第一篇:愛麗絲夢游仙境 原創(chuàng) 英文書評(定稿)
A book review of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland(commonly shortened to Alice in Wonderland)is an 1865 novel written by English author Charles Lutwidge Dodgson under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll.He was an English author, mathematician, logician, Anglican deacon and photographer.On July 4, 1862 ,the author went sightseeing with Reverend Robinson Duckworth and three girls on the River Thames.One of the girls was exactly called Alice Liddell ,whom we know is the leading role of the story.In order to kill time during the journey, Dodgson told the girls a story that featured a bored little girl named Alice who goes looking for an adventure.The girls loved it, and Alice Liddell asked Dodgson to write it down for her.So, he did it and three years later , the book called Alice's Adventures in Wonderland published.It tells of a girl named Alice who falls down a rabbit hole into a fantasy world(Wonderland).The creatures there are peculiar, intelligential and anthropomorphic.She experienced many fantastic things in wonderland which won’t happen in the real world.In the end, Alice found that was only a dream, she was
still sitting under the tree.And the story ended.But for me , of course I won’t think of it only as a simple dream.I was deeply impressed with many plots.For example, when Alice fell down the hole, she didn’t cry and cry like a common girl, on the contrary she showed her brave side to us.That really impressed and moved me.We can leaned a lot from this pure and intrepid girl.For the characters, Alice is the main character of the story.She is a cute and brave English seven-year-old girl with a good imagination, manners and behavior.In many movie versions of the book, Alice usually appears as a blonde girl, wearing a blue dress;
The Mad Hatter is a wacky man and the leader of the Mad Tea Party.He is known to be very rude towards Alice and giving her stupid riddles without any answers.The White Rabbit is the rabbit who leads Alice to Wonderland.He is the first Wonderland Resident Alice meets.In the book and movie versions, the Rabbit wears a waistcoat where he pockets his watch.The Cheshire Cat is a peculiar cat that always grins and turns invisible at will.He is responsible of guiding Alice to the Mad Tea Party.The March Hare is the Mad Hatter's crazed sidekick who is also rude towards Alice.He likes to throw the teapot and other tableware.And he also likes to bite his ears and hands.He prefer cooking than doing any other things, a strange rabbit.The Caterpillar--A wise, but rude old bug who gives Alice advice about how to change sizes correctly by eating the mushroom.……
I love the story, and I love the little girl called Alice.In wonderland, impossible is nothing.Because our mind is stereotyped, we are already used to the set patterns.The things happened in wonderland may seems to be strange or stupid to us.That’s may be a tragedy to a person’s life.We will lose so much fun in that way.Why can’t we imagine or even do some crazy things?
In fact, the story is a dream, but it shows me many different ideas and truth.We’ll have no choice but to face the difficulties when we grow up, but we can’t lose our inherent pure heart.Wonderland is a nice place.It is a place I can follow my heart and do anything I want.That’s why I like this book.I always believe, the world follows your heart, if you think it’s beautiful, then, it would be.Like what Dickens said “The pure, the bright, and the beautiful.These things shall never die.”
第二篇:愛麗絲夢游仙境英文讀后感
3.這是一本故事書,里面的故事荒誕不經(jīng),離奇而可笑;這是一本不過百余頁的書,所展現(xiàn)的僅僅是一個小女孩在一個漫長的下午遇見的各種不可能存在的動物和人;這也是一本即使在童話書中都顯得極其普通的書,故事中的所有角色都會說話,都有自己的想法——這與任何一個童話故事相比幾乎沒有任何不同。
從頭至尾,整個故事都是那樣的奇怪。愛麗絲一直莫名其妙地變大變小,以至于差點被自己的眼淚淹死;她見到了很多動物和很多人,試著和他們聊天說話,只是他們都完全不正常,而且并不友好;她一直不停地問這問那,但是對方——不管是誰都不會給她一個合乎常理的答案,可是愛麗絲居然還會相信!
首先,那里有一個可愛的小女孩兒。雖然他有些時候會在諸如貓到底吃不吃蝙蝠這樣的問題上猶豫不定,但這對她的可愛并無妨礙。愛麗絲是勇敢的,她不畏懼任何陌生的地方和任何足以讓其他人低頭的威儀。她敢對那個動不動就要砍下別人腦袋的皇后說:“誰會在乎你呢!你只是一副撲克牌!除此以外你什么都不是!”她敢和任何陌生人打招呼,敢跟任何人爭辯,敢提任何問題。當(dāng)然,在做這一切的時候她都有著基本的禮貌,不管旁人是多么的粗魯。作為一個小女孩兒,愛麗絲有一個孩子該有的一切,同時也沒有一個孩子不該擁有的任何東西。從她的身上,我終于知道了一個正常的孩子應(yīng)該是怎樣的;從她的言行中,我似乎又找回了我過早丟失的童年,和一個孩子該有的純真。
其次,那是一個純凈的世界。那里面沒有心機也沒有較量,愛麗絲耍的小詭計盡管極其明顯卻根本無人察覺。純凈和荒謬,這兩個看似相距甚遠的詞卻在這里達到了統(tǒng)一?;蛟S,這是因為荒謬所以才會純凈?還是因為純凈所以才會顯得不符合“常規(guī)”?抑或是,本來就沒有什么,本來就很正常;只是我想得太多了?想得太深了?
它很能吸引人的注意力,我專心的看完這本書后,了解了書的大致內(nèi)容:愛麗絲在她荒誕離奇的夢境中,漫游了許多在他想象之下的奇妙世界,有能使她變小的藥水、使她變小的蛋糕、組成王國的撲克牌、能穿入鏡子的世界、使人忘記名字的小樹林……其中的人物也是有趣、滑稽。有公爵夫人、紅心皇后、老甲魚、龍蝦四組、叮當(dāng)兄弟倆、騎士……當(dāng)他被小豬碰醒后,才發(fā)現(xiàn)剛才的一切只不過是一個奇怪的的夢。這一切就像是我自己的一個五彩夢,深深地吸引著我們。
作者筆下的愛麗絲心地善良、純潔,樂于助人,并且能面對一些稀奇古怪的人或物時神情自定、毫不驚訝。毛骨悚然的表情,更增添了小女孩愛麗絲的幾分勇敢。善良可愛的他也許并不是聰明,但他有一顆純潔善良的愛心,對一只小鵝都彬彬有禮的愛麗絲,有一種我們所沒有的純真天性,這種童心是不會消失的。如果我們每一個人都如同愛麗絲一樣,世界將會多么美好?沒有騙子、沒有小偷,人們互相尊重,沒有糾紛、沒有爭執(zhí),世界上就沒有了戰(zhàn)爭,該多么美好。但這一切也只像是一場夢,很難成為現(xiàn)實。
我們要學(xué)習(xí)他的善良、樂于助人。經(jīng)常給予他人幫助,無論是什么,都愛惜它,真心對待。我們要學(xué)習(xí)他的勇敢。狹路相逢勇者勝。也許在某些情況下,勝利和失敗也只有一步之遙,有可能一個人擁有勇敢就會成功,而沒有,則可能失敗。
雖然這只是一個夢,但我們還是要學(xué)習(xí)愛麗絲的一些精神品質(zhì),將她夢想的精神真正變成我們實現(xiàn)擁有的精神。
麗絲漫游奇境記》(Alice's Adventures in Wonderland)是一部被公認為世界兒童文學(xué)經(jīng)典的童話,由于其中豐富的想象力和種種隱喻,不但深受各代兒童歡迎,也被視為一部嚴肅的文學(xué)作品。作者劉易斯·卡羅爾還寫有續(xù)集《愛麗絲鏡中奇遇記》。
故事講述的是一個叫愛麗絲的小女孩和姐姐在河邊看書時睡著了,夢中她追逐一只穿著背心的兔子而掉進了兔子洞,從而來到一個奇妙的世界。在這個世界里她時而變大時而變小,以至于有一次竟掉進了由自己的眼淚匯成的池塘里;她還遇到了愛說教的公爵夫人、神秘莫測的柴郡貓、神話中的格里芬和假海龜、總是叫喊著要砍別人頭的撲克牌女王和一群撲克士兵,參加了一個瘋狂茶會、一場古怪的槌球賽和一場審判,直到最后與女王發(fā)生沖突時才醒來,發(fā)現(xiàn)自己依然躺在河邊,姐姐正溫柔地拂去落在她臉上的幾片樹葉——在夢里她把那幾片樹葉當(dāng)成了撲克牌。
今天我讀了《愛麗絲漫游奇境記》這本書,故事情節(jié)奇妙有趣,吸引著我不知疲倦地讀下去。它講述了一個名叫愛麗絲的小女孩稀奇古怪的夢境:在無聊的一天,愛麗絲看見了一只穿著背心,并從背心口袋里掏出懷表看時間的兔子,兔子從一個洞里跳了進去,愛麗絲也跟了過去,不知不覺她掉進了一個深不見底的兔子洞。這時她的奇幻旅程就開始了,她經(jīng)歷了許多不可思議的怪事。她一會兒變矮,下巴都碰到了腳,一會兒又變高,簡直占滿了整個屋子,一會兒脖子又變得很長,都能隨意地扭曲,鴿子還誤把她當(dāng)成一條蛇。在新奇的歷險中,她還結(jié)識了許多朋友:愛生氣的老鼠、神氣活現(xiàn)的兔子三月、倒霉的壁虎比爾、看起來漫不經(jīng)心實則善良熱心的毛毛蟲、神龍見首不見尾的柴郡貓、沒完沒了吃茶點的帽子匠??后來愛麗絲進入了一個撲克牌王國,她發(fā)現(xiàn)王國里的每個人都是一張撲克牌。在她和紅桃王后打槌球時,她又驚訝地發(fā)現(xiàn)球是活刺猬,球桿是活的火烈鳥的脖子,撲克士兵們居然躬起身子手腳著地當(dāng)球門,非常有趣。更為荒唐的是,當(dāng)愛麗絲的球正要碰上王后的球時,不是王后的刺猬球拔腿跑走了,就是愛麗絲的火烈鳥球桿飛上樹去了,要么就是球?qū)⒁M門時,那個士兵球門卻走開散步去了。紅桃王后脾氣暴躁,動不動就叫嚷著要砍別人的頭。柴郡貓惹皇后生氣,被判砍頭,但貓的身子消失了,劊子手不知怎樣去砍沒有身子的頭。最后王后又下令砍掉不肯對荒唐事作證的愛麗絲的頭,愛麗絲勇敢反抗,結(jié)果被驚醒了,她發(fā)現(xiàn)一切奇遇原來只是一場夢幻。
故事中的主人公愛麗絲,她是一個十分可愛的小女孩,讓我在閱讀中情不自禁地喜歡上她。她天真活潑,有一顆純真的童心,對一切未知的東西充滿著好奇,具有豐富的想象力。她喜歡把自己演成兩個人對話。在一次槌球比賽中,由于她騙了自己,她就打自己一記耳光,甚至有時候還會把自己罵哭。看到桌子上的瓶子上寫著“喝吧”,她還要檢查一下上面有沒有標(biāo)著“毒藥”二字,她可愛的舉動讓我想到我在平時受到的教育:陌生人給的東西不能吃。她的小腦瓜裝滿了奇思妙想,她把老鼠講的故事想象成老鼠尾巴一樣的形狀,還拐了五個彎,她看到陪審員從廂座里翻倒出來,她想起自己失手打翻的魚缸和滿地亂蹦的金魚,讓人忍俊不禁。她還懂禮貌、善良、富有同情。在掉下兔子洞的過程中,她不愿意把空罐頭瓶扔下去,因為害怕砸了下面的人。她講話口無遮攔,當(dāng)著老鼠的面總是提到“貓狗逮老鼠” 的事情,氣得老鼠傷心離開,事后她又拼命地道歉。正是這種純凈的童真,才讓這篇故事讀起來趣味橫生,讓人愛不釋手。
有著一顆水晶般心靈的愛麗絲,以及她那讓人眼花繚亂的奇遇,把我?guī)У搅艘粋€美麗的童話世界。在這里可以盡情地哭,盡情地笑,身心放松不受任何拘束,還能經(jīng)歷那么多有趣的讓人向往的事情,實在是太美妙了。我真想插上想象的翅膀,飛進愛麗絲的夢境中與她一起漫游!
第三篇:老人與海(英文書評)
老人與海(The Old Man and the Sea)英文書評(book reviews)
這本書講了古巴(Cuba)的一個名叫圣地亞哥的老漁夫,獨自一個人出海打魚,在一無所獲(to achieve nothing)的84天之后釣到了一條無比巨大的馬林魚。這是老人從來沒見過也沒聽說過的比他的船還長兩英尺的一條大魚。魚的勁(vigor)非常大,拖(to drag)著小船漂流了整整兩天兩夜,老人在這兩天兩夜中經(jīng)歷了從未經(jīng)受的艱難考驗,終于把大魚刺(to stab)死,拴(to tie)在船頭(the bow)。然而這時卻遇上了鯊魚(a shark),老人與鯊魚進行了殊死搏斗(put up a good fight),結(jié)果大馬林魚被鯊魚吃光了,老人最后拖回只剩下一副光禿禿bald的魚骨架(a fish skeleton)和一身(all over the body)的傷。最后卻得到了人們的贊賞。
《老人與海》完全可能成為當(dāng)代一部名副其實的經(jīng)典作品。厄納斯特·海明威的這部短篇小說處理方法謹嚴(exact)、注意時間和地點的統(tǒng)一(unite),行文(a style of writing)簡潔而內(nèi)涵(intension)很深(deep)。另外,和極大多數(shù)巨著(a great work)一樣,海明威的這篇小說讀起來可有不止一層的意思。一方面,這是一個激動人心的帶有悲劇性(tragedy)的冒險故事。故事講到一個精神沮喪(depress)的老漁人,在他對職業(yè)的自豪感的支持之下,冒險遠航至墨西哥灣流并在那里釣住了一條該水域中從未見過的最大的馬林魚。故事接著說到他孤零零地、在因奮力叉住這條大魚而耗盡了力氣之后,被迫投入一場和一群海盜似的鯊魚的絕望的搏斗之中,結(jié)果是那些鯊魚只給他留下了獵獲物的一具骨架。另一方面,這又是一個寓言,它描述
(describe)了人所具有(possess)的不可征服(conquer)的精神力量——一個人如何從災(zāi)難和實際失敗的環(huán)境中攫取精神上的勝利。再一方面,這是帶有宗教意義的一種隱喻(a metaphor),作者不引人注目地給這一主題添加了基督教(Christian)的一些象征和比喻。一種注意寫實(writing or painting realistically),有著動人的情節(jié)(plot);另一種則側(cè)重(to lay special emphasis on)道德說教,充滿象征(badge)的意義。
Translation:(book reviews)
This book tells us a story about a Cuban old man.He went fishing at sea on his own.After more than eighty four days , he fished an extremely large fish.The old man hadn’t ever seen such a big fish that was two meters longer than his boat.The vigor of fish was sostrong that it dragged the boat drifting for two days.During the two days,the old man experienced the difficulties that he had never met with.Finally,he stabbed it and tied the fish on the bow.However,he came across a shark.Then,the old man put up a good fight with a shark.As a result, the fish was eaten by the shark.So,the old man carried a bald fish skeleton and being hurt all over the body to reach home.But in the end, he attained admiration by people.The Old Man and the Sea is one of Hemingway's most immortal
works.The book may very well become one of the true classics of this generation.Certainly, Ernest Hemingway's short novel is processed exact , well united time and places and it’s style of writing is very deep.In addition, as the most great works, his novel contains not only one meaning.First of all,this is an exciting tragedy adventure story.Because I see a picture how an old man killed the large fish and fought a shark via his wisdom.Furthermore, it’s also a fable that describes a spirit strength------how a person achieved success from a bad envirnoment.Lastly, the story implied a religious metaphor as well.The author added some Christian symbols and figure of speech inconspicuously.So, in my opinion, this novel tells not only a moving plot,but also lays special emphasis on moral meanings that are full of the symbol of badge.The spirit that the old man possessed impressed me deeply.meaning

When Pride Encounters Prejudice, Everything is Different
—the report of Pride and Prejudice
張文瑩 Nancy 外漢一班 0091114047
Ⅰ:
Jane Austen(16 December 1775 – 18 July 1817), one of the most famous novelists in Britain, was born in Hampshire.She lived in the villages throughout her life.Although there were 2 suitors, she never married.She finished her first novel when she was only 21 years old.This work’s name was First Impressions(After amending, it had a new name: Pride and Prejudice).Ⅱ:
Pride and Prejudice is a humorous story of love and marriage.Mr.Bennet was an English gentleman living in Hertfordshire with his wife.He had five daughters: the beautiful Jane, the clever Elizabeth, the bookish Mary, the immature Kitty and the wild Lydia.Because of the law, after the death of Mr.Bennet, their house would be inherited by a distant cousin whom they have never met.This family's future happiness and security dependent on the 5 daughters’ marriages.One day, a rich gentleman Mr.Bingley came and rented a large house in this country.His sisters and his best friend Mr.Darcy came together.Love was soon in the air for one of the 5 sisters, while another had a prejudice against Mr.Darcy.Then they experienced many things, but at last, Mr.Bingley married the oldest sister Jane, and Elizabeth overcame the prejudice and married to Mr.Darcy.It’s a happy ending.Ⅲ:
Although Mr.Song said the book report should be objective,but I had to say this book touched my heart deeply.The women written by Jane Austen still live in our world.Some like Charlotte Lucas, they choose a marriage without love just for money and a stable life.Some like Lydia, they are so frivolous and foolish that they flatter themselves that they can do anything well.Some like Mary, they are not good-looking but think themselves are the best ones.They look down every man while they are eager for a man’s love in their hearts.Some like Jane, they are kind and beautiful, but they are also reserved and feminine。They don’t have courage to fight for the love of their own but wait here in vain.And there are also some girls like innocent Ms Darcy or like vainglorious and superficially clever Bingley sisters.Of course, some girls like Elizabeth, they are clever, gentle, open-minded, and they know their own hearts.They never give in even facing a difficult situation.1
They are good ladies who are worth loving and cherishing.Jane Austen’s wisdom always appeals to me, which makes me smile through the whole reading.In fact, the life of Jane Austen was unremarkable,she nearly didn’t leave the villages where she lived.Therefore, in her books, you can’t find any historical plots or any abstruse things making you feel bored.She just wrote some common people about their happiness, little trouble, sorrow and perplexity again and again by her keen observation and her outstanding ability of writing.Although those stories happened in the villages of Britain 200 years ago, they are vivid today.Maybe she was not really a great writer in the world, but she is the cleverest and cutest woman in my heart.However, reality is not the novel.It is always cruel.Jane Austen never married throughout her life, her best friend was her sister.She was such a clever and naughty girl, whose gentleness and beauty were ignored.It’s a pity that there was no one like Mr.Darcy to appreciate and love her.Jane Austen and Eileen Chang were very like.Their works had many things in common.For example, both of their works focused on the life which they were familiar with, and they both had the sharp observation.Although they liked to write some satires, Austen was gentler than Eileen Chang.In Pride and Prejudice, you can find some very interesting dialogues.Such as in the CHAPTER 1, Mrs.Bonnet said: “Mr.Bennet, how can you abuse your own children in such a way? You take delight in vexing me.You have no compassion on my poor nerves.” “You mistake me, my dear.I have a high respect for your nerves.They are my old friends.I have heard you mention them with consideration these 20 years at least.” the Mr.Bennet answered with a forced smile.What sarcastic humor it contained!She successfully depicted Mrs.Bennet as a woman of mean understanding, little information, and uncertain temper by few words.And the two of them left a deep and clear imprison on the readers.Love is the eternal theme of novels.Pride and Prejudice was no exception, but it not only talked about “l(fā)ove”, also mentioned “marriage”.The novels about love or marriage are countless in the world.So standing out among them is not an easy thing.Pride and Prejudice can be one of the masterpieces and be loved by thousands upon thousands people from different countries, which proves that it does have its special glamour.I mainly want to talk about Elizabeth’s 2 rejections.As readers or outsiders,we can easily reject anyone and don’t accept a marriage without love just for respecting our own hearts.But if you think it over and read the book again, you will find it needs great courage to reject a man who can support you a life without worrying about clothes and food.Rejecting her cousin Mr.Collins, an unpleasant person, seemed easy, however, her best friend Charlotte chose to marry him.This contrast shows very clearly that this rejection is difficult for a woman in those days.Maybe you can find some reasons to explain why Elizabeth did that to Mr.Collins, but I’m sure there is no reason to refuse Mr.Darcy’s marriage proposal.He was such a perfect gentleman!Elizabeth couldn’t inherit her father’s fortune, which meant she had to marry a rich man to support her and live a comfortable life.But faced with Mr.Darcy, she said “no” without any hesitation.When Darcy proposed to her by saying his sense of her inferiority-of its being a degradation-of the family obstacles which judgment had always opposed to inclination.Elizabeth said: “It is nature that obligation should be felt, and if I could feel gratitude, I would now thank you.But I cannot —I have never desired your good opinion, and you have certainly bestowed it most unwillingly.”
I like this self-respecting girl and look down upon those girls who give in just for fortune, fame, even some petty profits
In fact, I don’t like a happy ending.I think a tragedy is more attractive and can reach the deepest part of my heart while a comedy is read just for relaxation.But I am also moved by this story.Pride gave way to sincerity,prejudice was replaced by love.They lived a happy life together.We can image that they sat on the lakeside bench at twilight and talked about that green years when the pride met the prejudice。
第五篇:傲慢與偏見書評(英文)
The book review of Pride and Prejudice
管寧
Pride and Prejudice is a novel by Jane Austen, first published in 1813.The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England.After reading this book, I find that its name, Pride and Prejudice, is quite meaningful.Both the pride and prejudice are caused by money and social hierarchy.Jane reflected the reality of society by drawing the characters of specific person as well as the tongue they used when they speak.Some people think that only Mr.Darcy was proud and only Elizabeth had prejudice towards other else.But I hold the different opinion.When a wealthy young bachelor, Bingley, moving into Netherfield Park in the neighborhood of the Bennet family, he is soon well-received because of his income of 5000 a year and possibility of marrying one of the young girls in the town.It’s quite easy to see the whole society was chasing down money and fame.That is a good background that the writer successfully set, making the following things sound reasonable.The Bennets' cousin Mr Collins, a clergyman, was proud of his rich patroness, the noble Lady Catherine de Bourgh.After being refused by Elizabeth of the offer of marriage, Mr Collins soon recovered and promptly became engaged to Elizabeth's close friend who pointed out that Mr Collins is a good, respectful, well-employed man which is absolutely untrue.How eager was she to have financial security by marrying a, what to say, kind of rich and powerful husband.We wonder whether the society had real love.When Elizabeth went to visit her married girlfriend Charlotte and Mr Collins, she was to meet Mr.Darcy more frequently.Mr Darcy finds himself, again, attracted to Elizabeth and proposes to her.While talking to each other, Elizabeth charged him with pride, with destroying her sister's happiness, with his disgraceful treatment of Mr Wickham, and with having conducted himself in an ungentlemanly manner.All the reasons of her prejudice towards Darcy were shown in no other.However, after reading the letter sent to clear himself by Mr.Darcy, Elizabeth came to acknowledge the truth of Mr Darcy's assertions.Later, Elizabeth realized what a kind, amiable and considerate person Mr.Darcy was little by little.While facing the unreasonable order from Lady Catherine de Bourgh of never marrying her nephew, Elizabeth refused to low her head, believing that everyone had right to chase their own happiness.However, lady Catherine believed her to be too low born for her nephew, Mr Darcy, upon hearing this, realized that Elizabeth's opinion of him may have changed and again proposes.We are never too surprised to find that the elegant noble lady Catherine who represented the highest class of Britain was so arrogant under such a mammonish society.But the combination of Darcy and Elizabeth proved that after so many generations living in such a material society and being told forever marrying to money and fame, the true love from the heart
and soul has not perished from the earth.
