood long quite beautiful, like a princess, but her heart malice, love to laugh at other people, wait until a day, she will be a friend also have no, the longer the ugly, childhood "white swan" will also become "the ugly duckling".

The appearance of beauty and ugliness is only a small part of life.

I think that although this article of the ugly duckling no faith, but it is still very strong, it knows that long very ugly, it know friends dont like it, but it does not want to: "since I long that ugly, since the friends all dont like me, I live in the world still have what use!" If I were in the article the ugly duckling, those little duck, the dog and the cat to laugh at me, I will say unto them ": although I am ugly, but Im good heart, a strong, there will always be those who like me."

We want to XiangWenZhang backwater of learning, no matter what others say, you have to be strong, dont give up, we also a reason to know a mans tenth lies not in the physical appearance, beautiful truth in having a pure mind."

简单的英语读后感（一）

During this winter vacation I had the opportunity to read the book Gone with the Wind. It is a great novel written by American author Margaret Michell in the 1930s. It’s a story about southern living in the US during the Civil War. The story depicts the raise and fall of several wealthy families who owned plantations and slavers in Georgia, their love affairs and their pride as the well-to-do southerners. I especially like Scarlett O’Hara, who was a b-willed southern woman. She was brought up in a rich family who owned many slaves and a large plantation. However, as the Yankee army from the Union marching down the South, the southerners lost their cause. O’Hara’s plantation was eventually destroyed by the war. But as a b woman, she refused to go hungry. I was especially touched by the words she said in the final chapter of the book, with great hope, tomorrow is another day. 简单的英语读后感（二）

I was sure to be left deep impression by the film The Ron Clark Story. That"s just what a good teacher should be like. From it, we can get something like follows.

Everyone is born with his or her kindness. That maybe the main reason for Mr. Clark"s student"s changing their minds. Together with Mr. Clark"s creation and his encouragements to his students, he gets to be successful.

Mr. Clark knows clearly that the children are all very kind in their heart bottoms. Then he tries to use his true love and expectations for them t make them moved. We all know that one"s habits or minds are quite difficult to change. Although during it Mr. Clark also feels depressed, things get to be better after his perseverance.

Then, Mr. Clark hasn"t been limited in the traditional way of teaching. He combines the history events with rap, which was so popular in the children. And the effect is so obvious. The children can remember them easily.

Besides, the children get to be more confident because of his encouragement. Once one has been confident, his or her potential ability comes out easily. Then they are sure to do a good job. That"s just what they do in their exam.

In my point of view, Mr. Clark"s true love, perseverance, creation and encouragements bring him his success. And it seems that sure of them are true of many other thins.

I”d never given much thought to how I would die. But dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go. " When reading such moving words, I am completely absorbed in this splendid novel --- Twilight. The person who had said such moving words was a 17-year-old girl --- Bella, who was a high school student. After reading the whole novel, what impresses me most is not the mysterious vampires family, but the kindhearted and brave girl --- Bella. Bella was a 17-year-old girl who has experienced her parents” divorce. In order not to be an obstacle to her mother”s happiness with her stepfather, Bella firmly chose to move into a new city --- Forks to live with her father. Even though she knew that what was waiting for her was the new and strange circumstance, Bella still decided to face all of them fearlessly, which makes me know that Bella is a really thoughtful and considerate girl.

As a matter of fact, Bella was just an ordinary human girl who would grow old as time went by and die one day, but Edward was an immortal vampire who had an exceptional and unique strength of reading people”s minds. Actually, some people may wonder why Edward would fall in love with such a delicate human girl, while others may hold a doubtful attitude towards their love story. However, to my mind, I strongly believe that Bella and Edward can lead a happy life. About one thing I am absolutely positive, they can lead a happy life and they needs to confront with various of hardships and setbacks. But why am I so positive about their love story? Let me have an analysis!

Bella is a kindhearted and independent girl who never goes with tide. She always sticks to her own way of doing everything. On her first day to school, Edward came across with Bella, and at that moment Edward could not move his eyes on Bella at his first sight on her. I clearly know that it was Bella”s unique and special character that drew Edward”s attention. In Edward”s mind, Bella was a natural girl with a kind heart. After several days” struggle, Edward could not prevent himself from caring about her and loving her though he knew perfectly well that it would be a fateful and deadly thing for a vampire to fall in love with a human girl. From this, it can be seemed that what a charismatic and glamorous girl Bella was.

When Edward said to Bella, "I don”t have the strength to stay away from you forever." I know, Edward had already been loving Bella deeply.

When Bella answered "I”ll be with you forever, Edward." I can realize their love has already been surpassed human in human”s innermost feelings.

When Edward said, "You don”t know how long I”ve waited for you, Bella" I know, Bella is the most suitable one for him, only with Bella can Edward gains the real happiness.

When Edward swore, "You”re my life now, Bella." I think all the lovers will be overwhelmed by such impressive words at that moment, as well as I. I know, from then on, Edward would move heaven and earth to protect Bella. There is no doubt that Bella is happy when being with Edward.

To be honest, Twilight is the best romance novel that I”ve ever read. There is no much flourish in it, but there are lots of touching and thrilling plots between Edward and Bella. I still remember every time Bella was in danger, Edward could helped her out in time, which made Bella feel so grateful and become interested in him gradually.

There was a time when Bella was on her way home from a bookstore alone, suddenly a gang of ruffians molested her, Bella felt helpless and hopeless. Fortunately, Edward appeared as a hero and rescued the beauty, Bella. At that moment, I couldn”t help praising, that Edward was such a thoughtful gentleman who cares about the person he loves at any time. No wonder Bella would love him.

Then when Edward told Bella he had a super strength that he could read every person”s mind except Bella”s one. You can not imagine that, Bella”s first reaction to it was --- "Is there something wrong with me?" Hearing that, Edward smiled and said, "I tell you I can read minds, and you think there is something wrong with you." At that time, Edward knew Bella was a kind girl indeed, who would not be worried and scared when hearing such unusual truth, but just try to find the mistakes of herself.

Once Edward took Bella to his home to meet his family members, instead of being afraid, Bella asked Edward what if his families didn”t like her. Edward was so surprise to hear that and said to Bella, "you are worried not because you”ll be in a house full of vampires, but because you think they won”t approve of you? " Then, I know, Bella has never treated Edward as a different kind. May I ask, how can Edward refuse such a kind and lovely girl. When Edward took Bella to fly through the forest in his amazing speed, I think no more girls can refuse such a romantic man.

Bella pursued the true love belong to her bravely, while Edward was giving all his love to the one he loved. I know this is love.

All in all, romantic love always has a happy ending. When Bella went through life and death, when Edward experienced the cruel ordeal, seeing they were dancing romantically at last, I can say their love will be going on.

这个月，我利用课余时间看完了《昆虫记》这本书，它是法国著名昆虫学家法布尔的传世佳作。

《昆虫记》是一部很吸引人的著作。作者法布尔用了毕生的精力研究了昆虫的世界——大自然，他的这种持之以恒、坚持不懈的精神实在是让我佩服不已。

这本书所写的昆虫都让我感到十分的有趣，这都要归功于作者平时的仔细观察。比如，螳螂的大腿下面生长着两排十分锋利的锯齿状尖刺，在这两排尖利的锯齿后面，还生长着一些大牙，一共有三个。松毛虫大约在八月份的前半个月产卵，它们的卵是一个个白色的小圆柱，像小小的手电筒，大的约有一寸长，五分之一或六分之一宽，裹在一对对松针的根部。卵的颜色白里透红，看起来跟丝织品似的，而那层层叠叠的鳞片，像房顶上的瓦片一样，覆盖在筒状卵的上面。

昆虫世界非常奇妙。在我没读这本书之前，我不知道管虫会穿“衣服”，不知道松蛾虫会预测天气，也不知道小蜘蛛会用丝线飞到各个地方，是这本书告诉了我这些昆虫的秘密。有些昆虫的思维方式比人的思维方式还要高，如赤条蜂，它给卵留食物时，把毛毛虫弄得失去知觉而不能动，而不是杀死毛毛虫，这样，就可以让食物不会腐烂，一直保鲜。

《昆虫记》这本书让我感受到了大自然的奇妙。昆虫世界里还有很多不可思议的事情，就让我们在生活中去仔细观察、深入探究吧，我们也许能发现自然世界里更多的奥妙。

我很喜欢这本书——《昆虫记》，希望没看过的朋友们也看一看吧！

不同于一般的昆虫学者，法布尔是一个热爱生命和自然的昆虫学家，这也是他做为不是个标准的昆虫学者的理由。他的语言生动有趣，像是为动物专门而写的故事，真心的写出它们的故事。他说那些捕捉昆虫，研究标本的是冰冷的昆虫学家，而他只是热爱观察和喜欢昆虫。他告诉我们的不是昆虫的结构，不是昆虫的药物价值。而是昆虫的生活和行为。

在这个昆虫的世界中，他们勤劳、刻苦、勇敢、坚定，是一群优秀的昆虫。他们就像人一样的，在大地上生活，有着自己的生活习惯和规律。他们也有喜欢和讨厌的，他们是人性化的动物。

我喜欢什么昆虫呢？我不喜欢小强、西瓜虫、蚂蚁，所以我注定不能成为一个昆虫学者。他们在我的生命中并不是特别的愉快。小强好大，他就像两个硬币并排的大小，也有很小的和瓜子差不多。不过不管它大还是小，爬起来的速度却极其的快，让人望而生畏。因为小强可以爬的地方很多，8条腿的小家伙，墙上床上地上，爬上爬下。可是如果在你睡觉的地方，旁边突然出现一只小强，你会不会觉得十分的惊悚！我觉得答案必定是肯定的。

西瓜虫也十分相似，因为他喜欢湿润和阴暗的地方，搬开砖，在一个阴暗的地方就能看到他了。他趴在地上和蜗牛差不多，就是小了些，和刺猬更是相差无几，但是放在人的手背中，用手指搓它，它就变成一个球：刚刚一戳，他只是收缩自己的身子，之后便是把自己越缩越小，变成了个圆球。

法布尔的《昆虫记》让我改变了很多，就像法布尔自己说的，他希望不是那些胡说八道，但又说不出道理，而是通俗易懂的讲述道理。我变得了解昆虫和明白昆虫，虽然我和昆虫依然水火不容，但是我却感受到了他们的可爱之处。

一个大萤火虫爱吃，还爱吃肉，吃的是蜗牛，那吃的过程实在是太残忍了！他的幼体还爱美，别的昆虫都不爱穿衣服，像是蠕虫，他的幼体还非要有一层坚硬的外壳，还非常的漂亮。他还聪明，还善解人意，为了不让自己的食物痛苦，还带点添加剂——麻醉剂。是不是很贴心！而且他们的卵也是可以发光的。

法布尔说的“大萤火虫的一生自始至终是一场光明的盛宴。卵能发光，幼虫也能；成年雌萤拥有明亮而华丽的灯笼，雄萤也保留着从幼时起就有的小灯。”他的一生是美丽的，快乐的。不留遗憾！

Thoughts or reflections on reading Wuthering Heights

The book was written by Emily Bronte, it published in 1847.But at that time, it seemed to hold little promise, selling very poorly and receiving only a few mixed reviews. I found this in our school library, I chose this book because the title attracted me. The book is structured around two parallel love stories, the first half of the novel centering on the love between Catherine and Heathcliff, while the less dramatic second half features the developing love between young Catherine and Hareton. In contrast to the first, the latter tale ends happily, restoring peace and order to Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange. In the story, the two houses, Wuthering Heights and Thrushcross Grange, represent opposing worlds and values.

I spent twenty days reading this book. After reading this book, I felt for Heathcliff at first. Heathcliff begins his life as a homeless orphan on the streets of Liverpool, and then he tyrannized by Hindley Earnshaw. But he becomes a villain when he acquires power and returns to Wuthering Heights with money and the trappings of a gentleman. His malevolence proves so great and long—lasting. As he himself points out, his abuse of Isabella—his wife is purely sadistic, as he amuses himself by seeing how much abuse she can take and still come cringing back for more.

Catherine represents wild nature, in both her high, lively spirits and her occasional cruelty. She loves Heathcliff so intensely that she claims they are the same person. However, her actions are driven in part by her social ambitions, which initially are awakened during her first stay at the Lintons, and which eventually compel her to marry Edgar. Catherine is free—spirited, beautiful, spoiled, and often arrogant, she is given to fits of temper, and she is torn between her both of the men who love her. The location of her coffin symbolizes the conflict that tears apart her short life. She is buried in a corner of the Kirkyard. In contrast to Catherine, Isabella Linton—Catherine’s sister—in—law represents culture and civilization, both in her refinement and in her weakness. Ultimately, she ruins her life by falling in love with Heathcliff. He never returns her feelings and treats her as a meretool in his quest for revenge on the Linton family.

Just as Isabella Linton serves as Catherine’s foil, Edgar Linton serves as Heathcliff’s. Edgar grows into a tender, constant, but cowardly man. He is almost the ideal gentleman. However, this full assortment of gentlemanly characteristics, along with his civilized virtues, proves useless in Edgar’s clashes with his foil. He sees his wife obviously in love with another man but unable to do anything to rectify the situation. Heathcliff, who gains power over his wife, sister , and daughter.

The whole story make people’s mood heavy. Fortunately, the end is happy.

The author Emily Bronte lived an eccentric, closely guarded life. She was born in 1818, two years after Charlotte—the author of Jane Eyre and a year and a half before her sister Anne, who also became an author. Her father worked as a church rector, and her aunt, who raised the Bronte children after their mother died, was deeply religious. Emily Bronte did not take to her aunt’s Christian fervor, the character of Joseph, a caricature of an evangelical, may have been inspired by her aunt’s religiosity. The Brontes lived in Haworth, a Yorkshire village in the midst of the moors. These wild, desolate expanses—later the setting of Wuthering Heights—made up the Brontes daily environment, and Emily lived among them her entire life. She died in 1848, at the age of thirty.

I like this book because it rest on the unforgettable characters. Wuthering Heights is based partly on the Gothic tradition, a style of literature that featured supernatural encounters, crumbling ruins, moonless nights, and grotesque imagery, seeking to create effects of mystery and fear. I would like to recommend this book to other readers.
