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。

“不管怎样,我老是在想象,有那么一群小孩子在一大块麦田里做游戏……我的职务就是在那里守望……我只想当一个麦田里的守望者……”——霍尔顿

读完了《麦田里的守望者》一书,一个少年形象出现在我的脑海中——他是大人们眼中的坏孩子,因为他所作的、所想的一切都“不像话”,他的成绩也是那样的糟糕,几乎没有人喜欢他……他就是全书的主人公——霍尔顿。

他的讨厌周围肮脏的世界——他讨厌伪君子,讨厌周围的虚假的人,却又不得不跟他们交往;他讨厌电影,却不得不在无所事事的时候去那里消磨时间……霍尔顿没有真正好的朋友,只有肮脏的“阿克莱”、表里不一的斯特拉德莱塔等室友,但他又不得不跟他们交往,他厌恶他们,却又无奈,他无法改变现状。他不想和他们同流合污,成绩自然会很差。他看不惯周围的世道,所以他苦闷、踌躇、彷徨,自己的心事也只能被自己扛着。

霍尔顿一直都希望自己可以变得很勇敢,但是实际却是他一直都很胆小,被别人欺负后只能在做白日梦的时候幻想着可以把他打败,他连一个瘦弱的女人都制服不了,更何况别人呢?他被学校开除后,都不敢贸然回家,蹑手蹑脚地回去还一定要躲避着父母。他一直都在用一些不切实际的幻想安慰自己,却没有胆量去做真正意义上的叛逆。

他是青春期的少年代表,从他的经历里可以清楚的看到与家长的代沟,家长总希望他像哥哥一样可以成为出人头地的人,可是他的理想也只是做一个麦田里的守望者,站在悬崖上,捉住不断奔跑的孩子。大人总认为霍尔顿是一个败家子,是一个不良少年。但他有自己的思想,在他那半成熟的心中还存留着点点梦想,即使它在那污浊的世道变得那样的细微渺小。

霍尔顿是明智的,是聪明的,他看透了社会的本质。他的朴素和善良,是他所在的年代很少的,虽然他的有些思想还比较幼稚,虽然他有许许多多的缺点,但他反抗现实、向往美好世界的纯洁的一面是不可忽视的。

作者借助笔下的霍尔顿,活灵活现的展现了自己的想法,用一个处于青春期的孩子的口吻讲述了一个关于那所谓“叛逆”的想法,讲述了成熟与不成熟之间的过渡,大人与青春期少年之间的代沟。

霍尔顿的那个只想做一个麦田里的守望者的梦想,那个为了不让小孩子掉下悬崖而站在悬崖边救孩子的形象,那个纯洁无私的想法,天真幼稚却又些许成熟的心事,渐渐放大……

A Tale of Two Cities is one of Dickens’s masterpieces; the story is an exposure of the contradiction before France Revolution-the appealing of “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity” by France lower class.

The main clue of the novel is based on the terrible experience of Dr. Manette, the plot is very complex, attracting, and exciting. Lying at the heart of which we can see the themes from different people.

Sydney Carton

When I read the chapter pertaining to interrogation on Charles Darney, intuition tells that the lawyer assistant who feels at ease with his eyes fixed on the ceiling must be a very special man, which turned out to be right when I finished the whole book. He seems indifferent about everything, even his love. He is brilliant but he thinks otherwise, or rather, he thinks he is inferior to others. Even his master thinks that if he worried about this or that, he would make a great success. Feeling of humbleness is the fatal point leading the loss of his beloved one. If Lucie Manette lives with him, he thinks, she would sustain much hardship. At the end of the story, he sacrifices his life for his love willingly.

Many people say that love is selfish and egocentric, but the temperament of Sydney Carton tells us that love can be sublime and pure. Through this, Dickens tells us loving someone doesn’t mean you should live together with him or her. You can help your beloved one silently, even sacrifice for love. This is universal fraternity, I think, which is the sublimation of normal love. And also, Dickens may indicate that true love really exists, regardless of the situation is full of commotion or not.

Charles Darney

He’s born at a family of royal lineage-the son of Marquis. Regret and abomination fill in his mind for the cruelty and the crime his family have done to the poor. He determines to quit the right of inheritance of his family and moves to England to acting as a French teacher. When he comes back to France, his notorious and sadistic uncle who holds the succession of the family doesn’t welcome him. His uncle is doomed to death because of his cruelty. When he returns to England, he proposes marriage to Lucie Manette. He knows his proposal may not be accepted by Dr.Manette, for he is the son of the enemy of Dr.Manette. After the France Revolution breaks out, he returns to France again to save a servant. But unfortunately, he’s cast into prison.

Lucie Manette

She goes to France with Jarvis Lorry to take her father back, she shows great sympathy to Sydney Carton, and she prayed his husband would get an early deliverance from captivity.

She is a kind-hearted lady made of love and sympathy; she is also the incarnation of elegance.

Dr.Manette

As a victim of the gloom society, he lives a miserable and contradictory life. After releasing from prison, the only thing he does is making shoes, which become worse when he comes across a harsh situation. He loves his daughter just as she does to him, even when he knows that Charles Darney is the son of his enemy, he allow the proposal. And when he notices his daughter was totally down to know the fact that her husband was put into prison, he promise to her that he will rescue him out. He spares no effects to do that, in vain, though.

From this person, Dickens may tells that love between the lower-class family members are as pure as crystal.

Jarvis Lorry

An elderly manager at Tellsons Bank and a dear friend of Dr. Manette. He is very loyal to Dr. Manette. He accompanies them all the time without considering his own life.

Couple Defarge

They’re the leader of the revolution. Ernest Defarge, to some extent, is a good man. He was the servant of Dr.Manette, he provides accommodation for him. But his wife, Madame Defarge, is really a wicked woman. She knits all the time, she wants to kill all the people who lead a richer or happier life just out of envying and revenge. The result turns out to be dramatic: she’s killed by herself as a consequence that the gun goes off by accident.

Resurrection maybe is the main theme in the novel. Dickens here implied that he doesn’t agree the upper class treat the poor badly, meanwhile, he doesn’t agree the lower-class to overthrow the upper class. He hopes that they can live in harmony with each other. Underneath the lines, Dickens wants his readers to be careful that the same sort of revolution that so damaged France wont happen in Britain, which is shown to be nearly as unjust as France. But his warning is addressed not to the British lower classes, but to the aristocracy. He repeatedly uses the metaphor of sowing and reaping; if the aristocracy continues to plant the seeds of a revolution through behaving unjustly, they can be certain of harvesting that revolution in time. The lower classes do not have any agency in this metaphor: they simply react to the behavior of the aristocracy. In this sense it can be said that while Dickens sympathizes with the poor, he identifies with the rich: they are the books audience, its "us" rather than its "them". Crush humanity out of shape once more, under similar hammers, and it will twist itself into the same tortured forms. Sow the same seed of rapacious license and oppression over again and it will surely yield the same fruit according to its kind.

To Live Happily All the Time

——about “Three Men in A Boat”

Most fairy tales end like this:“They live happily ever after.” But to George, Harris and J, “ever after” is far from enough. Their belief is to live happily ALL THE TIME. Who are these three guys? They are the “bestest” pals from a humorous English book — Three Men in A Boat.

Just take a look at these three funny guys: You can meet them anywhere at any time. All of them have great aspirations and plenty of passion. But in the morning, none of them like to wake up early. All of them want to be great explorers. But on rainy days, they all prefer to stay by the warm fireplace. Yes, it’s our Harris, George and J. And now, they are taking a vacation on the famous Thames.

They started off in a little boat, which none of them would like to drive. They kept explaining that they didn’t come out for fun—they were taking a rest because of some so called “dreadful disease”。 When they were traveling, they couldn’t stop making jokes on others. When they were cooking, they couldn’t stop the eggs from getting on their pans. when they finally gave up the boat and went home by train, they still couldn’t stop telling each other how clever it was to be “three men out of boat”……

Such a simple story has brought me lots of laugher and thoughts. I laughed over their funny troubles and funny talkings all along the trip. And also I found that I came to admire them after laughing each time. Because when they met something in trouble, or their own complicated jobs came, first, they would burst into laughter at once, and then started to solve the problem slowly with partience and happiness. Sometimes I was surprised by them. Because something that happens in our daily life such as losing the wallet, or a bad weather, will make every one of us complain and be upset for long. But how about the three men in the boat? They will certainly laugh at it first! They giggle, they grin, they smile. They have taught me how to laugh at trouble, to smile at hard work, and to laugh away tears. It’s a good way to face my blue days. As a student, I always complain about my homework, my parents, and my classmates. But George, Harris and J told me: there’s no point in complaining. Just face your life and try to find the good side of everything. And also remember to cherish friendship—like the three of them.

Yes, yes. Sometimes they seemed to be “cynical” or “lazy”。 But the fire of live, diligence, and happiness is burning in their hearts all the time. To them, the so called “dreadful disease” is only an excuse for their going out to relax. To them, all the trouble is the chance to use both patience and laughter. To them, all the hard work is the gift from God to make them stronger and happier.

Don’t just stare at the “happy ending” of “living happily every after”。 Think about the three men in the boat. They are common guys like you and me. But they are all very great—They have the ability to make themselves live happily ALL THE TIME.

篇7:《奥林匹克》英文读后感

The Olympic Games, which originated in ancient Greece, is the most distinguished sporting event in the world. Once every four years, the utmost athletes from all around are lured to gather together and spare no efforts to compete against each other and try to win a medal for the country that they represent. Frankly speaking, that was virtually all I knew about the world-famous Olympic Games before I had read a book entitled The Olympics published by Foreign Language Teaching and Research Press. However, I found even more philosophy beyond just winning medals from reading the book, which was beyond my imagination and considerably inspiring.

Someone once said, “Were everybody on earth involved in some kind of sport, our world would be free of war for long.” Starting from three thousand years ago, the ancient Olympic Games has long been an event not only for competition but also for peace. In ancient times, no war was allowed between the cities during the Games, which was rather surprising to me since I could hardly imagine warriors actally putting down their weapons and give a break for peace. The precious tradition of peace continued: I would never fail to recall the scene of the opening ceremonies when North and South Korean athletes entering the stadium with their hands held together. The two neighboring countries that used to be enemies are no longer enemies during the Games. Instead they became friends. Speaking of the XX Athens Olympics, perhaps most people would have the same opinion that the most noable part of the opening ceremony arrived when Iraqi and Afghan representatives showed up. These two unfortunate nations, the people of which have undergone innumerable wars, are coming back again to take their own responsibility in world sports after recent invasions by America. The fearless people of Iraq and Afghanistan are once more sharing the spirit of the Games with people from the rest of the world.

There is another story in this book that makes me deep in thoughts. There is no doubt that the most unusual Olympic Games ever in history is the 1936 Olympics held in Germany, which was then ruled by the Nazi Party. Led by Adolf Hitler, the Nazi believed that the so-called Aryan people were superior to all others in all aspects. They looked down upon Jews and blacks, the latter of which was a major constitution of the United States Olympic team. Despite the barrier that faced him, the African American Jesse Owens, who was a most outstanding runner and jumper, did all that he could and finally won gold medals for his country and went home a hero. This reveals another fact that no power on earth is able to hinder the sacred Olympic Games. For all participants, no matter what their gender, race, nationalities and backgrounds are, equality is distributed among every one who observes the Game’s rules.

At the XX Athens Olympics, our Chinese team did extraordinarily well. We ranked second on the medal lists for the first time in history. In my opinion, however, we should not only concentrate on the figure of medals; instead the strength and perseverance of those who failed to get any medals ought to be highly cherished. Whether ever success or failure, whether ever cheer or tear, whether ever medal or not, the never-gave-up spirits of athletes are always motivating us. I believe in the year 2008, the world will focus all their attention to Beijing, China, where the glory of the Games will continue to thrive forever!

篇8:《格列佛游记》英文读后感

全文共 3924 字

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" .

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!

导语:《黑骏马》是一部来自草原深处的博爱与情殇。 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!

“Animals deserve our kindness, sympathy and understanding,” that is what Anna Sewell-the author of Black Beauty-wanted to convince her readers。 Thanks to Sewell, I now think about the animal-human relationship from both the human and the animal’s point of view。

The inspiration for Anna Sewell’s novel was drawn from her own relationship with horses。 Anna Sewell was born on March 20th, 1820 in Norfolk, England and was crippled while still very young。 Due to her disability, she relied on horse-drawn carriages and grew to love horses as a result。 She also became appalled by the careless and cruel treatment horses often received from humans and determined to write a book。。 In the second year of work on the book, she was told that she had only eighteen months to live, but she persevered in order “to induce kindness, sympathy and an understanding [of the ] treatment of horses。” Five years later, she was still working on Black Beauty, her only book。 Unfortunately, Sewell died a few months after publication and never learned of the book’s huge success。 Black Beauty formed an impassioned plea for animal rights at a time when such a notion had been dismissed as ridiculous。

The novel portrayed the real condition of working horses living in Britain during the Victorian Era。 In that time period, the wealthy thought that their horses were treated well because they never stepped into the stable。 In order to call people’s attention to horses’ hard life, Sewell tells the story through the first-person narrative voice of a horse。 This innovative personification of an animal made the book a real success。 Readers heard the stories straight from the horse’s mouth, literally, as an animal spoke of extremes of joy and suffering。 People were shocked by the truth exposed by the novel and changed their attitudes towards animals。

Sewell formed the novel with three kinds of characters: Black Beauty, Ginger and other farm animals。 Through their different experiences, I saw similarly painful lives led by the animals。 This method made the earnest appeal for animal rights become more and more persuasive。

As a domestic animal, Black Beauty was continuously sold from one family to another。 Over the years Beauty enjoyed good masters but also endured mean ones。 Sometimes, he was cared for and at other times tortured。 In the end, everything turns out all right in a story that is so tender and yet meaningful。 His story was so vivid that caught the readers’ heart。 The novel brought people laughter and tears and also enlightened them to understand animals at the same time。

Animals cannot speak so understanding is significant to them。 Once,for example, Beauty was drawing the carriage to a wooden bridge。 The bridge was flooded out in the river and John, the groom, was not aware that it was cracked。 But the quickly realized that something was wrong because of Beauty’s abnormal behavior。 Momentarily, a man shouted to them, “Stop! Stop!…The bridge is broken in the middle。 If you come across, you’ll fall in the river!” Beauty had saved John。 However, if John had not tried to understand what Beauty wanted to tell him, there would definitely have been an accident。 I learnt from the story that understanding animals is not only essential to them but is also beneficial to us ourselves。

Today I have read Helen Keller’s “Three Days to See”.I have read this article in the chinese teaching material when I was in high school.This article impressed me.It told me how lucky we are.We should aprrecaite that we are healthy.Healthiness is riches.So today I read this article again.Whenever I read this article,compare with Helen Keller,I think we should treasure our life,god has given us sight so we can see a lot of good things,so we can know how beautiful this world is,so we can know how wonderful we can live in our coloreful life.

Helen Keller,blind and deaf from infancy.Stricken with a serious illness at the age of nineteen months,Keller survived from the illness but was left permanently unable to see and hear.In this article,three day of sight,we can see,how precious it was as for Helen Keller.What would you want to look at if you had only three days of sight?Helen gives her answer in this famous essay.I always think that people can realize the importance of the sight and sound only after they have personally expericenced the dark and silence life.Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight,silence would teach him the joys of sound.

This short story tell people how Keller take advantage of having the privileges to see,hear,and speak.Some people,unfortunately,are blind,deaf,and mute.These unfortunate people take more time to appreciate life and they are always waiting for the miracle all their life.The author,Helen Keller,is one of such person who is blind,deaf,and mute.She strongly believes that people,who are fortunate to have such senses,take life for granted.She also strongly believes these people should live in the fullest,meaning,accomplish lifes when they can do this today,do not leave it for tomorrow.

One can die at any moment,no matter how healthy or in what physical shape he is.As for this,Helen came across many instances.She had asked her friend what she had seen after taking a walk through the woods,and her friend replied,“Nothing in particular.” Her friend gave she this answer,because her friend become accustomed to see the routine of their surroundings,and her eyes only can be attracted by startling and spectacular things.I think if we only have sight for 3 days we will give another answer.

I appreciate Hellen Keller.Her life is a miracle,she stronly face the difficulties which can detroy one’s mind of living.Her life is a tragedy,but the world in her heart is full of love.Her spirit will encourage all of us,forever.

Its a short story by O.Henry that has moved me for a long time.Maybe most of you are familar with its name,that is,The Gift of the Magi.I have read it many times but every time I like to read it slowly and deliberately.I think "The Gift of the Magi"

is meant to be savored.

Maybe there is no necessity for me to repeat the main idea of the story.But Im

so fascinated with the short story that I want to retell it yo you,and to myself.

It happened to a very poor but blissful young couple named Jim and Della in the end of 18th century in England.Because of the maladies of that society and the effect of economic crisis,they worked hard but earned little.Life is very hard for them.Despite of this,their love to each other and the enthusiasm for life didnt changed at all.When Chrismas day was approuching ,Della used the money she got from selling her beautiful hair which she treasured very much to give Jim a fob for his grandfathers pocket watch.But Jim had already sold that watch to buy Della tortoiseshell combs to wear in her long hair,not knowing shed cut it off.

It appears that the gifts they gave each other have been useless.But I think they gave each other the best of what they had to make the other happy.Isnt that true love?We can image,in such rough conditions,as it said in the story,"Life is made up of sobs,sniffles,and smiles,with sniffles predominating."Itst absolute reasonable for them to be beaten by the misery.But the fact is that no matter how tough life had been,they wouldt lose heart.With strong faith and their love ,they did their best to make the other pleased."Whennever Mr. James came home and reached his flat ,above he was called Jimand greatly hugged by Mrs. James."Maybe this account is the best description of their love and struggle against hard life.It was said that the povertier life is ,the firmer and truer love is."Actually,theyd given the very best they had out of love.

"They are too foolish children in a flat,who most unwisely sacrificed for each other the greatest treasures of their house.But in a last word,to the wise of these days,let it be said that of all who give gifts these two were the wisest."Said the writer in the last paragraph.Yes,they are wisest.They are the magi.Are there any reasons for us not to show respect for the young couple?

I remind my grandparents.They have spent fifty years together.No romantic words,no stirring behaviours,just comman even pedestrian life.But I can say love exists in every detail of their life.They have gone through war period,three years natural disasters,cultural revolution and so on.But no matter what happens,they are always considering for the other.Even now both of them have become old step by step,they still cared about each other.My grandparents,in my opinion,is a pair of lovers forever.

Love has nothing to do with money,possession or status.Its consideration,tolerance and respect.Its giving ones best to the other even it means sacrifice.Its affection which connects two persons hearts,and its reinforced by adversities.

Struggle against adversities.Nothing did they have,at least they owened love.Never give up as long as love exists.From"The Gift of the Magi",from Jim and Della and from my grandparents,I have learned a lot about love,life and hope.

每一个人都有一段无法忘却的岁月,太多的敏感、偏执、荒唐、颓废、甜蜜与欢乐,使日子变得寂寞又温暖。站在一望无际的碧绿色麦田中,我想起了一个曾经的坏孩子――霍尔顿。

我有段时间总是那么烦躁,会因父母一句话而暴跳如雷,会因朋友的一个动作而伤心欲绝。后来我渐渐明白,那段时光,叫做青春。霍尔顿就是在那个时候突然闯进我的世界。他剪一个干净的水兵发型,却满头褐色乱发,邪邪的样子,有些迷人。

霍尔顿读书的地方叫潘西,一个私立的贵族学校。在这之前他还上过艾尔敦?希尔斯学校。那儿有一个非常势力的校长名叫哈斯先生。到了星期天,哈斯先生见到开了汽车来接孩子的家长就跑来跑去和他们握手,要是学生的父母穿的粗俗又朴素,那老哈斯就只和他们握一下手,然后假惺惺一笑,接着就和别的父母去讲话。青春的日子里,快乐和痛苦很容易被放大,刺激着我们敏感的神经,我们总是会因为这点或那点而不满或愤怒。霍尔顿受不了这样的环境,于是选择了逃离,戴着自己的猎人帽拎着行李想要去往西部。

在临走前,他想要再见见自己的妹妹菲?。于是托人送去一张便条,约在博物馆旁边。过了好一会儿,菲?终于来了,她拖着霍尔顿在胡敦读书时用的旧箱子装满了行李决心与哥哥一同离开。霍尔顿没办法,只好放弃了去西部。青春就是这样,充满了叛逆霸道却一心想要离开,最后在种种的牵绊下放弃了目的。

文中有一段让人印象深刻的话:“一个不成熟男子的标志是他愿意为某种事业英勇地死去,一个成熟男子的标志是他愿意为诶某种事业卑贱地活着。”我们可能很难相信这句话出自一个老师之口,但的的确确是这样,那时候学校里的老师大部分都是势力的伪君子,他们认为为了苟延残喘地活着不惜一切的人是成熟的,为了某种精神或理想的人是可笑的。就连孩子们读书,也是为了日后能买辆凯迪拉克之类的东西。霍尔顿曾经同妹妹说,他想要当个麦田里的守望者,守护一群小孩子。相信也有很多人拥有过类似的理想,只是那个理想太过遥远,来不及努力就已经长大。长大意味着放弃,放弃掉有过的美好理想,成为所谓的“成熟男人”,为了某种事业卑贱地活着。这是种痛苦的生活方式,但绝大多数人会为了生活背叛心灵。

最后霍尔顿生了场大病进了医院,至于后来的事,无人知晓。于是留在书中的霍尔顿再也没有长大,我想他依然是那个天真的,单纯的“坏”孩子。

成长似乎是个永恒的话题,有时候,懵懂的我们选择把自己的不满和内心的小叛逆藏匿于心中;有时候,为了迎合社会,我们学会了伪装,学会了恭维,学会了欺骗,学会了送给别人一个个假笑;有时候,为了追逐名利,我们麻痹了自己的内心,封锁住心中真实的想法,用一份份赤裸裸的假模假式包裹自己,竭尽全力不让真实的内心显露于外。我们越是这样做,越是会发现――其实别人都在这么做。

篇14:《简爱》英文读后感

I first read "Jane Eyre" in eighth grade and have read it every few years since. It is one of my favorite novels, and so much more than a gothic romance to me, although thats how I probably would have defined it at age 13. I have always been struck, haunted in a way, by the characters - Jane and Mr. Rochester. They take on new depth every time I meet them...and theirs is a love story for the ages.

Charlotte Brontes first published novel, and her most noted work, is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story. Jane is plain, poor, alone and unprotected, but due to her fierce independence and strong will she grows and is able to defy societys expectations of her. This is definitely feminist literature, published in 1847, way before the beginning of any feminist movement. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the novel has had such a wide following since it first came on the market. It is also one of the first gothic romances published and defines the genre.

Jane Eyre, who is our narrator, was born into a poor family. Her parents died when she was a small child and the little girl was sent to live with her Uncle and Aunt Reed at Gateshead. Janes Uncle truly cared for her and showed his affection openly, but Mrs. Reed seemed to hate the orphan, and neglected her while she pampered and spoiled her own children. This unfair treatment emphasized Janes status as an unwanted outsider. She was often punished harshly. On one occasion her nasty cousin Jack picked a fight with her. Jane tried to defend herself and was locked in the terrifying "Red Room" as a result. Janes Uncle Reed had died in this room a little while before, and Mrs. Reed knew how frightened she was of the chamber. Since Jane is the narrator, the reader is given a first-hand impression of the childs feelings, her heightened emotional state at being imprisoned. Indeed, she seems almost like an hysterical child, filled with terror and rage. She repeatedly calls her condition in life "unjust" and is filled with bitterness. Looking into the mirror Jane sees a distorted image of herself. She views her reflection and sees a "strange little figure," or "tiny phantom." Jane has not learned yet to subordinate her passions to her reason. Her passions still erupt unchecked. Her isolation in the Red Room is a presentiment of her later isolation from almost every society and community. This powerful, beautifully written scene never fails to move me.

Mrs. Reed decided to send Jane away to the Lowood School, a poor institution run by Mr. Brocklehurst, who believed that suffering made grand people. All the children there were neglected, except to receive harsh punishment when any mistake was made. At Lowood, Jane met Helen Burns, a young woman a little older than Jane, who guided her with vision, light and love for the rest of her life. Janes need for love was so great. It really becomes obvious in this first friendship. Helen later died from fever, in Janes arms. Her illness and death could have been avoided if more attention had been paid to the youths. Jane stayed at Lowood for ten years, eight as a student and two as a teacher. Tired and depressed by her surroundings, Jane applied for the position of governess and found employment at Thornfield. The mansion is owned by a gentleman named Edward Fairfax Rochester. Her job there was to teach his ward, an adorable little French girl, Adele. Over a long period the moody, inscrutable Rochester confides in Jane and she in him. The two form an unlikely friendship and eventually fall in love. Again, Janes need for love comes to the fore, as does her passionate nature. She blooms. A dark, gothic figure, Rochester also has a heart filled with the hope of true love and future happiness with Jane. Ironically, he has brought all his misery, past and future, on himself.

All is not as it seems at Thornfield. There is a strange, ominous woman servant, Grace Poole, who lives and works in an attic room. She keeps to herself and is rarely seen. From the first, however, Jane has sensed bizarre happenings at night, when everyone is asleep .There are wild cries along with violent attempts on Rochesters life by a seemingly unknown person. Jane wonders why no one investigates Mrs. Poole. Then a strange man visits Thornfield and mysteriously disappears with Mr. Rochester. Late that night Jane is asked to sit with the man while the lord of the house seeks a doctors help. The man has been seriously wounded and is weak from loss of blood. He leaves by coach, in a sorry state, first thing in the morning. Janes questions are not answered directly. This visit will have dire consequences on all involved. An explosive secret revealed will destroy all the joyful plans that Jane and Rochester have made. Jane, once more will face poverty and isolation.

Charlotte Brontes heroine Jane Eyre, may not have been graced with beauty or money, but she had a spirit of fire and was filled with integrity and a sense of independence - character traits that never waned in spite of all the oppression she encountered in life. Ms. Bronte brings to the fore in "Jane Eyre" such issues as: the relations between men and women in the mid-19 century, womens equality, the treatment of children and of women, religious faith and hypocrisy (and the difference between the two), the realization of selfhood, and the nature of love and passion. This is a powerhouse of a novel filled with romance, mystery and passions. It is at once startlingly fresh and a portrait of the times. Ms. Bronte will make your heart beat faster, your pulse race and your eyes fill with tears.

稻草人,风中默默无语守卫土地的稻草人,一直晃动在我的梦中,每一次我就会发生莫名的感动来。

它守卫着金光闪闪,黄灿灿散发着幽香的小麦,拥挤在斜坡上,舞蹈在岭头上,静默在山坳里。这些栩栩如生的稻草人,在阳光雨露中日夜守护者这片麦田。它们有的披着棉衣,有的穿着破草鞋,有的手握拐棍,有的用茅草扎成人样,有的用简易的木偶来包装,有的像农夫举手撒种,有的瞪着凶神恶煞的眼睛……不是野兽飞鸟看了会胆寒,我看了也会生出几分恐怖感来。

虽稻草人外表凶恶,但是它的内心朴实无华,夜以继日的守卫麦田。它用全部身心将你的希望耕耘,只是那时候,它还不懂痛苦和伤心。它只是痴痴脉脉地庆幸自己是麦田里唯一的守望者,它必然会成为你希望的守护神。

它神气地站得笔直而僵硬,以此来强悍它的造型,恫吓所有侵犯领地的人。它甚至尽力调整自己的身体,伸长它的手臂,驱赶那些聒噪的鸟雀和蚊蝇。风吹、日晒、雨淋、电闪、雷击,虫蚁的啃咬,泥水的侵蚀,都无法动摇它守望的决心。

白天,它顶住酷热,任风把思绪吹起。它看见蓝天和白云在说悄悄话,燕子在它头上蹦跳。夜晚,蟋蟀在鸣唱,小虫在呢喃,青蛙在合奏,流星在它的眼前晃来晃去,夜空神秘的眨着眼睛,猫头鹰目光如炬,警惕着田鼠的来临。夜风吹撒了它一天的辛劳,露珠佛去它满身的疲惫,它日夜兼程,不敢丝毫的懈怠,静静的守护着你的麦田,充满了诗情画意和憧憬。

岁月在它身上凿出千疮百孔,心碎了谁懂,任雪花把它的心丝丝浸透随雪花一起飞走。

它在你锻造的田园里守护,哪怕一如此刻的冰冷与疼痛,它独自守候,任岁月蹉跎,为你守候,无悔,无怨,就这样终其一生。

麦田里的守望者——稻草人,它那无私奉献,默默无语的付出,它那不屈不挠的精神,深深的打动了我幼小的心。

父亲的鱼

“故乡对于我,已是一个朦胧的梦了。”这是《红麦田》中董宏猷先生的故乡,有着雾气飘逸的竹林,缀着露珠的山茶,散发着红薯香气的晒场,以及深山中叮当作响的悠扬的牛铃声……

而我的故乡,是一个不出众的海边小村庄,没有竹林,没有山茶,也没有晒场,更没有牛铃。尽管它是如此平凡,也总会有那么一些人和物让我深深惦记着,或许永远也忘却不了。在海边的故乡,让我一辈子忘却不了的,自然是父亲的鱼。

父亲每次出海都是在天还未亮的凌晨,那时昏暗的天,就连一盏星星也看不到,把大地盖得黑泱泱的。海面上渔船点着灯光,那光一下子逃窜到天边尽头的海水下面,又一下子又沁入了船棱上黑得发潮的帆布上,当儿间又坠入了海底,怎么捞也捞不起来,等到静默时分,又晃的浮了上来,就这样在摇摇晃晃的海面上忽明忽灭。

父亲每次都是在这样的情况下出海打鱼的,而我们兄妹几人也就一直在海边沙滩上苦苦等待父亲的船只的安全归来。有时心中也暗想,等父亲归来时,又是什么鱼会成为我的盘中餐?其味不知鲜美否?故乡的鱼,是极其美味的,况且父亲对鱼的喜爱已经到达了极致,我们家的菜桌上必定是有鱼的一席之地的。

父亲也很会煮鱼,无论是多么腥臭的鱼,只要经由父亲之手,都会成为一道美味佳肴,慢吃的人一般只剩下一些肉末能过过口福了。然而,最慢吃饭的人往往都是父亲。反倒是我们兄妹几人吃得最多。

有时候,让父亲吃鱼肉是一大难事,父亲仿佛只对那鱼骨头情有独钟。而他总是为我们轻轻拨开鱼鳞,挑上一瓣鲜美的鱼肉,送入我们的碗里。有一次,我们故意不吃鱼肉,吃完了米饭便休息了,遭得父亲一顿斥骂,说我们不爱惜粮食,可是我们只是想让父亲多吃一点而已,那是他最爱的鱼啊,这么多年来,父亲辛苦操劳,却不曾好好品味他自己亲手捕捞、亲手烹制的美味的鱼!

搬离故乡已经好多年了,而父亲也早已不打鱼了。尽管现在的菜桌上仍然还会有父亲亲手烹制的鱼,尽管还是一样的美味可口,只是似乎缺少了当年的那种在海边苦苦等待父亲归航后一起吃鱼的满足与幸福。

今天,我们的语文老师给我们读了她写的几篇文章,有写她学生的故事,也有写她老师的故事。当老师读到她与她的陈老师时,我想起了我小学五年级时的班主任—王兰王老师。

记得刚分班的时候,对于新一级的各个班的班主任,同学们议论纷纷,有人说,二班的班主任很严格,我当时祈祷不要分到二班,果然,我分到了三班。当时我因没有分到二班而庆幸,可令我万万没想到的是—三班的班主任更严!

我们三班的班主任是王兰老师,她教语文,她的身材比较娇小,戴着眼镜,额头上有几丝岁月的沧桑,乍眼一看,确实是挺严格的。

她说她喜欢读书,她也希望我们能够培养爱读书的习惯,于是从开学第一天起,她就从学校图书馆给我们借书,让我们阅读。半个学期,我们总共读了将近七本书。她还在每天午读时为我们讲书,她耐心的读了一年,这一年,我们增长了知识,陶冶了情操。

她说要“学会做人,学会做事,学会共处,学会学习”。令我记忆犹新的是一次教室内的图书柜打开了,老师问,没人说自己打开过,为此,她大发雷霆……

事情是这样的:那是一个天气炎热的下午,伴随着朗朗的读书声,我们的语文课开始了,可是,令我们万万没想到的是,她“啪”的一声敲了下桌子,指着教室后面角落里孤单的敞开着的书柜门吼道:“那门为什么没有关住?”我们齐刷刷的向后看去,那书柜所在的地方,像是被遗忘的角落,没有人注意过它。教室里鸦雀无声,老师的心情好像比刚才缓和了许多,她再次指着书柜门问道:“谁把它打开的?”还是没有人回答,她双手按在讲台上,沉默了良久,也许是凤的缘故,书柜的门抖了一下。就这样,一直在沉默着,班里静的连呼吸声都可以听到,我的内心有很多不安和恐慌:“从来没有见老师发这么大的火,到底是谁啊,不管是谁,把书柜门光上不就行了吗,哎。”终于,老师打破了这压抑的气氛“虽然我不知道是谁打开的,但是我希望我的学生是诚实的孩子,现在,学会做人是首要的,你们只学习好,没有好的品格,还是没用的。”

老师的一番话,使我顿悟,她犹如黑暗中的指路灯,指引着我们这些迷途的羔羊;她犹如灯塔,照亮我们前进的道路;她犹如清水,洗涤着我们的心灵,灌输给我们源源不断的做人的知识。

虽然有时她很严厉,但是她更多的是以慈爱的面容陪我们这些幼苗度过了小学的最后一年。

记得那是冬天,天气变温很快,有不少同学都感冒了,我的那位老师买了几把暖壶,让班里供应上热水,不必再让同学们大老远跑到楼下去。另外,她还在办公室准备上了一些感冒药。这一举动,深深的触动着我们的心灵。

在上初中的时候,毕业那天,我们彼此都留下了珍贵的眼泪,它承载着我们一年的回忆与感动。那毕业照,我依然把它珍藏着……

初三时,我见过老师一面,我叫了一声老师,她竟没认出我来,熟思一下,“呵呵,都长那么高了啊,真是女大十八变啊,最近学习怎么样?”“嗯,还算可以吧,老师近来工作可还顺心,像我们那一级调皮捣蛋的多吗?”我笑着问道,“你们可让我费了不少心啊,哈哈哈……”

再见老师时,老师明显憔悴了不少,想来是工作让老师费了不少心,哎,年与时驰,意与日去,遂成枯落,只祈祷上天不要夺走老师的笑容,不要令皱纹爬上老师的面颊。

用语言播种,用粉笔耕耘,用汗水浇灌,用心血滋润,麦田里的守望者在默默坚守……

“我只想做一个麦田里的守望者,看着四处玩耍的孩子们,若是有谁跑近悬崖,我就抓他回来。”我当初完全不懂霍尔顿,因为理解不了一个半大孩子那愤怒而敏感的内心。后来发现好多人在与成长殊死搏斗时,都是一个片面的他,我也一样。

那时年轻的生活像一场让人躁动不安的舞会,灯光之下,肉体之间,或无所适从,或放浪不羁。大战之后,从未有过的富足与空虚碰撞在一起,夹缝中的青年汹涌着骄傲与无助。“我曾经毁了我的一切,只为永远地离开;我曾经堕入无边黑暗,想挣扎却无法自拔。”用这句歌词去形容那时青年的迷茫,竟是分外的贴切。

霍尔顿之所以被推崇成一个类似于英雄的存在,是因为他能看透当时社会的虚伪性并能够用语言和行动对其酣畅淋漓地讽刺和批判。虽然他最后不免失败,整个潜逃计划也像是一场闹剧,但这短短的三天浪荡生活已让他对虚伪的认知无比深刻。他的成功不在于顺利逃脱束缚,而在于用自己熔炉般的形象去为众多原型提供一个精神家园。

霍尔顿显然不能是一个榜样,但他却是我们自己。他代替我们去逃避,去批判,去大声咒骂。他有时无畏,有时软弱,有时也不顾一切地想要毁灭。他热爱,他憎恶,他偶尔也用自己的全力去适应社会。他做了我们想做却做不出的事情时,我们为他欢呼;他心头遇冷手足无措时,我们为他心酸。他被虚伪肮脏包围,但他向往守护纯洁真实。看似满纸荒唐言,实则一把辛酸泪。用不了太多深刻,就已是满怀感慨。

霍尔顿的妹妹也是个很重要的角色。她是霍心中至美至真至善的存在,也是那些麦田里玩耍的孩子。因为她的纯洁,更让霍厌恶那社会的肮脏和虚伪并深深恐惧这种纯洁的脆弱。也是因为她,让霍有了希望,并最终回归家庭和社会。这算是原作里面唯一一个充满正能量的人物了。

《麦田里的守望者》不重说教,而是通过一个立体人物的所作所为来让读者产生代入感。与其说这是作者所采用的技巧,不如说这是作者费尽心思所表达出的真实和深刻。也正是因为这种真实和深刻,这本小说才影响了不止一代人的青春。

谢谢塞林格的麦田,谢谢麦田里的守望者。
