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。

国庆节里,我读了一本叫《昆虫记》的书。《昆虫记》是昆虫学家和文学家的法布尔的传世佳作。这本书主要讲昆虫的习性、种类、劳动、婚恋、繁衍和死亡。它至今还令我记忆忧新,久久不能忘怀。其中我最喜欢的就是迷宫蛛,现在我就给你们介绍一下吧。

迷宫蛛产卵的时候,它会舍弃它那完好的网,因为它的网太容易引起寄生虫的注意,对宝宝的安全非常不利,所以只好忍痛割爱了。你看,它是一位多么细心的妈妈啊!

当我读到“迷宫蛛一般会把巢建在一个比较隐蔽的地方,把卵产在那儿。然后,就寸步不离地守候着孩子们,尽心尽力地保护它的孩子们,并一直操劳到死。在死之前,它会用剩下最后的一点儿力气替孩子们咬破巢。”我很受感动,觉得迷宫蛛真伟大!

现实生活中我的母亲也和迷宫蛛妈妈一样伟大,并且还关心我爱护我。有一次,那是在晚上,我对妈妈说我不舒服,妈妈摸了摸我的头,然后,用体温针帮我量了一下,结果发现已经烧到38度半了。妈妈二话不说背起我就往医院跑,汗水浸透了她的衣服。过了好一阵子我们才来到医院。医生为我打了针,吃了药,我就迷迷糊糊的睡着了,当我醒来的时候发现妈妈正坐在我旁边,她的两只眼睛布满血丝,看得出来妈妈整夜未睡一直在守候着我。我很感受,为有这样的妈而感到骄傲,现在我要努力学习,长大之后好好的孝敬母亲,感谢父母的养育之恩!

法布尔的《昆虫记》将我引入到了一个昆虫的世界,使我懂得了不少关于昆虫的知识。在法布尔的笔下每一只小昆虫都被它描写得栩栩如生,所以我读完这本书毫不费力气,就好像在听故事一样。我想:如果在生活中我们人类也能像一些善良的小昆虫一样相处,那这个世界一定会很和平。

《摆渡人》是刚读完的一本英国小说。

内容讲述,一个父母离异性格内向的小女孩,独自一人坐火车去见自己的父亲,火车在通过一个隧道时失事,小女孩醒来时发现自己是这场事故的唯一幸存者。她走出隧道口,和远山坡上一直望着她的小男孩一起跨越这个荒原。

事实上,小女孩是这场事故唯一的遇难者,和小男孩相遇的是她的灵魂。

小男孩就是灵魂的摆渡者,将刚刚去世的人的灵魂从荒原摆渡到另一个世界,否则逝者的灵魂将被荒原上的魔鬼吃掉从而进入地狱加入魔鬼的群体。

故事情节颇惊心动魄,在跨越荒原的日子里,小男孩一直保护小女孩两人相依为命,产生了爱情。当小女孩跨越荒原成功摆渡到另一个世界时,因留恋小男孩而找到了回到荒原的办法再次与其相见。

当然,结局也没有让读者失望,二人一起从荒原逆行回到了人间,达到了圆满。

这个故事听起来似乎和平常我们看过的穿越剧,灵异电影相似。但当你仔细品读时,字里行间透露出我们对自己人生态度的思考。

对于死亡 :

若人死了真有灵魂的摆渡者,那么死亡或许没那么可怕,只是离开了一个现实宇宙能看见的世界到达另一个颠沛流离的世界罢了,在那里有逝去的亲人,活着的人早晚有一天也会到来,死亡只是一个空间的跨越罢了。

曾经我读过一篇文章,是一个年岁很大的老者写的,他说若万事抱着一颗好奇的心去对待,或许就能消除恐惧。有人问老者害怕死亡吗?他说曾经很怕,因为他难以想象一个人走在死亡边缘那一刻什么感受。后来他不怕了,他很好奇那一刻的到来,他会是实践者,他要知道答案。

在我的读书生涯里,也有同学的父亲或母亲离世了,伤痛的他们我们无从安慰。一个人在接受亲人的离开时会有种崩溃的感觉。若他们能将亲人的离开看做是空间的跨越,或许心灵的伤痛会有所减轻。

以前在书上看到过这样一句话,我们每个人都来自墙上的一幅画中,只是从静态的平面跨越到动态的立体空间,如果有的人离开了,TA只是回到了那副画里而已。 当我看到这句话的时候,突然觉得特别轻松,因为那一刻开始我觉得世界没有可怕的事情,一切都是我们的心态所为,如果连死亡都不怕了,世界还有更可怕的事情吗?

看过一个访谈节目,专家说这世界有太多永远解不开的秘密。比如,人死了到底有没有灵魂,到底有没有另一个世界的存在,这没有人能亲自实践过再回头告诉世人答案。所以,大可像那位老者一样保持好奇心,亦或相信还有另一个世界的存在。

对于执念:

每个人都是自己心灵的摆渡人,善恶都由自己摆渡,你选择做什么性质的人,行动和意念的支配都由你。消极的情绪,萎靡的状态,自私,凶恶,冲动,没自信等等负面的标签你可以往身上贴,最后形成一个糟糕的人这也是你自己造成的。我们有权摆渡自己的心灵,完美自信,积极向上,友善,宽容,高情商做到这些并不难,关键看你对生活的态度,你执念于什么,你将得到什么。

摆渡人的方向很广,你想要将自己的心灵摆渡到哪个河岸,你要做一个什么样的人,由你决定。

Recently,I have just finished reading a famous novel written by Margaret mitchellGone with the Wind,which is one of the most popular works among American novels.It took the auther about 10 years to finish this great novel,the only novel in her life.

The story happened during the Civil War eve.Scarlett O"Hara,a 16-year-old girl,who was living in Tala manor in Georgia,was loving her neighbor Ashley Wilkes.However,after the war have broken out, Ashley Wilkes married his yonger cousin Melanie. Scarlett was so angry that she decided to marry a man she didn’t really love---- Charles Hamilton.Not long after that, Charles Hamilton joined the Army and died of illness in the war.So Scarlett had to act as a widow.Afterwards,at a donating dance party,Scarlett is acquainted with a captain named Rhett Butler. Then the flames of war approached Atlanta.Everyone was busy leaving away from the war.Scarlett managed to escape from Atlanta with the help of captain Rhett.Having come back to Tala manor,Scarlett made up her mind to rally her homeland at any cost when she saw that the former manor had been ruined.Later,her second husband died in the fight,she was a widow again.Durling that time, Rhett had been loving Scarlett sincerely and warmly.Seeing that Rhett could help her rally the manor,Scarlett married him.Although Rhett had similar characteristic attracting her,Scarlett still loved Ashley.Later,their only daughter died accidently,Rhett left Scarlett sorrowly.And then Scarlett realized that Rhett was the only one who could fall in love with her.

The novel takes the US Civil War as the background.It takes Scarlett’s individual activity as the thread.The book show us a tragic love story .A couple who could have a perfect future,but finnally go in opposite direction.As a matter of fact,their charactristics have decided their tragic result inevitably.We feel sorry about the end because we are looking forward to a perfect end,just like Scarlett and Rhett.In fact,ferfect is always a excessive damand.

I affirm Rhett.He brings excitement to Scarlett’s life and encourages her impulse to change and succeed.Like Scarlett,he goes after what he wants and refuses to take ‘no’ for an answer.He is humorous,intelligent and cynical with a hint of treason.He is really a respectable man.I think he finnally left because of love .Otherwise,he couldn’t have gone without hesitation.

Ashley Wilkes is the foil to Rhett’s dark, realistic opportunism.If there was no Civil War,he is surely a nobility of grace and charm.But history cannot be changed.He bocame a victim of the war.His era was gone with the defeat of the war.At the same time,we cannot deny the fact that he had a chear understanding about reality,which just contribute to his tragedy.

In this book,what I appreciate most is not Melanie’skindness or Rheet’s dedication and patience,but Scarlett’s courage to throw her long-standing morality and tradition whe faced with diffiiculties.At the beginning of the war,she didn’t care about this.In her world are endless dinner parties and dance parties.In her body are her father’s brave Irish blood and her mother’s noble French pure blood.She had a vast farm as her home.She had hundreds of slaves.This is Scarlett.,a member of noblity,proud and different.However,the war changed everything.Her mother died of illness.Her father become silent and the farm was nearly deserted.Even food became a big problem.All the pressure was put on Scarlett’s shoulder.She must feed a family of 9 people in it.What a big difference of level.If all this happened to someone else,he or she may choose to escape.On the contrary,Scarlett choose to face the change of life bravely.How can we not admire her courage of to change herself.Life is like a mountain.The road can’t be completely smooth.When we fall down from the peak,we may get hert ,we may get disappointed,we may feel despair.But if you want to survive,you must stand up to face it.

It is obvious that 《Gone with the wind》 is really a good book,even if a long time has passed away,it is still suitable for today’s society.It is of great importance to change ourselves,change our value even our thoughts when our life chages.

On the other hand,I think there is no real perfect in the world.Everybody has his shortcomings.It is necessary for us to learn to forgive others’ faults.If we keep good-tempered,Ibelieve there will be more comedy and less tragedy.

暑假里,老师推荐我们看的好书其中一本叫《昆虫记》。当买来这本书打开看时,一下子就把我给吸引住了,这本书里记录了生物界中各种各样、形形色色的昆虫,有萤火虫、蚂蚁、蜜蜂、和蟑螂等等,都是我平时生活中很少了解的,在这本书里写的是那么详细,让我增加了许多对昆虫的了解。比如我知道了:萤火虫有两个很有意思的特征:第一,就是它获取食物的方法;第二,就是它的尾巴上有灯。我还了解到了那么可爱的萤火虫竟然是一个肉食主义者,而且手段很毒辣,猎物是大它许多倍的蜗牛,我真是没想到一只如此娇小的萤火虫竟然那么厉害。

因为平时人们在把蜜蜂当作勤劳的楷模,形容哪个人勤快就会说像一只勤劳的小蜜蜂,所以一直对它充满了好感,在这本书里记录了很多品种的蜂,有:黄蜂、赤条蜂、泥水匠蜂、工蜂,描写得非常详细,其中让我特别佩服的是:泥水匠蜂,它造的屋子全部都是用泥土做成的,而且也没有加水泥,它们用的是从湿地上取来的潮湿的泥土。但是,那泥土很宝贵,所以,泥水匠蜂每次都会来回飞好几次,而且一次也不休息,直到做好房子才好。而且,它们做的房子不容易倒塌,很坚固。

在读完这本书之后,我才了解到昆虫界竟然有如此至多的昆虫,和它们的生活习性,这些事情都值得我们人类好好学习的,比如:泥水匠蜂造地屋子和坚持不懈的精神,蚂蚁们的团结友爱的品质,还有等等一系列的事情。其实,在人类的生活中也有许多以昆虫为启示而发明的东西,如:以蜻蜓的翅膀而发明了直升飞机,以萤火虫到人工冷光等等。可是,人类有时为了个人私利,而大量捕捉昆虫,如:蝴蝶谷的蝴蝶,因人类的捕捉而变得数量稀少,有的种类甚至灭绝,现在的蝴蝶谷已经不再那么美丽夺目,充满生机。所以,我们要保护昆虫,要知道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而不是随意的被人类捕捉,卖钱。像这本书的作者一样,去大自然中探秘,去了解动物、植物和昆虫,就会慢慢的喜欢上大自然。

著名作家海明威在《老人与海》中塑造的那位老人就是一个敢与失败作斗争的例子。

《老人与海》主要讲了一位名叫桑地亚哥的老渔翁一次特别的打鱼经过。在连续八十四天没有打到一条鱼后,但在第二天,他非常幸运地捕获到了一条巨大的大马林鱼。那条马林鱼是他平生捕到的最大的一条鱼,那条鱼比他的小船还要长2英尺呢!马林鱼的身体大,力气自然也大。它拖着老人和小船在海上漂流了两天两夜。老人在这两天两夜中经历(了)从来没有经历过的艰难考验。大马林鱼在大海上奋力挣扎,企图逃回大海。老人为了制服马林鱼,精疲力竭,皮开肉绽,但他并没有向大马林鱼屈服。他凭着顽强的意志,终于把大马林鱼扎死,拴在了船头。然而,幸运并没有出现,等待老人的是更大的考验。一群嗅着血腥味而来的大鲨鱼与已经皮开肉绽的老人展开了殊死博斗。最后老人的命虽然保住了,但鲨鱼们吃光了大马林鱼,老人拖回去的最终是一副光秃秃的骨架……

人生的道路是曲折坎坷的,遇到失败是再平常不过的事,我们应该时时刻刻拥有一颗坚强、不屈服的心来面对失败,成功就一定会向我们走来。

今天,我怀着无比激动的心情读完了法布尔写的一本著作——《昆虫记》。这本书里面写了许许多多可爱的小昆虫,法布尔把各种各样的小昆虫都描写得生机勃勃、活灵活现,这本书让我十分着迷,让我受益匪浅。

法布尔是法国一位著名的科学家、科普作家。法布尔能取得这么大的成就,是非常不容易的,是因为他从小就热爱大自然,热爱昆虫。他出生于农民家庭,从小生活就很困苦,但他依然孜孜不倦,坚持不懈地研究着昆虫。法布尔没有向任何的困难与艰辛低头,不断获得新成果。有一次,他在夜晚研究昆虫,研究着研究着,他感觉身边越来越亮,原来已经到了早上了。还有一次他也在研究昆虫,他爬在地上,许多人都围过来看,可他仍不知晓。一天傍晚,爸爸和妈妈干完活,却发现法布尔不见了,他们心急如焚,在田野里到处找,却怎么也找不到,原来他正在痴迷地观察着“纺织娘”。还有一次爸爸叫他去放鸭子,他却把鸭子放在一旁,自己在水边观察美妙的水底世界,当他正津津有味观察时,有一只闪烁着金属光泽的小甲虫从他身边飞过,他便去追小甲虫,他把这个小宝贝仔细地呵护着,他还捡了许多的小贝壳和彩色的石子,把两个衣袋塞得鼓鼓囊囊的,他回到家时,却遭到了父母的责骂,可这并没有阻

法布尔对昆虫的迷恋。法布尔是第一位研究昆虫的人,他用自己毕生的精力全部用在了研究昆虫上了,真实的写下了许多昆虫的本能和习性。如:凌晨蝉是怎么脱壳的;屎壳螂是如何滚动粪球;蚂蚁又是如何去吃蚜虫的分泌物的……就是他这种执着,写成了《昆虫记》这部著作。他受到了全世界人民的尊重。

《昆虫记》这本著作,很详细地描绘了昆虫的生活,这部书为我们作出了很大的贡献,使我们人类迅速地走进了文明时代。想想法布尔,再想想我自己,他是那么地坚持不懈,那么地孜孜不倦,而我却连做几道题都烦,我真是惭愧。从此以后,我也要学习法布尔的那种精神,在知识的海洋中到处遨游。

阳光明媚的早晨,我从床上爬下来准备到书上桌前读书,便发现有一些鸟在叽叽喳喳地叫,以为他们在嘲讽我,顿时头顶飞过一群乌鸦。我刚开始读《昆虫记》这一本书的时候,感到有点乏味。但到后来我开始很认真地去读这本书的时候,我才发现,原来这里面包含了多少关于昆虫的有趣实验!

法布尔的《昆虫记》,让我拥有无穷梦幻感,那些具体而详细的文字,不时让我联想到放大镜、潮湿、星辰、还有虫子气味的存在,仿佛置身于现场一样。因此我很乐意得到这样从未有过的感觉。这一刻,我非常想仰起我的头,像仰望星空一样,来对待昆虫们存在的奥秘。它使我第一次进入了一个生动的昆虫世界,这本书使我触动了惊天动地的好奇心。

法布尔的勇敢实验使我感到敬佩!他甚至不顾自己的生命危险,一次又一次的为人类去实验。这一次失败了,还有下次,法布尔坚持不懈的精神使我感到无比的敬佩!严谨的实验方法,大胆的质疑精神,勤勉的作风,又使我感觉到了“科学精神”及其博大精深的内涵。法布尔这种对科学的向往的精神,把我引进了科学的殿堂。我认为我们把法布尔对科学探讨的精神和向往用在学习的方面,那样我们也会因为学习中的一道道难题而去探索。留得青山在,不怕没柴烧。我一定要想法布尔一样出名!

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.

【翻译】

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。

"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。

篇14:老人与海英语读后感

Santiago, an old man about sixty years old, fished alone with nothing caught in eighty four days. No one would like to talk to him for his extremely bad luck except a boy who always came to help after the day and finally left to another boat under the pressure of his parents. Ignoring the contempt from the younger fishermen and sympathy from the older, on the morning of the 85th day, the old man started his fishing with determination and rowed his old boat very far in the sea where he believed there would be big fish. Fortunately the old man met with a big fish as he had wished and finally defeated the big Marlin with two days and nights struggle after overcoming great difficulties. But more unfortunately there were many sharks coming after his boat attracted by the smell of the blood of the big Marlin. After death-and-life struggle, when he finally got rid of the sharks coming after the boat, the big Marlin was bare skeleton.

The Old Man and the Sea tells a frustrated experience of the old man who fishes alone in the sea in plain languages. Through the simple lines, a “tough guy” image is shaped and heroism is praised. The whole story starts with a peaceful beginning which is some trivial of life and talking with the boy, and suddenly turns to its climax which is the dangerous fighting with the big fish and sharks alone in the sea, and ends with the old man’s return with the bare skeleton of the big Marlin. Though the boy only appears at the beginning and the ending in the novel, he plays an indispensible role, it is his inspiring and supporting that helps the old man to be “graceful under heavy pressure”.

In the book, the old man prepared his fishing properly and preciously than any other fishermen so that “Then when luck comes you are ready” as the old man thought to himself. In reality, some of us keep complaining that they are born in wrong time or good luck never knocks their doors. In fact, good luck sometimes just comes when they are not ready. Taking Newton for example, if he had not acquired a lot, millions of apples could never make him discovery the gravity. So if we just keep studying as much as we can, good luck will finally find us and a bright future is ahead of us. The old man never gives up hope. When all of people think he is doomed, he still strongly believes that he will get a big fish. And he does. So never giving up hope is very important to us. This reminded me of the sentence in Churchill’s speech “Never give up, never, never, never…”. “But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated” has always been inspiring me when I counter with some setbacks in my life. Setbacks are inevitable in pursuit of our goals, but we should never be frustrated and should be “graceful under heavy pressure” like the old man. It is his relentless pursuit that contributes to the victory.

放暑假了,老师推荐我们阅读的名著是《昆虫记》。听书名就知道是写昆虫的,如果感到好奇,那就不妨来仔细了解一下吧!

这本书的作者叫法布尔,他通过无数天细心的观察和研究,终于完成了这部历时50年的科学巨著——《昆虫记》

走入《昆虫记》,它向人们揭示了昆虫们的习性、生活、繁殖、斗争、死亡等生命过程。

但令我印象最深刻的却是讲萤火虫捕食的那一节。它告诉我们;从外表看,萤火虫很像纯洁而善良的昆虫。可事实上它却是一个凶猛肉食动物,它主要是捕食蜗牛等。萤火虫会先给捕食对象打上一针麻醉剂,使它们失去知觉。就像医生给病人做手术之前会先给病人打麻药一样,让病人减轻痛苦。当然最终萤火虫是会吃掉这些猎物的。

读了《昆虫记》这本书,我原以为萤火虫是吃草的,但它竟然是肉食动物,还有一些在生活中我看不起的小昆虫们,却能做出一些我想不到的事。以后我一定要多读书丰富我大脑的知识!

雾都孤儿》中主人公的英文名字为Oliver Twist,而Twist其英文意思是“扭曲,曲折,使苦恼”,这暗示着主人公Oliver的一生很坎坷,要经历很多的痛苦。在这个对社会进行抗议的情节剧式的小说中,奥利弗被当作一个主人公,其目的不是要触动我们的文学敏感性,而是要打动我们的情感。以下是小编带来的雾都孤儿英文读后感,希望对你有帮助。

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.

As was the common practice with the gods of Olympus,Zeus and Hermes were visiting the world in disguise.One day they came to a village.At a thousand house sthey knocked,and a thousand times they were refused rest and food and drink.At last they arrived at a humble cottage,where the old couple Baucis and her husband Philemon lived.Poor but at peace with world,they made the best of what life could offer them ,and felt truly grateful to the gods above.When the two travellers entered the hut,the old couple were glad with lively happiness.They offered their guests their best seat,and immediately set about preparing dinner for them.With no small difficulty they made fire,brought in a fresh cabbage,cut a fat piece of their long kept meat and put them over the fire to cook.The one single goose they were ready to kill for the visitors,but it was saved at the last minute by the guests.The dining bench was a makeshift ,poor and patched but the best they had.The table was supported by a brick.The feast was quite modest,eggs and wine and cot tage cheese,and a variety of newly pickedfruit.The old couple humbly waited on the visiting guests withsincere looks and eager goodwill.Moved at the hospitality ofthe house,the gods told their true identity.“We are gods”,saidZeus.“While the neigh bour hood pays the penalty for itswickedness you shall be free from misfortune.Coming along with us”.When they were near the top of the hill,Bancis and Phile mon looked back and saw all the village below covered by amarsh ,and that among the general ruin and destruction their old cottage alone survived,changed into a grand temple.At their request they were made the guardians of the sacred place of Zeus.When their span of worldly life came to an end they were turned into an ash and linden,standing side by side in front of the temple.
