英文原文名著读后感1
many people simply regard pride and prejudice as a love story, but in my opinion, this book is an illustration of the society at that time. she perfectly reflected the relation between money and marriage at her time and gave the people in her works vivid characters. the characters have their own personalities. mrs. bennet is a woman who makes great efforts to marry off her daughters. mr. bingley is a friendly young man, but his friend, mr. darcy, is a very proud man who seems to always feel superior. even the five daughters in bennet family are very different. jane is simple, innocent and never speaks evil of others. elizabeth is a clever girl who always has her own opinion. mary likes reading classic books. (actually she is a pedant.) kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, lydia. lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. when i read the book, i can always find the same personalities in the society now. that is why i think this book is indeed the representative of the society in britain in the 18th century.
the family of gentleman in the countryside is jane austen’s favourite topic. but this little topic can reflect big problems. it concludes the stratum situation and economic relationships in britain in her century. you can find these from the very beginning of this book.
the first sentence in this book is impressive. it reads: “it is a truth well known to all the world that an unmarried man in possession of a large fortune must be in need of a wife”. the undertone is very clear: the foundation of the marriage at that time is not emotion but possession.
people always think that austen was an expert at telling love stories. in fact, the marriage in her book is not the result of love, but the result of economic needs. after reading this book, i know the truth is that a poor woman must be in need of a husband, a wealthy man.
i couldn’t forget how eager mrs. bennet wants to marry off her daughters. if you want to know why she is so crazy about these things, i must mention the situation in britain at that time. only the eldest son had the privilege of inheriting his father’s possessions. younger sons and daughters who are used to luxurious lives have no choice but marry a man or woman in possession of a large fortune to continue their comfortable lives. thus, we can see that getting married is a way to become wealthier, particularly for women without many possessions. jane austen told us that money and possession determined everything, including marriage and love in her century.
in “pride and prejudice”, the sister of mr. bingley strongly opposed his plan of marrying jane because the bennets don’t have many possessions and their social positions are much lower than them. from this, we can see there are a lot of obstacles for a not very rich woman to marry a wealthy husband. the society, the relatives would not allow them to get married.
in modern society, although the marriages of economic needs have decreased rapidly, the concept of “money determines everything” is still rooted in some people’s mind. a lot of parents try hard to interfere their children’s marriages. education background, possessions, jobs remains the main reason that may influence one’s marriage. marry for money is still a big problem in our society. we can’t help thinking: can money determine everything?
austen left this problem for us to think. the genius of jane austen lies in this perfect simplicity, the simplicity that reflects big problems. although austen was only 21 when she wrote “pride and prejudice”, her sharp observation of social lives makes the style of this book surprisingly mature and lively. the plots in her works are always very natural. the development of the plot is as inevitable as a problem in mathematics. i think the depth of pride and prejudice is the reason that makes this book prominent and classic. today, her book still can be the guide telling us the economic relationships both at her time and in modern time.
英文原文名著读后感2
12月里,我读了英国作家乔纳森;斯威夫特的《格列佛游记》,小说以辛辣的讽刺与幽默、离奇的想象与夸张,描述了酷爱航海冒险的格列佛,四度周游世界,经历了大大小小惊险而有趣的奇遇。
游记中小人国、大人国里光怪离奇的故事深深地吸引了我,然而给我印象最深的是,1710年格列佛泛舟北美,巧访了荒岛上的慧因国,结识了具有仁慈、诚实和友谊美德的慧因。在慧因国的语言中没有“撒谎”和“欺骗”这样的字眼,人们更不理解它的含义。他们不懂什么叫“怀疑”、什么是“不信任”,在他们的国度里一切都是真实的、透明的。格列佛在慧因国里度过了一段美好的时光,他完全融入这个社会,以致于与暗喻人类的耶胡交往时形成强烈的反差,因为他们总是以怀疑的眼光看待他的诚实,使他感到失落,对人类产生了极度的厌恶。我很羡慕文中的主人公有幸能到慧因国,慧因国是我们所追求和向往的理想境地,在这里你不需顾虑别人说话的真假,而在现实的世界,有着太多我们不愿看到的事情常常发生:有人用花言巧语骗取别人的血汗钱、有人拐卖的儿童谋取暴利、有人甚至为了金钱抛弃自己的亲身父母。难怪我们的老师、长辈从小就教育我们要提高警惕,不要上当受骗。这与我们提倡的帮助他人、爱护他人是很难统一的。当我遇到有困难的人,要伸出援助之手时,我迟疑;当有人替我解围时,我不敢接受。这些都让我内心感到痛苦、矛盾,无所适从。既妨碍了我去“爱”别人,同时也错过了别人的“爱”,在难道不是一种悲哀吗?
我不知道十八世纪美国的辉格、托利两党缠绵悱恻、暧昧的关系,当然也就无从体会斯威夫特笔下的争论吃鸡蛋应先敲哪头、鞋跟之高低等“原则”问题的“高跟党”与“低跟党”的妙处。
我错怪斯威夫特了,我要有一颗宽容的心。而后来的斯威夫特也渐渐变得可以理解了,给我的感觉是他很正义。
他讽刺地道出了当时英国的特点:“贪婪、党争、伪善、无信、残暴、愤怒、疯狂、怨恨、嫉妒、淫欲、阴险和野心。”他挖苦地描述了人兽颠倒的怪诞现象:马成了理性的载体,而人则化作脏臭、屎尿横飞、贪婪刁难的下等动物耶胡。他大谈人的天性,就是心甘情愿被金钱所奴役,不是奢侈浪费就是贪得无厌。看完《格列佛游记》之后,我们不能不审视自己,我们身上有没有这些顽疾劣根的影子。
有一句话,我认为评论得很经典:以夸张渲染时代的生气,藉荒唐痛斥时代的弊端;在厌恨和悲观背后,应是一种苦涩的忧世情怀。
没有想到在那些朴实得如同流水账的大白话游记中竟蕴含着这么深邃的内涵。
我期盼着有一天我们的社会也像慧因国,孩子们的眼中不再有疑虑,教育与现实是统一的。我愿为此付出努力,也希望大家与我一道,从自己做起,从现在开始做起,让这个社会多一点真诚、少一点虚伪。

《鲁宾逊漂流记》这本书描述了主人公鲁滨逊漂流海岛,初到孤岛的他是绝望的,没有食物,没有房子,没有衣服,没有武器,没有出路,没有被救的希望,只有死路一条,不是被野兽吃掉,就是被野人所嚼……
但是,慢慢的,他对生活充满了希望,对自己充满了信心,不再整天唉声叹气了,开始一心一意的安排了自己的生活,他建起了房子;做了小桌子、小匣子;用从船上找到的枪来捕捉了山羊;在房子周围种了小麦、稻子;鲁滨逊还获得了一只小狗和一只鹦鹉,做他的伙伴……就这样,鲁滨逊用自己智慧的脑子和勤劳的双手,创造了属于自己的王国。
鲁滨逊不仅是一个智慧,勤劳的人,他更是一位有坚强毅力的人。他曾经说过:“我的脾气是要决定做一件事,不成功绝不放手”因为他没有助手,缺乏做事经验,所以做任何事都要花费很大的力量,很长的时间。连做一块木板都要四十几天。并且,他做的许多东西都不成样子,但他从来都没有灰心过,而是总结失败的经验又从新开始做。
鲁滨逊用辛勤的劳动换来了令他欣慰的回报。最后,他变得非常“富有”:有小船用,有面包吃,有陶器使用,还有植物园、牧场、两处“豪华”小屋,并且还有了一个忠诚的奴隶——星期五。这些都是鲁滨逊不知花了多少力气,克服了多少困难才得来的!
当我郑重地翻过最后一页,认真的读完最后一个字时,我的心被震撼了,一个个问号萦绕在我的脑海中……
假如我是鲁滨逊,独自一人在荒岛上,能活几天?一天?两天?我又可以做什么?劈柴?打猎?我会像他一样镇定自若吗?对生活充满信心吗?我的回答肯定是“不”,再说了,一个人孤零零的在荒岛上,我一定会得忧郁症憋死的。面对这突如其来的灾难,我不可能像他那样因时顺变,自力更生的,因为我没有那种能力。
我觉得我们大家都应该学习鲁滨逊不怕困难,面对困难永不低头的乐观向上的精神,不管遇上多大的困难,都要勇敢的去面对,勇敢的活下来。哪怕只有一丝希望,也要争取坚决不能放弃!像鲁滨逊那样有志气,有毅力,爱劳动,动脑子想办法克服困难,用自己的双手去创造财富,取得最后的胜利!
我会像他一样镇定自若吗?对生活充满信心吗?我的回答肯定是“不”,面对这突如其来的灾难,我不可能像他那样因时顺变,自力更生的,因为我没有那种能力。
英文原文名著读后感4
“在童年,我把自己想象成一个蜂窝,一些普通、平凡的人们像蜜蜂一样,把自己的知识和关于生活的想法的蜜送到那里,每个人尽自己的力量慷慨大方地充实着我的心灵,这种蜜往往是肮脏而苦涩的,但这一切知识仍然是蜜。”这是作者高尔基在《童年》中写的话。
《童年》是高尔基以自身经历为原型创作的自传体小说三部曲的第一部,在世界文学史上,它是一部划时代的巨着,开辟了无产阶级文学新的历史时期。
《童年》中所描绘的是一种浓厚的、色彩斑斓的、离奇的、难以形容的生活。那段生活,仿佛是由一个善良而县极端诚实的、美妙的天才讲出来的一个悲惨的童话。
在那种黑暗生活中,残酷的事情太多了。小孩子做错了一点事,要脱掉裤子挨打;父子兄弟间为了分家,吵架斗殴,甚至打得头破血流;外祖母毫无过失,也逃不了外祖父的拳打脚踏,米哈伊尔舅舅为了寻开心,用烧红的顶针捉弄老匠人格里戈里;母亲跪在地上请求继父不要在外面鬼混,继父却用他穿着靴子的脚狠狠地踢她的胸部;格里戈里为外公干了一辈名著读后感的活,当他双目失明,丧失劳动能力时,却被赶出染坊,流浪街头乞食为生;外公不但残酷剥削工人,而且六亲不认,与老伴一起煮茶时,茶叶也要放在手心里细细数过,生怕自己吃了亏。《童年》描写了那么多目不忍睹的惨事与丑事,但整部作品仍像阳光透过云层一样放射出了乐观主义的思想光辉。
与外公那类人的厌恶相反,有善良慈祥,爱亲人,爱邻居的外婆。她心甘情愿把生活中的一切压力都承担下来而毫无怨言。与外婆同类的人还有小伙子茨冈与客房“好事儿”。他勤劳能干,力大无穷,虽然被外公与舅舅当成牛马使唤,但仍很善良乐观。房客“好事儿”则是一个成年人,对生活透彻的了解与感悟,见识远大,这些人从正面唤起了阿寥沙对生活的热情向往。
一个人无论处在怎样恶劣的环境中,生活多么艰难,总有一些善良美好的人,只要有一颗追求光明、正直、善良的心,就能战胜邪恶,走正自己的路。即使在龌龊的环境下也能培养出健康、正直的心灵。正如高尔基所说:我们的生活是非常奇妙的,在我们的生活中,虽然有滋生各种无耻的败类的肥沃土壤。但这种土壤终究会长出卓越的、健康的而且富有创造性的力量,生长出善良和人道的东西,不断激发我们建设光明的、人道的、新生的、不灭的希望。
英文原文名著读后感5
i believe that one of the factors that makes a piece of literature or even a movie a masterpiece is how well the reader can relate to the story. this is definitely a book everyone can relate to.
the adventures of tom sawyer is a literary masterpieces, written in 1876 by the famous author mark twain. tom sawyer is a mischievous young boy who lives in the small town on the mississippi river called st. petersburg. the story line is simple, the book reads like a biography or a memoir of a summer in tom sawyer's life.
tom sawyer seems to be the precursor of and the template for misfit kids such as dennis the menace, malcolm in the middle, and calvin and hobbs. what makes this story great is that tom sawyer represents everything that is great about childhood. the book is filled with tom's adventures playing pirates and war with his friend joe harper. tom has a trusted friend, huck finn, who few of the adults approve of. the book is filled with ideas of how the world works, such as how pirates and robbers work, that are so innocent, they could only come from a child. it is a story filled with action, adventure, ingenious ideas, love, and schoolyard politics. the whole story is seemingly a complication of what people did or wish they did during their childhood.
the book is a little difficult to read at first. personally, it takes me a little while to get used to the 19th century dialect in the book. other than referring to persons of african decent in derogatory terms (which i'm sure uses terms even young children already know), the book would be an enjoyable read for people of all ages. i highly recommend this book for anyone looking to feel young again, if just for a few hundred pages.
