sense and sensibility was the first jane austen published. though she initially called it elinor and marianne, austen jettisoned both the title and the epistolary mode in which it was originally written, but kept the essential theme: the necessity of finding a workable middle ground between passion and reason. the story revolves around the dashwood sisters, elinor and marianne. whereas the former is a sensible, rational creature, her younger sister is wildly romantic--a characteristic that offers austen plenty of scope for both satire and compassion. commenting on edward ferrars, a potential suitor for elinor's hand, marianne admits that while she "loves him tenderly," she finds him disappointing as a possible lover for her sister.

soon however, marianne meets a man who measures up to her ideal: mr. willoughby, a new neighbor. so swept away by passion is marianne that her behavior begins to border on the scandalous. then willoughby abandons her; meanwhile, elinor's growing affection for edward suffers a check when he admits he is secretly engaged to a childhood sweetheart. how each of the sisters reacts to their romantic misfortunes, and the lessons they draw before coming finally to the requisite happy ending forms the heart of the novel. though marianne's disregard for social conventions and willingness to consider the world well-lost for love may appeal to modern readers, it is elinor whom austen herself most evidently admired; a truly happy marriage, she shows us, exists only where sense and sensibility meet and mix in proper measure.

第一次听说《穆斯林的葬礼》这本书是听至交好友介绍的。说这本书的内容很丰富，也很感人，曾感动了一辈人，当然也感动了我的这位好友。书拿到了，粗粗一看封面，很平常，简单的文字和几笔图画，一弯月牙一行回文，看不出有何奇特，感觉是很普通的一本书，洋洋数十万字，也没有感到什么奇特地方。

匆匆粗略看完这本书，才在脑海形成一个大概格局，但我再次欣赏此书时，却得到了更多的感触，惊叹于回族女作家霍达的笔触，可以让人陶醉在那样的意境里，让我真实地感觉到和主人公进行一次零距离接触，为他们欢乐，为他们痛哭，当一个个的送他们离开人间的时候，也为他们生死离别折磨的痛彻心肺。默默地，我流着泪，以特有的方式向已逝去的人表示我最沉痛的哀悼!

回族，我知道的也很少，只知道回族人都很爱干净，不吃猪肉，男人们头上都戴一顶小白帽，而女人则是头戴黑纱，仅此而已。《穆斯林的葬礼》的确是一部不可多得的好作品，在这部长达五十余万字的长篇小说里，作者以自己独特的视角，真挚的情感，丰厚的容量，深刻的内涵，回顾了中国穆斯林漫长而艰难的足迹，揭示了他们在华夏文化的撞击和融合中独特的心理结构。

以及在政治、宗教的氛围中对人生真谛的困惑和追求，塑造了梁亦清，韩子奇，梁君璧，梁冰玉，韩新月，楚雁潮等一系列栩栩如生，血肉丰满的人物，展示奇异而古老的民族风情及充满矛盾的现实生活。作品清新流畅，质朴无华;以细腻的笔触探测人的心灵，读后荡气回肠，留下深沉的思索，让我们看到了更多有关穆斯林的精神生活。

和新月的坎坷命运相比较，想想其实我们还是应该感到十分幸运和满足的。生活在现在这个和平社会，有父母的疼爱，更有追求幸福的权力。当看到当新月在病榻上还念念不忘学习她所钟爱的英文时，这种精神不正是我们现代人所要学习的地方吗?人啊，是应该学会满足，正所谓知足长常乐，当经历了生离死别，当看透了悲欢离合，我们最应该学会的是放弃看似重要东西。因为放弃更是一种美，而人生就是一个不断进取、知足常乐的过程。

i have never been to troy, but david maule made me feel as if i were standing on the high wall of troy, watching the fierce war. thanks to this british author, who adapted the famous homer’s poem into a lively story, i found it easier to understand this story. though the story happened over 3000 years ago in a remote place, i was deeply fascinated by it.

the mysterious plot is one of the reasons why i loved the story of troy so much, yet i am more interested in the human heroes of the war.

hector was the eldest son of king of troy, priam. he was not only a real hero of trojan, but was regarded the highest moral hero in greek classic by later historians. the war started because of the mischief of his brother, paris, whom he didn’t appreciate. however, since hector was the commander of the trojan army, he was obliged to fight with all force. it was really a tragedy that such a valiant man died in the duel with another great warrior, achilles.

it is natural to see death in a war. as a famous chinese parable says, “a life can be as slight as a piece of feather, or as weighty as mount tai.” sometimes, one’s glory walks hand in hand with one’s doom. achilles was such a typical person. his personal charm made the story of troy more attractive. he was so crucial because his every appearance in a war encouraged his fellow soldiers and terrified the enemies. actually, achilles was half-god who was almost invincible in people’s mind. that’s why his name was memorized long after his death.

besides the two great men, the wisdom of odysseus also proved him to be a great hero. he didn’t want to attend the war because he was happily married and had a lovely son. however, since his country was allied to mycenae, he had to take the command given by the king of mycenae.

i’m quite sure that the story of the wooden horse is widely known, however, few people know who thought of the brilliant idea, that’s why i admired odysseus so much because he was the person who got the idea. thanks to the horse, the ten-year war came to an end at last. if you want to know how the wooden horse worked, just read the book.

the ancient greeks believed that the gods and goddesses also played important roles in the origin, process and ending of the whole story.

the story of the golden apple was such an example. when eris, the goddess of argument and disagreement, threw out the golden apple to a wedding ceremony on mount olympus, a dispute happened. hera, the queen of gods, athena, the goddess of wisdom, and aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty, were all involved in the argument for the apple. none of them was willing to give way, so they turned to paris for a final judgment. tempted by aphrodite’s beauty and promise, paris handed the apple to her. to keep her word, aphrodite helped him to get helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, as his wife. that was the cause of the war.

paris’s choice obviously annoyed the other two goddesses. so during the war, they helped the greek alliance army while some other gods, such as apollo and aphrodite, guarded troy. when paris dueled with helen’s former husband menelaus, aphrodite saved paris when he was about to be finished off.

after the duel between those two people, there was a truce between the greek alliance and troy. however, both hera and athena were not happy to see it. hera pursued her husband zeus:“ now, will you send athena to make the troyjans break the peace?”(page 22) then with zeus’s permission, athena went down to start the war again and finally she brought the greeks to success.

from the whole story, we can see that in ancient greeks’ view, gods sometimes played a much more important role in their life. however, with the rapid development of science, we have learned that the greek gods never existed. this is why a recent movie of troy has not mentioned a single god. everything happened due to men’s ambition, love, loyalty or jealousy. with those emotion and people’s effort, we human beings can accomplish wonders and be master of the world.

god are of less importance than they used to be. nonetheless, the gods and goddesses made the story of troy more mysterious and marvelous.

i have learnt from the book more than the wonderful story of history, love and war. i believe that human can determine their destiny by their own. i highly recommend this book to my friends with the same interest.

英语名著英语读后感篇6

凡卡·茹科夫，一个只有九岁的小男孩，没有快乐的童年，却只能整日被打骂，受捉弄，没有亲人的陪伴与关爱，只能孤独一人在莫斯科做学徒，他悲惨的遭遇令所有人为之落泪……。前几天，我读了契诃夫的短篇小说《凡卡》，文中主人公凡卡的生活令我心中久久不能平静。

这篇课文讲述了凡卡在圣诞节前夜，给乡下爷爷康斯坦丁·玛卡里奇写了一封长信。在信中，他向爷爷哭诉了他在莫斯科的生活：稍有过错就挨打受骂、被伙计们捉弄、吃不饱饭、睡不好觉，有干不完的活计，甚至连只狗都不如!他在信中哀求爷爷，求爷爷带他回乡下去，虽然乡下生活也很贫苦，可起码还有疼爱他，与他相依为命的爷爷，他用包含泪水的笔写完了这封信后兴奋地投进了邮筒，怀着甜蜜的希望睡着了，做了一个美美的梦，但这注定了永远是个梦，他没有写清收信人的地址，爷爷不会收到这封信了，待美梦过去，迎接他的只是更加残酷的现实……

凡卡才九岁，比我们还要小，可他受的苦却是我们的几百倍。夜深了，人们都进入了甜美的梦乡，凡卡只有为老板的孩子不停摇摇篮的份，他可能已经瞌睡得睁不开眼睛，极度劳累，可这一切又有什么用呢?他敢睡觉吗?不敢，要是他睡了，又会遭到一顿毒打，尽管渴望睡眠已到了极致。白天，丰盛的一日三餐补充了人们的能量，让人们能够精力充沛地开始更好的工作，凡卡只能吃着极少的食物去干繁重的活计，他何尝不想品味美味佳肴，填饱咕咕叫的肚子，可他又怎敢去偷吃大鱼大肉?只好忍受饥饿，继续干活。乡下的生活是贫苦的，大城市的生活让多少人为之向往，可凡卡在大城市中感受到的只能有冷漠、无情、不公平!他多么怀念在乡下的生活，虽也有不公、痛苦，但是充满了快乐、满足!

凡卡的生活令人怜悯，他的童年与我们有天壤之别，我们多么幸福，穿暖吃饱，被人宠爱，是父母的掌上明珠。如果凡卡来到我们的身边，我情愿将我快乐与幸福分他一大半，让他感受到家的温暖!

一手拿笔，一手按住纸，正聚精会神地在光亮下写信，眼睛是那样专注，语文课本上《凡卡》一课的插图，让我的眼睛再次湿润了……
