英文小说读后感

原文与译文

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer’s showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.从前，有位年轻人即将大学生毕业。数月来，他一直渴望得到某汽车商产品陈列室中的一辆跑车。他知道，他那富有的父亲肯定买得起这辆车，于是，他便跟父亲说他很想得到那辆漂亮的跑车

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man’s name embossed in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, “With all your money you give me a Bible?” He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.在毕业典礼即将来临的日子里，年轻人等待着父亲买下跑车的消息。终于，在毕业典礼那天上午，父亲将他叫到自己的书房，并告诉他，有他这么出色的儿子自己感到非常自豪而且非常爱他这个儿子。接着，父亲递给儿子一个包装精美的礼品盒。年轻人感到好奇，但带着些许失望地打开礼品盒，却发现里面是一本精美的精装本《圣经》，上面以金子凸印着年轻人的名字。看罢，年轻人怒气冲冲地向父亲大喊道：“你有那么多钱，却只给我一本《圣经》?”说完，便丢下《圣经》，愤怒地冲出房子.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.多年以后，年轻人已事业有成。他拥有一所漂亮的房子，一个温馨的家庭。但当得知父亲年事已高，他想，或许应该去看看他。自从毕业那天起他就一直不见父亲。就在起程时，他收到一封电报–父亲已逝世，并已立下遗嘱将其所有财产转给儿子。他要立即回父亲家处理后事。

When he arrived at his father’s house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father’s important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer’s name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words? “PAID IN FULL”.在父亲的房子里，他突然内心感到一阵悲伤与懊悔。他开始仔细搜寻父亲的重要文件，突然发现了那本《圣经》–还跟几年前一样崭新。他噙着泪水打开《圣经》并一页一页地阅读着。忽然，从书的背面掉出一把钥匙。钥匙上挂着一个标签，上面写着一个汽车经销商的名字–正是他曾渴望的那辆跑车的经销商。标签上还有他的毕业日期及“款已付清”的字样.

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.我们多少次地与祝福擦肩而过，仅仅因为他们没有按我们想象中的样子包装好?不要在渴望得到没有的东西时损坏你已经拥有的东西，但要记住一点：你现在所拥有的恰恰正是你曾经一心渴望得到的。

Sometimes we don’t realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect “the packaging” to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened

有时，我们并没有意识到我们已经拥有或本该拥有的好运，仅仅因为它的外表与我们想象中的有所不同。其实，表面上看起来像是坏运气的东西或许正是等待开启的幸运之门。

[我的评论]

在生活中，或许我们想要得到一个苹果，父母给的不一定是甘甜的果实而是一颗苹果树苗，或许我们想到喝一杯热汤，可是父母给的是一只盛汤的碗而不是直接给你一碗美味的汤，或许长大了想要一台游戏机，或许父母会给你列一张做家务来或许零花钱的清单，而不是直接给你游戏机。我们都知道，尽管我们没有直接得到想要的苹果，热汤还有游戏机，但是显而易见我们都会得到这些梦想得到的东西。但是有时候，我们往往做的事跟我们脑子里思考的不一样。也就是是说，有时候，我们不能安心地等待，反而是半途而废。在得到苹果前必须种植树苗，给树苗浇水施肥，看着它日日长大，最后才能得到果实。在喝到美味的热汤之前，我们必须站起来离开餐桌，自己去取才能喝到想要的汤。在拥有一台游戏机之前，我们必须打扫家人的房间洗脏衣服打扫客厅。多少人一看到这样繁琐的事便开始放弃他们所要追求的。于是他们便看不到希望，甚至就以为是永远不会得到，其实他们只要在多坚持那么一下就可以收获，就因为那时候的轻言放弃所以才永远不会得到。

在我认为，这不叫得不到，而是错过。错过想要的苹果热汤还有游戏机。或许还有更加残酷的，就是像故事中的主人公一样，错过了陪伴父母的时光。在一开始他认为父亲并没有买他想要的汽车给他，一气之下他生气的离开了。并固执地选择不再看看是否父亲以另一种方 式给他想要的车。所以在那时候失去这部车，最终也失去了与父母相聚的时光。如果当初，他能够平和地接受父亲赠给他的那本《圣经》，他能够去有顺序地阅读，他在最后便会发现其实他想要的车钥匙，就在自己的身边。那样就不会造成一生的后悔。

所以，在我们追求梦想的道路上，必须要坚持我们所想要的东西和想要变成的那种人，即使在路上，你想要的东西并没有按照你认为正确的方式来临，别放弃。它也不会是错的，只是需要你等一等。否则，遗憾将会伴随我们终身。有多少次我们错失了圣灵的祝福和祈祷的回应，只因为它们没有按照我们想象地来到。

[提纲] 首先，用在生活中的例子去解释描述故事的主题。然后再把例子和主题结合起来做一个总结，最后再谈一谈从这个故事中我得到的启发。

First,I use some examples in daily life to describe the same theme as the one in this story.Then I combine the examples with this story to make a summary and飞速卷皮talk about what I have got from this story.

[总结]

In our life,sometime we want an apple to eat,but when we ask an apple for our father and mother,they will give us an apple tree rather than an apple.And we want to drink a bowl of hot soup but sometime our mothers will give us a bowl.When you grow up,maybe you will want a Game player,you will talk to your father：“Dad,could you buy me a Game player.”I think,the sensible parents will give you a list about doing housework rather than a Game player.As we all know ,although we can not get the apple,a bowl of hot soup direct, finally we could get the things what we want by another way.But sometimes,what we do is different from what we think.That is apple,a coup of hot soup and a Game player,we must to play the apple tree, water and fertilize it

everyday, we need to leave the table to get the soup we want by ourselves,we need to clean the meeting room and wash the dirty cloth to make pin money.many people maybe give up what they want because they know they should do these things before getting.So,from that time on they decide to give up their dream,they will lose their forever.I guess the reason why they gave up is that these people think they will never reach their dream because they need to wait. In fact,they will reach their dream if hold on.

In my opinion, this action about give up called MISS.They missed the apple they want,hot soup and the Game player.The hero in this story had missed the time to accompany his farther and mother.At the beginning,the hero though his father won`t buy him the car,so he had left with angry. He had chosen left toughly and given up looking for another way to get the key of the car.In the end ,he has missed the time to accompanying parents.If the hero of this story can receive the <Bible> gently and read the book,he will find the key of the car just in his side. That is not regret to him forever.

So,in the way we pursue dream,we must adhere what we want and who we want to be.Even if we can not get the things what we want or we can not became a hero who we want to be punctuality.Don`t give up,everybody. Please believe you and believe the thing are right and you want will be come to you but only you need to wait a minute,just a minute.

简爱读后感英文版-我读简爱-英语论文

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.
