老人与海读后感英文版 篇1
The old man and the sea creates a classic image of a tough guy. Santiago, an old fisherman in Cuba, went out to sea alone and caught a huge Marlin after 84 days of nothing. This is a big fish two feet longer than his boat that the old man has never seen or heard of. The fish is strong and dragging
Why didnt Hemingway let the old man win in the end? In the words of the old man in the novel, "a man is not born to be defeated", "a man can be destroyed, but he cant be defeated." This is the philosophy of the old man and the sea. Theres no denying that as long as its human, its flawed. When a person admits this defect and tries to overcome it instead of succumbing to it, whether he can finally overcome his own defect, he is a winner, because he has overcome his own compromise on the defect, he is the winner of his own courage and confidence. The old fisherman is the winner who dares to challenge his own defects and courage and confidence. From the perspective of worldly view of victory, the old fisherman is not the final winner, because although he defeated the great Marlin at first, the great Marlin was finally eaten by the sharks. He just returned to the shore with the white bone shelf of the great marlin, that is to say, the sharks are the winners. However, in the eyes of idealists, the old fisherman is the winner, because he has never been to the sea, not to the great marlin, not to the shark compromise and surrender. As music master Beethoven said, "I can be destroyed, but I cant be conquered.".
Human nature is strong, and human beings have their own limits, but it is precisely because people like the old fishermen challenge the limits again and again, and surpass them that the limits are expanded again and again, placing greater challenges in front of human beings. In this sense, such heroes as the old fisherman Santiago, whether they challenge the limit of success or failure, are worthy of our eternal respect.
Because what he brings us is the most noble confidence of human beings!
老人与海读后感英文版 篇2
Reading the book "the old man and the sea", I was deeply moved by the spirit of the old fisherman in the book! He let me know that a person must have perseverance to succeed!
This book describes an old fisherman who has a spirit of not saying defeat. Although he didnt catch a fish in 84 days, he still had hope and confidence every day. He believed that he could catch fish. So he made a long voyage. I admire this old fisherman very much. Think about myself. Sometimes when I do something and encounter a little setback, I want to give up. But with the encouragement of my parents, I persisted.
During the long voyage, he met a huge marlin. After three days of hard fighting, though his hand was cramped again and again, he grabbed the fishing rod as hard as he could; though his hand was marked with blood marks by the fishing line, he continued to insist and finally caught the fish. When I read this, I thought of that climbing. When I was halfway up the mountain, I was too tired. I fell twice on the road, and my hand was cut by the thorns on the side of the road. I wanted to give up for a time and didnt want to climb any more. But my mother encouraged me to say, "the goal is right in front of my eyes, and I will be at the top of the mountain. If I give up now, it will be a failure!" So I braced up and finally reached the top of the mountain!
The old man tied the fish to one side of the boat, but in the process of returning, the sharks in the sea found the marlin with the smell of blood. Many sharks attacked again and again. The old man fought with the sharks for wisdom and courage again and again. Finally, the old man stood out and brought the big fish back to the fishing port. Compared with the old fisherman, my little difficulty is nothing. As long as I stick to it and never say die, I will succeed!
I know that in my later life and study, I will also encounter many difficulties, but as long as I bravely meet the challenges with a confidence, I will always be a real winner!
老人与海读后感英文版 篇3
"A man is not born to be defeated. He can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated.". This is a very influential sentence in the old man and the sea. It is also a perfect interpretation given by Hemingway to his old man Santiago.
The old fisherman drifted in the sea without any harvest for 84 days, and finally caught a huge marlin. After two days and two nights of struggle, the old man finally killed the big guy. But on the way back, the big fish unfortunately attracted sharks. So after another deadly fight, the old man came back to the shore exhausted, but the giant marlin was only a skeleton bitten by the shark.
Although Hemingway didnt give the story a perfect ending, he depicted the unyielding quality of the spiritual strong for the readers.
"A man is not born to be defeated. He can be destroyed, but he cannot be defeated.". This is the old mans belief and the thought expressed in the old man and the sea. When one strives for a goal on the road of life, he often encounters many setbacks, just like the old man struggling with the shark in order to bring back the marlin. Many people are often afraid of suffering and succumb to it, and make themselves submit to it. But the old man didnt, and kept on fighting. Although the old man failed in the end - the marlin was eaten up by sharks, the old man was a "unbeaten loser". He never succumbed in spirit or action. Failure is not terrible. Who hasnt failed in life? Someone will give in to fate in failure, and the old will grow up in failure. The old mans image of "he can be eliminated, but he cant be defeated" is fully reflected in him, and people cant help but have deep admiration for the old man.
Return to reality from the old man. In reality, we are often the same as the old man. When we encounter such a setback, sometimes it is also a wave of ups and downs. However, "now is not the time to think about what is missing. Think about what you can do with what you have.". The difference between the weak and the strong is fully reflected in it. If we want to be a strong man on the road of life, we must be like the old man, who will not be defeated.
Life is a constant pursuit, its road is long and rough. But as long as we can fight bravely, we will be a winner forever!
老人与海英文读后感(一)
I was very favor of a section of music in its balls. It’s pretty brisk, liked a wonderful song of a bird. Regarding to the characters, I liked Elizabeth, the he-ro-in-e,though I didn’t think she’s beautiful. But she’s smart. However, I didn’t pay much attention to the plot. I thought it’s so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven’t read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice. In fact, I didn’t understand the story at that time. I didn’t know why it called Pride and Prejudice. Of course someone was pride, but I didn’t find where’ s the prejudice. I thought it’s normal, the way people treated each other in that. I considered prejudice would be very disgusting. But to the movie everthing was OK in my minds, except its length. Now, I think I have understood more about it. I’m a prejudiced person so I can’t find where’s wrong.
I merely like to do the things I like. Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.

Hemingway is also one of my favorite writers. Besides The Old Man And the Sea, I have read some of his other works, such as The Sun Also Rises, A Farewell to Arms and The Snow of Kilimanijaro. But The Old Man and the Sea is the one that left the deepest impression on me.
I first read this book when I was in my fifteens. And now I remember it just as well as if I had read it yesterday.
Pride and Prejudice is a chefdoeuvre.
My first impression of this story was from screen.
It's long long ago, maybe before I can read english books. I don't remember which movie edition I had seen. But I was impressed by the music, the scenery and the costume.

I thought it's so long that it made me impatient and bored. By now, I haven't read the whole story in English or its Chinese version, either. I owe it to my prejudice.

Everytime I meet somebody or something,my thinking about he or it all depends on my foregone experience and my mood of the time.
After a week's insistence, I finally finished reading "the old man and the sea" this foreign name. The book left a deep impression on me, I can't forget it. This novel mainly wrote one old man fishing in the sea alone. He caught a big fish, the fish head and upper body tied to the edge of the boat. But he met the shark, the old man pulled out all the stops and shark struggle, sharks eat fish can eat to all live to 800 pounds.
Look at the book, my heart can't be calm once in a long time, the common and respectable old man made me deeply understood: "perchance life should not be any difficulties, should do their best efforts and hardships do indomitable struggle of life.
Santiago ALGOL grandpa's stubborn spirit really makes me admire. Whenever I read about grandpa during a fierce battle with the sharks, I feel I do not know want nervous or worry about grandpa, grandpa, however, is always the spirit of optimism to face some great difficulties. See here, I couldn't help thinking of yourself, when I met with some difficulties, I always feel very frustrated, feel very tired, really want to escape from reality. Look at somebody else's Santiago ALGOL grandpa, undeterred by whether encounter any difficulty, but bravely to face!
So it should be human, not a death mask, to have confidence in myself. Even if we encounter difficulties, should not let it to beat, should bravely to destroy it.
I believe that with my efforts, I will become like Santiago ALGOL grandpa so brave, so brave to fight.

看了这本书，我的心久久不能平静，这位普通而又可敬的老人使我深深的懂得了：“做人不应该被任何困难所压服，应该尽自己最大的努力与生活中的磨难做不屈不挠的斗争。
桑提阿果爷爷的'硬骨头精神实在令我佩服。每当我读到爷爷与鲨鱼进行激烈的搏斗时，我的心情不知是要紧张还是要为爷爷担心，可是爷爷，总是保持着乐观的精神去面对一些极大的困难。看到这里，我不由得想起了自己，每当我遇到了一些困难时，总是觉得很不顺心，觉得很烦，很想逃避现实。再看看人家桑提阿果爷爷，不管遇到任何困难也毫不退缩，而是勇敢地去面对!
做人也应该这样，不要一副贪生怕死的样子，要对自己有信心。即使我们遇到重重困难，也绝不应该让它给打倒，应该勇敢地去消灭它。
