+ 加入清单奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》,正如她自己所说,是在两寸象牙上细细的雕刻,它是奥斯汀的代表作.这部反映婚姻问题的小说是作者作品中最受欢迎的一部,也是她本人最喜欢的作品.作品生动的反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情.
整部作品没有滂沱的气势,没有曲折跌宕的情节,但就是这种简单,精致深深地吸引着我.奥斯汀短暂的一生几乎都是在英国的乡间度过的,也许就是周围朴素,宁静的氛围孕育了她淡然的气质.并不能因为没有丰富的经历,就对她的对于事物的分析能力有所怀疑,读过《傲慢与偏见》的人一定会为她细腻,敏锐的情感所折服.在写《傲慢与偏见》时,她只是一个十几岁的女孩,难道这不是一种天赋么?她的确很少接触外界,但思想存在,想象存在,这一切的存在就足够。
这是部浪漫又现实的爱情。爱情没有浪漫就失去其美好的色彩了。但是小说中种种关于门当户对,以及财富对婚姻的考量却充斥其中。
伊丽莎白为自己家人的行为给自己带来的影响万分懊恼,达西也因此劝宾利先生离开 简,后来自己也是在理智与情感较量之后万分矛盾地向伊丽莎白吐露心事。所以说什么是爱情?那种纯粹的感情,爱的不顾一切,单纯的洁白如雪的爱情是不是真如镜中花水中月,是不是只不过是人们心中的美好幻想和追求罢了,而现实生活中人们总是寻找二者之间的最佳平衡点。
伊丽莎白在知道威克姆的真实面目前对其充满好感,她的姨妈却说这样的青年托付终身不会幸福,因为他没有财产没有稳定收入,伊丽莎白接受这样的看法,并且主动克制了自己的感情,呵呵这样并没有给伊丽莎白抹黑,只会让我们看到一个真实理智的伊丽莎白,聪明理智的姑娘。
达西继承祖业,生活无忧无虑,在上流社会里也是受人尊敬,在那样的地位,一切的美德都不为过,慷慨大方,助人为善,这些东西无助与对他形象的丰富,对他倒是没什么评价。
有一个细节的描述很有意思,兰蔻小黑瓶伊丽莎白和她的舅妈舅舅Mr./Mrs.Gardiner 到彭伯利-达西的庄园去游玩时,不小心遇见达西之后,Mr.Gardiner 和达西先生的交流让伊丽莎白非常满意,她觉得达西应该知道自己的亲戚不都是那种举止让人厌烦的人。这样的心理描述的确很有意思,伊丽莎白已经非常在乎达西的感受了,如果不是的话,她的亲戚如何的糟糕又关达西何事?再者,伊丽莎白是不是也有那么一点的虚荣心呢,这无损她的可爱,反而使她更加可爱!
在追求爱情的路上,一定要坚定自己的信念,不要因为金钱、名利或其他原因而草草决定,要坚持寻找真爱。如果对方的某些缺点是自己所不能容忍的、而且也是自己所无法改变的话,就应该果断选择放弃;当然也应该要珍视彼此,不要由于别人的一些话就改变自己的决定,幸福要自己去经营。

篇1:傲慢与偏见读书笔记1000字
全文共 847 字
+ 加入清单本篇小说是简·奥斯汀在英国的巅峰时期写的,她写的这篇小说,趣味不失,却又讽刺了乡村人的势力、炫耀、虚荣,和对婚姻的扭曲看法。她用自己与众不同的文笔,表述了两种不幸与幸运的婚姻。
小说围绕着柏纳特太太如何让把女儿嫁出去的主题展开故事。其中以二女儿的婚事为主线。男主人公达西富有、高贵、但却十分高傲;二女儿伊丽莎白年轻、任性且聪明活泼,对达西心存偏见。爱情在两人之间忽隐忽现,步履维艰,但最终还是打破了这种傲慢与偏见。小说在两人幸福美满的婚姻中落下帷幕。柏纳特先生的五个女儿很好的表现了当时乡村社会的女性:大女儿简温文尔雅,心地善良;二女儿伊丽莎白聪明有主见,对事物有着自己独特的看法;三女儿玛丽相貌不突出,但知识渊博,品行端正;排行第四的凯蒂和小女儿莉迪亚,个性浮夸,整天不务正业,只顾贪享玩乐,不知天高地厚,莉迪亚因为单纯愚蠢,被一点利诱就骗上钩。
奥斯丁认为不幸的婚姻大致有两种情况,一种是伊丽莎白的闺蜜夏绿蒂的婚姻,她因为总是担心自己的空世不好,怕自己老了都嫁不掉,所以嫁给了一个没有教养、行为粗鲁,但比较在钱的男人,夏绿蒂为了过上较好的生活,不惜每天夜晚无耐地忍受这个满身恶习的人。还有一种是莉迪亚的婚姻,她因为年纪轻轻而愚昧无知,只因为一个男人外表俊美而内心虚伪,深深地迷恋上了他,最后酿成无法收拾的后果,结婚后,当知道丈夫整天沉迷于赌博,充当无业游民,心里一定满是后悔与无耐。
这篇文章用两个主角的爱情故事告诉我们一个道理,不要被第一印象所迷惑了。伊丽莎白一开始对达西的也有偏见,达西一开始也瞧不起伊丽莎白,有一段时时间伊丽莎白也被一虚假的人和事物蒙蔽了双眼。后来,伊丽莎白才发现达西是个善良、正直的人,达西也发现伊丽莎白是个端庄、美丽的女孩。看一个人不能只看他的表面,要看他做的事、他说的话,他的一举一动,才会发现一个人的真实面目。
这篇关于婚姻的著名小说是一本百读不厌的书。简·奥斯汀用有详有略的写法叙述了四组奇异的婚姻。道理与生活的奥秘深藏其中,等待你去挖掘,思考,品味,你就可以体会。
篇2:汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感
全文共 4045 字
+ 加入清单These days Ive just finished the novel Uncle Toms Cabin that left a really deep impression on me and we can see.
It is a book written in 1852 in response to the passage of the Fugitive Slave Law, Uncle Toms Cabin has been considered as the most influential anti-slavery novel in that period and described by Stowe herself as a “series of sketches” describing the human cruelty of slavery, opens with a description of Arthur Shelbys Kentucky plantation during the antebellum period.
There are several impressive characters in this novel, George who is clever and brave;Harry, a beautiful and talented child who sings dances and mimes;Mrs. Shelby, a very religious woman;Sambo and Qimbo and so on. The major character Uncle Tom who was the most impressive in this novel was a devout Christian. He endured the miserable fate bravely and aroused the whites sympathy for slaves with his Christs sacrifice and the tolerance of returning good for evil. This novel focuses on the distinctive personalities of Uncle Tom deeply influenced by Christianity and the important role Uncle Toms Cabin playing on abolition; and the Significance of “Uncle Tom” to the harmonious worlds development, and the effect on modern people.
In the book, at the beginning, the author presents us a very beautiful image of a rather harmonious family who live a happy life. However, that beautiful image couldnt last long, the darkness came soon. The master of this happy family, Uncle Tom was arranged into a difficult situation. As Shelby, the not cruel master, he has incurred serious debts- prompting him sell some slaves to avoid financial ruin, so Uncle Tom, Shelbys loyal servant since childhood was sold to Mr. Haley, the slave trader. Uncle Tom remained loyal to his master, despite his betrayal and the risk of death at the cruel hands of a new master. The slaves at the plantation were very mournful, but Tom remained placid and tried to read his Bible for fort. On the steamboat to New Orleans, where Tom was to be sold, Tom befriended an angelic little girl, “Little Eva” St. Clare. Uncle Tom saved the five-year-old beauty from drowning, and she convinced her father to buy Tom for her own family. In her family, Tom enjoye.
d his life because of the girls love; Toms contentment does not last, however, because Eva soon falls ill. Dying, Eva asked Mr. St. Clare to free Tom after her death. But Mr. St. Clare is so sad by her death that he never legally freed Tom before he himself was killed trying to mediate a barroom scuffle. Mrs. St. Clare sold the slaves to settle her husbands debts and Tom was sold to Simon Legree who was so violent that beat his slaves brutally. At last, when Mr. Shelby, finally found Uncle Tom, he was almost died. After Tom was dead and buried, Shelby went back and freed his slaves.
As we all can see that Uncle Toms Cabin was an anti-slavery novel and it was even considered as one factor that caused the Civil War. In the novel, the slaves were sold from one place to another frequently, and their fate was tragic, with no exception- just like Uncle Tom, no matter he was under the control of kind masters or evil masters, he cant escape the misfortune of being sold from one master to another. We cant see any human right of them, so terrible.
As someone said, with more people realizing the inhumanity of slavery in the 19th century, slavery became one of the most important issues and it became more violent year by year in American society. However, slavery was not abolished irrevocably until ratification of the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, following the Civil War. After the passage of Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote this novel Uncle Toms Cabin which publicized the evil of slavery to a wide audience.
Now we are in the 21st century, we may never e across such kind of thing. However, this book can always remind of us that there ever has existed this evil and we cant let it happen again. And “equality” 、“human right ” cant just be a slogan, we should make it e true really and always.

篇6:傲慢与偏见读后感2000字
全文共 1747 字
+ 加入清单我知道简·奥斯汀的《傲慢与偏见》这本书是在高中英语课时老师介绍的,它是《pride and prejudice》翻译过来的。那时,并没有多少时间去看,真正看这本书是上大一时看的。自从我看了这本书之后,我几乎把图书馆中的各个版本都看了一遍,甚至下了电影看好几遍。它荣升为我最喜爱的书。
“凡是有家资的单身汉,总想娶位太太,这是举世公认的真理。这样的单身汉,每逢新搬到一个地方,四邻八舍虽然完全不了解他的性情如何,见解如何,可是,既然这样的一条真理早已在人们心目中根深蒂固,因此人们总是把他看作自己某一个女儿理所应得的一笔财产。”这是《傲慢与偏见》开篇的一段话。也是19世纪的英国人对于爱情、婚姻与价值的普遍看法。
小说以男女主人公达西和伊丽莎白由于傲慢和偏见而产生的爱情纠葛为线索,共写了四起不同类型的姻缘。从他们对待终身大事的不同处理,我们可以看出乡镇中产阶级家庭出身的少女对婚姻爱情问题的不同态度,从而反映了作者本人的婚姻观。而小说中伊丽莎白和达西不顾双方的地位差异,以爱情为基石,缔结了一段让我们称颂了近两百年的完美婚姻。
奥斯汀在构筑这本小说引人入胜的情节时,总是以具有鲜明个性的人物的活动(包括外在动作和内心活动)为载体的。小说中的每个人物都有鲜明的个性,少见雷同。在这部小说里,它的众多女性人物,从最重要的主人公伊丽莎白·本内特,直到极其次要的陪衬人物德伯格小姐,都有自己独特的特色。她们各自具有时代特征,是社会上各种人物的典型,体现出了作者“对人性最透彻的了解”,这也是《傲慢与偏见》思想内容的本质。从小说看,伊丽莎白聪敏机智,有胆识,有远见,有很强的自尊心,并善于思考问题。就当时一个待字闺中的小姐来讲,这是难能可贵的。她那秀外慧中的个人素质,她那充满理性的爱情婚姻观念和实际选择,以及她最后所获得的圆满归宿,都充分表达了作者本人对做人,对爱情婚姻以及对人性的了解和向往。
当然,伊丽莎白能够获得如此完美的婚姻,也有男主人公达西坚持不懈的原因。刚开始伊丽莎白对于是富家子弟的达西存在偏见,而达西也确确实实是有一丝傲慢,这种傲慢是当时男女主人公之间地位差异的反映。只要存在这种傲慢,他与伊丽莎白之间就不可能有共同的思想感情,也不可能有理想的婚姻。以后伊丽莎白亲眼观察了达西的为人处世和一系列所作所为,特别是看到他改变了过去那种骄傲自负的神态,消除了对他的误会和偏见。一波三折后,达西摒弃了对伊丽莎白的傲慢,伊丽莎白也消除了对达西的偏见,两人共偕连理,缔结了一段美满婚姻。伊丽莎白对达西先后几次求婚的不同态度,实际上反映了女性对人格独立和平等权利的追求。这是伊丽莎白这一人物形象的进步意义。
小说中描绘的婚姻除了达西与伊丽莎白的婚姻是基于爱情的,其他的三种类型婚姻都基于各种不同又符合人物性格的原因。伊丽莎白的姐姐简和宾利的婚姻是基于倾慕的,不过这多多少少还是有爱情的成分。柯林斯和夏洛蒂的婚姻是基于顺从和接受的,根本没有爱情可言,而是屈服于现实生活得压迫。而威克姆和莉迪亚的婚姻是基于欲望和利益的。这根本就是一时冲动的产物,也为以后他们不幸的婚姻埋下了种子。这些建立在不同条件上的婚姻中,只有伊丽莎白和达西的婚姻是完美的婚姻——情感和财富、道德和理智的统一。
从上面始终不同了类型的婚姻也可以反映出作者本人的婚姻观:为了财产、金钱和地位而结婚是错误的;而结婚不考虑上述因素也是愚蠢的。因此,她既反对为金钱而结婚,也反对把婚姻当儿戏。她强调理想婚姻的重要性,并把男女双方感情作为缔结理想婚姻的基石。但是理想和现实是有差距的,作者终其一生也未能找到那个适合自己的最完美的人,最终抱憾离开了人世。
小说题材虽然比较狭窄,人物也很平凡,但是作者遣词造句的精炼考究,以及在对话艺术上的机智幽默、讽刺,烘托出了人物性格,在读者面前塑造出一个个鲜明的、栩栩如生的人物。这种风趣诙谐的语言艺术独具一格,使作者具有了属于自己的特色。奥斯汀自己也说过,她创作小说,像是用一支又尖又细的画笔,在小小的一块象牙上轻描慢绘。奥斯汀在英国小说的幽默和讽刺传统中,无疑是亲手铺垫下一块重要的基石。
这是一本一个小女人对爱情的想法,这也是当时社会的先进观念。却让千千万万个女人学会了要理智对待自己的情感和关系着自己终身幸福的婚姻。
篇7:傲慢与偏见读书笔记
全文共 657 字
+ 加入清单《傲慢与偏见》是简·奥斯汀的代表作。这部作品以日常生活为素材,一反当时社会上流行的感伤小说的资料和矫揉造作的写作方法,生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情。
《傲慢与偏见》在书中是男女主角感情上的障碍,但在现实社会中也是人们相互之间交流的障碍,更是在正确对待自己,对待事物上的绊脚石。人的缺陷太多,首先是心灵上的陷阱。要想在一生中成就一番事业,无论是知识、教养、还是感情、事业,都需要同自己心灵的种种浅浮的陷阱或阴影做斗争,经过各种误解和长时刻的反复的认识过程,慢慢由心灵克服各自弱点和毛病,而走向开放、洒脱、自由的必然结果。扰扰尘世,做人不易;茫茫人海,佳偶难见。然而没有感情不好勉强别人结婚,只要人品正直,追求美德,不放松向喜之心,不苟且、贪图一时之利欲,追求两心之和谐、相应,运用彼此的智慧,克服心灵上的缺点,终得如愿以偿。
人和人之间的相处总会有一些小小的摩擦,而这些摩擦,往往就是自己内心中所潜藏的弱点或毛病,要和别人能够更愉快的生活,就务必先了解到自己的缺点,并磨去他,其次是了解别人的内心,最后再互相深入彼此,如此一来,你会发现到社会上每一件人、事、物都是如此完美、光明,更进一步激发出你内心深处的感动,发挥出自己的专长去替这个社会、这个国家、这个世界服务,毕竟我门是万物之长,如果人们不再用心去关怀身边的人,不再去付出自己的一臂之力,那么还有谁要去完成这个任务呢?因此从此刻开始,我们就就应将自己原先所存有的毛病给除去,换上一个全新的自我,为崭新的未来打拼吧!

篇10:傲慢与偏见读书笔记800字
全文共 964 字
+ 加入清单直到昨天,我才真正读完了这一整本书,这本书是上周日买的,看的速度似乎慢了点儿!
它是英国的简·奥斯丁的作品,这部小说的主题是爱与婚姻,全书或详或略涉及到了五门婚事:作者主要着墨于伊丽莎白和达西,这两人的性格大不相同,伊丽莎白外向,活泼可爱,达西内向给人的感觉是非常傲慢,他们第一次相逢在舞会,达西得罪了伊丽莎白,后来伊丽莎白又听信了别人对达西的中伤,觉得达西可恶极了,同时两人的门第与财产有别,达西大富大贵,伊丽莎白家只算中产阶级,由于父母膝下无儿,财产还得由一个远亲继承。最糟的就是伊丽莎白的母亲脑子笨,经常出洋相妹妹也行为不俭,都被达西瞧不起。然而达西喜欢伊丽莎白的聪明,渐渐喜欢上了她把门第抛之脑后,伊丽莎白了解到了事实的真相后,不但消除了误会,发现达西的心地善良、品德高贵,而且觉得他们俩不同的性格正好互补。这两人的婚姻是美好的婚姻。
伊丽莎白的姐姐简和宾利的婚姻与伊丽莎白的有共同之处,就是既有感情又有财产做基础。
伊丽莎白的妹妹莉迪亚是真心喜欢威克姆的,最后与威克姆结了婚,却不幸福。她单纯追求外在美不问其他,尽管如愿以偿得到了一个美男子却与幸福绝缘。威克姆金玉其外,败絮其中刚开始时迷惑了包括伊丽莎白在内的几乎所有姑娘,但最终上当的是莉迪亚,原因是莉迪亚虚荣心太重。
伊丽莎白的好友夏洛特与牧师柯林斯的婚姻另属一种情况,夏洛特长得不算好看,又没啥财产难于出嫁,所求不在爱情,只在生活依靠,而柯林斯只要娶到女人就行,所以两人一拍即合,他们的婚姻远远比不上伊丽莎白和达西、简与宾利却胜过莉迪亚和威克姆,虽然谈不上爱情、幸福,却有满足、太平。
伊丽莎白的父母的婚姻又十分特殊,他们有财产,但没有爱情,伊丽莎白的父亲年轻时认为美貌女子能给他带来幸福,也如愿以偿,娶到了一位漂亮的姑娘,婚后却发现与美貌而不聪明的女人共度一生索然无味,他的生活宽裕,却情感空虚。
这五门亲事作者没有各表一端,而是通过主人公伊丽莎白很自然地联在一起。
我读完整本书后就觉得,自己以前做的事太愚蠢蠢了,比如我以前看见长得丑的、不好看的我都不会对他们产生好感,甚至讨厌他们。但是当我读完这本书时,我才明白,一个人如何,不是靠美丑来衡量的,那只是外在的,我们要用心去体会内在的。一个人的长相如何,不能代表他的内心如何。
这本书虽然在写婚姻,但其实揭示的都是这个道理。

鸭妈妈孵出了一只十分奇怪的蛋,这只“小鸭子”不仅大得吓人,而且长相丑陋。因此,大家都嘲笑它,歧视它。周围的动物们都不喜欢它,于是鸭妈妈便也开始讨厌它。无奈的丑小鸭便独自跑了出去,经历了重重困难、重重磨难之后,丑小鸭最终变成了最美的白天鹅!

+ 加入清单导语:《星际动物园》我们人类战无不胜是因为我们智力发达。我们会思想,会说话,会使用工具,会制造精妙的机器。我们是再聪明不过的动物……下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语读后感,欢迎阅读与借鉴,谢谢!
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!

全文共 1472 字
+ 加入清单The novel opens with the famous line, "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.". and ends with two marriages: Jane and Bingleys, as well as Darcy and Elizabeths. Both couples are assumed to live happily ever after.
Elizabeth (Lizzy) Bennet is the core of the family. Elizabeth is the second of Mr. and Mrs. Bennets five daughters, and is an intelligent, bold, attractive twenty-year-old when the story begins. In addition to being her fathers favourite, Elizabeth is characterized as a sensible, yet stubborn, woman. Misled by his cold outward behaviour, Elizabeth originally holds Mr. Darcy in contempt. However, she finds that Mr. Darcy improves on acquaintance, more so than she would expect.
Fitzwilliam Darcy (commonly known as Mr. Darcy) is the central male character and Elizabeths second love interest in the novel. He is an intelligent, wealthy, extremely handsome and reserved 28-year-old man, who often appears haughty or proud to strangers but possesses an honest and kind nature underneath. Initially, he considers Elizabeth his social inferior, unworthy of his attention, but he finds that, despite his inclinations, he cannot deny his feelings for Elizabeth. His initial proposal of marriage is rejected because of his pride and Elizabeths prejudice against him; however, at the end of the novel, after their relationship has blossomed, he is happily engaged to a loving Elizabeth.

+ 加入清单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!" .
篇15:傲慢与偏见读后感

+ 加入清单爱情与婚姻是人类恒久不变的话题,在《傲慢与偏见》里,简·奥斯汀用她理智而诙谐的笔调为我们讲述了五个婚姻故事,阐释了婚姻的真谛:爱情。婚姻应建立在爱情的基础上,而以金钱或者外貌、情欲为目的的婚姻是难以幸福的。而且爱情的建立,必须经过双方深入的了解,抛除虚荣心与偏见,客观的认识对方的品格,只有优秀的品格才能获取爱情。
Love and marriage is a constant topic among human, In Pride And Prejudice, Jane Austen told a story about five marriages for us in her rational and humorous writing tone, which explains the truth of marriage: love. Marriage should be based on love, while it can’t have access to happiness when just based on money or appearance. And a deeper knowledge is needed when we start our affection . Exclude vanity and prejudice, and think about each others moral character objectively, and we can know someone better and more exact---- only good moral character deserves real love.
书中的两对恋人,伊丽莎白和达西,以及简与宾利,他们的婚姻虽然也不排除相貌与家世的考虑,但主要是建立在爱情的基础上。尤其伊丽莎白和达西的爱情故事最为人津津乐道。他们由相互厌恶到最终相爱并且结为连理,此番曲折中,他们逐渐相互了解,解除偏见,抛弃毫无意义的所谓体面,最终认识到并且爱慕上对方的美德。而伊丽莎白对达西的求爱先拒绝后答应,更是展现了她对无爱婚姻的蔑视。相反,伊丽莎白的朋友,夏洛特,她认为自己既不美,又没有钱,出于经济方面的考虑,选择了与愚蠢而又肤浅的柯林斯结合,过上有保障但没有乐趣的婚姻生活。同样,伊丽莎白的妹妹以及父亲的婚姻也是不幸的,他们在美貌的皮相面前昏了头,忽略了对方的品德,导致终生遗憾。
The two pairs lovers in the book, Elizabeth and Darcy, Jane and Bingley, mainly based their marriage on love and excellent moral character, though thinking about looks and family background to small extent. Elizabeth and Darcys love story is most relished especially. During twisting journey from they hated each other to finally fell in love and got married, Elizabeth and Darcy gradually got to know each other, removed prejudice, and discard meaningless so-called face. Eventually they realized and fell in love with the virtues of each other in readers’ expectation and wishes. Furthermore that Elizabeth refused Darcys courtship before accepting, still further show her defiance of marriages without love. On the contrary, Charlotte, Elizabeths friend, who thinks she is not beautiful besides having no money, chose to combine with stupid and shallow Collins out of economic considerations, and lived a ensured but dull marriage life. Similarly, Elizabeths sister, Lydia, as well as her fathers marriage is unfortunate, for they were confused by the beauty of appearance, while ignoring the moral character. They would be bound to regret for their choice all their life .
总而言之,在婚姻面前,我们必须向爱情看齐;在爱情面前,我们必须以人的品德为准;在品德面前,我们必须客观公正。
All in all, we must be for love alignment in the face of marriage; and we must will be subject to moral character in the face of love; and we must be objective and fair in the face of judging the moral character.

+ 加入清单To Regain the Nature of Goodness
—— Review of ‘Oliver Twist
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 dont 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 peoples 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.
篇17:双城记英文读后感
全文共 3618 字
+ 加入清单The tale of two cities is a historical story, one of Dickens’ long fictions.The background to the novel is the revolution of France .It portrayed a brutal and bloody story , but it also contained love and friendship.
In the novel, Dickens sarcastically described a typical cruel nobleman—marquis of Evermonde . When he was young he and his brother stole a countrywoman by force and killed her family .What’s worse , he used his power to imprison Dr Manette , a kind and honest man who knew all the things they had done and wanted to disclose their crimes . In order to hide their crimes. Marquis of Evermonde and his brother threw Doctor Manette into prison for 18 years . During these 18 years,Doctor Manette lost his freedom and suffer a great in spirit .
I felt unthinkable that Marquis of Evermonde and his brother killed people just as easily as they killed chickens. They deprived other people’s freedom as they liked and they thought it was normal and unremarkable. They had never realized that they had done something wrong or something improper. Because their nature was cruel and evil, like demons. There is an old saying which means: People who commit too many crimes will kill themselves. After all, there is justice in the world. The demons can’t be rampant forever. Because the world will not forgive them. They will pay their lives for their crimes. Let’s see the consequence of the Marquis,’’He lay there like a stone with a knife pushed into his heart.” I think it was just what he ought to gain and it is a real exciting scene.
The Marquis’ death was just the beginning of people’s resistance to the nobleman. Gradually more and more people joined in the revolution. One after another nobleman were sentenced to death and their heads were cut down . However, some innocent people were implicated in the revolution. Charles Darney was one of them He was the nephew of Marquis of Evermonde. To the opposite of his uncle, Darney was a kind and independent young man.
Dickens spoke highly of kindness mercy and love in the novel too. This is the other thone of the novel when Doctor Manette was released from prison. It was his daughter Lucie who took care of him and helped him return to normal. During this time, Dr manette and Lucie knew Charles Darney and Sydeny Carton, the two young man fell in love with Lucie at the same time . At last, Lucie married Chares Darney .Dr Manette accepted Darney as his son-in-law although he knew that Darney was the nephew of the man who threw him into prison for18 years. This is the love between father and daughter. And Sydeny Carton , the very great man ,loved Lucie deeply. He promised Lucie that he would do everything for her happiness. He did it truely ,he sacrificed himself instead of Darney who looked the same as him. This is love for lovers . This is the most wonderful thing in the world. It also reminds us that no matter how no matter when there is true love existing. At the end , Lucie, Dr Manette and Darney arrived in England safely.
The tale of two cities is different from other historical fictions. Its characters and main plots are fictional under the real background of the revolution of France. The author made the experience of the fictional charactor Dr Manette as the main clue.The plots are complicated, and they are flexuous and dramatic. The structure is complete and rigorous.
Dickens had dear love and hate. He praised those who ought to be praised and attacked those who ought to be attacked. The motivation of the novel maybe just warn the English dominators. But I think we can learn something meaningful from the tale of two cities.

+ 加入清单For You, a Thousand Times over
I am convinced that few books are as good as this one. To be honest, I hadn’t maintained that this book would appeal me before I read it. However, I was absorbed in the book from the first chapter to the last one. Why this book has appealed to me that much? I asked myself. This book is not my type of reading for only romantic books could draw my attention successfully. Then I came into a conclusion that it is the friendship and familyship fascinated me.
To the world you are one person, but to the person who loves you, you are the world. Amir was Hassan’s world. Amir’s name had been the first word Hassan spoke. Hassan threatened brutal Assef for the sake of Amir. Hassan never failed to run the kite to please Amir. Hassan sacrificed himself for Amir’s house. These are more than a friend would do. Only those who loves you so much could challenge himself to do what Hassan did to Amir.To Hassan, Amir was not only a mere friend but a brother. He loved Amir more than anything else. Even after Amir betrayed him, he still told his son proudly“Agan Amir is my best friend”.Maybe for Hassan “for you, a thousand times over” has another meaning, which is not just kite running for Amir but he will do anything for Amir.
If Hassan could be described as an angel, then Amir was just a person. I did hate Amir for he watched Hassan be raped and did nothing, for he made Hassan leave his born-place, for he aimed Hassan with fruit(even though he actually tried to make himself get punished). Amir didn’t deserve what Hassan did to him. I thought his meanness caused Hassan’s tragedy. But after I finished the book, I realized it is not Hassan’s tragedy, it is Amir’s. For what he had done to Hassan, he had led a live with regret and suffered endless sleepless nights. His going back to Afghanistan is not only a journey physically but a journey to atonement. Hassan’s son, his nephew saved, Amir’s sin was finally washed. Like the life of circle, Amir ran kite for his miserable nephew.As Hassan did to him, he said “for you , a thousand times over” to Sohrab.Though the book doesn’t give us an accurate ending whether Sohrab came into life again. I am sure love can cure everything. Only when Sohrab lives a happy life as Hassan hoped can Amir’s sin washed up.
The friendship between Hassan and Amir moved me. I believe All the people who read it is going to be touched just as I am. This book does make me think the good and the bad ,what’s wrong and what’s right, the cruelty of war . Few books can exert an influence on people nowadays, this book sure does.

篇19:傲慢与偏见读后感500字
全文共 878 字
+ 加入清单十八世纪的英国,社会上社会上流行的感伤小说的内容和矫揉造作的写作方法,而有一本书,它的作者用着最真实的语言,生动地反映了18世纪末到19世纪初处于保守和闭塞状态下的英国乡镇生活和世态人情——《傲慢与偏见》。
故事主要以发生在那个时代的四门婚姻为主题,其中最主要的,自然是发生在女主角伊丽莎白·班纳特与男主角费茨威廉·达西之间的爱恨情仇。伊丽莎白是个勇于追求爱情、漂亮聪明、坚强可爱的中产阶级女子。故事主要以她对达西先生从一开始的厌恶到尊敬,再到爱慕为线索,也穿插了在几个发生在她身边的幸福或不幸的婚姻。
十八世纪,大英帝国正处于国家发展的巅峰时期,而奥斯丁却把视线关注在英国乡间,她以朴实的文笔描写出乡村里的各种爱恨情仇以及人们的心理变化和情感。当时英国乡间的生活在作者看来是惬意悠闲的,纯朴中包含平凡自然,但是整个英国社会的影响力始终波及着乡村,如势利、炫耀、虚荣和对婚姻的看法。
看了这本书后我想了很多,不仅是当时人们对婚姻的评判标准,还有他们对爱情的理解。在当时的社会,婚姻结缔的幸福条件就是男方有丰厚的家产,女方有不错的嫁妆,这样的婚姻就会被众人羡慕。可是这样的结合真的会给人们带来精神上的满足吗?诚然,这样的婚姻类似于一种资产合并,以钱作为婚姻的基础,在我看来是不明智而且可笑的。“什么是爱情”,这个问题似乎当时的大部分人都不能真正理解其实对于这样的社会状况,或许会有那么一些人在心里默默地反抗。所以我佩服伊丽莎白敢恨敢爱的性格,她能正视自己内心的想法而不被物质生活冲昏头脑,我想这样的人真的很可贵,在我看来,她便是那个时代的勇士。
最令我感动的情节是书中伊丽莎白在搞清楚之前对达西的误会后她所表现出来的坚持。看过这本书的人都了解,伊丽莎白消除对达西的偏见后,他们对彼此产生了日益增长的感情,而伊丽莎白对这份感情的坚持和风雨无阻的与之同行,是令人感动的。
很多时候,我们都会忽略事实的真相,因而对一个人一件事产生错误的注解。所以我们应该学会正确的判断和耐心的摸索,这样,或许我们能看到一些很美好的人。
只有了解才会有改变,当偏见化成真诚,那便是最幸福的时刻。
篇20:汤姆叔叔的小屋英文读后感
全文共 3036 字
+ 加入清单Joy depicts the crisis of faith that overes Rabbi Banish of Komarov, who, having buried his four sons and two daughters. Only through the mercy of the God he has denied, manifest in a radiant vision of the dead Rebecca, his beloved youngest daughter, is the rabbi’s belief restored. The sense of wonder and the touch of heavenly joy that linger after the vision dissolves convince Rabbi Banish of the folly of judging God’s actions by human standards. The rabbi has interpreted the apparent tragedy of his children’s premature deaths as evidence of God’s alienation, forgetting that God is by definition inscrutable. That God’s purpose transcends man’s ability to prehend it is made clear to the expiring rabbi when the family dead approach his deathbed with arms outstretched to enfold him among them. For theirs is the kingdom of heaven to which a loving God has called them; and their deaths have evidenced not God’s wrath but his grace.
A version of Rabbi Banish’s deathbed revelation appears to Rabbi Nechemia in Something Is There. At twenty-seven he is already racked by the doubts that torment Rabbi Banish. So shaken is his belief in God that he deserts his rabbinical post in provincial Bechev for the flesh-posts of Warsaw. Although the prostitutes, unclean food, and shady business dealings which he witnesses there hold no attraction for the erstwhile rabbi, they intensify his revulsion from the world created by God and therefore his alienation from God himself. Unlike Rabbi Bainish, whose intimations of immortality and consequent rededication to God precede his radiant deathbed vision, Rabbi Nechemia cannot allay his doubts until the very moment of death, when a light he never knew was there flickered in hid brain.
While his dying words—something is there—resolve his crisis of faith, they e too late to affect the spiritual renewal attained by Rabbi Banish. No explicit promise of immortality, let along of salvation, attends Rabbi Nechemia’s vision. Perhaps grace is accorded Rabbi Banish because his doubt is triggered by devastating personal losses, and withheld from Rabbi Nechemia because his despair is the bitter fruit of idle speculation about the unknown. Whatever the reason, relatively few of Singer’s characters are granted at the moment of death the transcendent vision of unity between man and God that appears to Rabbi Banish in Joy. For the fortunate few, release from time into eternity is affected by a divine visitation which obliterates distinctions between past and present, living and dead.
These kinds of characters are lost in their world because of the seducement of the material world. They doubt their formal faith and gradually give up what they believed. But after they have experienced so much hardship, they realize that they cannot adapt to the life of the outer world so they regress to the former life with formal faith. They realize the importance of God and they begin to think seriously about the relationship between man and God. At last they find their right way of their life.
