书名:《红与黑》
摘抄:考试那段时间,他大概两个月未曾同于连说过话,当他接到宣布考试成绩的公报,看到这个学生的名字旁边写着198这个数目,他病例了一个礼拜,他是把这个学生看作本神学院的光荣的呀。对于这个性情严厉的人来说,唯一的安慰是把他所有的监视手段集中用在于连身上。他感到欣喜的是,他在于连身上没有发现愤怒、报复计划和气馁。
几个礼拜之后,于连接到一封信,不免打了个哆嗦;信上盖有巴黎的邮戮。“终于,”他想,“德·莱纳夫人想起了她的诺言。”一个署名保尔·索莱尔的先生,自称是他的亲属,给他寄来一张五百法郎的汇票。信上还说,如果于连继读研究那些优秀的拉丁作家,并且卓有成绩,将每年寄给他一笔同样数目的钱。 “这是她,这是她的仁慈:“于连的心充满了柔情,自言自语道,“她想安慰我,可是为什么没有一句有情意的话?”
这封信他弄错了,德·莱纳夫人在她的朋友德尔维夫人的指导下,已完全沉浸在深深的悔恨中了。她还时常不由自主地想到那个不寻常的人,与他相遇搅乱了她的生活,但她很注意不给他写信。
如果使用神学院的语言,我们可以承认这笔五百法郎的汇款是个奇迹,而且可以说上天是利用德·福利莱先生本人送了这份礼物给于连。
读后感: 于连的一生都在追求幸福。他虽出身卑贱,却有幸受到良好的教育,又有着杰出的智慧,所以他日后能厕身在所谓的上流社会中。什么是幸福,怎样得到幸福,是困惑着人类几千年的问题,也同样困惑着我们的于连。在他心目中,幸福并没有确切的标准,只是在他的心计,在他的警觉,他的一个又一个的“作战计划”及其实施当中。他为第一次摆脱了父兄的虐待而幸福,为德.莱纳夫人面前履行“某种责任”而幸福,为骄傲的玛蒂尔德在自己面前屈服而幸福,为一次次地发迹而幸福得要命。他渴望幸福,渴望飞黄腾达,他发誓宁可死一千次也要飞黄腾达。为此,他制出了一个又一个“作战计划”,使出各种虚伪手段,他超人的智慧发挥的淋漓尽致。但他毕竟是个好苗子,所以在每每幸福之时,他又会扪心自问,深深自责。因此,他的计划总会漏洞百出,总会让人怀疑。于连仰观树冠,内心汹涌澎湃——“社会地位:愚人的尊敬、孩子的惊奇、富人的仰慕”。正如特殊人物对周围环境有着特殊的敏感一样,对社会地位特殊的敏感滋生乐于连野性的欲望——一定要爬到树冠上去!可惜命乖运蹇。“千里觅封侯”的红色从戎梦在生不逢时的仰天长叹中灰飞烟灭。不过,很快,神甫所带来的高薪和所赢得的来自王室的尊敬,使他黯淡的眸子里闪现出金灿灿的希望之光——穿上黑色的教会服,一样可以跻身名流。可在藐视一切的上流贵族眼里,他惊人的记忆力与街头末技之流的杂耍在本质上并无任何区别。于连也很清楚。凭着惊人的记忆力这块敲门砖仅能敲开上流社会的大门而已,却不一定能得到主人的笑脸相迎,想要登堂入室,成为座上嘉宾,还得有让自己举手投足增色的“行头”。久处树冠阴影中的他毫不犹豫的为他的欲望寻找到了一个能游刃有余的套子——虚伪,并一头钻了进去。从此,他便把自己裹得严严实实,一步步地向他梦寐以求的上流社会挺进。

The feeling after reading The Red and the Black
----------------a tragedy of an ambitious man Just as Napoleon said, “Every French soldier carries a marshal\’s baton in his knapsack”, Julien had an ambition in his heart. He was born in a peasant family, but he believed that he didn’t belong here. His background made him feel ashamed, and he decided never to give in to the fate. He always thought that he should be proud and he always behaved so. Actually, this is the symbol of his inferiority. The more inferior he felt, the more proudly he behaved, and he just wanted to hide his inferiority complex for his background. With these thoughts, he always wanted to conquer himself to get stronger, so he always imagined lots of battles and enemies. The love with Mrs. de Renal was one of his battles. The poor Mrs. de Renal was just a sacrifice. Having been loved with Mrs. de Renal just for a few months, Julien forgot her completely and decided to marry Mathillde. Even such a proud woman as Mathilde fell to Julien’s feet. But both Mrs. de Renal and Mathilde were too innocent, even ignorant, and they were both hurt deeply for the breaking of love. Maybe you can never judge a person only by his appearance, and remember never to give your priceless love to a person who has nothing but a handsome face.
Although Julien had too many sins, he deserved our sympathy, after a, he was punished and was sentenced to death. What a tragedy he was! He was always hostile to nobles and always pursued a higher social position. Didn’t he feel tired? He strived to go higher step by step, but finally he lost everything including his precious life.
Everyone has his own ambition within his heart, but not everyone can achieve his goal. What decides whether you can succeed or not is not only how much you have paid, but also the way you have chosen. You can only succeed in a correct way. Julien selected an extremely wrong way to realize his goal, so he got serious punishment finally. Just remember that after burying the seed of dream in your heart, please water it with good instead of evil.
