One hundred and sixty years ago,when Charlotte Bronte created Jane Eyre,she could have never thought that it would become eternal.As a matter of fact, in the world of today,there are tens of thousands of Jane Eyre,each living in a readers heart,breathing with him the same air and sharing with him the same happiness and sorrow.Her rich mental world has become an inexhaustible resource of spirtual power.From Jane Eyre,people who are timid and shy get confidence and self-respect;people who feel imprisoned get independence and freedom;people who are lonesome get love and care.However, what I get from Jane Eyre is the courage of inner qestioning and self-exploring.

Jane Eyre is a young orphan being raised by Mrs. Reed, her cruel, wealthy aunt. A servant named Bessie provides Jane with some of the few kindnesses she receives, telling her stories and singing songs to her. One day, as punishment for fighting with her bullying cousin John Reed, Jane’s aunt imprisons Jane in the red-room, the room in which Jane’s Uncle Reed died. While locked in, Jane, believing that she sees her uncle’s ghost, screams and faints. She wakes to find herself in the care of Bessie and the kindly apothecary Mr. Lloyd, who suggests to Mrs. Reed that Jane be sent away to school. To Jane’s delight, Mrs. Reed concurs.

Once at the Lowood School, Jane finds that her life is far from idyllic. The school’s headmaster is Mr. Brocklehurst, a cruel, hypocritical, and abusive man. Brocklehurst preaches a doctrine of poverty and privation to his students while using the school’s funds to provide a wealthy and opulent lifestyle for his own family. At Lowood, Jane befriends a young girl named Helen Burns, whose strong, martyrlike attitude toward the school’s miseries is both helpful and displeasing to Jane. A massive typhus epidemic sweeps Lowood, and Helen dies of consumption. The epidemic also results in the departure of Mr. Brocklehurst by attracting attention to the insalubrious conditions at Lowood. After a group of more sympathetic gentlemen takes Brocklehurst’s place, Jane’s life improves dramatically. She spends eight more years at Lowood, six as a student and two as a teacher.

After teaching for two years, Jane yearns for new experiences. She accepts a governess position at a manor called Thornfield, where she teaches a lively French girl named Adèle. The distinguished housekeeper Mrs. Fairfax presides over the estate. Jane’s employer at Thornfield is a dark, impassioned man named Rochester, with whom Jane finds herself falling secretly in love. She saves Rochester from a fire one night, which he claims was started by a drunken servant named Grace Poole. But because Grace Poole continues to work at Thornfield, Jane concludes that she has not been told the entire story. Jane sinks into despondency when Rochester brings home a beautiful but vicious woman named Blanche Ingram. Jane expects Rochester to propose to Blanche. But Rochester instead proposes to Jane, who accepts almost disbelievingly.

The wedding day arrives, and as Jane and Mr. Rochester prepare to exchange their vows, the voice of Mr. Mason cries out that Rochester already has a wife. Mason introduces himself as the brother of that wife—a woman named Bertha. Mr. Mason testifies that Bertha, whom Rochester married when he was a young man in Jamaica, is still alive. Rochester does not deny Mason’s claims, but he explains that Bertha has gone mad. He takes the wedding party back to Thornfield, where they witness the insane Bertha Mason scurrying around on all fours and growling like an animal. Rochester keeps Bertha hidden on the third story of Thornfield and pays Grace Poole to keep his wife under control. Bertha was the real cause of the mysterious fire earlier in the story. Knowing that it is impossible for her to be with Rochester, Jane flees Thornfield.

Penniless and hungry, Jane is forced to sleep outdoors and beg for food. At last, three siblings who live in a manor alternatively called Marsh End and Moor House take her in. Their names are Mary, Diana, and St. John (pronounced “Sinjin”) Rivers, and Jane quickly becomes friends with them. St. John is a clergyman, and he finds Jane a job teaching at a charity school in Morton. He surprises her one day by declaring that her uncle, John Eyre, has died and left her a large fortune: 20,000 pounds. When Jane asks how he received this news, he shocks her further by declaring that her uncle was also his uncle: Jane and the Riverses are cousins. Jane immediately decides to share her inheritance equally with her three newfound relatives.

St. John decides to travel to India as a missionary, and he urges Jane to accompany him—as his wife. Jane agrees to go to India but refuses to marry her cousin because she does not love him. St. John pressures her to reconsider, and she nearly gives in. However, she realizes that she cannot abandon forever the man she truly loves when one night she hears Rochester’s voice calling her name over the moors. Jane immediately hurries back to Thornfield and finds that it has been burned to the ground by Bertha Mason, who lost her life in the fire. Rochester saved the servants but lost his eyesight and one of his hands. Jane travels on to Rochester’s new residence, Ferndean, where he lives with two servants named John and Mary.

At Ferndean, Rochester and Jane rebuild their relationship and soon marry. At the end of her story, Jane writes that she has been married for ten blissful years and that she and Rochester enjoy perfect equality in their life together. She says that after two years of blindness, Rochester regained sight in one eye and was able to behold their first son at his birth.

Actually,not only do I inspired by Jane Eyres character,but also I am moved by the love of Rochester.I believe that every one of us may have thought about our Mr.Right after reading this book.He doesnt need to be so handsome .However,he must be good to us and take our things as the most important things.Yes, we are all expecting...

Not long ago I just read the English version of "Diary of Anne Frank." In fact, this is not the first time I read this book. When I first read it in elementary school, and read the Chinese version. Then still small, still can not read, that means nothing. Now it seems there feeling very deeply.

Anne Frank was a Jewish girl. She could and ordinary girl, living a happy life, but she was not hiding different parents attic. Anne all day hiding in dark little attic to escape the Nazis killing. She could not get close to nature, can not be friends like before play. In the shadow of the shadow of death, Anne only keep a diary to get through tough every day. For her, the diary as her friends, her only friends can rely on and talk. She wrote in her diary a lot, there are silent on the racial discrimination complaint, more of the outside world, the natural yearning for thinking about life.

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

After reading the "Diary of Anne Frank", my heart is very heavy. Nazi racial discrimination, maiming and killing innocent pretty much the same as Annes children. War is always nasty, it makes human experience is a market catastrophe.

Thank you "Diary of Anne Frank" and let people see the ugliness of war, to get people to think about and condolences for the unfortunate people.

不久前我刚看完了英文版的《安妮日记》。其实这不是我第一次看这本书了。第一次看的时候我才上小学,看的是中文版的。那时还小,还读不懂,觉得没什么意思。而现在看起来,却有很深很深的感触。

安妮 弗兰克是个犹太女孩。她本可以和普通女孩一样过着快乐的生活,但她却不得不同父母躲到阁楼里。小小的安妮整日躲在阴暗的阁楼里,躲避着纳粹的捕杀。她无法亲近自然,无法和朋友们像以前一样玩耍。在死亡阴影的笼罩下,安妮只有记日记来度过难熬的每一天。对于她来说,日记就像她的朋友,她唯一可以依赖和倾诉的朋友。她在她的日记里写下了很多,有对种族歧视的无声的控诉,更多的是对外面世界,对自然的向往,对人生的思考。

从她的日记中,我可以想像出她当时的无助,惶恐,但更有从容和镇定。这是一个了不起的女孩。

看完了《安妮日记》,我的内心很沉重。纳粹的种族歧视,残害了多少像安妮一样无辜可爱的孩子。战争从来都是可恶的,它让人类经历的是一场场劫难。

感谢《安妮日记》,让人们看到了战争的丑恶,让人们去思考,去为不幸的人们哀悼。

愿历史不要再重演,祈求世界永远和平。

主人公霍尔顿是四门功课不及格而被学校开除的15岁少年。他倒扣鸭舌帽,穿大号风衣,抽烟、醺酒,满嘴粗话。因被开除而又不敢回家而开始了他维持几日的流浪生活。他厌恶这个世界,他认为大人叫他读书就是为了以后能买辆“混帐凯迪拉克”,他讨厌这个金钱至上的社会,自己却挥霍无度,说自己“不是把钱花了就是扔了,是个十足的败家子。讨厌别人谈论酒和女人,自己却醺酒、恋美色,并且在流浪的几天里糊里糊涂地找来了妓女。自己想的和做的无法统一使他痛苦万分。就在这重重矛盾中,他无法自拔,最终躺在了精神病医院中。

表面上霍尔顿是个玩世不恭的坏孩子,但实际上他却有颗纯净善良的心。他爱自己的妹妹和已故的弟弟,霍尔顿说,他想像着在一大片麦田里,几千几万个小孩子在游戏,周围除了他没有一个大人。他就站在麦田边上的悬崖旁守望着,看哪个孩子朝悬崖奔过来就捉住他,不让他掉下悬崖。这是他的一个美好理想,也是他美好心灵的见证,他希望那些快乐的孩子不要跌入悬崖,而是永远快乐的奔跑。而那麦田似乎象征着物质世界,他希望生活在充满物质主义精神世界的孩子不要迷失自我,走向悬崖。他美好的心灵与现实形成了强烈的对比。

要是说到这部作品的背景的话,美国的五十年代是一个相当混乱的时期。二战的阴云尚未散去,冷战硝烟又起.一方面科技发展迅速,而另一方面,人们缺乏理想,意志消沉,在自己无力改变的社会大背景下,过着混混噩噩的生活.于是,"垮掉的一代"出现了,霍尔顿就是其中的一员,他抽烟酗酒,不求上进,但是,他还不至于沦落到吸毒,群居的地步,因为在他心底,一直还存有美丽而遥远的理想---做一个"麦田里的守望者".

我们每个人心中应该都会有属于自己的一片麦田,而现实生活却常常给我们打击,击碎我们的梦想。但我们决不能自暴自弃,要相信自己,相信爱,去面对生活。很多时候,生活并不像我们看起来那么糟。

The Gift of the Magi is a short story wrote by O.Henry.This story tells that in the day before Christmas,a poor young couple exchanged gifts by sold the most precious thing of each,but resulted ordetracted, the two precious gifts all became useless things.While they got the most precious thing than any material objects——love.

After read this story,I learned how to respect others love and how to love others.In this story,they all lost the most valuable things——Jims golden watch and Dellas beautiful hair. Behind this, I saw they loved each other infinitely.They loved their family, they let me feel that cold Christmas Eve has become the warm heaven just because of their gifts. If Della only took one dollar and eighty-seven cents to pick gift,this story will probably lacking of shocking, and also cannot cause readers thinking.

In this materialistic society, people often use money to measure gifts.When bags of gifts which are packaging delicately in front of us,what can we see except empty and blank? Parents feel happy because of our simple greeting cards in their birthday,because of a few words of blessing.These gifts,simple but true.It cant be compared with those which built with a lot of money, outlined by luxuriance. What clever gifts! In some sense, they are invaluable.

Yes,in this materialistic society,some people think money is everything,the one who owns money,who owns all.No wonder a great amount of girls became mammonists,and want to marry richers;no wonder more and more men think that there is no true love,what girls love is their money. But I always believe sincere love is existed and its priceless. Even if you have millions of money, you cant change it into true love. Maybe money can let you get some feelings from girls, but those are hypocritical. When you no longer possess vast wealth, the hypocritical feelings will ended and left you extremely painful finally.Jim and Della were a happy couple, although they were poor, living in short of money.In their hearts, money is not important, the important thing is the affection from each other.As long as they have it, they felt happier than any millionaire.

Maybe some people will pour scorn on it and cannot understand what their done. If there is a good fortune and a sincere feeling in front of you at the same time, which one will you choose? I wouldnt hesitate to choose the later, because sincere feeling is priceless! I believe that true pay will have sincere return finally, and the one who have true love can have his or her happiness.

Nowadays,more and more people have been pressed to lose their breath by the reality.They forgot the persons they love,and the persons who love them.We need to care about others,no matter how much money we have.What our loved one need is how our concern about him or her. In some important days,dont forget to bring him or her some gifts.No matter what is it,how valuable is it,he or she would like it anyway.

Because it is the gift of the Magi.

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!

Read "the old man and the sea" this article, I could not help secretly for Hemingways masterpiece. Image lifelike the story describes how an old man with a firm belief deftly will be a big fish to his humble, and how to get rid of "invasion of the enemy" -- a shark. Although he failed to bring the whole fish back, but his spirit is worth our learning: people must have the self-confidence, he will say to yourself "I can do it!" . You think about it, if the old man caught a fish, 7, 8 times more than himself he saw was afraid, put the fish, he can put the fish back to Hong Kong? No, no, he relies on ordinary people to accept such determination, to catch the big fish.

In our class, there is learning of poor students, they are lack of confidence to oneself, plus others ironic, then, they have no interest in learning, thus make grades decline gradually, falling...

Now the society developed, if can clone the self-confidence, that I must have a clone, send it to lack of confidence friend!

读了《老人与海》这篇文章,我不禁暗暗为海明威的巨作叫好。这个故事形象逼真的描写了一个老人是怎样靠着坚定的信念灵巧地将一头大鱼捕到自己那简陋的船上,又是怎样赶走“来犯之敌”――鲨鱼。虽然他没能将整条鱼运回去,但他的精神值得我们学习:人要有自信心,遇事要对自己说“我能行!”。大家想一想,如果这位老人钓到了一条比自己大上7,8倍的鱼,他见了就害怕,把鱼放了,那他能将鱼运回来为自己争光吗?不,不能,他正是靠着这样常人难以接受决心,才能捕到这条大鱼。

在我们班上,有学习差的同学,他们就是对自己信心不足,再加上旁人的讽刺,这时,他们对学习毫无兴趣,从而使学习成绩逐步下降,下降……

现在的社会发达了,如果能克隆自信心的话,那我一定克隆一份,将它送给信心不足的朋友!

篇10:麦田里的守望者读后感

全文共 2170 字

+ 加入清单

麦田守望者》是美国作家塞林格的名著,主人公名叫霍尔顿,他讲述了自己被学校开除后在纽约城游荡一天两夜的经历和心灵感受。这本书不但生动细致地描绘了一位对现实社会极其不满的中产阶级子弟的苦闷彷徨、孤独愤世的精神世界,青春期少年矛盾百出的心理特征,而且还批判了成人社会的虚伪和做作.霍尔顿的性格复杂而又矛盾,但他有着一颗纯洁善良、追求美好生活和崇高理想的童心。其中谢幕时的一番话写出了作者心中的理想教育:“有那么一群小孩子在一大块麦田里做游戏。几千几万个小孩子,附近没有一个人——没有一个大人,我是说——除了我。我呢?就站在那悬崖边。我的职务是在那儿守望,要是有哪个孩子往悬崖边奔来,我就把他捉住——我是说孩子们都在狂奔,也不知道自己是在往哪儿跑,我得从什么地方出来,把他们捉住。我整天就干这样的事。我只想当麦田里得守望者。”这番话我仔细揣摩了一下,得到一些启示。

第一、 教育需要“顺性而为”,在于引导而非强制。孩子之所以能够无拘无束地做游戏,首先在于主人公给他们提供了一个释放童心,张扬个性的精神家园——麦田,或者允许孩子们进入麦田,却有很多的规定。这样孩子们兴趣达不到极限,也不会有自由精神,更不会有创新精神,甚至会觉得恐慌。

第二、 教育的成功的智慧在于找到支点,支起学生的能力发展和生命成长。“给孩子一个支点,他能撬动整个地球!”,守望者并不是一名游戏的旁观者,而是敏感地发现了游戏中的关键点——悬崖,守候于此有四两拨千斤的功效。这不正是我们所谓的抓住契机吗?

第三、教育过程中:许多事情是没办法选择的,但你可以选择态度。做班主任不能选择学生,什么学生进来,你都得接受,作为生活辅导老师也是一样的,但只要我们尽心尽力,问心无愧,积极面对学生的实际状况,总有一天,学生会提高,会进步的。

第四、教育实践中“埋怨环境不好,常常是我们自己不好;埋怨别人狭隘,常常是我们自己不豁达;埋怨天气恶劣,常常是我们抵抗力太弱;埋怨学生难教,常常是我们自己方法太少。”确实,回顾自己在平凡的生活和工作中,遇到不顺时就有推卸责任,出现埋怨周围的环境和别人的想法或者说是不平衡心态的现象,却不懂或者不肯从自身出发找原因,不善于改变自己来适应周围的环境。多改变自己,少埋怨环境,在遇到问题时要变换角度思考问题,选择积极的角色进入生活,不能一味地要求学生来适应老师,作为一名教育者而是要去努力适应自己的学生。只有教师熟悉、适应学生,由此才能去改变学生,使师生成为一个和谐的整体,促进师生的共同进步和成长。有了这样的认识,我们才能面对现实,才能自信地工作,千方百计地改变自己的教育方法,提高自己的教育水平。

第五、平等的对待每一个孩子, 不放弃每一个孩子,不唯亲,不唯富,不唯优,不唯近。为每一个孩子创设平等参与的机制,促进他们健康、快乐、和谐、主动的发展。学生能处理的事,放手让学生去做,充分的信赖就创造了一个美好的境界。把自己的手伸给孩子很容易,难的是让他们学会用自己的手做事。成功也好,失败也好,不快乐也好,重要的是体验的过程以及愿意获得新体验的态度。

第六、在我们周围经常可以看到一些父母对孩子的错误放纵不管,他们认为孩子还小,长大就好了,这恰恰是最危险的,要让他们习惯于遵守约束,服从理智,免得以后难以纠正。我们可以一起制定详尽而切实可行的“室规”;自愿而明确的“责任到人”;简单而负有深意的“错误说明书”。因为一切都是大家自己制定的,谁都知道违反规定的后果,所以孩子们执行起来也不是特别困难。

第七、教师首先必须要有高尚的人格魅力,让学生“亲其师、信其道。”在尊敬、信任甚或崇拜的基础上接受老师的教育,学生受到的教育会更深刻,效果也更好!还有,教师也应该努力和学生建立起深厚的感情。“师生间的感情,是教育成功的第一块基石。”而离开了老师的爱心,感情的建立便是无源之水。

第八、做一个宽容的教育者,孩子犯了错误承认了就是好孩子,不能一味的认为孩子已经这样了,无可救药了,低年级的孩子自制了本来就差,我们要理解孩子的天性,没有不犯错误的孩子,多多进行换位思考,在宽容的基础上,让学生改正错误,“没有教不好的学生,只有不会教的老师”。

第九、做一个幸福的教育者,学生是含苞待放的花朵,师爱是阳光雨露,把教育事业当成自己的事业,把带给学生一生的幸福当成一生的追求。当孩子们健康、自信、活泼的成长时,不就成为了我们最开心幸福的时刻!

一群生活在新时代的孩子,自然已经习惯了困惑和烦恼,但是我们应该集中精神看准我们的前方,我们的路,我们应该是一群有理想有抱负的人。“守望”是一种习惯,一种智慧,更是一种境界,一种品质。为了学生的成长,教育需要更多“麦田守望者”。“教育上的错误比别的错误更不可轻犯。教育上的错误正和错配了药一样,第一次弄错了,决不能借第二次第三次去补救,它们的影响是终身洗不掉的。”这样的话不能不让人去审视自己:我犯的错误会给学生留下什么影响,还能补救多少?总之即使是最普通的孩子,只要教育得法,也会成为不平凡的人。

教育是一门科学,育人成才是一种精雕细刻的艺术,在工作中只有讲科学、讲创新、讲艺术,才能培养出适应社会需要的高素质的人才来。在今后的工作中,我将不断多学习先进经验,不断改进,不断提高,积极探索,善于总结,事事都换个角度看现象,使自己的工作水平不断提高。

Shakspere (wrong spelling) created Hamlet--a man with wisdom and courage .In order to revenge on his uncle for killing his father, he pretented (spelling mistake) to be mad and suffered a series of misery. On the contrary, we can also say that Hamlet is rude and selfish for he did not think twice before his revenge . if (Capitalize "If" since it is the beginning word of the sentence.) a country has no king, how can a country keep alive (You need a question mark here since it is a question.) So, every thing has two sides, the bright side and adumbral side. Every time we make a decision we have to think twice.

Comment:

Be careful with your spelling, grammar, and punctuation. Too many uncessary mistakes.It is good that you looked at both the dark and bright sides of Hamlet. Thats quite objective and convincing.

If a woman has even a tiny sense of dignity, she must shoulder any number of sacrifices rather than have her love varnished with venal character by asking for money from her lover. Extravagances, luxury as well as all other empery pleasures are valuelein front of love. As long as you love me, I ask for nothing else.

-------Marguerite(La Dame Aux Camellias)

Whenever I lingered over the magnificant story, I cannot help deeply touched by the bitterly sweet love, which struck the world as gentle as an April shower, as pure as a blowing snow, as heady as an old wine. It condensed a paradise into a kept woman’s heart, which caught and held us transfixed against prejudice in mind and greed in nature, , and provided a journey that brought home to us a comprehensive understanding of love.

Marguerite, as a kept woman,did not undergo the usual penalty of confronting wrinkles appeared under her eyes, the first death of a courtesans, but was endowed enough fortune to enjoy an unselfish and gorgeous love during her ephemeral life, witch came as a wonderful oasis to lead supply a new prospect in a disparate desert, appeared as a miracle medication to heal her wound in the sinful life, figured as a brisk spring to refresh and revitalize her lonely heart, and emerged as a great beacon of courage to kill all her bad habits in the past and make a firm determination to seek for a peaceful but fantastic life with her loved one.

Lingering between the words, we could completely feel how kind and dignified she was. She refused Armond although she knew he was really loved her with his soul. because of her gloomy despair of life, she did not turn up in his life as a figure who was sad, ill, gay with a giant sadder than grief, besides witch, who spit blood and spent a hundred thousand francs in a year. Touching this words, how can we avoid our zealous sympathy for her? She bickered with the marquis and drove him away from her family, because she hated and refused to be treated as merchandise. Touching her deeds, how could we deny our high respect for her? At last, she renounced all her hope and life just because another woman’s name. What she e although you may get hurt, but it is the only way you can live absolutely. But what she experienced, what she faced and what she did made her a real sublime angle and an eternal ideal woman in people’ heart.

However, no matter what devout wish, no matter what gorgeous love, or no matter what strong struggle, the society was so stone stubborn that it would never show any mercy for a kept woman. Just as Armond said, when God allow a kept woman to accept a real love, it is indeed a grant comfort, but also remorselepunishment, for the man holds the cruel authority to say to his lover, “ Your love is just a kind of commodity”, though the woman had devoted all her heart and spirits to her loves. It cannot denied that it was Marguerite’s joyous fortune to have Armond in her poor destiny, but at the same time, it is also have to be admitted that what a hopeletorture she tolerated and what a disappointed suffering she endured at the last part of her life. It was really too much to her. We even cannot tell what kind our feeling soared inside our bosom, but just happy with her, sad with her, waiting with her, wishing with her, and disappointed with her……

shall we criticize Armond for his foolish and brute deed to Marguerite as he got the same hurt by his horrible vengeance? Shall we condemn Armond, father for his selfish monologue which destroys the kind woman’s dream? Shall we judge the motionlemerchant and policemen’s actions before the dying woman?

我将来要当一名麦田里的守望者,有那么一群孩子在一大块麦田里玩。几千几万个小孩子,附近没有一个大人,我是说——除了我。我呢,就在那混账的悬崖边。我的职务就是在那守望。要是有哪个孩子往悬崖边来,我就把他捉住——我是说孩子们都是在狂奔,也不知道自己是在往哪儿跑。我得从什么地方出来,把他们捉住。我整天就干这样的事,我只想做个麦田里的守望者。

——霍尔顿

他是住在每个人心中的一个少年,一个焦躁却又美好的少年。

都说年少轻狂,每个青春期的孩子都会有叛逆的想法,霍尔登也只是一名处于青春期的普通学生,现在的我们和他是那么相似,又如此不同。十六的他,满嘴脏话,五门功课四门不及格,而我们努力学习让自己变得更好,十六岁的他,被校开除,一人在纽约街头游荡三天,而我们不敢无故旷课,不敢离家出走;十六岁的他,伪装成大人样子,泡在酒吧,喝的酩酊大醉,而我们却被贴上“十八周岁以下”禁止的标签;十六岁的他,厌倦生活,想逃离到西部的小木屋里度过一生,而我们却习惯了如今的一切。是的,从这几点来看,他的确是一个典型的“坏孩子”,但我想这并不是他想要的。他讨厌那些充斥在他生活中的装腔作势,假模假样的人,他畏不了这些人甚至这个社会,所以他才选择反抗,选择不去做一个所谓的“好孩子”来与这个世界的主流价值观作对。

他其实并不坏。他看尽这世间的冷暖世故,却依旧保持着一颗善良纯真的心。被开除后不想让有心脏病的母亲伤心,决定在她接到信后晚几天等她心情平复后再回去;在车站遇到两个修女,他硬是要捐出十元,而他身上的钱其实并不多;在街上看到菲苾喜欢的唱片就买下来带回家给菲苾,在墓地为人们下雨时可以?躲避淋雨,死去的弟弟艾里却不能而感到不公,在博物馆等菲苾时想要赶紧擦掉墙上的不文明字眼……

霍尔顿很喜欢孩子。他喜欢弟弟艾里,他憎恨很多人却止不住的赞美艾里的长相机灵与聪明能干;他喜欢他的妹妹菲苾,他在决定去西部小木屋里度过一生后只对菲苾说了实话。霍尔顿喜欢看孩子们的笔记,喜欢和妹妹交流谈话,会带着两个逃课的小学生找到放木乃伊的场所。在面对孩子时,他不再说脏话,完全没有了坏孩子的模样。他一定是不想破坏孩子们天生具有的真诚,不想让他们纯洁的内心受到污染。能有这样美好的想法,想来霍尔顿的心里也住着一位洁白如天使般的孩子,但我们忘了他自己本身也还只是个十六岁的孩子,只不过太早接触这个社会罢了。

霍尔顿的梦想是去当一个麦田里的守望者,一个静静看着孩子们玩耍的守望者,一个防止孩子们掉下悬崖的守望者,我想他不仅仅是想保护那些无忧无虑在麦田里玩耍的孩子,更是想守住他们身上的纯真,也是想守住自己心中的那份在纷乱社会中仅剩的那一点最真实的、最美好的、发自内心的纯真。

“长大是人必经的溃烂”。我们需要变得成熟,但这并不意味着要失去孩童般的纯真。守望住心中的纯真吧,趁它还未被这个社会偷走,别让自己长大后只是成为一个无趣的成年人。

别忘了我们都还只是孩子。

Elizabeth resourcefulness, have courage, visionary, have very strong self-respect, and be good at thinking. It is because of this quality, just make her have independent opinion on the emotional problems, and prompted her and the darcy composition content family.

Books as the name implies, pride and prejudice, and in the book is male leading the obstacle of the love, but in the real society is also a communication barriers between people, but also in the right attitude towards themselves, treat things in a stumbling block. In real life, we will also often because of his unilateral idea but myself with others, so we have to overcome the "pride and prejudice", take the initiative to understand others. Each person actually are easy to be driven by their own subjective impression, and therefore easy to incorrect comment on other people, thus caused the misunderstanding between each other. A man give first impression is can affect many things, but not must not change, want to have a more in-depth understanding, in order to have a more objective point argument, just like the heroine of the story of darcys view, is because understanding just change. The book reaction of social reality is so hit the nail on the head, she is about marriage, has nothing to do with love.

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。正是由于这种品质,才使她在情感问题上有独立的主见,并促使她与达西组成美满的家庭。

书如其名,傲慢偏见,在书中是男女主角爱情上的障碍,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。在现实生活中,我们也会经常因为自己单方面的想法而是自己与他人隔开,所以我们要克服“傲慢与偏见”,主动了解他人。每一个人其实都很容易被自己的主观印象所驱使,因而容易对别的人下不正确的注解,进而造成了彼此之间的误会。一个人所给予的第一印象固然可以影响到很多事,但并非一定不会改变,要有更加深入的了解,才能有更客观一点的论点,就好像故事中女主角对达西的看法,就是因为了解才有所改变。此书反应的社会现实确是如此一针见血,她讲的是婚姻,与爱情无关。

篇16:麦田里的守望者读后感

首先 ,我想说:这是我第二次没有把写读书心得当做负担。为一部自己喜欢的不得了的书写一篇洋洋洒洒的读后感,这样的感觉挺好的。

读这本书 ,是因为:今年过年回来,心还是很浮躁,不能马上投入到学习中。听学姐无意中提到此书《麦田里的守望者》被认为是全世界无数彷徨年轻人心灵的慰藉,道出了千万青少年的心声。于是,去“图批”买了一本回来。

看到《麦田里的守望者》这个抽象的书名,我以传统思维模式给它勾勒出这样一个轮廓:以自身经历穿插深奥隐晦的道理,向读者传输自己看待人生的方式。然而,从翻开这本书的第一页起,那连篇的脏字,真让我一时接受不了,离我之前勾勒的轮廓相差甚远。但又发现,这本书的形式和内容都很出色。

这本书是塞格林唯一一部长篇小说,却对美国社会和文学都产生了极为重要的影响。《纽约时报》的书评写道:在美国,阅读《麦田里的守望者》就像毕业生要获得倒是的首肯一样重要!故事发生在霍尔顿离开学校的三天时间内。此处,我以第一人称描述。以便更加形象的描述主人公的内心世界。

美国五十年代是一个相当混乱的时期,二战的阴云尚未散去,冷战烟硝又起。一方面,科技发展迅速。而另一方面,人们缺乏理想,意志消沉,在自己无力改变的社会大背景下,过着浑浑噩噩的生活。于是,“垮掉的一代”出现了。“我”就是其中一员。“我”被学校开除,为了在星期三回家,就在纽约街头鬼混: 抽烟、喝酒、去夜总会、大把花钱,碰上各种形形色色的人,干了这个年纪的人想干的所有的事。然而,看似潇洒刺激的生活,却掩藏不住内心的极度空虚和精神上的寂寞。让我自己也很惊讶的是,读这样一本书,竟然有多次流泪的冲动。 我不得不说,这本书写的实在是太真实了。我不由自主的想痛哭,当别人问我在哪儿上学,我对在读学校的感觉跟“我”对潘西的感觉如出一辙,我觉得自己那如墨汁一般经年累月终于沉淀安静下来。曾一度被遗忘的难过与寂寞的感受,被“我”的经历又一下子荡漾起来,弥散到整个身心,浓浓的化不开……我所有成长苦痛和阅历就凝缩在了“我”流浪的这几天中。

是的,要说最真实的我。就像书中的“我”一样:厌恶一切阿谀奉承,虚伪做作的嘴脸。最渴望的就是到一个,谁都不认识的地方。装作一个又聋又哑的人,省去蠢而无用的交流。但是,我们是一群生活在新时代的人,自己已经习惯了困惑和烦恼。我们应该集中精神,看准我们的前方,我们的路。我们应该是一群有理想、有抱负的人。

另外,书中菲比的天真纯粹真让我喜欢。在书的最后几章,就是菲比带着猎鹿描抱着旅行箱说要和“我”一起走的时候,我真的太想哭了,我多么希望菲比永远也不要长大,我常常觉得孩子不长大该多好。成长会让他们和“我”(我)一样经历痛苦、矛盾、失望,然后学会做人。想想那该多可怕? 可是,我又无法阻止他们的成长,就像“我”最终还是没能去成一心向往的西部的某个地方……

孩子,提到孩子。是的,我们的人生才刚刚开始,纵然生活让我们这代人有些迷惘和彷徨。但,一切不过是暂时的,不久都会过去。我们现在需要的,就是在我们女院好好学习。

可是……

为什么,为什么希望就在明天。而我,却也是那么渴望做个麦田里的守望者。

在图书馆里,我无意中发现了一本很薄的书,名字叫《麦田里的守望者》,在我拿起这本书时,我没有想到这一本书会对我产生这么大的影响,使我感触很深,我觉得这本书的形式和内容都很出色。

美国的五十年代是一个相当混乱的时期,二战的阴云尚未散去,冷战硝烟又起。一方面科技发展迅速,而另一方面,人们缺乏理想,意志消沉,在自己无力改变的社 会大背景下,过着混混噩噩的生活。于是,"垮掉的一代"出现了,霍尔顿就是其中的一员,他抽烟酗酒,不求上进,但是,他还不至于沦落到吸毒,群居的地步, 因为在他心底,一直还存有美丽而遥远的理想——做一个"麦田里的守望者"。

我们生活的这个国度,这个时代正处于巨大的变革之中,一切都在日新月异的发展。从某种意义上说,这与50年代的美国确实有些相象。社会不断进步,人们的思 想观念也在发生变化,很多人开始迷茫,消沉,他们逐渐遗忘自己的理想,没有了最初的热情,开始向往平庸。酒吧、卡拉OK、棋牌室开始人流如潮,网吧、游戏 机房中学生不断,所谓新新人类疯狂地迷恋上了摇头丸、K粉等毒品……

我们是一群生活在新时代的新生力量,自然已经习惯了困惑和烦恼,但是我们应该集中精神看准我们的前方,我们的路,我们应该是一群有理想有抱负的人,从小我 们就对自己的未来充满憧憬,想当科学家、医生、护士、老师……假如霍尔顿没有他纯洁的理想,那他就会堕落到底,是他的理想让他活下来。难道我们年轻人就该 让生活变得如此混沌?是的,理想是人的指路明灯,它带着人走向未来,走向光明,我们的人生才刚刚开始,纵然生活让我们这代人有些迷惘和彷徨,但一切不过是 暂时的,不就都会过去,我们现在最需要的,就是我们的理想。

是的,有理想就有希望,希望就在明天,明天会更美好!把握好自己的生活,明天必定会是金碧辉煌!

In reality, though he failed, but in spirit, he is the winner. Here, the old man is not only represents a person, but to represent a force, a kind of spirit, that is to let a person admire perseverance, the spirit of never yielding. I also very admire the novel old fishermans will, he let me know how a man must be strong, cant meet the frustration is losing, that will never be a one thing.

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。

这本书讲了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84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。

读完这篇小说,我发现,老人的故事不仅象征着人与自然的关系,而且象征着整个人类坚不可摧的精神。在现实中,他虽然失败了,但在精神上,他却是胜利者。在这里,老人不仅仅是代表着一个人,而是代表了一股力量,一种精神,那是让人敬佩的坚韧不拔,永不服输的精神。我也十分佩服小说中老渔夫的意志,他让我懂得了一个人一定要坚强,不能遇到一点挫折就败退,这样永远也做不成一件事。

篇19:追风筝的人英文读后感

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.
