英语小说读后感【一】 A Book of All Times

——Thoughts given by Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son

Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife. In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories. Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally

published by Oxford University Press.

As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son. Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher. The school master Dr. Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help. Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr. Huxtable back to Mackleton by train. Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger. Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.

Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book. As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”. At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a

client. However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it. As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive. Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Ar thur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr. Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes. In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one. After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this

ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well. While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill. Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film. Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.

As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case. Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres. What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well. Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with. Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a GREat discovery or even the truth itself. From his speaking “Eve ry mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with

great intelligence and inflexible will. In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.

Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life. The “Holmes series” has already set up a standard against which all the following detective fictions are measured. Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has become a name firmly rooted in people’s memories. Although Dr. Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a GREat pity to the readers, the discon tinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.

英语小说读后感【二】My favourite book

Do you know Harry Potter? It’s one of my favourite sparetime readings and it’s written by J. K. Rowling. She had t he idea about Harry Potter when she was on train, “Harry just walked into my head.” She said later. She started writing the first edition of Harry Potter the next day.

Harry Potter is a magical school student who wears glasses and has no parents, now he is 16 years old. He is very

brave and known by everyone because he is the only person who will not die by devil. At school, he has two good friends, they are Rone and Henry.

When read the book my first time, I feel very exciting and interesting. So I read it again and again, each time I have different feelings, sometimes I even feel as if I’m one of Potter’s partners. Now there are five edition of Harry Potter published and they are very popular with young students. Books about Harry Potter have sold millions of copies all over the world. Do you like Harry Potter? If you haven’t rea

d th

落、自私、愚昧、自负、欺骗或冷漠所掌控,但是,总有那么一个时刻(往往在接近小说结尾处),奥康纳会安排上帝的恩惠(或曰天惠)降临到他们身上。在这圣灵显现的一瞬间,这些人物突然受到某种精神上的启迪,进而达到某种“顿悟”,他们也许会接受这一天惠,也许会拒绝它,但不管怎样,这一灵光闪现的“天惠时刻”会使他们的内心发生改变。——比目鱼,书评人 2. 朱诺?迪亚斯:《沉溺》 选自小说集《沉溺》《沉溺》里面的九个小短篇和一个准中篇都是以朱诺?迪亚斯自己和他的家庭的真实经历为蓝本书写出来的半自传作品,它所处理的是一个移民家族心灵史上最特殊的时段:移民前在多米尼加共和国的等待期和移民初期在美国的无望岁月。朱诺?迪亚斯在写这些“少作”的时候,还没有获得他后来的作品中罗伯特?波拉尼奥式的喷薄的语言强度,但这种语流清浅、句法简朴的写法与作者的青春期原型所附体的叙述者尤尼尔非常合拍:如此“低限度”的风格,恰好能够为那些在生理、心理与地理的转换交接处所蛰伏的晦暗不明的能量提供随机释放的可能性。——胡续东,作家 3. 米兰达·裘丽:《楼梯上的男人》

外语原版小说阅读技巧与策略

外语原版小说阅读技巧与策略 1. why to read original edition novel 要想真正提高外语水平,阅读原版小说是必经之路,正如不是每个人都能成为外语高手一样, 不是每个人都能够有毅力读完N本原版小说的.(我特佩服门卫,能够把一本<飘>都上N遍,如果我有这种毅力的话,早就成为高手了…) 2. fundamental conditions 语法:系统准确的掌握语法. 基本上,如果是E,高中毕业以后这一点都达到了 词汇: 熟练词汇>2.5k, 认知词汇>5k 工具书:一本C-E, 一本E-E,或者用文曲星代替,但我偏好字典——词汇认知学指出,词汇的记忆效果与词汇的检索时间正相关(我现在读法文,由3本D, F-C,F-E,F-F) 3. 选材,仁者见仁,就我个人而言, 我偏好当代中篇作品(我现在选了一本Marcel Pagnol 写于1957年的<父亲的荣耀>, 280pages) 4. 前期工作: 查找百科全书或相应的工具书,了解到作者的生平,作品,世人的评价. 5. 阅读中的词汇学习: 每天阅读6 pages(6X225=1350字),在阅读过程中碰到new words先做标记,读完后再查D, 把生词记载在本子上,并及时背诵(我现在最怕的就是这一点,会不会半途而废???) 6. how to read 我准备默读, 这是我的习惯,朗读太费尽了,泛读也没有意义,介于精泛之间 7. read what 我主要研究其词汇搭配.词汇的用法是语言中最难的,比如,法语中最简单的一个介词à,用法不计其数,在大型D上有好几页,为什么同样的词汇在名家手下就生龙活虎,到了我的手下就一潭死水呢?我认为这应该是读原版小说的最根本目的.

《杰克伦敦短篇小说选》读后感_800字

《杰克伦敦短篇小说选》读后感_800字 这个寒假我花了二个星期在网上阅读了《杰克伦敦短篇小说选》。这是一本想快读却读不快的一本书,我认为。《杰克·伦敦短篇小说选》精选了杰克·伦敦较有代表性的短篇小说,包括《热爱生命》、《北方的奥德赛》、《为赶路的人干杯》、《黄金谷》、《强者的力量》等。杰克·伦敦是美国20 世纪著名的现实主义作家,是美国文学史上最重要的作家之一。杰克伦敦先生写的是一个时代的缩影。 他的文中到处是蛮荒,冰雪,野性和文明的交碰是那么剧烈,开拓者们挣扎在各种的绝境里,在原始蛮荒下人的血性被逼出,生命的张力和韧性让人震动。然而现实社会的我们明明在幸福的生活,却往往身在福中不知福。考试不及格、和父母吵架、零花钱不够花、父母偷看了你的秘密,我们便要死要活的。天灾人祸也往往会提醒我们:我们现在是多么美好,要珍惜现在,热爱生命!热爱生命,是每一个生命体最基本、最不可缺少的基质,也是自己最不可放弃的权利,也是自己最不可让渡的责任。 热爱自己的生命,热爱生命世界,乃是教育最不可背叛的基点。在许多著名的章节中让我最有感触的是<银白色寂静>。这是讲述三个人和狼狗们在雪地里和生命斗争的故事。杰克伦敦将人物们置于极端严酷、生死攸关的环境之

下,以此展露人性中最深刻、最真实的品格。虽然结局不尽人意,但却可以为人类敲响警钟。其 中我也摘选了许多好词好句:1。我所看到的,是征服的迷人力量,是血色冒险及黄金潮的迷人力量。……生命既勇敢又狂野,而我正经历着我阅读了无数遍的冒险生活。2。承担起自己生命的责任,如这里的主人公一般。完整地说:“自己”热爱生命、包括自己的生命3。人生的劳役,莫过于在北极地带跋涉。在这萧索的无人区行进,如果沉默一天就能一路平安,乃是最高的快乐了。4。时光在流逝,这白色的寂静令旅人为之敬畏,他们全心全意地专注于自己的苦役。天地有众多手腕使人类感到自我的渺小和生命的可贵——汹涌的潮汐、狂猛的风暴、慑人的地震、轰隆的雷电——但一切手腕莫过于这白色的寂静。5。“砰”,一声枪响,梅森接着被弹向他的空中之墓。基德鞭打着狗群,雪橇在雪原上狂奔。我想以上便是我阅读《杰克伦敦短篇小说选》的感触及收获。

经典英文短篇小说 (108)

The Romance of a Busy Broker by O. Henry Pitcher, confidential clerk in the office of Harvey Maxwell, broker, allowed a look of mild interest and surprise to visit his usually expressionless countenance when his employer briskly entered at half past nine in company with his young lady stenographer. With a snappy "Good-morning, Pitcher," Maxwell dashed at his desk as though he were intending to leap over it, and then plunged into the great heap of letters and telegrams waiting there for him. The young lady had been Maxwell's stenographer for a year. She was beautiful in a way that was decidedly unstenographic. She forewent the pomp of the alluring pompadour. She wore no chains, bracelets or lockets. She had not the air of being about to accept an invitation to luncheon. Her dress was grey and plain, but it fitted her figure with fidelity and discretion. In her neat black turban hat was the gold-green wing of a macaw. On this morning she was softly and shyly radiant. Her eyes were dreamily bright, her cheeks genuine peachblow, her expression a happy one, tinged with reminiscence. Pitcher, still mildly curious, noticed a difference in her ways this morning. Instead of going straight into the adjoining room, where her desk was, she lingered, slightly irresolute, in the outer office. Once she moved over by Maxwell's desk, near enough for him to be aware of her presence. The machine sitting at that desk was no longer a man; it was a busy New York broker, moved by buzzing wheels and uncoiling springs. "Well--what is it? Anything?" asked Maxwell sharply. His opened mail lay like a bank of stage snow on his crowded desk. His keen grey eye, impersonal and brusque, flashed upon her half impatiently. "Nothing," answered the stenographer, moving away with a little smile. "Mr. Pitcher," she said to the confidential clerk, did Mr. Maxwell say anything yesterday about engaging another stenographer?" "He did," answered Pitcher. "He told me to get another one. I notified the agency yesterday afternoon to send over a few samples this morning. It's 9.45 o'clock, and not a single picture hat or piece of pineapple chewing gum has showed up yet." "I will do the work as usual, then," said the young lady, "until some one comes to fill the place." And she went to her desk at once and hung the black turban hat with the gold-green macaw wing in its accustomed place. He who has been denied the spectacle of a busy Manhattan broker during a rush of business is handicapped for the profession of anthropology. The poet sings

Isaac Bashevis Singer 艾萨克·巴什维斯·辛格(Isaac Bashevis Singer,1904-1991)美国作家。出生于沙俄统治下的波兰,祖父与父亲都是犹太教的长老。他从小接受正统犹太教教育,学习希伯来文和意第绪文,熟悉犹太教的经典和宗教仪式以及犹太民族的风俗习惯等,这一切都铸就了他作品的重要特色。由于受到作家和记者的哥哥的影响,他违背父命,走进了华沙犹太人文学界。在哥哥的帮助下,1935年迁居美国纽约。 辛格15岁开始文学创作。迄今为止已创作30余部作品,全都用意第绪文写成,大部分已译成英文。长篇小说《莫斯卡特一家》(195o)、《庄园》(1967)和《农庄》(1969)等主要写在现代文明和排犹主义双重压力下,波兰犹太社会的解体过程,其中《庄园》是这类作品的代表作。另一类小说主要写爱情与宗教问题,主要作品有《撒旦在戈雷》(1955)、《卢布林的魔术师》(196o)、《奴隶》(1962)、《仇敌;一个爱情故事)(1972)和《童爱)(1979)等。其中最著名的是《卢布林的魔术师》,西方评论家说它是辛格最佳的长篇小说。 辛格的短篇小说创作也很突出,至今已发表I0余部短篇小说集,重要的有《傻瓜吉姆佩尔及其他故事》(1957)、《市场街的斯宾诺莎》(1961)、《羽毛的王冠》(1973)、《短篇小说集》(1982)、《意象集》(1985)、《梅休塞拉赫之死及其他故事》(1988)等。此外还有2个剧本、3部回忆录。11部儿童故事集。1978年,由于“他的充满激情的叙事艺术,这种艺术既扎根于波兰犹太人的文化传统,又反映了人类的普遍处境”,辛格获诺贝尔文学奖。 辛格被称为当代最会讲故事的作家。在创作上,他尊重传统,又吸收了意第绪文学中的营养,创造出自己的独特风格。他的小说有不少以性爱为题材,他认为“在爱情和性爱中比在任何其他关系中,人的本性显露得更充分”。但他不耽于色情描写,而重在探索和揭示激情对个人命运的影响。他主张作家创作要起到娱乐读者的作用,让读者得到艺术享受。所以他的故事叙述生动,文笔轻松幽默,作品中丰富的成语和活泼的句法受到评论界的高度赞扬,认为那是任何译文无法传达的。

英语短篇小说-菊花

The Chrysanthemum Elisa Allen, a woman approaching middle age, is at a point in her life when she has begun to realize that her energy and creative drive far exceed the opportunities for their expression. Her marriage is reasonably happy—when she notices that her husband is proud of selling thirty head of steers he has raised, she gives him the compliment he hopes for, while he, in turn, appreciates her ability to grow flowers of exceptional quality. There is an easy banter between them, and while they have settled into a fairly familiar routine, they are still responsive to each other’s moods, and eager to celebrate an achievement in each other’s company with a night on the town. On the other hand, their marriage is childless, and Elisa generally wears bland, bulging clothes that tend to de-sex her. Their house is described as “hard-swept” and “hard-polished”; it is the only outlet for her talents and it is an insufficient focus for her energy. She has begun to sense that an important part of her is lying dormant and that the future will be predictable and rather mundane.

高中英语阅读提高方法之原版小说阅读

高中英语阅读提高方法之原版小说阅读英语原版小说阅读的必要性 良好的阅读素养是英语学习的重要部分,是关系到个人发展的重要因素,更是提升国民素质、增强国家竞争力的重要基础。为全面提高学生的阅读素养,提高做题正确率,特总结以下建议在实践中,我们发现现行英语教材在阅读素材方面有待完善。例如,原版英语阅读量不足,英语阅读材料不够地道纯正等。教材与初中学生的需求存在以下三点差异: ?第一,词汇量偏少; ?第二,课本中的语言和内容有的经过了加工,如对原文做了删节; ?第三,能让学生产生真实情感共鸣的文章不多。 调查显示,多数学生头脑中对语言的认知比较零散、孤立,呈现出碎片化倾向。这与使用现行英语教材教学的局限性有关。 因此,英语阅读课有必要引入大量原版阅读材料,以满足学生对语言和信息的需要,为整体提升学生的阅读素养提供文化资源。而在阅读课中以思维训练为主的阅读策略的指导,又有利于学生在课外培养独立自主的学习习惯。 2019年至今,笔者所在的英语教研组在初中阶段开展了适合学生英语语言水平和心智发展水平的英语原版小说阅读教学。 在英语必修课上,我们为学生提供充足的、原汁原味的语言素材,大多数是选自获得美国纽伯瑞儿童文学奖的小说。这个奖项每年颁发一次,专门奖励上一年度出版的英语儿童文学优秀作品。此奖项设立近百年来,对美国以及世界儿童文学有着极大的影响。凡获纽伯瑞奖的书籍,皆被列入英语国家英语课必读书籍。另外,我们所用的小说也有选自获得美国图书馆协会最佳青少年读物奖的小说。这些优秀的文学作品是很多美国中小学五至九年级暑期推荐书目中出现频率最高的小说。如: ?Bridge to Terabithia ?Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry ?Number the Stars ?The Giver ?Hoot ?The One and Only Ivan ?Charlotte’s Web ?Island of the Blue Dolphins ?Holes ?Freak the Mighty 英语原版小说阅读的主要益处 1提升学生的文化鉴赏能力 经典的文学作品以生动流畅的语言、匠心独运的构思,细腻鲜活地描写了丰满的人物形象和引人入胜的故事情节;穿越时代和地域,展现人类对于生命意义、友情、亲情、爱和人性等永恒主题的深刻追问。以经典文学作品作为阅读材料,可以使学生获得地道的语言输入,而这些文字更有一种直抵心灵深处的力量,激励着学生潜心阅读,开启心智,因此是使学生受益终生的精神财富。 2塑造学生的情感态度和价值观 初中生正处在人生观和价值观形成的关键期。在英语原版小说阅读课上,教师是学生思想品格的辅导员和引领者。在培养学生阅读能力的同时,我们更有责任去塑造他们积极向上的情感态度和价值观。 英语原版小说中的故事和人物取材于生活,在吸引学生阅读兴趣的同时,也能激发学生的真情实感。学生在享受阅读的过程中真正做到“用心”去体会、去理解、去思考。我们在帮助学生解读他人的生活经历和情感态度的过程中,进一步鼓励学生在体验与联想中丰富自己的人生经历,把小说中珍惜友情、重视

英文短篇小说读后感(英文)

小王子读后感 Despite I’baive not in my childhood yet, I still prefer reading fairy-tale stories. The tales, which accompany with me in my old days, often make me think of some precious experience and sensation which only belong to children. This summer I’ve review this kind of tale, which was published in 1940. It’s the world-famous fairy-tale by the French author, Antoine de St-Exupery, The Little Prince. As many other fairy-tales, the outline of The Little Prince is not very complex. “duI”, the narrator of the story, is a pilot whose plane has something wrong and lands in the Sahara. In this occasion, the pilot makes the acquaintance of the little prince, a little boy from another planet, the Asteroid B612. The little prince has escaped from his tiny planet, because he has some quarrel with a rose, which grows on his planet. In that case he left his own planet and took an exploration at some neighbor asteroids. On his all-alone journey, the little prince meets different kinds of people, which includes a king, a conceited man, a tippler, a businessman, a lamplighter and a geographer. From these people he gets a conclusion that the grown-ups are very odd. Following the instruction of the geographer, he descends in the Sahara, on the earth. Unbelievable, this little book moved me a lot. I seldom think about the true meaning of love and life before. Well, now I can say, with my short

宁波大学考核答题纸 (2014—2015学年第一学期) 课号:063W22A09 课程名称:英语短片小说选读改卷教师:阿德尔 学号:116070035 姓名:石佳得分: The Epiphany for Love Dubliners is often considered as the reflection of ethnic history in Dublin which, is stuffed by the ubiquitous “paralysis”. The corruption in social life, in politics even in people’s spirit is said to have made great impression in reader’s mind. However, with the skinny experience for no more than twenty years, I dare not conclude the thesis or the main idea of this opus in haste, while I could also not just allow myself to follow those comments and opinions made by “they”. Among the chapters I have read, Araby s eems to appeal to me most, because I have once had the same feeling of that little boy. This kind of feeling, literally, the epiphany for love, is the sweetest emotion and the most endurable torture I’ve ever experienced. There seems to be three periods of time during the process of the epiphany for love but to summarize with suitable words is undoubtedly a knotty issue. What comes first must be the admiration for the one who possesses neat skin, delicate facial features or slim figure, or even just a special nice odor. Since an occasion even you yourself cannot remember for sure, a figure has inserted into your little world and driven you to do crazy things. The shadow turned to the base to watch her; the hall witnessed numerous bumping into each other and in that corner the light from the lamp opposite the door caught the white curve of her neck, lit up her hair that rested there and, falling, lit up the hand upon the railing. What a magic feeling! But as you gradually sank in this dramatic journey, the inexplicable confusion and loneliness began to kidnap you. You found that you were not only the idle but also the weirdo nobody understands including yourself. Her name was like a summons to all your foolish body and her words and gestures were like fingers running upon the wires. With this confused adoration, sometimes even an unnoticeable movement or sentence would annihilate the sunshine and the hesitation between “do” or “do not” always brought heavy rain. Asking help seems to be of no sense because adults were going to acting lightly even sometimes with contempt. So the only way is to lie on the floor in a dark evening murmuring her name. I believe that sex or the thoughts about sex must accompany though there is no such description between the lines. And this kind of confusion and loneliness cannot be removed until she refuses which is sure to leave the unbearable pain for you to learn from, or luckily, accepts, which means you are going to exploring the sealed world together. Then the epiphany for love seems to be accomplished. No one can bypass the enlightenment of love to achieve the epiphany. And only by experiencing the sweetest emotion and the most endurable torture at the same time can people really get to know the original taste of love.
