老人与海读后感英文加翻译【实用20篇】

As the only living things on a bare planet called “Just Like Home”， humans felt lonely and sad. In order to live, they must get married as often as possible and have children. Unwilling to get married, our 16-year-old protagonist named Humming Bird ran away from her planet and found a plastic space ship. There she met various kinds of animals, which frightened her even drove her crazy. She had never seen such things before. Only through ‘The Book Of Remembering’ did she get some rough idea of animals. After she took a small-copied cat home and showed it to the officials on her planet, the cat was shot to death and all the officials went crazy. Humming Brid didn’t give up her attempt to let people accept the animals. She decided to set about the job from children…

That’s the brief plot of Harry Gilbert’s science fiction—。 Based on the reality of increasing environmental problems, the writer uses his full imagination and creativity to produce this vivid imaginative and thought-provoking story.

As far as we know, animal numbers are now diminishing all over the world every years, and the living conditions we depend on a getting worse. We dirty the air with gases and smoke, poison the water with chemicals and other substances and damage the soil with too many fertilizers and pesticides. We also pollute our surroundings in many other ways. Air, water and soil are all very important and necessary to the survival of all living things all over the world. If we human don’t pay more attention to that, there will come a day when we have to live the kind of life described in this novel. As we know, the world is made up not only of human beings but also a lot of other living things. If we don’t want to leave this perfect planet, we have to protect the environment; otherwise, without the company of other living things, people would only be half-alive, men only half-men.

Nowadays, I should say, people have realized the importance of environmental protection and ecological balance. Slogans that remind us to save water and electricity are stuck everywhere, but how many are treated as requirements or duties and not just a piece of paper. If we pay a little attention to our working and study places, we always find some taps half opened with running water, and large numbers of people get used to leave lights on during the day. Dustbins for both recycled and unredeemable rubbish are placed in high density but no one bothers to throw the rubbish into the right dustbins. Nor do they even know what kind of rubbish could be recycled and what kind could not.

Conservation centers for protecting animals are built in many countries. Our government also passed some acts to protect animals; however, there do exist some law-breakers who are driven by money. We plant trees very year, but no one bothers to water and care for them after planting them. For money, some farmers drive their sheep and cattle to grasslands and charge it into desert.

All in all, to every one, I want to say, “Living on this wonderful planet earth, we are lucky and happy. In order to enjoy this kind of wonderful life, we must care for mother earth and put this kind of care into practice.”

Facing the world, to be or not to be, it’s up to you. We must make a choice without any hesitation!

今天，我看完《老人与海》的最后一章，我的眼前就出现了一副“江海奔腾图”,老人在恶浪滔天的大海上，顽强的和鲨鱼搏斗。

《老人与海》这本书叙述了老人(圣地亚哥)在海中用他的智慧、经验和毅力，最终战胜了鲨鱼，安全的回到码头。

读完最后一章时，我的眼泪不由自主得掉了下来，书中这样一个片段令我最感动：老人在和鲨鱼搏斗的过程中鱼叉丢了，老人就用船桨、短棍和舵把，最终，终于把鲨鱼打败了。老人永不放弃的精神值得我们学习。

每当回想起老人捕不到鱼的情景，我就感到非常伤心，我做为少先队员，21世纪的接班人，在学习上一遇到困难就退却，有的时候干脆就放弃了，这怎么能为祖国的明天做贡献呢?而老人在和鲨鱼搏斗的过程中克服了艰难险阻，我遇到的困难和老人比算得了什么，于是我一定要把我身上的坏毛病改掉，勤奋学习、刻苦钻研，遇事决不放弃。将来做一个对祖国有用的人。

让我们的祖国永远繁荣昌盛。

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

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

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

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

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

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

The two lovers has ever decided to flee to Europe, where they can live with their dauthter Pearl as a family .They feel a sense of release there. However, their plan fails…… When Hester dies, she is buried next to Dimmesdale. The two share a single tombstone, with a deep colored letter A shining brightly.

《红字》是美国小说家霍桑最杰出的代表作,也是整个美国浪漫主义小说中最有声望的权威作品之一.小说的故事发生在十七世纪中期加尔文者派统治下的波士顿,作者从当时的社会现状入手,通过一个感人的爱情故事悲剧来揭露当局对人们精神,心灵和道德的摧残.

海丝特*白兰是一个在婚姻上遭到不幸的女人,年轻美貌,却嫁给了身体畸形多病的术士罗杰*齐灵沃斯,夫妻间根本谈不上爱情,后来,罗杰又在海上失踪,杳无音讯,白兰孤独的过着日子.这时一个英俊有气魄的青年牧师,亚瑟*丁梅斯代尔闯入了她的生活,他们真诚的相爱了,度过了一段隐私但热烈的爱情生活.不久,白兰由于怀孕的隐情暴露,以通*罪被抓,在狱中生下了女儿小珠儿.

按照当时的教规,白兰只有交代*夫的姓名才能获得赦免,否则将受惩罚.然而执行审讯任务的却正是他的情人.白兰宁愿独自忍受任何惩罚,为了把她和丁梅斯代尔之间的爱情深深地埋在心中,她坚强的挺住了.

海丝特*白兰受到了惩罚,她必须终身穿着一件绣着红色A字的外衣.字母A代表"通*(Adultery)"一词.白兰带着小珠儿离群独居,在郊外偏僻的茅舍中过者孤寂的生活.而用心险恶的前夫罗杰发现了丁梅斯代尔的反常表现,利用牧师痛苦和矛盾的心情,不断地折磨他,终于丁梅斯代尔在他即将升为主教的前夕,当众宣布了自己的秘密,丁梅斯代尔向周围的人们展露了这首爱情的颂歌.当他把自己的胸衣扯开时,一个猩红的A字烙在他的胸前.他在自己的爱人身边离开了人世.

海丝特*白兰,他坚强,有毅力,对爱情忠贞不渝.虽然被统治者认为有罪,但她是清白的,纯洁的.她的精神不断上升,成为真,善,美的化身.她的举动是对封建政权与教权压迫下的爱情,人权和自由的充分肯定.

丁梅斯代尔最初与白兰产生了炽热的的爱情,虽然他一度退却了,为自己能够隐蔽的安慰,但内心的痛苦并没有因他的安全而平息,相反,越来越强烈.他与白兰的约会,他在枷刑台上的自我忏悔,他们的逃跑计划,以及最后的公开演说,都成为了丁梅斯代尔向着爱情的祭坛一步步走近的脚印.最后他扯开上衣,人们见到了烙在他胸口的红色A字.这个A字实际上是烙在他的心上的,这是爱情的升华.

作者用蔷薇花象征美与善,用监狱象征死亡,用一道光,一只鸟……象征丁梅斯代尔与白兰之间的爱情的结晶——小珠儿,使作品充满着一股迷人的魄力.

在作品的最后,在白兰和丁梅斯代尔合用的墓碑上刻着这样一句话:"一片墓地上,刻着血红的A字."这句话不可谓不意味深长.

我阅读了海明威的获得了诺贝尔文学奖的中篇作品《老人与海》，这是一部描写人与大自然搏斗的小说。它既接近现实主义，又富于浪漫色彩。它描述了一位老渔人一连八十四天没有捕到鱼，但他并没有丧失信心，硬是驾着一叶孤舟，独自一人到茫茫大海中追踪他要战胜的鱼类。在历尽千辛万苦之后，他终于捉到了一条大得令人难以置信的马林鱼，而在满腔喜悦的回程中，却被一群穷凶极恶的鲨鱼撕咬得只剩下一副骨架，落得空手而归。在作品中，一方面，流露出作者一贯的悲观情绪（这可能与他早年的喜欢冒险、叛逆的性格以及遭遇的一些战争的悲惨刺激有关），他认为，在人和大自然或外界势力的搏斗中，总难免归于失败，最后的胜利只不过存在于人的乐观的想象中，归根结底还是免不了悲惨的结局，这里掺杂着一些宿命论的唯心观点。但另一方面，作品中强调了应当不向失败低头的“硬汉”精神，在这篇小说中，老人就保持了这种精神：老人和上了钩的力大无穷的大鱼斗，和掠夺他的战利品的一群贪婪凶恶的鲨鱼斗，和狂风巨浪无边无际的大海斗，和他自己的伤痛、疲劳斗。最后虽说是一无所获地回到自己的茅屋里，但他没有认输，他不承认自己被打败。老渔人在丝毫没有绝望的因空手而归的失望后，寄希望于下一次出海，认为只要不驶出那么远，就大有成功的可能。其中给我印象最深刻的是：在和鲨鱼的苦斗中，他大声呼喊：“人不是生来要给打的！”“你尽可把他消灭掉，可就是打不败他！”在海明威的许多作品中，总是贯穿着两种对立的思想--一种是消极的悲观主义的宿命论，一种是积极的不向失败低头的“硬汉”精神。这两种对立思想在老人身上体现得淋漓尽致。

海明威在《老人与海》的写作手法上，突出表现了富有感情的人物性格刻画、深刻的心理剖析和故事情节及景物之间的协调与和谐，他还运用他贯常的独白手法来表达老渔人内心深处的思想感情，使人们看到老人是多么勇敢、坚毅、镇定。如，在驶回小港登岸之前，老人曾经问自己：“是什么把你打败的呢？”回答是干脆的、充满自信的--“什么也不是！”他提高嗓子说：“是我走得太远啦。”在看这部作品时，我发现，作者还以浓墨重彩的笔触描绘了大海的浩瀚景色，用自然主义的手法将大海写得如此之绚烂变幻、气象万千，宛如大自然雄伟瑰丽的画面就在我们面前。

我在读这一伟大的巨作时，一开始，只是拿到书就读，读得很辛苦，觉得这样的作品只是描写老渔人的心理和他与孩子之间发生的一些小事而已，语言朴实、通俗易懂，写得很一般。而且身在当代社会的我们，无法与这作品中的生活与思想融合，只觉得格格不入，我无法理解！

在看到一半时，在老师的指导下，我另外看了一本书，那本书介绍了海明威的一生，并对海明威一些作品的背景及其内容进行了诠释。这些，对于我来说，简直又是一笔财富，等我看完后，我非常地激动--原来，海明威是这样的一个人！！！然后，我又继续读《老人与海》，而这一次，我是带着某种感情色彩和理解的心理来体会作品内容的，当我读完作品，心中不由发出惊叹：这真是一部了不起的作品啊！他把老人与大自然搏斗的情景写得那么协调，这与他的经历是分不开的！他的作品差不多是他自身经历的写照！加上他那独特的写作技巧，更使内容锦上添花！这个诺贝尔文学奖的获得是当之无愧啊！我想，体验生活、细心观察、一丝不苟的创作精神，这些，对于一位伟大的作家来说，都是非常重要的。……而对于我来说，把作品与作家联合起来读，也是非常重要的。

（二）

闲来无事，又重新潜心拜读了一遍《老人与海》，读时却不禁感想颇深，仿佛不是在阅读一本枯燥的书，而是在阅读一颗生动的心，一颗赤红的心，一颗跳动的充满激情的心。那是数年前我体会不到的。我的感怀也由此开始。

简练，或者说精炼的文字，配上扣人心弦的叙述，即使不长的小说，也能成功，而牵动读者的心。《老人与海》在海明威的思绪中流转，充满炽热的液体，不曾冷却。

王勃笔下流淌出的千古传唱的《滕王阁序》，其间曾说，“老当益壮，宁移白首之心，穷且益坚，不坠青云之志。”这不仅是一个人的志向，也是老人圣地亚哥的真实写照，是他的灵魂的最恰当描述，是一种生命意义，是一种悲剧一般的壮丽，还是一种对人生的洞悉。当这个世界的天平不向每个人倾斜时，总用人会被象征倒霉的另一端所高高抬起，没有信心，厄运会轻易吞噬空虚的心灵。人真的是很奇怪的动物，为何有勇气面对死亡，却没有勇气面对失败呢？难道失败真的如此可怕吗？冷冷的海风里夹杂着一股血腥，也许这才是人真正害怕的。唯有不羁的灵魂，才是与大海的对抗，与自然的对抗，与世界的对抗，与命运的对抗，这样的灵魂才能做到，真正的伟大，即使他不曾成功过。

我今天读了《老人与海》这本书，它讲的故事令我非常感动。

老人在八十一天没有捕到鱼之后，他终于捕到了一只剑鱼。可是，在他回来的路上，他遇到了一只鲨鱼，他与鲨鱼搏斗一场，最后，老人失去了他捕到的剑鱼，他又空手而归了。

老人永不言败的精神感动了我，在他与鲨鱼搏斗时说：“你可以杀死一个人，但你永远不可以打败他”。老人宁死不屈的精神让我为之震撼，我又想起了司马迁，他也没放弃自己的生命，终于写成了《史记》；我又想起了张海迪，她瘫痪在床，但还是用吉它歌唱自己的人生；我还想起贝多芬，他双目失明，双耳失聪，却写出了9部交响曲……

我终于明白自己平常生活中，无论遇到怎样的困难都不能放弃，要坚持，这样才能成功。

在我们人生路中充满了各种艰难和坎坷，但是我们必须用一颗自信勇敢的心与端正的态度去迎接前方路上来的困难，这样即使我们没有成功，我们也同样是一个胜利者。

《老人与海》中的那位老人是一个饱经困难的人。他在面对将近三个月都没有捕到一条鱼的困难面前并没有放弃，而是用正确的态度抱有希望的努力着。在第八十五天时，他发现了一条大鱼。

尽管已经筋疲力尽，两眼模糊，但他仍然与大鱼争斗了整整三天三夜，最终在几乎要放弃时终于将他捕获了。本已经成功了，但是不幸的是在返程中遭到鲨鱼的突然袭击，最终，辛苦得到的成果被鲨鱼吞下，只剩一条鱼骨，空手而归。

他虽然没有成功，但他却是一个当之无愧的胜利者，在生活中也正是如此，有些时候只要我们拼搏过，勇敢的接受了挑战，即使没有成功，我们也不需要后悔。

用正确乐观的态度面对生活，勇敢的接受生活的挑战，永不言败！

我读了著名美国作家海明威写的小说《老人与海》。这本书讲述了一位老人驾着一艘小船，在茫茫的大海里与鲨鱼搏斗的故事。

一位年近六旬的老渔夫，在连续八十四天没有钓到鱼的情况下，还是驾着小船驶向无边无际的大海去钓鱼。经过了耐心的等待，老人终于钓到了一条大马林鱼。可是大马林鱼也不肯轻易就范，做出最后的挣扎，那条大马林鱼突然腾出水面又落入水中。经过三天的周旋和激烈地搏斗，在最关键的时刻老人将鱼叉插入了大马林鱼的心脏，马林鱼鲜血直流慢慢地失去反抗。因为这条鱼太大老人没法拉上船，只好绑在船边返航。由于马林鱼的鲜血引来了一群群的鲨鱼，老人用尽一切办法奋起抗击，鱼叉，小刀还是木棍、绳索都全部用上与鲨鱼进行搏斗。最后因鲨鱼太多了，老人辛辛苦苦钓来的大马林鱼还是鲨鱼被吃得剩下一付鱼骨头，老人拖着一付鱼骨驾船回到了海港。

“勇敢者是不会被打败的，你可以消灭他，可就是打不败他。”我非常佩服老人的决心、耐心和坚强意志。老人钓鱼也可以说是失败了，但他却是一个有勇气和意志去抗争的胜利者，他没有身向任何困难低头。我非常敬佩老人顽强的意志和不屈不挠的精神。在生活中，我碰到了难题就失去了耐心，总是想逃避问题，没有决心和勇气去自己解决问题。比如考试考得不好了，我就开始垂头丧气，却没有认真地去想想我错在哪里。在读完这本书后，我感到十分惭愧。“从哪里摔倒了，就从哪里站起来。”虽然我不可能一下全部改正这些坏习惯，但我会尽最大的努力去做好每一件事，不逃避任何一道难题。

“宝剑自从磨砺出，梅花香自苦寒来。”我要从生活的点点滴滴做起，不管遇到怎么样的挫折和失败都不能轻易放弃，一定要坚持到底。

I just finished reading the English "Annie diary. This is my first time to see the book. The first time I see in elementary school, English. At that time, still cant read, feel nothing. And now, it seems, has deep deep feeling.

Anne frank a jewish girl. She could and ordinary girl live a happy life, but her parents to be hiding in the attic. (www.lz13.cn)Little Annie all hide in the attic of dark, avoiding the Nazis killing. She couldnt close to nature, and friends to play like before. In the shadow of death, Annie only a diary to a torrid every day. For her diary as her friends, she can only rely on and talk to a friend. She is in her diary written a lot of racial discrimination, silent, more is to the outside world, to nature yearning, for life.

From her diary, I could imagine that she was helpless, fear, but more calm and calm. This is a great girl.

After reading the "Annie diary, my heart is very heavy. The Nazi racism, destroying much like Anne as innocent lovely child. War is abhorrent, it lets the human experience is destined unscathed.

Thanks to "Annie diary, let people see war, let people to think ugly, go for unfortunate people mourn.

Let history repeat, dont ever ask world peace.

书读万卷，其义自现。书中自有黄金屋，书中自有颜如玉。这个暑假我利用闲暇的时间阅读了一本世界名著，——《老人与海》。

老人与海主要讲述的是一位年迈的老人在经历近九十天的风雨之后，抓住了自己心爱的大马哈鱼，结果却在归航途中被其它动物吞噬，最后只留下一具白花花骨架的故事。令人读了心酸，读了落泪。但是书中却没有过多的悲情描写，没有描写这个老人生活是有多么困苦，多么艰难，上天多么对他生活的不公，对他命运的不公，而是将更多的笔墨头道投入到她坚强乐观、积极向上，对待生活，如同一簇永不熄灭的火焰一般，正能量的描写，让人觉得在悲痛之余感到更多的而是正义的力量，而是对生命的渴望，对价值的追求，对自己人生以及各种各样事物的永不放弃。

文中的老人。是一个很乐观的人，他每天都会与他那位“忘年交”的小男孩一起在一块吃饭，一起说笑，一起看足球比赛。记得那一次，都很晚了，他们仍然有说有笑，非常舒适惬意。虽然今天一天的收获也没有，但是却非常的开心，因为他所支持的足球队赢了！这要是放在我们生活的周围，整天看到那些挣不到钱，那些事业不成功的人唉声叹气，而书中的老人却是那样的坚强乐观，这又不何尝是我们所能学习的榜样呢？

书中的老人同样是一个非常勤奋的人，每天天不亮，那位男孩正在睡觉的时候，他便能早早的穿上衣服起床了。而最后那位体贴的男孩也了解到他的痛苦，了解到他的辛劳，竟然赶在他还没有起床之前，偷偷的起床，想要和他一起去捕鱼，他还甚至为老人盖上了一层被子，文中的男孩真是一位体贴老人孝敬老人的好孩子。但是在我们生活的周围常常看到这样的一幕：父母、老人全都围着一个小公子或者小公主在团团转，他们想要吃的便伸手拿去，他们想要喝的便叫他的爷爷奶奶帮忙端来，他们就像是使唤奴隶一样使唤自己的亲人，与这位书中的男孩相比，他们真的是汗颜啊。

《老人与海》，这本书是一本非常经典且短小精悍的书目，文章的作者也因此获得了诺贝尔奖。我刚开始还以为这部书仅仅是一部普通的小说，但是在看完之后，那种深深蕴含其中的精神力量震撼到撞击了每一个人的心灵。

窗外，下着雨。淅沥，从云朵里抽出来的雨丝千丝万缕，就这么随风悠悠地飘洒着，滋润万物却又悄然无声。我独自一人倚着那扇窗，微微垂眸，在脑海中反复回味着那本书，同时也牵起了几缕往事的记忆。——题记

《老人与海》故事的主人公是一位圣地亚哥的老渔夫，这位风烛残年的渔夫一连八十四天都没有钓到一条鱼，就连一起出海的小孩马诺林也去了别的船上。但他仍然不肯认输，终于在第八十五天钓到一条身长十八尺，体重一千五百磅的大马林鱼。经过两天两夜的奋战，他终于杀死大鱼，但许多小鲨鱼前来抢夺战利品。他一一地杀死它们，到最后只剩下一支折断的舵作为武器。最终，老人筋疲力尽，却只拖回了一副残破的鱼骨头而已。

细细品读，我发现这字里行间，都流露出一种精神：即使一个人已经在绝境之中了，但也不要放弃，越是艰难，就越是要迎刃而上。如果你做到了这些，那么在那个时候，你会迸发出一种神奇的力量，令你孕育出那不可思议的奇迹。就算那股力量耗尽了，最起码也得到了精神上的胜利。而这种精神，也让我改变了自己人生的轨道。

第一次考试，象征着我即将正式迈进知识的门槛，可我的成绩却并不理想，甚至可以称之为糟糕。父母的严格要求，已然成为了我的负担。考试的失利，令我背负上了沉重的压力，父母的期望像丝一样紧紧包裹着我。“好难过，这就是成长吗？这就是我的未来吗？”我喃喃而摇头。空旷的房间，灯光为其打上暗黄的底色。在一个昏暗的角落，隐约蜷缩着一个女孩儿。走近看，眼底是满满的忧伤，与不属于这个年纪的成熟，稚嫩的脸庞上是憔悴，那个阳光稚气的女孩儿仿佛已不复存在，取而代之的是忧郁的我。“只是不适应而已……”我自我安慰着，却依旧茫然地盯着天花板，眼里是彷徨，以及对未来深深的恐惧。情绪渐渐好转，可再一次到来的试卷，狠狠撕裂了，我还未完全愈合的伤口，把我从自己创造的那虚无飘渺的梦境中拉了出来，逼迫我面对这残酷的现实。

就这样恍恍惚惚得过了几天，这本书被朋友送到了我的手上。起初只是心不在焉地看了几眼，可在不经意间看了几眼后，便感到妙趣横生，反复思考这其中所蕴含的人生哲理。书本中，老人不服输的硬汉精神令我感到由衷的佩服，敬意油然而生，与此同时，我也感到了前所未有的羞愧：面对没有水、没有食物、身体疲惫的困境下，老人也不放弃，继续抗争着。而我仅仅是两次考试失利，就整日怨天尤人，顾影自怜，不懂得找出失败的原因，不懂得要努力去改变，才能得到胜利。“多简单的道理呀。”我久久地凝视着这本书，轻笑出声。

这本书让我那已经偏离航线的小船，重新回到了原来的地方。

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

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

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

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

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

This book is simply wonderful. The tales involved are tales of the Persian Gulf, of Bagdhad, Arabia, and tales that we as adults should revisit for some enjoyable light reading that will make us smile and wonder at the old folklore of the Arabian Peninsula.

Sinbad the Sailor is in there, as is Aladdin in its original form, and the story begins of a king who is so upset by his wifes unfaithfulness that he will now only accept virgins for one night and then have them killed. A smart virgin begins her night with the infamous king by telling him stories, and she so fascinates him and enthralls him with her tales that the tales turn into folklore for readers of the ages. I wont tell you what happens in the end to the virgin princess, but you will find humor, enchantment, wisdom and fantasy for those times when stress becomes a factor in your life.

I highly recommend the tale of "The Historic Fart" as a both funny and inspiring tale of human nature. Please buy this book and remember to become a nine -12 year old again as you read with curiosity and wonder at the fabulous enchanting, lively stories. I was beginning to wish my children were a bit younger so I could read these to them. Any child would enjoy these stories, and any adult will find them simply relaxing and a reflection of medieval Islam.

《论语·子罕》：“夫子循循然善诱人，博我以文，约我以礼，欲罢不能。”我细细品读着《老人与海》这本书，一句句话语不绝于耳，一幅幅画面震奋人心，令我受益匪浅。

一个简单的故事，一个平常的渔夫，一条普普通通的鱼儿，在茫茫大海上发生了看似平凡而又不平凡的故事……老渔夫圣地亚哥在海上连续八十四天没有捕到鱼。起初，有一个叫曼诺林的男孩跟着他一道出海，可是过了四十天还没有钓到鱼，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人不会交好运的。第八十五天，老人一清早就把船划出很远，他出乎意料的钓到了一条比船还大的枪鱼。老人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血腥的踪迹，引来无数鲨鱼的争抢。老人奋力与鲨鱼搏斗，但回到海港时，枪鱼只剩下一副巨大的骨架，老人也筋疲力尽的一头栽倒在陆地上。孩子来看老人，他认为老人没有被打败。那天下午，老人在棚屋中睡着了，梦见他见到了狮子。

对圣地亚哥，我心中有着不可思议的敬佩，有一种似曾相识的感觉。不可思议的敬佩来自于他那顽强的精神，在捕获大鱼的艰苦三天里，他并放弃的那种精神让我们所有人都很感动，在他遇到困难的时候，面对苦难他所说的只是“人生来不是被打败的”他这不屈的精神，告诉了我们，他虽然老，但是他还是伟大了，他还是站在大海上撑起属于自己的那片蓝天。记得美国评论家贝茨曾说：“实际上海明威的作品只有一个主题，那就是死亡”死亡意识是海明威人生哲学的核心，所以故事中弥漫的是死亡的阴影，圣地亚哥是不同寻常的，他不会放弃，不懂放弃，也不愿放弃，似乎在他的字典中，没有“放弃”这个词语，他不允许自己倒掉、不允许自己认输。我敬佩圣地亚哥，因为圣地亚哥老人以他有限的岁月告诉我，生命最大的意义不是生命的长久，而是在于永远不会被死亡约束。我敬佩着，敬佩着这份精神、这份毅力，在生活中，我需要这份精神与毅力。

我想，这种险恶的人生环境和这种坚韧的人生态度，正是这部作品越来越吸引人的原因。人生本来就是一种无止境的追求，至于最后是捕到一条完整的马林鱼，还是马林鱼的一幅空骨头架子，这都是无所谓的，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。曾经用尽生命的能量，为自己的理想追求过、奋斗过的老人，不是一个真正的胜利者吗?这样的人生应该无怨无悔。我们也应该像他那样，不能满足于现状，应该积极向上，做任何事都要坚持不懈，遇到困难要迎难而上，决不能半途而废。只有这样，我们才能获得更大的成功和胜利。

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

《老人与海》是海明威最不朽的作品之一，很可能成为这一代人的经典杰作之一。在他赢得了奖1953和1954部小说文学奖起到了重要作用，证实了他的力量和在文学世界的存在。海明威也是我最喜欢的作家之一。除了老人和大海，我看过他的一些其他作品，如太阳照常升起，永别了武器和Kilimanijaro雪。但是老人和大海是留给我印象最深的。

我第一次读这本书时，我十五。现在我还记得它，就像我昨天读过它一样。

读后感

今年暑假，我在美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》中学习，。我很佩服小说中的老渔夫的意志，他让我明白了一个人必须有坚持不懈的精神，才能成功。小说所描述的是一个几乎六十岁的老渔夫，一次出海和钓鱼时，有一对大鱼，但不能画。经过艰苦的渔民和鱼类社会化了几天，才发现这是一个大玛琳的鱼超过几次自己的渔船，虽然明知这是很难赢得，不放弃了。因为大玛琳鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼争夺食物以后再，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。老渔夫认为，当我读到：“这里离海岸实在是太近了，也许在更远的地方会有更大的鱼时，......”十分佩服这位老渔夫，因为他已经打到了一些鱼在这一刻，我，但是他不满意现有的事态，而是向着更大的目标前进。再次见到我们，在平凡的时候遇到一些小困难，我们都在抱怨。我们是祖国的未来，应该像这个老人一样雄心勃勃，去追求更好，更大的目标。当我读到“大玛琳鱼是它把小渔船游动，将缆绳缠绕到了桅杆的快速开始，老人右手高举着钢叉，跳出来，让它在尽最上面的水，一声哀鸣结束了大鱼的生命，它静静地浮在水面上......”时，我的心也像一块大石头落了。我佩服那种老人的恐惧，坚持不懈的精神，虽然知道对手的实力很强，但他根本没有退缩，遇到困难。正因为有这种精神，老渔夫才获得了生死之争的胜利。我们在生活中也要学习老渔夫的精神，做事不怕困难，才能取得成功。读大血腥味的一个鲨鱼进攻的味道，争先恐后地游来抢食，老人的左手正好在抽筋，他只能使用右手，可以用来攻击的武器保护自己用棍子，剑鱼，抓住一切口，并赶走了这群鲨鱼最后。但大鱼的肉已经被吃了一大半，但老人批评自己的左手“当工作的时候休息”的幽默，我被老人的乐观精神压抑的太。在生活中，有些损失是不可避免的，我们应该对待乐观的态度，不必担心小的利益或损失。最后，小说看到一个十几岁的老渔夫有18尺长的大长玛琳的鱼在宽容中，描述了这条鱼的巨大又一次，证明老渔夫克服的困难比平常大。老渔夫的精神，努力奋斗无所畏惧危险和困难的小说歌颂了，我们也应该像他那样，不能满足于现状，应该积极向上，做任何事都要坚持不懈，决不能半途而废，遇到困难要迎困难。只有这样，我们才能取得更大的成功和胜利。

I knew Mark Twain when i was a middle school student. In my memory, there is an article in my English textbook that written by him. At that time, I pay no attention to Mark Twain. However, i knew more about him after I learned the History and Anthology of American Literature, he appeals to me dearly and deeply. As a result, I read a part of his novels in part time. Here I will introduce Million Pounds to you. Before that, I will give some information about Mark Twain to you. And last, it comes my though.

Samuel Langhorne Clemens (November 30, 1835 – April 21, 1910) was an American humorist, satirist, lecturer and writer, better known by the pen name Mark Twain. He was born in Florida, Missouri and brought up in Hannibal, Missouri. After his fathers death in 1847, he was apprenticed to a printer and wrote for his brothers newspaper. He later worked as a licensed Mississippi river-boat pilot. The Civil War put an end to the steamboat traffic and Clemens moved to Virginia City, where he edited the Territorial Enterprise. On February 3, 1863, Mark Twain was born when Clemens signed a humorous travel account with that pseudonym. He often uses exaggerated ways to show his irony.

Mark Twain is most noted for his novels Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, and The Adventures of Tom Sawyer. He is also known for his quotations. During his life, Clemens became a friend to presidents, artists, leading industrialists and European royalty. For I love the One Million Pounds Note best, I would introduce it to you.

Is there real free-lunch in the world? Maybe there is! And such kind of “free lunch” strikes the poor and honest young man Henry Adams who has surprisingly got a one-million bank note from the brothers (Roderick & Oliver)。 As a matter of fact, the brothers had made a bet, if a poor, honest and clever people who come knocking on the door received the one million pounds, what will be happening to his life? The elder brother think that he would starve to death because he could not prove that the money belongs to him, will be arousing others’ suspicion, and even the banks do not let him deposit the money. On the contrary, the younger brother believes that he would live in a very good life. So the brothers lend the one million pounds to Henry Adams, and spent 30 days abroad.

From then on, Henry Adams becomes a bright focus of the money-priority society. Later, the lucky young man experiences two sharply different treatments in the tailor shop. In the ball, people from every social class try every chance to show their friendship and flattery to the new millionaire. Adams never has the chance to spend a penny because no one can change the million and he is soon living in a luxurious hotel suite, wearing expensive suits. No one asks him to pay bill, these are forwarded for later payment. He even gets the chance to go to the Party that held by Duke. Fortunately, Henry meets Jane Griffiths and fall in love with this beautiful woman. He also comes across his good friend. The man gives him some advice to earn money. 30 days has passed, Henry Adams asks his girlfriend company him to meet the brothers. Out of his expectation, his girlfriend is the daughter of one of the brothers. And finally he got a very good job from the brother. And he lived a very happy life.

Mark Twains short story of "one million pounds note" is a very good work. The article satires the thoughts of "money is everything," "money is omnipotent," and expose the ugly face of capitalist society. As we all know, the root of the story was the bet of the brothers. What is the bet actually? Where does the attraction of the bank note lie in?

As far as i am concerned, the One Million Pounds Note takes an interesting, satirical look at the hypocrisy stemming from class distinction in England. England is a country where class and wealth are given extreme significance, especially among the rich. The novel shows the hypocrisy that existed among these people, how the rich are quick to change face when they find out that youre a man of wealth and how within the next moment they revert back to their condescending selves when all wealth is lost. The story was based on the main theme by emphasizing on the hypocrisy of the upper class society but at the same time it also creates a balance that prevents the novel from being a mockery of the British society. The love story appears at the right time and there is plenty of comedy to keep one entertained. The ending is a little predictable but the director does an overall good job by rounding it up and presenting his points.

In my heart, Herry was so luckily, not everyone can get the chance to use the million. I am so envious of the "lucky" of the heroine, but at the same time I would like to think that the reason why people carry favor with him is just that they attract too much important to money, isn’t it? Money worship is shameful and should not be reaping more! Money is not omnipotent, and in the world, there are many things that more important than money .
