<Black beauty>读书笔记

1870年，安娜-塞维尔坐在伦敦郊区的家中。微笑的写完最后一个单词，然后合上了自己的笔记本，她重病六年了，苍白的面色和有气无力的声音让她显得弱不禁风。但是此刻，她的眼睛却散发着熠熠的光芒。或许她自己都不会想到，她刚刚完成的这篇中篇小说Black Beauty（中文名译作《黑骏马》）会在十九世纪下半叶的欧洲文坛产生那么大的轰动。这是她的唯一一部作品，却足以让她在欧洲文学史上占有自己的一席之地。这本书自出版以来已经售出了3000多万本，并且在以后数次改编为电影。

小说的主人公黑骏马是一匹出生在贵族人家的漂亮的良种黑马，他从小受到了良好的训练。从出生起就显得聪明机智，主人也很喜欢他。但是他出生的那个年代，作为一匹马，那他的命运就注定是坎坷的。在小的时候，他亲眼目睹了自己个哥哥——一匹同样漂亮矫健的黑马，因为一次奔跑中的意外葬送了自己的生命。小的时候，妈妈就就告诉过他：遇到好的主人就是他的福气，遇到虐待自己的主人就只能自认倒霉。果不其然，在原先的主人家度过了一段快乐的生活后。他最终还是因为主人家的搬迁而被卖给了另一位贵族，这位新的主人同样爱护他，可是照顾他的马夫却时常因为酗酒而对他施以暴力。而这只是一次次颠簸和坎坷的开始......

黑骏马的一生是在幸福和痛苦的交替中度过的，虽然在最初的主人家中他受尽优待，但是依旧生过重病，还经历了火灾。其后更是接触了形形色色的主人：有动辄就喝酒鞭打他的马夫，还有对他无度实 1

用的出租马夫，还有不把动物当做一回事情的野蛮人。也遇到过把他当做家庭中的一员的好人家。黑骏马的一生可谓是充满了酸甜苦辣，看遍了人生百态。他和另外一匹母马的友情更是让我们感到动物也拥有自己的情感，当他看着她死去的时候，那段描写更是震撼人心。不禁的让人想到了拜伦曾经说过的一句话：你们拥有人类所有的优点，却不曾拥有人类的一个缺憾。

《Beauty》读后感

读完Susan Sontag所写的《Beauty》后，我感觉获益良多，重新思考了女性与美这两者之间的关系，同时也对此有了更深入的认识。

早在古代中国，人们就已经把女性与美联系在一起，并且对女性的美十分重视。什么倾国倾城、国色天香、闭月羞花、沉鱼落雁之类的成语，都是用来形容女性那令人销魂的外貌美。而美丽也成为了当时中国女性出名的一种重要手段。西施、貂蝉、王昭君、杨贵妃这古代四大美人，不正是因为她们那绝色的美貌而流芳百世吗？因为智慧而广为人知、家喻户晓的女性，在古代中国中真的很少，不是因为当时女性愚钝，真的没有才干，而是因为在那时的社会背景下，人们普遍认为美丽才是女性最重要且最应拥有的特征，人们重视女性美貌的程度远远超过了对其内在的看法，即使是钟无艳、黄月英这样的才女，也逃不了被人们对其丑陋相貌的一番指点。

在史书中，我们不时可以看到四大美人、几大才子啊之类的说法，却极少看到几大才女或几大美男的字眼。在古代，单靠相貌俊美而闻名于世的男性几乎不存在。学富五车、才高八斗、满腹经纶……这些成语虽没有明确说明只能形容男性，但从中国古代的用词习惯来看，这些词都较多地偏向在男性身上使用。即使是现在，如果有人向我描述，某个人才高八斗、满腹经纶，我脑海里第一反应这个人也应该是男的。所以也怪不得，在两性中，美成为了女性的专属品，但却只是男性的附加品。

古代中国经常吹捧着这样一句话：女子无才便是德。这不仅直接

贬低了有才女子的身份地位，同时更加深了女性渴望得到美、追求美的思想。因为旧道德规范认为妇女无须有才能，只需顺从丈夫就行。而顺从丈夫在很大程度上就是取悦丈夫，而取悦丈夫则需要身为妻子的把家中内务处理得井井有条的同时，更重要的是仪态及相貌要保持端庄，尤其是在众人面前，因此美也成为女性取悦他人的一种需要。

从现在的观点来看，虽然美不再是女性的专利，男性不断培养自己能力才干的同时也开始比较重视自己的外貌美，但这仍未改变美的天平对女性这方的偏重。譬如说，大部分化妆品都是以女性为主要营销对象，而专为男性设计的化妆品只是占了当中的极少数。又例如，衣服的种类，女性的服饰种类繁多，款式新颖多样；而男性的却比较单一乏味。

Black Beauty

Black Beauty is a very interesting book written by British writer Anna Sewell. After reading the book, I was filled with emotion. In the book Anna told a story about a horse, whose name was Black Beauty.

Black Beauty was born in a stable owned by a kind farmer. He had a pure blood-relation, and was black all over, with the only exception of his right foot and a small mark on his forehead in the shape of the star. He also had all kinds of noble characters:loyalty, courage, resourcefulness, perseverance, kindness, and so on. Anyway, he was a rare perfect horse.

However, Black Beauty was ill-fated. He once encountered a kind master and experienced the happiest time in his life. Unfortunately, after he had been an adult, he started to be sold to different people, when his miserable life began. Since then, he was misused, was worn short reins and made friends with Ginger. He saved a master who had taken good care of him, but was racked by another brutal one. Luckily, he survived at last and had a good destination.
