“一艘船越过世界的尽头，驶向未知的大海，船头上悬挂着一面虽然饱经风雨剥蚀却依旧艳丽无比的旗帜，旗帜上，舞动着云龙一般的四个字闪闪发光——超越极限!”作者海明威是这样评价他的作品《老人与海》的。

《老人与海》塑造了一个经典的硬汉形象。古巴的一个名叫桑地亚哥的老渔夫，独自一个人出海打鱼，在一无所获的48天之后钓到了一条无比巨大的马林鱼。这是老人从来没见过也没听说过的比他的船还长两英尺的一条大鱼。鱼大劲也大，拖着小船漂流了整整两天两夜，老人在这两天两夜中经历了从未经受的艰难考验，终于把大鱼刺死，拴在船头。然而这时却遇上了鲨鱼，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，结果大马林鱼还是被鲨鱼吃光了，老人最后拖回家的只剩下一副光秃秃的鱼骨架。

海明威为什么没有让老人最终胜利呢? 用小说中老人的话来说：“一个人并不是生来就要被打败的”，“人尽可以被毁灭，但却不能被打败。”这就是《老人与海》想揭示的哲理。不可否认，只要是人就都会有缺陷。当一个人承认了这个缺陷并努力去战胜它而不是去屈从它的时候，无论最后是捕到一条完整的马林鱼还是一副空骨架，这都已经无所谓了，因为一个人的生命价值已在那追捕马林鱼的过程中充分地体现了。曾经为自己的理想努力追求过、奋斗过，难道他不是一个胜利者吗?老渔夫就是敢于挑战自身缺陷及自己勇气和信心的胜利者。从世俗胜利观的角度看，老渔夫不是最后的胜利者，因为尽管开始他战胜了大马林鱼，但是最终大马林鱼还是让鲨鱼吃了，他只是带着大马林鱼的白骨架子回到了岸上，也就是说，鲨鱼才是胜利者。可是，在理想主义者眼里，老渔夫就是胜利者，因为他始终没有向大海没有向大马林鱼更没有向鲨鱼妥协和投降。就如音乐大师贝多芬所说“我可以被摧毁，但我不能被征服”。

人性是强悍的，人类本身有自己的限度，但正是因为有了老渔夫这样的人一次又一次地向限度挑战，超越它们，这个限度才一次次扩大，一次次把更大的挑战摆在了人类面前。在这个意义上，老渔夫桑地亚哥这样的英雄，不管他们挑战限度是成功还是失败，都是值得我们永远敬重的。 因为，他带给我们的是人类最为高贵的自信!

人生本来就是一种无止境的追求。它的道路漫长、艰难，而且充满坎坷，但只要自己勇敢顽强地以一颗自信的心去迎接挑战，他将永远是一个真正的胜利者!

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" .

Book Review: “Camille”

I read the Chinese version of “Camille” a few years ago. At that time I was deeply moved by the main character Marguerite Gautier. “Camille” or “The Lady of the Camellias” by Alexandre Dumas, fils, is the story of Marguerite Gautier, a young courtesan, or kept woman, in Paris in the mid 1800s, and how she falls in love with a young man, Armand Duval, and then tries to escape from her questionable past. Unfortunately, it comes back to haunt her and she ends up returning to that life and dies painfully and alone, but with the knowledge that she was a noble woman at heart. When I first began to read the book, I did not care for Marguerite or her attitude or lifestyle, but as I got further into the narrative, I realized that her saucy attitude was a front to cover the lonely woman that she really was. She felt used, abused and unloved, until the gentle Armand Duval came into her life and showed her that he loved her as a person and not for what she could do for him. It must have taken great courage for Marguerite to leave the life she had lived for so long, knowing all along that it was probably too good to be true and would not last indefinitely. And it also showed that Marguerite really loved Armand Duval for she could even change herself for him.

However, happiness didn’t last for long. When M. Duval, Armands father, came to her, pleading for her to leave Armand to save both Armands reputation and that of his younger innocent sister, Marguerite saw a way to become pure of heart, if not in body. She felt that it was her duty, because she loved Armand so much, to do this even though it meant giving up her own happiness and hurting Armand temporarily. She reluctantly returned to her former life, knowing that some day Armand would forgive her. Sadly, she died in debt and basically alone, except for her one female friend, Julie Duprat, who helped her during her illness. She had her journal sent to Armand after her death, explaining why she had made the choices she had. I think Dumass last few lines about Marguerite being the exception, not the rule were quite true, and I also agreed with his view that while her lifestyle could not be condoned, we as a society assume that all of these type of women are cold and heartless, while this may not always be the case. A person can make the wrong choices in life when they are young, and try to redeem themselves, but sometimes past situations prevent them from changing their lives, even though they desperately wish to do so. This applies to both men and women in many different types of circumstances: involvement in crime; drug or alcohol abuse; gambling; prostitution; financial problems; poor marriage choices; etc. And this is the fact, which exists in the whole society.

As far as the other characters in the book, I think Marguerite was right in saying that no one truly cared about her, but only wanted something from her, the only exceptions being Armand and Julie Duprat. Of course, the Comte de G. and Comte de N. wanted her body and appearance. The Duke needed to “wake up and smell the coffee” and realize that she could never replace his dead daughter. If he truly cared, he could have helped her leave her lifestyle without “keeping” her himself. And lastly, Prudence was a blood-sucking leech who used Marguerite almost worse than the men. I also think she was jealous of the fact that Marguerite had so much more courage than herself and someone truly loved her.

Last morning, when tiding my bookshelf, I took this book out of the shelf, and a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. a dried flower flew away from the book. It was pale blue, very transparent, with thin fine veins. I held it against the morning light and blew on it. The soft breeze carried it away. Camille is just like the camellia, she could never escape from the destiny of withering. But it wasn’t her fault; it’s because of the evil of Capitalism and the hideousness of that society.

Suddenly, I remembered a saying: “Women are like the flowers”. Those pretty women are like those beautiful flowers; their delicate beauty makes people feel they are the miracle of life. However, even the God envies their beauty. It seems that beautiful women always have tragic endings. As we are normal persons, even we can see the hideousness of humanity that results in their fate of withering, we can at most ask quietly in our hearts: Where have those beautiful flowers gone? Where have they gone?

This year summer vacation, I read the American well-known writer Hemingways novel “ old person and sea ”。 I extremely admire in the novel the senior fishermans will, he let me understand one person certainly must have relentless spirit, only then could obtain successfully.

The novel description is one year near sixty years of age senior fisherman, when alone goes to sea in one fishing, fished one big fish, actually did not pull. The senior fisherman socialized several days after the fish, only then discovered this was the big marlin which one surpassed the oneself fishing boat several fold, although knew perfectly well very difficult to win, but still did not give up. Afterwards and further because in the big marlin wound fish fishy smell brought in several crowds of shark fish snatches the food, but the old person still did not hope like this to give up, finally highlighted encircles tightly, returned to the big fish belt the fishing port, lets other fishermen not admire already.

When I read “ the senior fisherman think: Here to the seacoast really was too near, perhaps could have a bigger fish in a farther place… ” When, I extremely admire this senior fisherman, because he by now already projected on some fish, but he had not settled to the present situation, but was approaches the bigger goal advance. Again has a look us, usually meets one slightly is difficult, we all complain incessantly. We will be the motherland future, will be supposed to like this old person same mind lofty aspiration, will even better pursue even better, the bigger goal.

When I read “ the big marlin start fast to gather round the young fishing boat hover, twined the cable on the mast, the old person right hand lifted up high the steel fork, leapt the water surface in it the flash, did utmost throws to its heart, one wail ended the big fishs life, it was static static floats on the water surface… ” When, my heart also liked together the big stone falls. I extremely admire old person that kind do not dread, the relentless spirit, although knows the match strength is very strong, but he not slightly flinches, but is welcomes difficultly above. Just because had this kind of spirit, the senior fisherman only then achieved this life and death contest success. We also must study senior fishermans spirit in life, handles the matter does not fear the difficulty, only then can obtain successfully.

the novel describes is nearly 60 year, when the fisherman fishing, senior alone in a big fish, actually not pull. senior fisherman socialization, after a fish that this is a big marlin, beyond your fishing several folding, though clearly hard to win, but dont give up. later in the big marlin wound bring some of the fish suspicious of sharks smell groups, but the old man still snatch food hope not give up, and finally emphasizes surround close, returned to the big fish, let the other fisherman fishing is admired.

when i read the "senior fisherman thought: heres coast is really too close, maybe there will be a bigger fish in further..." i appreciate this senior fishermen, because now he has cast in some fish, but he still was not solved, the present situation, but very close to goals. look, we often encounter a slightly is difficult, we are complaining nonstop. in the future, we will be the motherland, so it should be the old ideas, will be more lofty aspiration, for a better, more goals.

when i read "the big marlin began to rapidly around the young fishing boats, cable suspension of mast twisting, old man exalted to the right hand of gangcha, leapt high flash, and the maximum throw it to heart, wail over fish, it is the life of the static static float on water......" i also like the stone falls in together. i appreciate the old man do not fear, unremitting spirit power, although know this game is very strong, but he isnt popular flinches slightly, but more intractable. just because of this spirit, to finish the senior fishermen life and death of the competition. we must also learn advanced fishermans spiritual life, do not fear the difficulty, the only thing that can succeed.

reading the big fish smells blood is the crowd, sharks swam grab food, the old man left, he can just twitching, with a stick with your right hand, mouth are permitted use of weapons to attack and defend the expelled the sharks. but the big fish eat meat has a most, but also his left hand charmingly criticized the work time is actually "time, i also subject to old optimism. in our life, some losses are inevitable, we should take an optimistic attitude toward to compute.

finally, through a youth novel looked for 18 feet of senior fishermen, describe the marlins up the fish hugeness, explained the senior fisherman is not difficult, more common.

the novel extol spirit senior fisherman fear hard and dangerous to fight, we will not like him, who cant satisfy the present situation, should actively, do anything is relentless, difficulty, may be welcome difficult never stop halfway. only in this way can we achieve greater success and victory.

信念是生命的源泉，它让小草破土而出，迎接生命的第一缕阳光；它让平凡的蚕蛹挣脱茧的束缚，开始第一次飞翔；它让生命短暂的夏蝉唱响整个夏天；它让坚强的人们战胜巨大的困难。

最近我读了《老人与海》，书中的老人让我非常感动和佩服。他是个渔夫，孑然一身，驾着小船。在墨西哥湾流中钓鱼，连续84天一无所获。我们可以想象一下，84天没捕到鱼是个多么大压力！

但书中的主角桑地亚哥却不这么觉得，希望和信心从未在他的心中消失过，因为他还记得，曾经他有八十七天没有捕到大鱼，但接下来的三个礼拜却天天捕到大鱼。

八十五是个吉利数字。那天凌晨时分，月亮还没有消失，老人出海了！他的信心焕然一新，如同乍起的微风。老人终于在第85次捕到了一条大鱼，但这条鱼实在太大了，把他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，他杀死绑在小船的边上，但在归程中又碰到鲨鱼的袭击，于是，老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，最后回来时只剩下鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。这些可能在一些人眼里他一文不值，但在老人眼里却是巨大的收获。

是什么力量让老人坚持下来？当我读到作者海明威在书中的一句名言：“一个人并不是生来就要给打败的，你可以很被毁灭，却不能打败。”我豁然明白，老人就是靠着这种顽强和勇敢的意志，挑战一次又一次危险，征服了大鱼，战胜了鲨鱼。

回想自己，经常碰到一点点困难就不耐烦，经常因考试成绩不好而失落，对自己没有信心，这些和经受了那么多打击的老渔夫相比，是多么不值一提。

“世界无难事，只怕有心人。”我们要像书中的老渔夫一样，心中有颗信念的种子，勇敢迎接挑战，努力不放弃。

这个暑假我读了《老人与海》，这本书是美国现代著名作家海明威的代表作品。

故事讲的是一个老渔夫，年轻时身强力壮，很出色，曾经和一个黑人掰手腕，掰一天一夜，最后胜利了。到了晚年，他妻子死后，就独自住在海边的小茅棚里。

有一次他乘小船去打鱼，可连打了84天，一条鱼都没有打到，他不放弃，再次出海，这次打到了一条巨鱼，可这时他已经筋疲力尽，却来了一群鲨鱼企图抢走老人好不容易打到的巨鱼。

于是老人拼尽全力保护他的“战利品”，可到最后他并未保住完整的鱼，鱼也只剩下了一堆残骨。可在我看来，这堆残骨见证了老人不屈不挠的精神！老人与鲨鱼对抗中，就像当面他与黑人扳手腕一样——永不放弃，最终取得了真正的胜利！

这本书让我懂得了一个道理：一个人并不是生来就神威无敌和不可打败的，只有你尽全力，敢于面对一次次的打击、挫折，才能锤炼出一个人的铮铮铁骨！就能创造出与老人一样无敌的不败神话！

《老人与海》围绕一位老年古巴渔夫，与一条巨大的马林鱼在离岸很远的湾流中搏斗而展开故事的讲述。它奠定了海明威在世界文学中的突出地位，这篇小说相继获得了19XX年美国普利策奖和19XX年诺贝尔文学奖。

我读过许多书，它们让我学到了许多知识，也让我懂得了许多做人的道理，《老人与海》这本书讲了这么一个故事，古巴老渔夫圣地亚哥连续八十四天没捕到鱼，被别的渔夫看做失败者，可是他坚持不懈，终于钓到了一条大马林鱼，大马林鱼将他的小船在海上拖了三天才筋疲力尽，被他杀死了绑在小船的一边，再归程中一再遭到鲨鱼的袭击，他用尽了一切手段来反击。回港时只剩鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。尽管鱼肉都被咬去了，但什么也无法摧残他的英勇意志。这本书向我们揭示了这样一个真理：人不是为了失败而生的，一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。

以前，我做什么事只要有一点不顺利，就会退缩，有时还会说上几句垂头丧气的话。在学习上，我只要有几次考试不是很理想就没有信心，认为自己考不到好成绩。《老人与海》中，主人公与鲨鱼搏斗，鱼叉被鲨鱼带走了，他把小刀绑在桨把上乱扎。刀子折断了，他用短棍。短棍也丢掉了，他用舵把来打。这本书揭示出的真理，不就说明了人无论怎样，最怕的就是没有信心。信心就好比是汽车的马达，是人前进的动力。如果你做一件事有了信心，你就等于成功了一半。这本书中主人公充满信心、锲而不舍的精神，不正是我所缺少的吗?

自从读了《老人与海》之后，我知道了自己的不足，学习上不再因为一两次不顺利而失去信心，而是越考不好，就越要考好。在期末考试的那一天，上午的两门功课成绩，我没有班里的某一个同学好，但是我并不服输，反而信心倍增，决心打一个翻身仗。下午的语文考试，我做每一道题目都格外仔细。果然，我语文考试是班里的第一名，总成绩上，我也是第一名。

今后，我不管遇到什么困难，都要信心十足地去面对，坚持到底，决不退缩。我要感谢书，感谢它让我学到了那么多知识，感谢它让我懂得了那么多道理，感谢它让我知道自己的不足，及时改正自己的缺点，使我成为一个对社会有用的人。

作者是欧内斯特·米勒尔·海明威，他是美国小说家。海明威出生于美国伊利诺伊州芝加哥市郊区的奥克帕克，晚年在爱达荷州凯彻姆的家中自杀身亡。海明威代表作有《老人与海》、《太阳照样升起》、《永别了，武器》、《丧钟为谁而鸣》等，凭借《老人与海》获得1953年普利策奖及1954年诺贝尔文学奖。海明威被誉为美利坚民族的精神丰碑，并且是“新闻体”小说的创始人，他的笔锋一向以“文坛硬汉”着称。海明威的.写作风格以简洁着称，对美国文学及20世纪文学的发展有极深远的影响。

《老人与海》的主要内容是：老渔夫圣地亚哥在海上连续84天没有捕到鱼。起初，有一个叫曼诺林的男孩跟他一道出海，可是过了40天还没有钓到鱼，孩子就被父母安排到另一条船上去了，因为他们认为孩子跟着老头不会交好运。第85天，老头儿一清早就把船划出很远，他出乎意料地钓到了一条比船还大的马林鱼。老头儿和这条鱼周旋了两天，终于叉中了它。但受伤的鱼在海上留下了一道腥踪，引来无数鲨鱼的争抢，老人奋力与鲨鱼搏斗，但回到海港时，马林鱼只剩下一副巨大的骨架，老人也精疲力尽地一头栽倒在陆地上。孩子来看老头儿，他认为圣地亚哥没有被打败。那天下午，圣地亚哥在茅棚中睡着了，梦中他见到了狮子。“一个人并不是生来要被打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他。”

我很佩服老人这种永不言败，面对困难毫不退缩的精神，而我正缺少这种精神与挑战困难的勇气。这本书的思想感情是：“一个人并不是生来要被打败的，你尽可以把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他。”这是圣地亚哥的生活信念，也是《老人与海》中作者要表明的思想。通过圣地亚哥的形象，作者热情地赞颂了人类面对艰难困苦时所显示的坚不可摧的精神力量。孩子准备和老人再度出海，他要学会老人的一切“本领”，这象征着人类这种“打不败”的精神将代代相传。

当我们读到在大海中苦苦鏖战的老人和拼死也要活口的鱼类的时候，我们愿意相信这就是活着之所以应该活着的价值，证明自身存在的价值，对于年轻人以及中年人来说更应该多从这个角度来理会本书的内涵，奋斗可能没有结果，可能一切都会是一场空空的“骨架”，但是，有一点我们必须承认，奋斗的过程是何其令人赞赏?正像某书评作家解读《西游记》中的孙悟空一样，读者最喜欢的还是西行中的孙行者，而不是已经修成正果的斗战胜佛。

在今后的学习中，会有许许多多的困难与挫折等着我们，只有像那位老人那样尽自己最大的努力克服困难，遇到困难锲而不舍、永不言败才能闯过这些暗礁险滩，战胜困难这只拦路虎，创造美好的明天。

今年寒假，我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》。我十分佩服小说中老渔父的意志，他让我懂得了一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。

小说描写的是一个年近六旬的老渔夫，在一次单身出海打鱼时，钓到了一条大鱼，却拉不上来。老渔夫同鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼，虽然明知很难取胜，但仍不放弃。后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。

以前，我做什么事只要有一点不顺利，就会退缩，就会放弃，有时还会说上几句垂头丧气的话。在学习上，我只要有几次考试不是很理想就没有信心，认为自己考不到好成绩。但是在《老人与海》中，瘦弱的老人与鲨鱼搏斗，鱼叉被鲨鱼带走了，他把小刀绑在桨把上乱扎；刀子折断了，他用短棍；短棍也丢掉了，他用舵把来打。他永不放弃，最后得到了成功。我明白了人无论怎样，最怕的就是没有信心。信心就好比是汽车的马达，是人前进的动力。如果你做一件事有了信心，你就等于成功了一半。老人充满信心、拥有锲而不舍的精神，不正是我所缺少的吗？

老人的精神实在令我佩服。每当我读到他与鲨鱼进行激烈的搏斗时，我的心情不知是要紧张还是要为他担心，可是他呢，总是保持着乐观的精神去面对一些极大的困难。看到这里，我不由得想起了自己，每当我遇到了一些困难时，总是觉得很不顺心，觉得很烦，很想逃避现实。再看看那位勇敢的老人，不管遇到任何困难也毫不退缩，而是勇敢地去面对！

所以今后，我不管遇到什么困难，都要自信地十足地去面对，坚持到底，决不退缩。我要感谢书，感谢它让我学到了那么多知识，感谢它让我懂得了那么多道理，感谢它让我知道自己的不足，及时改正自己的缺点，使我成为一个对社会有用的人。

和家园小学五（2）班黄泺橙

在这个寒假里我看了《老人与海》。书中主要讲了老人在连续84天没捕到鱼的情况下，在第85天的时候发现了一条大马哈鱼，开始了长达3天3夜的追捕，最后大鱼被他杀死，而在归程中老人又遭到鲨鱼的袭击，最后回港时老人只剩鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨……

这本书给我最大的启示就是不要害怕失败和困难。

在书中，老人是多么坚强，不害怕失败，不害怕困难，因此厄运并没有把老人打倒，老人却把命运踩在了脚下，成为了生活中的强者。

在电影里，我也看到过类似的场景。在《一条狗的使命》中。小狗贝利为了找回自己的主人伊森，历经了一次一次的失败和困难重生了四次，最后终于找到伊森。小狗贝利的这种精神不是与老人一样么？

在现实生活中，碰到困难是难免的，可我们要正视困难，用坚持不懈的精神去打败它，如果失败了，就要从失败中吸取教训……再想想自己，每当碰到一点点困难就想退缩，想放弃。当我每次考试没考好时，我就会不敢正视，于是对下次考试也失去了信心，从而一次又一次的失落。仿佛进入了一个恶性循环。但读了《老人与海》后，我知道了人生没有不失败的，每个人都会历经失败，而我们要做的是在失败过后重新站起来，勇敢的去面对，去寻找失败的原因，总结经验，并战胜它。

面对困难，我们还要向老人一样付出辛勤的汗水，没有付出怎能有收获？天下没有免费的午餐，就算努力到最后也没有成功又有什么关系？我们努力过了，便不会留下遗憾。

我相信，在我的努力下，我一定会变得像老人那样勇敢，那样不怕困难。更不怕失败！

我读完了《老人与海》这是我第一次读这本书受到了很多的启示。

这本书的作者是(美国)欧内斯特·海鸣威写的，他写的是一位穷困不堪、厄运连连的老人，在海明威的笔下如此坚忍不拔，勇敢顽强。

这篇故事主要讲了：有一位老人，他有一位孙子，这位老人是专门钓鱼的，在孩子小的时候，老人教会了小孩钓鱼的技能，不久孩子长大了，不想离开老人。就天天和老人住在一起。一天老人要出海，他要去很远的地方去捕鱼，他没有让孩子去。在途中老人受到了很多的折磨，最后钓到了一条非常大的鱼就准备回家，可是鱼身上的血，吸引了很多的鲨鱼。老人为了让鱼不被鲨鱼吃掉，就跟鲨鱼搏斗，在我印象中最深刻的一次是老人看见鲨鱼要来抢肉时，赶忙拿起舵，在鲨鱼的脑袋上不停的敲打，可是鲨鱼抢走了一点鱼肉。结果还是鲨鱼赢了!老人只好垂头丧气地回到了家。孩子看见了老人回到了家，孩子便说：“我们可以一起去钓鱼了，我会给你带来好运。”

读完了这个故事：我从这位老人身上体现了人的真正价值，以及强悍的硬汉精神。突然我想到海明威说的，一句话：“人可以毁灭，却不可以被战胜。”这时我才想到，人最重要的东西不光光是时间，还有生命所体现出的价值。

The first sentence in this book is impressive. It reads: “It is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. The undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.

People always think that Austen was an expert at telling love stories. In fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. After reading this book, I know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.

I couldn’t forget how eager 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?

这个故事讲述的是老渔夫圣地亚哥在连续84天没捕到鱼，其它渔夫的嘲笑或者玩笑，他都不生气。头四十天里，有个男孩子跟他在一起，可是，过了四十天还没捉到一条鱼，男孩的父母要小男孩去了其它船上。这种情况下，他坚持不懈在第85天的时候独自钓上了一条大马林鱼，但这鱼实在太大了，把他的小船在海面上拖了三天才筋疲力尽的把它绑在船的一边，这需要非常大的勇气和意志，但在归程中又遇到鲨鱼的袭击，于是老人与鲨鱼进行了殊死搏斗，但最后回港时只剩下鱼头鱼尾和一条脊骨。震惊了小男孩，在他眼里，老人是最用该最有能耐的。

“一个人生来不是被打败的，人可以毁灭，但不能被打败。”这句话在文中深深的打动了我，遇到人生中的困难，既然发生了就要积极去面对问题，去解决，勇敢去处理，不能被打败也不怕被打败，要能永不放弃，越挫越勇。不管结果如何，至少我们经历过，我们积极面对过，我们认真思考过，都是值得我们尊重的结果。

路有千万条，问题的处理也有千万条，合理与不合理先放着不说，至少我们思考过面对过，值得庆幸的是首先我们没有被问题打败。这篇海明威的小说，在当今这个时代很具有教育意义，现在的大学生，高中生等在上一辈人的细心呵护下，遇到各种不顺都有大人买单，经受不了挫折的打击，动不动就用结束生命的方式来解决问题，生命白白的被问题打败了。

钟，嗒嗒的响着，随着半夜的风轻轻拂过，我窝在被窝里翻阅着美国著名作家海明威的作品：《老人与海》。

一个简单的故事，一个平凡的老人，一条普通的大马林鱼，在茫茫大海上发生了看似平凡而又不平凡的经历。在这一个悲剧性的故事中，却折射出一个“英雄人物“——老人圣地亚哥。

当老人拖着自己的战利品与鲨鱼作战时，我的心不禁被所震撼。人一定不能给打败！这简洁的话语，使我似乎听到老人与海浪搏击的声音……

看到这儿，我停了下来，看着那书桌上堆积如山的作业本，那道道关卡还在等我解。可是我却放弃了，我向它们投降了，被它们打败了。不！不应该这样！人一定不能给打败！遇到困难我们一定要迎难而上。

此时的我又恢复了以往的我，如此生机向上。我离开了被窝，坐在了桌前。一点点黄晕的光照亮了所有的题目，也照亮了我心中的光明……

书中悠悠散出的味道，使我有说不出的感觉。

失败为什么会闪耀？当然是所谓“虽败犹荣”。

曾经有一位渔夫，他每天都出海捕鱼，却一连八十多天也没有捕到一条鱼，成了其他渔夫的笑柄。再次出海时，他的好运气来了，居然捕到了一条与自己的小船差不多大小的大鱼！老人与之对峙了三天三夜，终于制服了大鱼。但是在回返途中，一条条鲨鱼继相来争夺老人的猎物，老人努力与大鱼抗争，而最后大鱼被吃得只剩骨架，老人再一次失败了。

这是一个真实的故事，在海明威的笔尖下显得简洁直白，朴素的语言让我们身临其境：蓝天白云，年迈的渔夫，凶狠的鲨鱼，深蓝的大海，在这片大海中，老人绽放出了最美丽、最耀眼的光芒……

遭到人们的嘲笑，老人的心情是沮丧的。但从他对男孩说的“可我们有（信心），是不？”我能感受到希望和信心从未在他的心里消失过，反倒是更为强烈，更为闪耀。男孩就如他唯一的朋友，两人更是心灵相通。不知为什么，在小男孩与老人的平淡无奇的对话中，稚嫩的男孩显出了一些成熟，沧桑的老人染上了一丝可爱，他们之间的情感，像亲情，也像友情，这就是缘分的所在吧。

出海遇见一条巨大的马林鱼，可是老人却如何也占不到优势，掌握权在马林鱼手里，小船随着大鱼的游动而前进，几次老人都由于鱼的突然前进而受伤，鲜血不仅仅滴在了船上，落在了海里，更是染红了我的心。老人每一次的自言自语都体现出了他潜内心中的孤独，他对手上的各种伤口毫不体现出疼痛，且说出许多十分幽默的话语：“手，你感觉好些了吗？”“手啊，你快点停止抽筋吧。”手成了他的“伙伴”，又一次让我对他的孤独产生了说不出的情感。

返回途中不幸地遭到鲨鱼的争夺，老人冒着生命的险境，利用一切的工具，努力保护自己的大鱼，与鲨鱼争斗。最后只剩下了船桨，他没有灰心，而是拿起船桨打在鲨鱼的头部，一下，一下，一下……大鱼已被吃得所剩无几，但是这块鱼骨中却蕴含着老人的勇敢、耐心与智慧，更是含着老人的呐喊：我绝不会向你们低头屈服！

海明威的语言十分简洁，毫不矫揉造作，却将事情描述得十分清楚，一字一句，似乎都在他的笔下有了魔力，有了生命，栩栩如生，这是我喜爱海明威作品的一个原因。这样的写作风格，将一个“硬汉”的所有精神与情感坦率地表达了出来。

事实上，老人没有失败，他在一整个过程中体现了许多可贵的精神品质：坚持、朴素、勇敢、机智、耐心……我在读这篇小说前，我从来没有想过一个孤独的、沧桑的老人会有如此的品质值得我们去学习，这些精神将会永远地闪耀，就如海上的灯塔，能鼓励那些自暴自弃、绝望潦倒的人们重现希望与目标。

“人并不是生来就要吃败仗的，一个人可以被消灭，但不可以被打败。”

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!" .
