读后感老人与海的英语作文 篇1

我读了美国著名作家海明威的小说《老人与海》，十分佩服小说中老渔夫的意志，他让我懂得了一个人一定要有坚持不懈的精神，才能获得成功。小说描写的是一个年近六旬的老渔夫，在一次单身出海打鱼时，钓到了一条大鱼，却拉不上来老渔夫同鱼周旋了几天后，才发现这是一条超过自己渔船数倍的大马林鱼，虽然明知很难取胜，但仍不放弃。后来又因大马林鱼伤口上的鱼腥味引来了几群鲨鱼抢食，但老人仍不愿就这样放弃，最终突出重围，将大鱼带回了渔港，让其他渔夫佩服不已。

I read a novel named “the old man and the sea” written by a famous writer Ernest Hemingway.After reading it, I very admire the will of the protagonist of the novel an old fisherman, he let me know that the key to a person’ success is persistence.The novel described an old fisherman who was nearly sixty years old, he caught a big fish in a time when he went fishing in the sea by himself, but he couldn’t pull the big fish up.After he worked with the fish for a few days, he found that the fish was several times bigger than his fishing boat.Although knowing is hard to win the big fish, he didn’t give up.Then a few groups of sharks attracted by the smell of the big fish’s wound, but the old fisherman still didn’t want to give up.Finally he succeeded and took big fish back to the fishing port.After seeing this, the other fishermen all admired the old fisherman.This novel let me thought up an old saying goes “where there is a will there is a way有志者事竟成”

本书的主人公是来自外星球的小王子。书中以一位飞行员作为故事叙述者，讲述了小王子从自己星球出发前往地球的过程中，所经历的各种历险。圣·埃克苏佩里在这部童话小说里，通过一颗小星球上的一个小王子旅行宇宙的经历，表达了对人类“童年”消逝的无限感叹。小王子在旅途中到过六个星球，碰到过一个目空一切的国王，一个爱慕虚荣的人，一个消磨光阴的酒鬼，一个唯利是图的商人，一个循规蹈矩的点灯人和一个学究式的地理学家，最后才到达地球，在浩瀚的撒哈拉大沙漠上遇到了“我”。作者以小王子的孩子式的眼光，透视出成人的空虚、盲目和愚妄，用浅显天真的语言写出了人类的孤独寂寞、没有根基随风流浪的命运。同时，也表达出作者对金钱关系的批判，对真善美的讴歌.在作者看来，爱就要像小王子住的星球上的火山一样炽热，友情就要像小王子那样兢兢业业为玫瑰花铲除恶草.The hero of this book is a little prince from an outer planet.A pilot as the narrator in this book, telling that the experience of all kinds of adventures the prince went through during him set up from his own planet for the earth.During the trip, the prince missed A Cavalier King, a vain man, a kill time drunkard, a businessman who seeks nothing but profits, a lamplighter who hewed to a line and a pedantic geographer, finally reaching the earth, then meted the person “me” in the vast Sahara desert".The writer of the book used children’s vision to perspective the emptiness, blind and foolish of the adult.He also used some native language to write out the loneliness and happy-go-lucky life of human beings.At the same time, the book also expresses the criticism of money and the praise of beauty from the writer.In the writer’ opinion, love is hot like the volcano on the planet the prince lived on, friendship is doing one’s best to each other like the prince kill weeds for the roses.

耄耋老人的疯狂英语 篇2

本期《专访》,让我们一起走进这位耄耋老人的疯狂英语世界。

While at university I studied to be an engineer,

in public I'm honored as an English professor,

I show off these works of mine as a 90 microcalligrapher,

based on devotion, thanksgiving and self-existence.

出身科班工程师,

英语教授无愧时,

九十微书奇于世,

奉献感恩立命志。

这是胡文彬老人对自己的一生所为简单概括的一首小诗,短短的几行字,却引尽了大家无限的遐想与好奇。且不说 “科班工程师”为何会被称为“英语教授”,单是“微书”二字,对于大部分人来说,就已经够陌生的了。

早在一两年前,这位痴迷于英语的高龄老人就已经成为了杭州市乃至浙江省的一个名人。胡老是浙江杭州市萧山人,出生于上世纪20年代初。老人曾就读于浙江英士大学(后并入浙江大学),学习土木工程,在铁路勘探设计领域获得了许多的褒奖,包括国家测绘局颁发的满三十年荣誉奖,并以主任工程师身份退休,获得国家技术七级工资。

胡老的前半生,都奉献给了与英语几乎毫不相联的铁路事业,谁也不曾料到,老人会在英语世界里找到自己晚年第二个生机盎然的春天。

凭借幼年时期在教会学校学习的功底,加上自身的勤奋和努力,胡老在卸下“工程师”的盔甲后又扮演起“英语教授”的角色。胡老在七十年代还主办过专期的英语培训,学员数以千计;上世纪八十年代,他曾被浙江翻译协会派遣到当时全国最大型的北仑港电厂担任首席英语口译,受到了外国专家的称赞;自此之后,胡老在多所大专院校作英语讲座,在校园中激起了层层的浪花和学习英语的热潮;在2007年的浙江首届口译研讨会上,胡老还发表了“20年口译经验”的专题发言,被誉为“英语老人”、“胡文彬教授”。虽然老人并非科班出身,但其英语造诣却实在令人折服,因此大家都恭敬地称他为“英语教授”。

胡老曾经出版过《美国广播英语》《英语块点图案学习法》以及《少儿歌谣英语》等书,引来了浙江众多媒体的争相报道。但是老人并没有让自己止步于已取得的成绩面前,而是不断地给自己设置更高的目标和更具挑战性的任务。《九十汉英微书》正是老人总结自己多年学习英语的经验,结合中国文化的特点和自己扎实的书法技巧出版的一本“奇书”。这本书的“奇”从书名就可窥一斑:“九十”自然指的是此书作者的年龄,“汉英”指出了此书所涵盖的内容是汉英翻译方面的内容,而“微书”二字,则是全书“奇”之所在。老人在中学期间,曾经临摹过柳公权体书法,柳体要求提笔劲握,内功有神,这样写出的字才能站得住、立得稳。老人认为,书法是我们中华民族数千年文化的精华所在,为此,在双语的书写中,他大大地发挥了自己幼年习字的扎实功底,用毛笔书写对照的中文和英文部分。以老人九十岁的高龄,能够不借用任何视力工具,写出5mm×5mm大小的汉字,怎能不让人惊奇和赞叹!

胡老对人生有着十分豁达的看法。回首自己走过的人生,有时候老人自问“经历过坎坷的一生,磕头碰脑大半生,如今百岁都尽在眼前,该颐养天年了,又何必夜以继日、废寝忘食地写什么微书呢?”老人的最后一句诗“奉献感恩立命志”,名其志。在尝尽了困苦之后,胡老从古人的良言益语中结合自己的人生经历,探究人生的真谛。人生最珍贵、最快乐的事情,莫过于此。

胡老曾这样描述自己一生的追求“先贤圣哲们曾经这样教导过我们:我们要从知识(knowledge)升华到智慧(wisdom),那才是懂得做人的道理。20世纪世界伟大的98高寿哲学家罗素倡导人生三大激情:对爱的渴望,对知识的追求,以及对人类苦难的难以承受的同情。91高龄诺贝尔文学奖得主丘吉尔谆谆教诲,要以容忍、多变、镇静来对待世间的纷扰离乱。多少年前先人们留给我们的话语,躺卧在自身颠簸流离的坎坷中,梳理出天、地、人三个层面,和三颗心,即奉献、感恩、立命。”老人说:“我要以无限无量的眼光来处理生死之念。在我的有生之年,我要求我的一思一想,一举一动,无论有人无人,都要问心无愧,自律始终。”

曾任中央二机部翻译、中共杭州市新四军研究会理事的古博渊在给胡老的《九十汉英微书》所作的序中这样写道:胡老经历着第二次生命,在第二次生命中他感受着苦味人生的艰辛、甘甜和真谛。我佩服胡老安贫乐道、服务社会的仁者之心和生命不息、进取不已的大勇精神。

作为一个颜回式的人物(注:《论语•雍也》:子曰:“贤哉,回也,一箪食,一瓢饮,在陋巷,人不堪其忧,回也不改其乐”。),胡老无疑是老骥伏枥,壮心不已,必将青云之志。

《老人与海》英语读后感 篇3

The villagers are split into two groups. The older fishermen that respect Santiago and wish him luck, and the younger fishermen that see him as little more than bad luck. While neither group is particularly important to the plot, each of their views sets an ambiance of Santiagoa?s forthcoming adventure. Without their views Santiago would be little more than a lucky old fisherman.

Santiago has a resolute grip upon reality and lives by it. He sees himself as a man with little direction but enough determination and experience to live. He chose not to see what others thought but instead lived by how he perceived the world. His constant struggles and his persistent resolve to overcome the marlin and himself show his earnest desires to live and fish.

The boy is a crucial element to Santiagoa?s world. Manolin is always at the edge of Santiagoa?s mind when he thinks of convenience. At times with the fish, Santiago thinks to the boy and then to his own lack of ability. He may deny it, but at times it is his relationship with the boy that both makes him realize he needs help, and compels him to go on.

Christian imagery and concepts are important assets to the old fishermana?s personality. He is seen as a kind man, and although expresses his frustration towards certain points, only conveys his anger towards the evil representation of the sharks. His kind, infinite eyes, and he carrying his mast like Jesus and his cross only augment his Christ-like personage. His loneliness and greatness are both shown as Manolin is assigned a new boat after 40 days with Santiago, the same length of time as Christ spent in the wilderness.

Santiagoa?s change at the end of the novella turns him into almost a universal hero. By being at sea, his ventures were never limited and the events of the story just seemed to happen. After he rebukes himself for his arrogance with the marlin, Santiago goes home and dreams of the lions playing in Africa, signaling a cycle of a child-like rebirth through Manolin.

Throughout the story many aspects can be found about Santiagoa?s personality merely by the content of his 3-day fight with the marlin. The ideology that encompasses the story is only consumed by Santiagoa?s pure will to persevere. Certainly Santiago is a man of many themes and personality traits.

I believe that in the past three decades, the way society has treated he elderly has remained primarily the same. Some younger citizens have looked up to the elderly with respect, yet most continue to shun them and

consider them useless and hopeless in a society such as ours. I think that the elderly population is continually losing respect from the new generations. Santiago, the elderly man in the novel The Old Man and the Sea, is respected by a young boy, Manolin, yet he is also looked down upon

by many of the younger fishermen in the Cuban fishing village where he lives. This book is set in the late 1930“s and, I as I see it, shows that societies all around the world have had a decline in respect for the older people in their environment since the beginning of the nineteenth century.

An enormous number of issues have changed since Santiago”s time, allowing the elderly to have the ability to do more in their old age and live in areas specifically designed for their needs. However, there is still an enormous lack of respect for the older people in society, and it is becoming worse every day. Younger citizens of our country make fun of older people, call them names, and believe that they are incapable of doing most things that the younger ones are capable of doing. When we believe they can no longer support themselves, we place our elderly relatives into retirement homes and old folks“ homes as many call them. Sometimes they, themselves, do not wish to go to such a place, but we force them to, which many times is the wrong choice. Some younger people help the elderly, though, and try to support them, but few of these people can be found. It is a fact that when people get beyond a certain age, their memories begin depleting and they atrophy physically. However, as Santiago shows in the novel, older people have much knowledge about the world around them and enough strength to make it through hard situations if they are determined and have the will and courage to believe in a better tomorrow.

In Santiago”s community, it is shown that their is still a natural respect for elders, as is seen in Manolin“s support of the old man. He was one of the dying breed that truly looked up to his elders and regarded their feelings and experiences with much respect. He greatly aided Santiago by giving him support and courage and helping him through every day chores. Their are still some people with such feelings in the world today, yet many have had their opinions swayed by others and begin to think badly of the elderly.

Their is also a lack of respect for Santiago and the elderly in the novel, which can be found in the actions of the young fisherman. Some laugh at him when he passed by, and some thought of him to be too old to be a fisherman. They believed he was not in good enough shape to catch a fish, yet it was only his bad luck that deterred him from doing such a thing. He was much better and more exact than most of the other fisherman in the village, yet they could not see past his age to view his accomplishments.

读后感老人与海的英语作文 篇4

——Read “The old man and the sea”Thoughts Nowadays,many people may be confused on the true sense of our lives.Some people are eager to succeed and to realize their so-called sense of lives.Maybe,so do I.However,after I read this famous novel--The old man and the sea.I was shocked by this amazing novel and Hemingway.Because it told me what the true sense is of our lives:We may be tiny,but our thought,heart,soul and spirit can be mighty.The novel tells us a story that happened a long time ago,in Cuba,an old fisher called Santiago always went fishing alone.And unfortunately,he even hadn’t caught any fishes for eighty-four days,while in the eighty-fifth day,he caught a very huge marlin fish,it is nearly two feet longer than the boat.And after two days’ drifting, Santiago stabed the marlin fish into death,and during this time,the old fisher suffered from many tough hardships that he had never gone

through.Howerver,at this time,the blood of the dead marlin fish attracted some sharks.Although the old man had a life-and-death fight with those bad guys,but as a result,the marlin fish had been eaten out by the sharks while only the bare skeleton was left.The old man returned to the harbour with his tired body but no gain.Soon he fell asleep.And in his dream,he saw a lion.And in this chapter,the author revealed the subject of this novel:”A man is not for defeat,a man can be destroyed but not defeated!”

During my reading,I found that the expressions of this novel is so wonderful that I am

attrcted by them.For example,”The clouds over the land now rose like mountains and the coast was only a long green line with the gray blue hills behind it.The water was a dark blue now,so dark that it was almost purple.”

After my thinking,I have many thoughts about Santiago,this novel or even Hemingway.I feel my spirit has been even just the same as him.It’s true that we can not deny that Santiago is a tiny fisher:he is old and poor.But the more important matter is that he is also a mighty man:he has a brave and benevolent heart,a firm belief and a strong spirit.Is he just like Hemingway?Just like John F.Kennedy said:”No one can exceed him,he is the symbol of the spirit of the United States.” Hemingway and Santiago,they both bore the heavy burden at their times,but they still took their courage in both hands,even though they might be injured or lose their lives.Undoubtedly,in our

lives,we may meet a lot of hardships,but we are born to eradicate them,but not to suffer from them.In this novel,the old man had never yielded to the tough surroundings,this is his victory!

英语作文老人与海 篇5

英语作文老人与海

Despite opposition from some residents of West Roseville, the arguments in favor of merging the townships of Roseville and West Roseville are overwhelming. First, residents in both townships are confused about which authority to contact when they need a service; for example, the police department in Roseville receives many calls from residents of West Roseville.

This sort of confusion would be eliminated with the merger. Second, the savings in administrative costs would be enormous, since services would no longer be duplicated: we would have only one fire chief, one tax department, one mayor, and so on. And no jobs in city government would be lost-employees could simply be reassigned. Most importantly, the merger will undoubtedly attract business investments as it did when the townships of Hamden and North Hamden merged ten years ago.
