关爱老人的英语句子（汇集20篇）

篇一：关爱老人

艳阳高照，天清气爽，又到重阳。

街头多了为老人服务的小站，报纸电台开始宣传如何敬老爱老，敬老院，颐养院趁势又多开了几家。

大多数为老人服务的小站都是真诚的，也有一部分是趁机销售一些所谓的治疗仪器。这边刚免费为老人做了简单的身体测量，那边就忙不叠拿出仪器向老人展示，施展浑身解数，巧舌如簧，誓必让老人买下不可。

一些单位在重阳那天，肯定会有行动，名为给老人送爱心，实际为单位赚名气，送些不靠谱的礼物，诸如视力保健仪之类的，老人用得上用不上可管不得了。

平时就经常有敬老院虐待老人的事情曝光，但是敬老院还是照样要开的，只是换个名字重整旗鼓而已。至于服务质量有没有改进，那就不得而知了。基于现在的社会环境，很多家庭都是一个小孩的，到我们年老的时候，由于各种原因，或孩子身处外地，，或工作关系，或自身原因，无暇照顾老人，很多人可能都有机会进老人院安度晚年，这样的状况怎么不让人为以后担忧呢?

真正关心老人，不要只在乎形式，不要在节日的时候才表达关怀，无需用金钱和物质去衡量关心的程度。身在外地的，一条短信，一通电话，只要是流露真心的问候，老人也会很高兴。经济不太好的，平时多帮老人做些家务，和老人聊聊天，也是最好的孝道。至于单位企业的节日献爱心，真正为老人们做点实事，少些沽名钓誉的虚浮吧。

篇二：关爱老人

文章中主要写了乌鸦另外还有外号，叫“孝鸟”。里面说乌鸦是很孝敬父母的，乌鸦老了，飞不动了，小乌鸦就天天飞来飞去，不怕刮风下雨，不怕大雪纷飞，总是四处寻找食物。食物找到了，自己不舍得吃，就像小时侯父母喂它一样。因为乌鸦特别讲究孝敬父母，所以古人就把它叫做“孝鸟”。

俗话说的好：百善孝为先。孝敬父母自古以来是中华民族的传统美德。在人的一生中，对自己思情最深的不会超过父母，父母给予了我们生命，辛勤地养育我们长大成人，我们的成长凝结着父母的心血，每一个人都是在父母悉心关怀、百般呵护和辛苦抚养下慢慢长大的。一个人，如果对给予自己生命的辛勤哺育自己、恩重如山的父母都不知道报答，不知孝敬，那就丧失了人生来就该有的良心，那是没有道德可言的。

然而，近年来，我们从报纸上、电视上不断看到关于父母因儿女虐待而不得不诉诸法律的新闻报道。还有“他(她)不管父母，我也有权利不管!”这些话，出于儿女之口，听了实在叫人寒!世界首富比尔 ;盖茨在接受记者采访时,曾这样说过:“天底下最不能等待的事情莫过于孝敬父母。”

还有些青年人认为，给父母亲吃的、穿的、喝的，或者每个月往家里寄几个钱就是孝敬父母了，其实，这不一定是孝敬父母。最重要的是和颜悦色，说话温和一些，脸上带着微笑。现在有些年轻父母，一抱起自己的孩子，总是眉开眼笑：“我的乖宝宝!”可是他们对待自己的父母，却是另一副面孔，甚至是厉颜厉色。一般来讲,父母对子女的要求不高，并不是非得要好吃好喝的，你把米饭、面条或者几个小菜往餐桌上一放，叫一声“爸爸妈妈，吃饭了!”父母吃起来也是很香的。相反，你把大鱼大肉、山珍海味往餐桌上一摆，一言不发，即便是再好吃的东西，父母也吃不香。

中国有一句古话：“树欲静而风不止，子欲养而亲不待。”意思是说：树想安静，可是，风总是不停地刮，它没法安静下来;儿女想孝敬父母，可是，父母快死了，等不了了。父母在时不孝敬，等他们去世了，又后悔莫及，那还有什么用呢?所以，我们现在就要孝敬父母，否则一切都要来不及的。孝敬父母从小事做起，从点点滴滴做起，从给父母端茶倒水开始吧!

老人在我们的生活中是十分的常见的,而他们基本上都是些饱受苦难的!那么,你们说,我们是该在老人这后半生为他们做些什么呢?今天,我的外婆看见我如此孝顺,心中乐开了花!

可不,在今天中午,我们正津津有味的吃完了午饭,我也就为我外婆做了两件令她开心的事!

平时,外婆每到中午这个时候都会睡上一觉,做一次香甜的美梦!今天,她又再次睡着啦!

而我也将要做两件能让外婆欣喜的事,于是,我将拖把拿到水龙头前,用清水将拖把洗的干干净净.然后,我用着力大无穷的手臂拿着它来到了客厅.心中呐喊道:”加油!相信你一定能将地拖得十分干净,使它焕然一新的!”于是,我开始有劲的拖了起来.可过不了多久,我就开始不耐烦了,东拖拖,西拖拖,一会儿歇一下,一会儿……一会儿又……!这时,姐姐走过来对我说:”你做事认真点,不要半途而废,要不然你是不会有甜果品尝的!”听完姐姐说的话,我也不知怎么的,刚才为拖地而生的疲劳,现在早已飞到了九宵云外!我再次有劲的干了起来,每个角落都扫视一变,并将它拖得干干净净,与没拖之前真是有股焕然一新的感觉!

It took me a week to read a book encouraging morale, called "the old man and the sea". I greatly admire, San Diego, the old man, if you read the story below, maybe you would like me to admire him.

Cuba, San Diego, the old man has nothing for eighty-four days, eighty-five days, with blessing and bait is stubbornly sailing out to sea again, he will go to deep to catch a big fish. This time, he met a pair of feet was eighteen feet long and is greater than he, he told the big silver fish (marlin) filled with admiration and respect, at the same time, the more aroused the determination to San Diego to challenge it. Big fish and the old man silently confrontation, sometimes take the ship to the deep sea, alternately circling boats, and want to use set off waves of the boat upset... Old man and big fish fight for two days and two nights, in the process, he constantly and fish, birds and sea dialogue, constant to or when they remember past events. With indomitable willpower and strong faith, he finally held up, conquered the behemoth. Unexpected is that the old man is going to pull the marlin back, large Numbers of sharks are attracted to over eat bundle of marlin on the boat. Although exhausted, San Diego, the old man go to great lengths to fight with sharks, but still being in that big fish shark bite only a empty frame. In the end, the San Diego old man dragged the vast empty skeleton back to the shore.

Old man of the spirit and idea of on their own, the lampholder support, he finally defeated the big fish, also defeated failure, defeated himself. We also should have this spirit in learning, such as difficulties in math, you should learn more, do not easily give up.

我花了一个星期读一本鼓舞人斗志的书，叫《老人与海》。我非常佩服圣地亚哥老人，如果你看了下面的故事，也许你会像我一样佩服他。

古巴的圣地亚哥老人已经八十四天一无所获了，第八十五天，带着祝福和鱼饵又顽强地驾船出海了：他要去深海捕一条大鱼。这一次他碰上了一条足有18英尺长，比他还大的鱼，他对这条大银鱼(马林鱼)充满了赞美和尊敬，同时这更激起了圣地亚哥向它挑战的决心。大鱼与老人默默地对峙，时而把船拖向深海，时而围着船打转，时而要用掀起的巨浪把船打翻……老人与大鱼奋战了两天两夜，在这个过程中，他不断地和鱼、鸟和大海对话，不断地想或回忆往事。凭着顽强的毅力和坚强的信念，他终于挺了过来，征服了那个庞然大物。意想不到的是，在老人将要把马林鱼拖回去的时候，大批的鲨鱼被吸引而来，争吃捆在船边上的马林鱼。已经筋疲力尽的圣地亚哥老人虽然竭尽全力与鲨鱼搏斗，但那条大鱼仍旧被成群的鲨鱼咬得只剩下一副空空的骨架。最后，圣地亚哥老人把这巨大的空骨架拖回了岸边。

老人靠自己的精神与理念，坚韧地支撑着，他最终战胜了大鱼，也战胜了失败，战胜了自己。我们在学习上也要有这种精神，如：在做数学题时遇到难题，就应该多动动脑，不要动不动就放弃。

“‘你说够了没有?还有很多作业等着我去做。’我站起来，跑过去，用力的摇着她那矮胖的身体”。我愤怒至极点。但事实上，我始终只是直挺挺的站在那，什么也没做，而那一切的一切，都仅仅完成于脑海。

卖火柴的小女孩的外婆曾告诉她，说“当一颗星星划过沉寂的夜幕时，就意味着一个生命的逝去”。

霎时，我的脑海中出现了他，出现了那样的一幕，我的脑海中充满了他的眼神。是乞求?不，不是。是祈祷?不，也不是。还是祈望?不，都不是。

我不知道那年那月那天，是的，又是一个平安夜，是否真的有星星陨落，我只知道那一刻，那双紧抓着我的干瘪的手放下了，欲言又止的嘴唇不再蠕动了，呆滞的目光消失了。他，我的爷爷，我亲爱的爷爷永远地逝去了。

不复存在的躯体与残存的记忆，剩下的是他永远眷恋的奶奶。

失去老伴，失去精神支柱的奶奶终于变的神情呆滞，每天总是神经质的絮叨。

久而久之，我无法忍受，我哭泣，我抱怨，我愤怒，因而刚才的我几乎大吼。但理智的我很快冷静下来。我似乎晓得了些什么。

是什么?具体的我自己也说不清楚。

我只是不断告诉自己，有了奶奶，才有了我，有了今天的这个我。

我只是用很标准的汉语，充满感情，但很轻的叫着“奶奶”，我试着重复着。我的心平静多了。

我坐下来，依在她身边，望着她。很久没有这么做了。在爷爷过逝后，这似乎是第一次，第一次我再靠她这么近。满头的白发，深深的皱纹，微湿的眼角和嘴角。这就是曾经随我跑东，跟我奔西，手把手教我，搀我前进，灌输我以琼浆的奶奶啊!我……

“奶奶，吃午饭了”，我叫道。她再次的无动于衷，还是“念念有词”。我轻轻地走过去，扶起她，到饭桌边坐下，给她系好饭兜。我拿起了勺子，舀了一勺和好汤的饭，怕烫，我轻轻吹了一下。一勺饭，一点菜，一口一口的，就好象她从前喂我一样。

饭后，我俯身捡起她掉下的饭粒，就像她以前弯腰一样。她是个爱干净的人，所以我倒好了水，冷热均匀后，我放下了毛巾，拿起，绞干，轻拭她的脸庞。我这一系列的动作，对我来说是那么的熟悉，似曾相识。

老人是需要午休的，以前奶奶就有这习惯，相信现在的她同样的需要。我搀她到床边，解掉扣子，除去外套，鞋子，裤子。三月的江南，还是有那么一点冷的，不过我泡了热的水袋，这对老人很实用，至少我这么认为。我问道“暖和吗”?她依旧没有回答。我给她塞好被子，我想这样她会更暖和的。我开始哼歌。奶奶睡着了，真的很像个超龄婴儿。这回她一定睡的很香，因为我第一次再听到她的鼾声，尽管很轻。我想这不应仅仅是摇篮曲的作用吧。

近两个小时后，她醒了。我帮她穿好衣服。

该吃药了，是我所讨厌的中药，闻着都有苦的感觉。不过我准备了加杏子。这次她没有再皱眉。

喝完药，我带她出去散步。我已记不清最近的一次是何时。

“看，好美的夕阳!”我叹到。它即将消失，却依旧好美，它以漫天的红色宣誓着它的伟大，因为它牺牲自己，托起明天的朝阳。

不只为什么，顿时，我回头。我看到奶奶正看着我，露着欣然的笑。这也是第一次，第一次再见奶奶的笑。

刹那间，我明白了，爷爷的眼神，是信任，是看到了希望，他坚信，我们会好好照顾奶奶。

“奶奶”我终于大声叫了出来。我好想奔过去，抱着奶奶，说“我不知到明天，甚至是下一分钟，下一秒会发生什么，我不知道，但你是我最亲，最爱的奶奶，永远，永远。我会永远对你好，从点点滴滴。”但我的视线早已模糊。

我记得有这样一句话，不知出自哪位哲人之口。“你的上半世我无法参与，你的下半世我奉陪到底。”

朋友们，珍惜这可能是刚刚开始又可能是稍纵即逝的爱与被爱的权利，履行自己的义务，从关爱老人开始。

广大市民朋友、志愿者朋友们：

“老吾老以及人之老”，尊老、爱老、助老，自古以来就是中华民族的传统美德。随着社会经济的不断发展，以及人口老龄化的不断加快，我国出现了一个特殊的群体——“空巢独居老人”。“空巢老人”是指无子女或子女都在外地无人照顾的高龄老人(原则75周岁以上)。“独居老人”是指丧偶的“空巢老人”。这些老人或经济困难，或心理寂寞，亟需来自社会的关心关爱。为此，市精神文明建设委员会办公室、共青团某市委、市志愿者协会决定在全市倡导开展“邻里互助 情暖某”空巢独居老人关爱(暖巢)行动，在此我们特向广大市民、志愿者朋友们发出以下倡议：

一、传承敬老美德，培育爱老氛围。俗话说“家有一老，如有一宝”，老人不仅仅是一个家庭的“宝”，更是整个社会的财富。关爱“空巢老人”是建设和-谐社会的必然要求，更是科学发展、以人为本的具体体现。因此，广大市民、志愿者朋友们要从我做起、从小事做起、从身边事做起，尽自己最大的努力，共同营造全社会都来尊重和关爱“空巢独居老人”的和-谐社会氛围。

二、弘扬志愿精神，开展组团服务。倡导广大爱心市民、志愿者朋友们积极关心身边的空巢独居老人，在春节、端午、中秋、重阳等传统节日看望慰问空巢独居老人，陪他们“唠唠嗑”，为他们“读读报”“跑跑腿”。各志愿服务团队要积极合作，定期轮流到社区开展针对“空巢独居老人”的志愿服务，由“单兵作战”变为“组团作战”，尽团队力量，齐力为满足“空巢独居老人”各类正当需求提供帮助。

三、开展结对帮扶，倡导“邻里互助”。倡导广大爱心市民、志愿者朋友们以结对帮扶活动为载体，以个人或志愿服务团队形式结对空巢独居老人，定期上门走访，主动关心，保持联系，积极投身到“邻里互助”的社区志愿服务工作中去。广泛开展生活照料、心理慰藉、医疗保健、法律援助、消防隐患排除、反诈骗宣传、电器维修、理发修甲等志愿服务，为有困难的空巢独居老人办力所能及的实事，让空巢独居老人真正享受到社会发展的成果，感受到某大家庭的温暖。

一花独放不是春，万紫千红春满园，关爱空巢老人不是少数人、几个团队的事，更需要全社会的参与。广大市民朋友、志愿者朋友们，让我们一起携起手来，为“空巢独居老人”献出一份爱心，慰藉他们孤独的晚年生活!

秋高气爽，丹桂飘香，在这美好的季节，我们迎来了传统的敬老节日——重阳节。

重阳节，即每年的九月初九，在我国古代“九”包蕴着长久，吉利，把重阳节定为老人节，意味着祝福老人生命长久，健康长寿。在久久重阳节这一天，回忆一下，我们有哪些记忆难忘，有哪些关心老人的具体行动。

首先我想到22岁的广州赴美留学生彭斯，听闻母亲患重型肝炎晚期需进行肝移植，毅然放下学业从美国回到广州，割下60％的肝脏移植给母亲。其孝心感动社会各界。彭斯“割肝救母”其情感天动地，其行令人动容，。百善孝为先，孝是做人的基本道德，是我国的传统美德，父母几十年如一日，无怨无悔的为孩子付出而不求回报，从我们出生开始，喂奶换尿布，生病时不眠不休的照料，教我们生活的基本能力，供给我们读书上学，教我们学习和做人的基本道理，关心和行动永远都没有停歇。作为人子，我们长大了，对父母却没有那样的爱，或许忙于工作，或许忙于生计，我们总有许多的理由……

“子欲养而亲不在”现实生活中确实有许多人有这样的遗憾，有人因老人在的时候没有嘘寒问暖而遗憾，有人因老人病的时候没有床前伺候而遗憾，更有人为自己少不懂事不知道及时尽孝而遗憾，但是，彭斯不会遗憾，因为他为父母作出了许多人都无法作出的行动，秋天的收获是对春天播种的感恩，落叶不肯离去是对树根的感恩，从彭斯身上我们感悟到爱的真谛，让我们从点滴小事做起，尊重老人，及时尽孝，在老人需要时奉献一颗火热的心。尽孝并非都要像彭斯那样做出惊天动地的壮举，尽孝可以有多种表达方式，可以是节假日打给父母的电话，可以是天气变化时的一句叮咛，可以是闲暇时给父母打扫房屋，可以是给父母做上的一顿可口饭菜，可以是给父母的一杯热茶，一次温情的泡脚……其实父母要求我们的并不多，只要我们在物质上尽可能为父母提供好的条件，精神上给父母慰藉就可以了。

想起我的爸爸经常说的一句话“人的一生总要经历少年，青年，壮年和老年，我们也有老的时候”老吾老及人之老，我们不仅关心自己的老人，更应该关心，尊重，善待社会上每一个老年人，我们应该感谢有这样一个老人节，让我们有时间和机会孝敬老人，感受亲情，感受生活的温馨。关爱老人，善待老人，是一种传统的美德，也是一种幸福的拥有，让孝心代代相传，生生不息，让白发苍苍的生命，在这充满菊香的秋天开心，满足，快乐。愿我们的明天会更美好，更有希望。

一抹殷红的夕阳照在公园的长椅上，我惬意地喝着饮料，欣赏这美丽的夕阳。

在我的旁边，坐着一位满头银发的老人，他静静地坐着，时不时偏过头来看我一眼。我好奇地打量着这位骨瘦如柴的老人：夕阳照在他饱经风霜的脸上，满是皱纹，刻画出岁月的艰辛和沧桑；两只眼睛深深的陷下去。老人的脸在这时转过来，正好和我的眼对上，发觉我正在大量他，连忙把头压得低低的，一双粗糙的手不安地在腿上挪动。咦？好奇怪，他为什么那么慌张呢？我心里想道。可能是因为我一直盯着他，他不好意思吧。我把目光收回来，喝了一口饮料，继续欣赏夕阳。

夜幕像渔网，慢慢的从天上漫撒下来。天色不早了，我在这里坐着快半个小时了，该回家了。我三两下把饮料喝完，拍拍灰尘，准备回家。“等，等等……不好意思，那个，你，你能把饮料瓶，给，给我吗……”老人忽然叫住了我，结结巴巴地对我说。我听了，一时竟愣住了，这位老人在我旁边坐着，等了近半个小时，居然只是为了我手上的塑料瓶！我的脸因为愧疚变得通红。我快速地将手上的塑料瓶递给了他，飞快地溜走了。

想起那个老人，我的心里总是会有一些起伏。是啊，现在的社会上，“空巢”老人越来越多，他们并不是无儿女，只是他们的孩子都很少来看他们。他们十分孤单，需要人陪伴。让我们一起关爱老人，献出自己的爱心吧！

老人，为社会奉献，为家庭奉献，是知识的宝库，是智慧的钥匙，不仅养育我们，还以言传和身教向我们传播做人的道理‘

虽然我们有时候感觉老人家们知识陈旧、思维方式过于正统古板，但是，老人依然是我们心灵的最后的最坚定的依托，我们在现实中碰壁之后，返璞归真，依然会感受到老人家们传承的是至理名言，依然会感受到属于我们民族的内蕴的品质和理念是不能放弃的。

他们在许多人的眼里已经不再重要，甚至成为了负担。在他们眼里老人是曾经盛开的花朵，现在已经凋零，曾经茂盛的大树，现在已经落叶。可老人是不会凋零，不会落叶的!他们虽然老了，却还为社会做着无私的贡献。

在我们小区就有很多老人在节假日的时候显得很孤独，他们或许都是子孙满堂，但是他们的子女却都因为生意忘了回家陪陪老人。我觉得我们应该有时间多带老人去公园散散步，多陪他们聊聊天，使他们感觉到温暖，让老人们不会感觉到寂寞。用感恩的真情，温馨的话语、宽广的胸怀，平凡的举动，无私的付出、真诚的服务，呵护每一位空巢老人，营造尊老、爱老、助老的良好风气。

温暖老人，奉献一片爱心。关爱老人，让我们从自身做起，从小事做起，从生活细节做起。一杯茶、一碗饭，点点滴滴见真情;一件衣、一床被，丝丝缕缕连爱心;一个电话、一封家信，字字句句显孝心。让我们“常怀尊老之情，常扬敬老之意，常兴敬老之风，常尽为老之责，常办利老之事”，努力实现老有所养、老有所助、老有所乐、老有所为。

“老吾老，以及人之老;幼吾幼，以及人之幼。”这句由孟子说的古话就告诉我们在孝敬自己的长辈时不应忘记其他与自己没有亲缘关系的老人。

The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingways most enduring works and may very well become one of the true classics of this generation. It played a great part in his winning the Pulizer Prize in 1953 and the 1954 Novel Prize for Literature and confirmed his power and presence in the literary world. Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.

I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.

On summer vacation of this year, I studied in novel " old man and sea " of Hemingway , famous writer of U.S.A. ,. I admire the old fishermans will in the novel very much, he lets me understand that a person must have unremitting spirit, could succeed . What the novel is described is an old fisherman almost the sixty years old, when go to sea and fish alone once, have angled to a big fish, but can not draw. After tough fisherman and fish have socialized for a few days, just find this is a big Malins fish which exceeds several times of ones own fishing boat, though know perfectly well that it is very difficult to win , does not give up yet. Because big Malin fish fishlike smell of wound attract odd herds of shark vie for the food again later, but the old man is still unwilling to give up like this, stress the tight encirclement finally , take the large fish back to fishing port , let other fishmen admire it endlessly. The old fisherman thinks that as I read ": It is really too close from here to coast, perhaps there are bigger fish in the farther place ……" When,admire very much because this old fisherman in the persons, because play not for some fishing he already at this moment I, but he is not satisfied with the existing state of affairs , but advance towards greater goal. Seeing us again, meet some little difficulties at ordinary times , all of us complain bitterly. We are the future of the motherland, should be as ambitious as this old man, go to pursue well , greater goal. Read as me " big Malin fish is it enclose light fishing boat move about , is it get mast to twine cable fast to begin, old man right hand hold steel fork high , jump out in a flash , affording to try ones best above water in it, a sound of wail has finished the life of the loud fish, it floats on the surface of water silently ……"When,the I one heart is too fall like pieces of stone not big. I admire that kind of fearing of the old man at all , unremitting spirit very much, though know rivals strength is very strong , but he has not shrunk back at all , meets the difficulty. Just because there is this kind of spirit, the old fisherman has obtained the victory of the trial of strength of this life and death. We should study the old fishermans spirit too in life, do the thing and is not afraid of the difficulty , could achieve success . Read big blood offensive smell of fish smell one shark , fall over each other to visit to vie for the food, left hand of old man pull a muscle just, he can only use right hand, can weapon attacked to used for defend oneself with stick , mouth of swordfish that catch everything, and has driven away this herd of shark finally. But big meat of fish take into big half already, but old man criticize ones own left hand " when the work this when have a rest " humorously also, I am subdued by old mans optimistic spirit too. In life, some losses are unavoidable, we should treat the optimistic attitude , cant worry about petty gain or loss . Finally, the novel sees with a teenager that old fisherman has 18 feet of big long Malins fish totally in the tolerance , the ones that have described this fish are enormous again, prove that old fishermans difficulty overcome is big, than ordinary. Old fishermans spirit that makes great efforts to struggle fearless of danger and difficulty that the novel has been extolled, we should be like him too, can t be satisfied with the current situation , should be positive upwards, it should be unremitting to do anything, it must not give up halfway to meeting difficulty should meet the difficulty. Only in this way, we could obtain greater success and victory .

今天我和妈妈一起去看望我们村的一个孤寡老人，这个老人一直是一个人生活，听老人讲她也有儿子，可是这么多年也没来看她，所以村里人也把她列入了五保户。

刚一进门，老奶奶驻着拐杖颤抖着走出来，一看到我们，干枯的脸上露出了笑容，忙招呼我们坐，我赶紧扶老奶奶坐下，“奶奶，您坐”，奶奶握着我的手，我感觉她的双手很苍老但很有力，嘴里喃喃的说着“都这么大了，都这么大了”，妈妈拿出了三百块钱还有几箱牛奶送给奶奶，奶奶推辞着“孩子，你们来看我就行了，别带东西来，我过意不去”，“这是一点小礼物，您收下”，我看到奶奶布满皱纹的双眼噙满了泪花，激动的说不出话来，我赶忙把东西放到房间里。

出来的时候，我问妈妈为什么，每年都来看奶奶，妈妈微微一笑，“我们的国家传统美德就是尊老爱幼，我们有能力一定要做到”，是啊，看着妈妈我心里暗暗在想“我将来一定孝敬我的妈妈。”

When I was a middle school student, I’ve finished this book in Chinese.But when I read it in English,I really gain something new both in the way of expression and the spirit it shows to us.May be different ages to read the same book we will learn different things from it.At least, for my part, that is true.

Firstly,I would like to review some information about this book.Such as the background,major characters and the topic of it.

The Old Man and the Sea is a story by Ernest Hemingway, written in Cuba in 1951 and published in 1952. It was the last major work of fiction to be produced by Hemingway and published in his lifetime. One of his most famous works, it centers upon Santiago, an aging Cuban fisherman who struggles with a giant marlin far out in the Gulf Stream.

The Old Man and the Sea served to reinvigorate Hemingways literary reputation and prompted a reexamination of his entire body of work. The novella was initially received with much popularity; it restored many readers confidence in Hemingways capability as an author. Its publisher, Scribners, on an early dust jacket, called the novella a "new classic," and many critics favorably compared it with such works as William Faulkners "The Bear" and Herman Melvilles Moby-Dick.

This book gives me a deep impression especially the description about the man’s braveness and persistence.

In this book, in order to suggest the profundity of the old man’s sacrifice and the glory that derives from it, Hemingway purposefully likens Santiago to Christ, who, according to Christian theology, gave his life for the greater glory of humankind. Crucifixion imagery is the most noticeable way in which Hemingway creates the symbolic parallel between Santiago and Christ. When Santiago’s palms are first cut by his fishing line, the reader cannot help but think of Christ suffering his stigmata. Later, when the sharks arrive, Hemingway portrays the old man as a crucified martyr, saying that he makes a noise similar to that of a man having nails driven through his hands. Furthermore, the image of the old man struggling up the hill with his mast across his shoulders recalls Christ’s march toward Calvary. Even the position in which Santiago collapses on his bed—face down with his arms out straight and the palms of his hands up—brings to mind the image of Christ suffering on the cross. Hemingway employs these images in the final pages of the novella in order to link Santiago to Christ, who exemplified transcendence by turning loss into gain, defeat into triumph, and even death into renewed life.

The major characters in this book are also vivid and lively.

Santiago?,the old man of the novella’s title, Santiago is a Cuban fisherman who has had an extended run of bad luck. Despite his expertise, he has been unable to catch a fish for eighty-four days. He is humble, yet exhibits a justified pride in his abilities. His knowledge of the sea and its creatures, and of his craft, is unparalleled and helps him preserve a sense of hope regardless of circumstance.

The marlin?,Santiago hooks the marlin, which we learn at the end of the novella measures eighteen feet, on the first afternoon of his fishing expedition. Manolin?,a boy presumably in his adolescence, Manolin is Santiago’s apprentice and devoted attendant. The old man first took him out on a boat when he was merely five years old. Due to Santiago’s recent bad luck, Manolin’s parents have forced the boy to go out on a different fishing boat. Manolin, however, still cares deeply for the old man, to whom he continues to look as a mentor.

Joe DiMaggio, although DiMaggio never appears in the novel, he plays a significant role nonetheless. Santiago worships him as a model of strength and commitment, and his thoughts turn toward DiMaggio whenever he needs to reassure himself of his own strength. Perico ?,Perico, the reader assumes, owns the bodega in Santiago’s village. He never appears in the novel, but he serves an important role in the fisherman’s life by providing him with newspapers that report the baseball scores. This act establishes him as a kind man who helps the aging Santiago.

Martin,like Perico, Martin, a café owner in Santiago’s village, does not appear in the story. The reader learns of him through Manolin, who often goes to Martin for Santiago’s supper. As the old man says, Martin is a man of frequent kindness who deserves to be repaid.

From the very first paragraph, Santiago is characterized as someone struggling against defeat. He has gone eighty-four days without catching a fish—he will soon pass his own record of eighty-seven days. Almost as a reminder of Santiago’s struggle, the sail of his skiff resembles “the flag of permanent defeat.” But the old man refuses defeat at every turn: he resolves to sail out beyond the other fishermen to where the biggest fish promise to be. He lands the marlin, tying his record of eighty-seven days after a brutal three-day fight, and he continues to ward off sharks from stealing his prey, even though he knows the battle is useless.

Because Santiago is pitted against the creatures of the sea, some readers choose to view the tale as a chronicle of man’s battle against the natural world, but the novella is, more accurately, the story of man’s place within nature. Both Santiago and the marlin display qualities of pride, honor, and bravery, and both are subject to the same eternal law: they must kill or be killed. As Santiago reflects when he watches the weary warbler fly toward shore, where it will inevitably meet the hawk, the world is filled with predators, and no living thing can escape the inevitable struggle that will lead to its death. Santiago lives according to his own observation: “man is not made for defeat . . . [a] man can be destroyed but not defeated.” In Hemingway’s portrait of the world, death is inevitable, but the best men (and animals) will nonetheless refuse to give in to its power. Accordingly, man and fish will struggle to the death, just as hungry sharks will lay waste to an old man’s trophy catch.

The novel suggests that it is possible to transcend this natural law. In fact, the very inevitability of destruction creates the terms that allow a worthy man or beast to transcend it. It is precisely through the effort to battle the inevitable that a man can prove himself. Indeed, a man can prove this determination over and over through the worthiness of the opponents he chooses to face. Santiago finds the marlin worthy of a fight, just as he once found “the great negro of Cienfuegos” worthy. HSantiago, though destroyed at the end of the novella, is never defeated. Instead, he emerges as a hero. Santiago’s struggle does not enable him to change man’s place in the world. Rather, it enables him to meet his most dignified destiny.

While it is certainly true that Santiago’s eighty-four-day run of bad luck is an affront to his pride as a masterful fisherman, and that his attempt to bear out his skills by sailing far into the gulf waters leads to disaster, Hemingway does not condemn his protagonist for being full of pride. On the contrary, Santiago stands as proof that pride motivates men to greatness. Because the old man acknowledges that he killed the mighty marlin largely out of pride, and because his capture of the marlin leads in turn to his heroic transcendence of defeat, pride becomes the source of Santiago’s greatest strength. Without a ferocious sense of pride, that battle would never have been fought, or more likely, it would have been abandoned before the end.

Santiago’s pride also motivates his desire to transcend the destructive forces of nature. Throughout the novel, no matter how baleful his circumstances become, the old man exhibits an unflagging determination to catch the marlin and bring it to shore. When the first shark arrives, Santiago’s resolve is mentioned twice in the space of just a few paragraphs. Even if the old man had returned with the marlin intact, his moment of glory, like the marlin’s meat, would have been short-lived. The glory and honor Santiago accrues comes not from his battle itself but from his pride and determination to fight.

Santiago dreams his pleasant dream of the lions at play on the beaches of Africa three times. The first time is the night before he departs on his three-day fishing expedition, the second occurs when he sleeps on the boat for a few hours in the middle of his struggle with the marlin, and the third takes place at the very end of the book. In fact, the sober promise of the triumph and regeneration with which the novella closes is supported by the final image of the lions. Because Santiago associates the lions with his youth, the dream suggests the circular nature of life. Additionally, because Santiago imagines the lions, fierce predators, playing, his dream suggests a harmony between the opposing forces—life and death, love and hate, destruction and regeneration—of nature.

This book gives me courage of conquering all kinds of difficulties .And I have the belief that the most beautiful thing is the process that we make our best to achieve our dream,and never say give up .
