英语短篇小说读后感

契诃夫是世界文坛上一位罕见的艺术家。他的小说经受了百年的时间检验,依然闪耀着独特的艺术光彩。契诃夫的着眼点总是平凡的人的日常生活,他是个描写日常生活中的最平凡事情的现实主义者。但是他从不陷入日常生活的“泥沼”,他对生活素材认真细致地进行“观察、选择”,而在创作过程中又进行“推测、组合”,使生活素材形象化,平平常常的似乎是偶然的现象中揭示出生活的本质。

所以我很喜欢契诃夫的作品。在这本短篇小说选中,我最喜欢的还是其中的《变色龙》,《钉子上》和《万卡》。

《变色龙》告诉了我们:在沙皇俄国将军家中的一条狗比平民百姓还要重要,巡逻官奥楚美洛夫之流在有权势者的家犬前摇尾乞怜,而对老百姓却张牙舞爪,蛮横娇纵。《变色龙》就是契诃夫送给人世的一面镜子,一个警示,在百余年后的今天同样还是有人身上有着“变色龙”的奴性,表里不一;《万卡》可以说是《苦恼》的姐妹篇。都是抒情心理短篇小说。主要写的是:九岁童工的稚真心灵,他的学徒生活的苦楚,他对祖父和家乡的眷恋——这一切在篇幅不大的作品中巧妙地互相穿插和渗透,短短几页字就写出了童工生活中的酸甜苦辣,给读者留下了深刻的印象;短篇小说《钉

子上》和《一个文官之死》一样,都展现了但是沙皇俄国在官场上的丑态:强者霸道、倨傲专横,弱者低头哈腰、不敢反抗。臭虫般的切尔维亚科夫以及他的奴才们的心理正是这种官场生活的产物。

读了这本小说选后,我更能体会到当时沙皇俄国官场上的险恶与蛮横,也看清了当时和如今的“变色龙”就是墙头草,哪边是强者就拥护哪边,即使那强者并不是善良的那一方。《契诃夫短篇小说选》给我了很多启迪,让我了解到不少沙皇俄国的当年!

英语短篇小说读后感莫泊桑是19世纪末法国伟大的批判现实主义作家和短篇小说家、自然主义文学流派的杰出代表,与契珂夫、欧?亨利并称为“世界三大短篇小说之王”。他的小说以其精湛的艺术技巧和行云流水般的文笔、及纯粹的语言,成为展现法语美丽的典范之作,在法国乃至世界文学史上占据着无可替代的地位。经典名篇《羊脂球》、《项链》、《我的叔叔于勒》等享誉世界。

莫泊桑讲述故事中的主人公,大多是小人物,有诺曼底狡猾的农民、慷慨的工匠、受欺凌的女佣、小职员、小店主、小市民,也有比市民还世俗的破落贵绅、富商、工厂主,以及野心勃勃的政客。例如《项链》中因爱慕虚荣而毁了一生的小市民,《羊脂球》中,有爱国骨气的妓女和软骨头的富

商与乡绅,在敌人面前的不同表现,《一家子》中为争取遗产而大打出手的一家人,《两个朋友》中宁死也不肯将通行口令告诉敌人一对友人,《莫兰这只公猪》中好色而愚蠢的服装店老板……

讲故事,讲俗人俗事,表现人生百态,这是人类有史以来最喜闻乐见的文学形式,也是世俗文学最鲜明的一个特点。莫泊桑的短篇小说就是体现这种文学传统的典范。所谓喜也人生,悲也人生;莫泊桑的故事,就是在讲人生。而我们也能从他叙述的这些日常故事和人的寻常行为中,看到其蕴含的丰富人生哲理和深刻的事物法则。

英语短篇小说读后感契柯夫,欧亨利,莫泊桑这三个耳熟能详的名字想必每个人都知道,作为世界三大小说之王的他们用细腻的笔触描绘了那个时代的黑暗与沧桑。在这个第一次在初中度过的秋天里,我有幸读到欧亨利的小说。

在欧亨利的笔下,每个人都被刻画得淋漓尽致:富人的贪婪,穷苦人民的善良,社会的黑暗……当翻开第一个故事《麦琪的礼物》时,我不由得为这对年轻夫妇感到悲哀,2人昔日感到彼此珍贵的东西到现在却成了无用的东西;但我又为2人感到欣慰,因为他们得到了比表链和梳子套装更珍贵的东西——爱,他们告诉我们要尊重他人的爱,学会去爱他人,这难道不是人与人之间相处的基本规则么?

我用一丝惋惜翻去麦琪给予的礼物,展现在眼前的是《警察与赞美诗》,文中的苏比想去监狱熬过冬天,几次惹是生非。当听到赞美诗想改邪归正时,却被意外的逮捕。这出乎意料的结局,令人感到捧腹有心酸。

欧亨利借苏比的故事反映了当时社会的无情与残酷。主人公借助许多坏事扰乱社会,这也反映了资本主义社会下层人民的精神痛苦。

欧亨利为了表达对资本主义社会的不满,把手中的笔当作武器,大量运用穷富的对比手法,揭示自己作为一名作家对这个社会爱莫能助的忧伤。

欧亨利的作品中,幽默代替了酸楚,流露出自己对被命运捉弄的穷苦人民的悲惨情绪。

如今的社会早已不是那个颓废的年代,不再有那么多饱尝辛酸的人民。读着欧亨利的小说,我可以想象出那个年代的悲惨,一个个画面浮现在眼前……我不由得为欧亨利先生由衷敬佩。

外国名著英文读后感

外国名著英文读后感 We remember her self-respect and the clear situation on equality. In her opinion, everyone is the same at the God’s feet. Though there are differences in status、in property and also in appearance, but all the human being are equal in personality. And this was not merely a dream. Because she had large eyes which can earn others’ sympathy, even love. She had wonderful figure which can win others’ hearts. However, anything she got, anywhere she reached, had not come from her ambition. Things happened, and then she accepted. That‘s what she had just done ? just to accept willingly from the bottom of her heart. She was not at all an evil woman who would give anything for the fortune or fame. However, she would give uo something for a better life when her instinct defeated her intellect. Mary likes reading classic books. (Actually she is a pedant.) Kitty doesn’t have her own opinion but likes to follow her sister, Lydia. Lydia is a girl who follows exotic things, handsome man, and is somehow a little profligate. When I read the book, I can always find the same personalities in the society now. That is why I think this book is indeed the representative of the society in Britain in the 18th century. We can't imagine living in a world without light and sound,so we can't perceive the spiritual world of disabled people who are blind,deaf or even dumb.Have you ever thought if we lose our eyeslight and hearing one day ,how can we live the rest of our life ?Heller Keller in her famous essay"If I Had Three Days to See"gives us her answer. After reading the essay,Iwas deeply moved by Heller's spirit.Heller was blind ,deaf and dumb.She suffered much from such a great misfortune in her childhood,but her inner world was very rich.She longed for three day's lights to feel the world.She would like to see people who gave her love and friendship.In order to know the soul of human ,she planned to appreciate opera and literature.She intended to experience people's daily life. One of my friends had recommended the book Gone with the Wind almost two years’ ago, but my reading plan was just put off, for the book is really too thick and I even no courage to start. However, this semester I made my mind to read and I found myself was totally lost in the absorbing plots and the

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

正文 一、推介原因 这个在日韩广为流传的真实故事,感动了亿万人,成为在逆境中奋起,决不向命运低头的精神象征。在日本,该书的出版被形容为掉进了“一亿泪的海”;《读者》总编彭长城认为《一碗清汤荞麦面》是该刊创刊以来刊出的最感人的作品之一。 二、作者简介 栗良平.本名伊藤贡,日本著名作家、演讲家。1943年5月生于日本北海道。曾经从事过十多种职业。在综合医院任职十年,高中时代曾翻译安徒生童话而引起对口述童话的创作兴趣.。他利用业余时间收集四百多篇民间故事以各地方言亲自巡回讲述。主要作品有《纺织公主》《又听到二号汽笛》《穿越战国时代的天空》,而以《一碗清汤荞麦面》而成为儿童类畅销作家。 [思考] 母子三人为什么要在顾客都散尽后,才去北海亭面馆吃面? 那女人购买清汤荞麦面时,为什么“怯生生地问……”“可以吗? ” [参考答案] 命运的不幸,生活的艰难,在母亲心中刻上了深深的伤痕,每当除夕夜来临,他都有一种难以述说的复杂心情,既要与孩子过年又不愿在人前表现家境的窘迫,以至伤害孩子的自尊心,只得在顾客散尽时候去。 三人要一碗面的尴尬,这样晚的时间因吃一碗面而麻烦人的歉疚,使得母亲每次都怯生生的发问。 推介理由 有人曾说鲁迅是中国最痛苦的文人,那么卡夫卡也许可以称作奥匈帝国最痛苦的文人了。卡夫卡短暂的一生是在痛苦和孤独中度过的。“孤独感”与“死亡意识”几乎成了他创作的永恒主题。无论主人公如何抗争努力,强大无形的外来力量始终控制着一切,

短篇小说《猎手》赏析

短篇小说《猎手》赏析 贾平凹 的短篇小说 《猎手》玄幻怪诞,神秘奇崛,寓意深刻。要如何进行赏析呢? 《猎手》 是贾平凹的短篇小说集 《太白山记》 中的一篇, 该篇小说玄幻怪诞, 神秘奇崛,寓意深刻。2012 年江苏省连云港市中考语文试题 “理解感悟 ”部分有一道以该小说为材料的阅读分析题,该试题所设计的问题精准恰 当,能够客观地考查学生的阅读能力。选用名家经典作品来设计试题,显示出了 命题者的眼光和水平, 但这道题的参考答案部分有些值得商榷的地方。 本文试着 对这篇小说进行赏析,并对其中试题的部分答案加以商榷。 小说的开头用简洁精炼、朴实严谨的语言点明了故事 发生的环境和矛盾对立的双方,为故事的发展奠定了基础。“从太白 山的北麓往上,越往上树木越密越高,上到山的中腰再往上,树木则越稀越矮, 待到大稀大矮的境界,繁衍着狼的族类,也住了一户猎狼的人家。”作者 让故事在开阔宏大的场景中展开,从山麓到山腰再往上,犹如电影 画面一般形象地展现了猎手和狼生存的环境, “ 大稀大矮的境界 ”几个字暗示出狼生存的环境随着人类生存环境的不断扩张已经变得非常 狭小、极端险恶,猎手和狼的对立已经到了十分尖锐的地步。开门见山式的开头 为全文烘托出了紧张的气氛,使整个故事充满了张力。 接下来,作者用“粗脚大手”四个字表现出了猎手身体的强壮, “熟知狼的习性”暗示他猎狼历史长、经验 丰富, 用枪射击“声响狼倒”强调猎手射杀技术的高超, 暗示出 他在争斗中处于优势地位。本来能用枪猎狼,却偏要用棍虐杀;最后把狼吊起来 在狼的吼叫声中迅速剥掉狼皮, 这表现了猎手对待狼的极端残忍以及人性的缺失。 在这种力量悬殊的较量中,狼几乎绝了踪迹。“几年里,矮林中的狼竟被 猎杀尽了”,这句话在结构上承接上文进一步表现出了猎手猎狼技术的高 超,又启示下文表现猎手杀狼数量之多及造成的结果。当猎手把狼猎杀殆尽,没 有了敌人的猎手也百无聊赖,只能以喝酒解闷,“倏忽听见一声嚎叫,鸟

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.

The-Raven中英文赏析

哥特式文学首先盛行于18,19世纪的西方世界,旨在描述发生在 充满神秘与恐怖氛围中的传奇经历。许多学者认为,“哥特元素大都运用于小说创作,而诗歌则由于受到情节、节奏与韵律的限制而缺少叙述哥特故事的基础条件” (Tzvetan 25-26)。但部分学者则坚信“哥特元素不仅存在于小说中,在诗歌当中亦可以分外活跃”(刘守兰:55)。作为美国哥特文学大师与先驱,埃德加·爱伦坡的短篇小说以及他的诗作都充满了哥特式的神奇色彩。但是大多数学者仅将研究聚焦于其短篇小说中的哥特研究,而忽视了该元素在其诗歌中也存在的现实。 一、爱伦坡所持的哥特式文学理论 爱伦坡对美好事物的凋零有着强烈的迷恋。追根究底,这还源于他儿时的丧亲之痛,与中年的丧妻之痛。而已逝女子的影子常在他脑海里盘旋,引领他在诗歌王国里翱翔。哥特式风格又恰如其分地被其用于诠释他心底深处的恐惧与压抑。众多作家在描写恐怖情节时,常对外部环境进行大力渲染,而他则更注重对人内心世界的雕琢。他深信“诗歌的最好主题是死亡,尤其是美丽尤物的死亡,将毫无疑问是世界上最具诗意的主题(Poe:133-140)”。他用诗歌践行了自己的写作原则,并将一生都奉献给了这种哀伤的美丽。为更清晰地展现爱伦坡的哥特式写作风格,本文将以《乌鸦》为例并诠释其中所蕴含的死亡之美与哥特式元素。 二、意象塑造 1、人与物的塑造 《乌鸦》塑造了两个重要形象:年轻男子与乌鸦。悲伤的男子刚失去他最爱的女子,他企图沉浸于书以忘却伤痛,但一切都是徒劳,他越看书,越被寂寞与悲痛侵蚀;而象征死亡与不祥的乌鸦却在午夜,飞入这间男子曾常与故去情人蕾诺相会的小屋。此外,诗人还塑造了两个对诗的主旨起重要作用的意象。其一为黑色,“纯色调可使人产生快乐或抑郁之感”(朱立元:489-490)。诗中所连续采用的黑色背景,可使读者感到压抑,从而感受男子心底的恐惧与悲痛。 诗中反复出现的“永远不再”亦可看作一种特殊形象。除该词的原意外,它还具有象征意义。在乌鸦出场时,悲伤的男子问它叫什么名字,乌鸦的回答就是“永远不再”,但当主人翁向乌鸦询问是否有良药以消除他心中对蕾诺的思念时,当他想知道是否能与蕾诺在遥远的天堂再次相会时,以及最后要求乌鸦离开小屋时,乌鸦都是通过“永远不再”作答,也正是这个词,使得男子陷入永恒的悲痛深渊。 2、场景设置 读者可在开篇看到一幅夜半三更的凄厉画卷: 阴森的气氛,令人毛骨悚然的场景,神秘而忧郁的男子,不祥的乌鸦……在阴郁而寒冷的午夜,除寒风的呼啸声与男子翻动书页的声音,周围的一切均可谓万籁俱寂,屋外的世界在夜的面纱笼罩之下,而屋内的狭小空间在昏暗的光线下显得忽明忽暗,突然一阵短暂的敲门声在他房门上叩响,但当他打开房门查看时,却不见敲门人,只有无情的黑夜与肆虐的狂风。然而,当他回到屋内,之前的敲门声却再次响起,乌鸦在这时飞入他的房间,并栖息于他房门之上。 但为何选择午夜作为故事发生的时间?午夜意味着恐怖与神秘,各种幽灵与魔鬼总在此时出没。这种令人发怵的氛围,为乌鸦的出场奠定了基调。诗人将故事设置在一所幽僻而狭小的屋子里也是别有一番用心。首先,狭小而封闭的空间对构

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.
