英文读后感1
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 don’t 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 people’s 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.
英文读后感2
《项链》是法国作家莫泊桑短篇小说的代表作。《项链》的情节可以说耳熟能详了,它的情节艺术也是脍炙人口的。小说按事件的自然进程叙写,以项链为线索展开情节。梦项链、借项链、失项链、赔项链、发现项链是假的——前一个矛盾的解决预示着新的冲突,直至发展到高潮。整个故事波澜起伏,引人入胜。情节的安排显示了作者独特精巧的艺术构思,人物的性格也在故事的发展中逐渐得以展示。
小说一开始,在我们面前出现了一个整日耽于梦想的美丽忧郁的妇女。她“美丽”,“丰韵”,“娇媚”,她还有“天生的聪明,优美的资质,温柔的性情”。正是因为“她也是一个美丽动人的姑娘”,于是她心里就凭添了几许不平与委屈。此处的“也”就很值得玩味。如果比较一下有无“也”的表达效果,就会发现一个有趣的现象:许多版本里的译文里没有“也”字,仅仅“她是一个美丽动人的姑娘”,那就只是一种纯粹的人物介绍。而我们的课文以几种中文译文为基础,并根据法文本校订后出现的“她也是一个美丽动人的姑娘”,就更符合作者的创作意图,更突出主人公的性格。 “窈窕淑女,君子好逑”,这只是玛蒂尔德梦想创造的神话罢了。可是,由于玛蒂尔德面临的现实是:她没有一个好父亲,没有一个好身份,没有一笔陪嫁金,因此就无法找到有身份有地位的好丈夫,只好委委屈屈地嫁给了与她门当户对的小职员路瓦栽。如果她是高老头的千金,定能成为高贵的男爵夫人或伯爵夫人;如果她是守财奴的女儿,拜倒在石榴裙下的亦定难计其数。年轻的玛蒂尔德因为不能过上奢华的生活而整日郁郁寡欢。为了排遣自己的“不幸”和“痛苦”,她找到了一个出口,那便是“梦想”。
正如冰心在她的小诗《繁星》里说到的那样:“梦儿是最瞒不过的啊/清清楚楚的/诚诚实实的/告诉了/你自己灵魂里的蜜意与隐忧。”她的梦境不是太虚幻境,而是当时法国富贵之家奢华的真实生活。由于当时法国的社会现实中,人们疯狂地崇拜金钱,拜金主义的思想如汹涌的浪潮无情地冲击着人们的灵魂、生活、婚姻,于是玛蒂尔德不愿面对现实,直面人生,而把理想寄托在梦境里。无庸置疑,此时,我们可怜的玛蒂尔德已经完全被虚荣心俘虏了。 她变了!十年贫穷生活的磨练,不仅改变了她的容貌,更重要的是改变了她的精神。艰辛的劳动,艰苦的生活,把她从不切实际的幻想的云端拉回到切切实实的地面。站在我们面前的是一个新生的玛蒂尔德。 在对玛蒂尔德肃然起敬的同时,我联想起另一个不幸的女子——包法利夫人。她与玛蒂尔德一样,在平庸的生活与令人窒息的社会环境里寻找梦想的幸福。但玛蒂尔德一夜狂欢后,选择了一条新的人生之路;而她在尽情享受了浪漫的爱情与奢侈的生活,财产荡尽,债务累累之后,没有勇气重新生活,而选择了死亡。两相比较,我不禁为玛蒂尔德喝彩。
人生的际遇只是无数偶然性的连续,事前既无从逆料,事后也很难假设另一种可能。但是回首来路,我们还是情不自禁地设想:如果没丢项链,她现在是怎样一个景况呢?是仍旧每天做白日梦吗?是为了梦想而郁郁寡欢吗?是的,有可能。而丢了项链之后,青春美貌和人格尊严这两个砝码摆在人生的天平上,逼着她作出选择。她决定了,放弃了青春,选择了尊严。人生最重要的一刻就是懂得放弃,尤其是放弃那些最耀眼的、最浮华的、最具诱惑力的东西。那么这“极细小的一件事”是“败坏”了她,还是“成全”了她?豪华的生活的确令玛蒂尔德十分神往,但它不值得我们的玛蒂尔德拿出全部情感和人生尊严去下注。当风华一一过去,她定然知道踏实、恬静的心态是一笔怎样的财富。年轻时因追逐浮华而大喜大悲是多么的可笑可叹,根本没有脚踏实地地奋斗的`人生更令人愿意去回味。 故事发展到这里,我们已经明白,玛蒂尔德为了保全自己的人生尊严付出了巨大的代价,这是不是悲剧呢?
一般认为,玛蒂尔德最初是被强烈得可怕的虚荣心所俘虏;后来面临选择时,她义无返顾地作出了令人惊讶的决定。十年中,她同普通的穷苦妇女一样生活劳动,在生活中找到了自己的位置,这又是多么令人欣喜!再联系结尾,我们同样惊喜地看到我们的玛蒂尔德再度遇见自己的依然年轻美貌的朋友时,脸上露出了灿烂的天真的笑容。这笑是她自信与骄傲的表现。她自信,因为她内心的充实;她骄傲,因为她找到了自己的人生价值。因此,当她听说生活跟她开了一个更残酷的玩笑——项链是假的时,她是会坦然面对的。 因此,我相信,这个小说使读者在悲欢感慨之余,还能对世上的人与事看得更深些、更远些。它发人深省之处就是让我们目睹了浑浊、虚假、拜金、物欲横流的社会中的一颗金子般的心,一块沉浸在墨水里依旧保持美质的玉。这样看来,玛蒂尔德身上最美好的东西最终没有毁灭。难道你还认为这是一个悲剧吗?
读完《项链》后,实在不禁慨叹,人生实在是变化多端,令人意想不到啊!
小说家莫泊桑笔下的《项链》描述了一个经常哀叹生活困苦的漂亮女子玛蒂尔德为了和丈夫一起参加一个舞会,向朋友佛来思节太太借了一条钻石项链,并赢得在场众多男宾的青睐。但是舞会过后却发现项链遗失了,他们不得不买回一条新的项链给佛来思节太太。为了付这笔债,夫妇俩一起辛勤工作了长达十年的时间。一次偶然中,却从佛来思节太太的口中得知这让他们劳碌半生的项链居然是假的!
读完这故事后,大家或许会认为这一切恶果都是因为玛蒂尔德的爱慕虚荣所造成的,因此,她一点也不值得可怜,甚至会在笑声中带有一丝的嘲讽。最初我也是这样想的,但是,静下心来,脑子里慢慢的便飘出一个疑问:到底是什么样的力量,让一个原本娇弱纤细的女子坚持了长达十年的工作,直到完全还清债务呢?想到这儿,心中不禁为玛蒂尔德感到自豪。原来十指不沾阳春水的她,每天洗杯洗碗,搬运垃圾下楼,罐子锅子的油垢底子上把她十只玫瑰色的手指头都磨坏了。就这样一天一天地熬着,原来温柔的她变得像平民妇人一般。
这时,我的脑海中浮现玛蒂尔德十年后向朋友坦白说出项链是另外一条时,她脸上那既有点自负,又天真快乐的神气微笑,或许这就是世上最美丽的微笑了,尽管玛蒂尔德的外貌是个衰老的贫困妇人,但这时候的她却拥有一颗自尊高贵的心灵。在美丽与人格的天平上,她没有丝毫犹豫,决然说:“要还!”我为这时候新生的玛蒂尔德感到无比自豪。
这个故事让我清楚的看清了法国当时人们的极度虚荣以及拜金主义的疯狂横行,的确,在这样一个灰雾弥漫的社会里,要保存一个纯真善良,自尊自爱的心实在不容易。玛蒂尔德的一生是不幸的,她日日夜夜思恋的荣华富贵始终没有走进她半步,但是同时她也是幸运的人,残酷的现实终究让她清醒了,人生里不再只有哀叹与落寞。
其实拨开了终日幻想的云雾,我们会认识到生活中无论变化再大,困难再多,走向成功的路也只有一条,就是脚踏实地,全力以赴。
